What If Naruto Had Most Powerful Ice Release Kekkei Genkai

Hello friends this is Proxima an what ifs how are you all so we are back with an interesting series on what if Naruto had most powerful eyes release K Jen Kai but before we start if you want more stuff like this then be sure to subscribe and like this video and if posi theud of the TR ice ever since the senju clan was formed its members have been revered and even feared for their abilities on the battlefield just like with the AA there hadn't been a single generation without outstanding prodigies nearly every member of the Clan was blessed with bigger than normal chakra reserves and an atlas mediocre control over that same chakra that is not to say that every senu AA was a prodigy or an exceptional Shinobi the fact alone that not every AA unlocked the Sharingan was proof of that just like with every other Clan there were those that just didn't have the driver talent to become Shinobi but in the end the AA and senju had a higher percentage of children with the ability to become Shinobi than other clans when people ask themselves why the senju were such exceptional Fighters the answer it's in their blood was a suitable and sufficient explanation for most but did it tell the whole story what exactly in the sju blood made them such exceptional Fighters the AA had their Sharingan and just like the senju had a generally higher amount of chakra at their disposal than other clans but what was it that made the send you that strong the bigger than normal chakra reserves and the control necessary to make some use of it even without much training was certainly helpful but chakra and the ability to use it to some degree still didn't make a good Shinobi while it was rumored that the muttin of the sh a Hokage sju hashirama may have been the long lost K Jen Kai of the senju the ability to use muttin had never again occurred within the clan so didn't seem to be the right answer in the end the answer to all of it is that the chakra of asju has a substantially different structure when compared to that of nonu it gave their chakra a certain fluidity that remained until the body fully matured in regard to its chakra meaning that until the chakra coils and the chakra core of a person have fully matured which happened around the age of 16 their chakra could be shaped in different ways with this in mind it explains how senju hashirama was able to use moku and Jutsu he just used his natural affinities for dotten and sutin and combined them possibly by accident and created the muttin that he became famous for his brother tarama on the other hand had only one natural Affinity his being toward sutin which allowed him to focus on only this element hence making him the representation of the level that many sutin users want to achieve even now years after his death senut tsun the officially last senju today has used this k in a different way than her ancestors though she probably did so not knowing of its true effects she focused much of her time while training on the aspects of irion and Jutsu which would explain her famous skills in healing while the shaame Hokage was able to heal us well after researching this to the best of my abilities I have concluded that the healing that he was famous for was only self-healing which may have come with the essence of muttin being the creation of life to some degree while he was also a known medic it is never stated that he was exceptionally skilled at it Atlas compared to Shob that focused primarily on healing since most of the Clan's documents are not available for my eyes since only the current head senut Tsunade could give anyone else access to them I cannot confirm if other members of the senju clan have had similar theories about the essence of their K Jen Kai I hope that this Theory will find confirmation before the senju clan will be extinct since sunsun does not seem have plans for having any children I hope that my children will be able to keep the clan alive once they are made aware of their Heritage thought manado before sealing The Scroll after adding the date to the scroll that he had been writing on 20th of February 1 month after kha has become pregnant it had been a long night for serat toi heisen when he first sensed the cao's chakra he had obviously been worried well he had been well aware of the risks that were involved with kashim giving birth he had had faith in manado and his skill in fuinjutsu since he wasn't able to get any details from the now deceased parents and the nurse as well as his wife were dead that was one of the things that manado had been able to tell him he could only guess to what had happened in the cave after he had brought nuto into his now again office he had gone to the cave That kha was supposed to give birth in after seeing the killed Ambu around the place he had known that something more had happened here but what that was he was not sure after calling his most trusted Squad of U he had all the bodies recovered so they could be buried now he was sitting in the Hokage office and was contemplating what to do about Nudo and the village population at first he had wanted to announce nutk status to the Village but he had thought better of it well he would have to tell Atlas the Shinobi portion of the council as long as the civilians didn't know nuto could grow up somewhat normally in the village he wasn't sure if he would ever tell the civilians of Naruto status or Atlas not until nuto could decide himself if he wanted them to know but the Shinobi population would have to know eventually and then there was the matter of his Heritage Vado had told him of his relation to the nidam Hokage and with it the sjuk clan when he became a jonan when he arrived at the side of the caoi ceiling manado had only been able to tell him two things one he wanted for nuto to be respect Ed for carrying the caoi someday and two that he had to read a certain scroll in the letter that could be found on monado's desk at his house having read both the letter and the scroll made hear is in wonder what the future would have in store for the little boy one thing was certain though the little blond-haired blue-eyed child lay in his office right now was basically destined to be a great Shinobi and he would do his best to give him the best chance at doing so for now he had a council meeting to suffer through after much discussion between the Hokage the elders and the Shinobi Council it had been decided that Naruto could not be put in the care of any of the Clans instead he would be put in an orphanage so he could be looked after for the first years of his life bhir Isen and some of the clan heads hadn't necessarily been happy about the decision they also knew and understood the reasoning behind the action perison would have taken nuto in himself but his duty as Hokage wouldn't allow to care for a child that young another thing that prevented nuto from being cared for by any of the Clans was his senu Heritage but lonely sandan knew of it he was aware of the fact that nuto would hold a high amount of political Sway in the Village when he was old enough so he couldn't let any of the Clans be able to get him on their side for the future should nuto prefer certain Clans over others on his own later on that was his decision but hin didn't want him to be influenced because of his Heritage too early he was still not sure at what point he should tell the village of Naruto's status as a jiki and a sju another problem with the AA when Cobi had announced that the caoi had been sealed into Naruto the clan had fugaku had gained expression that was half angry and half plotting while serat toi didn't distrust the AA as much as his Sensei sju tarama a certain amount of weariness had still rubbed off onto him after thinking about it hin had decided to have one of his amboo watch Naruto just to be safe so for the next four years Naruto grew up like any normal child in the orphanage that he had been placed in the only difference being that Naruto got a couple of visits from the Hokage every month well he wasn't aware of this fact at first it had been explained to nuto the last time that they met when Cobi had told him some stories from his youth when listening to these stories Naro couldn't help but imagine himself becoming a ninja one day he had seen some of them around the village but it hadn't happened that often so the next time that the sandan came to visit and take him with him to his office Nudo immediately asked if he could hear some more stories about Shinobi at the end when it was time for narudo to be brought back he asked a sand a the one question that would set him on a path towards greatness can I become a Shinobi too pisin had at first been surprised to hear the question so soon although he had anticipated that nuto would someday ask him about it he didn't think would do so this soon while real training was obviously not possible since nut's young body wouldn't be able to sustain physical conditioning he could still start and learn about chakra and the necessary knowledge that was attached to it very well Naruto K I will give you some things that you can read so that you are better prepared since you are a bit Young For Real training we will focus on giving you the knowledge you need should you need any help understanding the things written in the books just ask me the next time I come to see you said the sand Dame after that he went to one of the bookshelf in his office and took out four books in one scroll before placing them in the bag Nudo always carried when he went outside thank you very much said nuto with a big smile that reminded Sarat toi for a moment of a certain red-haired kinoi the sand aim was stopped from remembering anymore when he felt two small arms around him looking down he could see Naruto hugging him seeing this the Hokage hugged back before the two separated after saying a quick goodbye nuto left the Hokage office and the Hokage Tower before making his way to one of the usually vacant parks since this park was very close to the training grounds for the Shinobi not many civilians used it and the few Shinobi that came here mostly focused on themselves when they were in the park nuto liked to come here and just sit in the grass and listen to the leaves rustling in the wind well Naruto didn't have any problem with the other people in the village he really enjoyed These Quiet Moments it made him just forget the world around him not having to concern himself with anything after a minute of just sitting there Naruto took out one of the books that the Hokage had given him the title of the book read what it means to be a Shob after opening the book Nudo started slowly reading the book while he was unfamiliar with a few of the words he could understand most of it since the book was written with the intention of explaining the basics of Shinobi life to Children it had been one of the books that the sand Dame had read when he was taught to be a Shinobi Nudo was so engrossed in his reading that he didn't even notice the sun starting to set when he finally looked up from his book he noticed that it was already very late if he didn't get back to the orphanage soon the matron would be displeased with him and he didn't want to have that happen after storing the book back in his bag Naruto started heading for the orphanage while passing close to one of the training grounds Naruto could hear the sound of a person panting loudly moving closer to the sound nuto tried to get a good look at the source of the Sound by standing behind the tree in a position that allowed him to see the person but still be well hidden standing in the training ground was a boy not much older than nuto himself he couldn't be older than five and had long dark brown hair that was bound in a low ponytail he was wearing brown training clothes and blue sandals that Naruto had seen some of the Shinobi wear the boy was repeatedly flowing through the same movements it seemed to Naruto that he was training to fight in hand-to-hand combat after watching for a bit longer Naruto saw the boy stop his movements and drink a bit of water from a canteen that was standing not too far from him well the boy was turning nuto was able to catch a glimpse of his eyes they were a pale white when he had first seen people with pale white eyes in the village he had thought that the person was blind but he had seen these people too often for them to all be blind Naruto did notice that all looked kind of similar to each other though when he had asked the Hokage about this the sand Dame had chuckled heartily before explaining to him that it wasn't a special kind of I color but the K Jenai of the hyuga clan the Bakugan well he hadn't understood everything the Hokage had told him about it some of the things he had understood sounded really cool but nuto stopped his train of thought he noticed that the boy was gone from the training field so nuto made his way to the orphanage as fast as possible it had been 3 weeks since Naruto had gotten the books from the he now read all of them the scroll that the the Hokage had given him was actually a detailed explanation to meditation after he had read all of the books some with the help of the Hokage nuto had wanted to try out some of the things mentioned in the books like unlocking his chakra when he had asked the sand a about it he had agreed as long as he was there when Naro did it while nuto didn't initially like that he had to wait longer to do it he understood that the Hokage was a busy man and didn't always have time for him but it also meant that he was all the more happy about being able to unlock his chakra today the sand Dame had told him that he would visit today and then they would go and unlock his chakra and to say nuto was exited was an understatement before he could think any more about all the things he could when he had unlocked his chakra Naruto's Keen hearing picked up three rather loud knocks that way of knocking while making it sound incredibly patient but also giving you the feeling that you better not take your time in answering the door he had only heard it the times that the sand Dame came to visit so with that thought in mind Naruto placed all the books in his bag and rushed down the door with a bag strapped to his back when he got to the entrance he saw the matron opening the door and greeting the Hokage after Naruto had arrived downstairs and greeted the Hokage himself the two of them were on their way to one of the more secluded training grounds in the village when they arrived the Hokage told Naruto to sit down in the middle of the field in a meditative position when Naruto had sat down and the sand Dame had made one or two corrections to his form the Hokage began instructing him on how to unlock his chakra now Naruto Khan I want you to turn your focus inwards and ignore the outside if you search you should be able to find a certain feeling in your stomach area that seems to be a locked away move towards that and pull it to the surface if you do not find it immediately do not worry for most people it takes a bit to unlock their chakra instructed the Hokage in a lecturing tone after listening to everything the sand a said Naruto closed his eyes and tried to focus on steadying his breathing and just focusing on the calming effect of nature while studying his breathing took a while since he was still very exited Naruto was eventually able to do it now Nudo tried to turn his Focus Inward and search for the feeling that had been described in the book book he read about chakra and by the sand a moments ago it was a while later that nuto thought that he had found what he was searching for he didn't know how long he had been sitting there and meditating but if he had to guess he would say that it had been about 10 minutes now delving deeper Naro was able to get a grasp on what he presumed to be his chakra when he reached it the first thing that the feeling brought to mind for Naruto was the picture of a frozen lake surrounded by snow covered trees the feeling of Chilly temperature accompanying the image didn't make Naruto feel uncomfortable instead it had a calming and comforting feel to it shortly after this Naruto let his own chakra envelop him to finally unlock it at first it seemed like power was flooding his body and his veins felt like ice was running through them but it didn't cause him any pain after the chakra had fully enveloped him a painful feeling started to appear all over his body before Naruto could stop the meditation and interrupt whatever was happening the pain ended and he fell unconscious but Naruto opened his eyes the first thing that he noticed was a white ceiling and a distinct smell of disinfectant assaulting his nose after adjusting to the the unnatural Lighting in the room narudo slowly sat up in his bed and looked around he seemed to be the only one in the hospital room so Naruto decided to wait for somebody to come and see him about 10 minutes of waiting later the door to Naruto's room opened and the sand a stepped into the room after he closed the door behind him he walked towards Naruto's bedside and sat down in one of the chairs next to the bed how are you my boy and what happened while you were meditating asked the sand Dame I'm feeling okay right now sir Toby aeson and I really don't know what happened when I was searching for my chakra I thought I had found it and reached out for it when I was touching it I guess I felt like I was on a frozen lake surrounded by snow covered trees it was cold but not uncomfortable it actually felt calming then it felt like ice was running through my veins but it wasn't painful after that my whole body started to hurt before I passed out what happened while I did that said nuto before asking the question that he would really like to have answered he didn't think that this was in any way a normal process but something had to have caused a pain and maybe may it had been visible from the outside well at first nothing happened for about 10 minutes before I could see your chakra when you unlocked it at first it was just a visible outline around your body later it looked like a Vortex of chakra cesing around your body shortly after that the vortex dispersed which was accompanied by a slight shock wave and your body was once again visible but you were already unconscious everything seemed fine but there were some changes answered the Hokage before trailing off at the end what is it what changed asked nuto slightly worried that something bad had happened to him instead of answering the sand aim held up a mirror that had been lying on the bedside table unbeknownst to Naruto when nuto looked into the mirror he was at first confused before he realized that it was him that was looking back at him ww what happened to me asked Naruto while still looking into the mirror the reason for this was that nut's looks had undergone a slight change instead of his normally tan complexion his skin was noticeably paler but not to a high degree and that wasn't really Naruto's problem however his normally son kissed blonde hair hair was now replaced by a snow white shock of hair it still had a certain spikiness to it but it didn't seem as noticeable with a change in color accompanying it his eyes had also changed a bit his normally blue eyes reminiscent of the ocean were now one or two shades lighter and somehow reminded nuto of the frozen lake that he had imagined when he had first reached for his chakra it seems to me like the unlocking of your chakra caused these changes but I'm not sure why that is the case all I can say is that they will be permanent because there seem to be fundamental changes to your body from you unlocking your chakra that is all we know I'm sorry Naruto K said the Hokage before continuing in his thoughts although the fact that his chakra froze some of the plants around him is rather interesting dot after telling nuto that the next time they would meet they would look for some more books the Hokage left the hospital for his office it had been a whole year since Naruto had unlocked his chakra and much had changed for the young senju ever since the sand a had introduced Naruto to the Shinobi Library he had been going there as often as possible well he wasn't able to access much of the library when it came to Jutsu or other concrete Styles or techniques he was still able to read up on the different Shinobi Clans in koha and some of the basic information that was available about them another thing that was already available to him were the techniques taught at the Academy the three Jutsu mentioned in a book that he read about the current curriculum where he ranked which meant that even civilians were allowed to look them up another thing that he had Learned was how one trained to better control their chakra the book about the academy talked about a leaf sticking exercise used in the academy to let young children get their first grasp SP chakra control one of the first books that the sand Dame had given him had been about chakra and everything related to it that book had talked about different exercises like tree walking and water walking but it didn't explain what exactly one had to do to learn them since he hadn't been sure which of these books was right and which of the exercises he should try he had asked the sand a the next time that he visited when he had heard his question he had explained to Naruto that he should try the leaf sticking exercise since it would show him how one controlled his chakra in the basic sense after that he could triy to change the exercise up to make it harder using his own imagination so that's what he did well the leaf sticking exercise had initially been hard because the dumb leaves just kept being blown away by his chakra he hadn't let it deter him so after half a day of trying he had finally done it when the leaf was finally sticking to his forehead nuto had realized just how hungry he was so he didn't train anymore that day after that nuto had changed the exercise by using more than one leaf and trying to stick them to other body parts when he had gotten it down with 15 leaves he tried to levitate them with chakra alone learning all of that had taken him about 3 months since other chakra control exercises weren't available to Naruto as of that point he had started to learn the three Jutsu taught at the Academy or he had tried to well kaari and hen were easily Mastered by nuto the bunch and gave him some problems but he had done it at the end even so he was still restricted to making Atlas three clones any lower than that and he couldn't do it when he had finally given up on doing it and asked the Hokage for advise he had been told that the bunin took virtually no chakra so since his chakra reserves were quite high at L low tun in level but he didn't know that for his age and he didn't have the necessary control it wouldn't be possible for him to do it for now so nuto left it at that and focused on other things than the dumb bunin for example T Jutsu while he only had access to the academy style of T Jutsu he was still able to train his strength endurance and speed separately so that's what he did while training to Jutsu one day he had also been made aware of his current Watcher flashback at the moment we can see nuto in one of the secluded training grounds in the village practicing his TJ Jutsu he wasn't really sure if his movements were correct since he only had the scroll from the library to go off but he didn't let that stop him right now nuto was going through the forms once again to commit them to Memory when he finished his last form he was surprised to hear somebody behind him talk usually his sense of sound and smell were enough to detect anybody close to him you have to use that style differently said an emotionless voice from behind him when nut Whirled around around he saw a boy judging by the body structure with his face hidden behind a porcelain mask Naruto immediately realized what kind of mask this was it was the kind that koha Ambu used B Naruto had never seen one in person he had read about the U forces in the library and had been immediately intrigued they handled all those missions no normal team of jonan can accomplish safely Ambu had to undergo special training before being allowed on higher level missions the be accepted into the force itself wasn't hard basically every Shinobi of junin rank or higher could join if you finished the complete training program though you were a real part of Ambu the person nuto was looking at couldn't be much older than 10 when he looked at the person again nuto realized that the Ambu agent had said something uh what do you mean asked nuto well he only learned this to Jutsu style from the scroll he got he was fairly sure that he was doing this right the problem was that t Jutsu was normally taught from teacher to student because of this reason you just can't see if your own stance is right what I mean is that the style you are using is an offensive Style you however are more defensive in your T Jutsu movements that means you either adjust to the style or search for a new one the style taught at the Academy is only supposed to be a foundation anyways said the U so I should be more aggressive in my motions when using this style asked nuto after listening to what the Ambu had said yes if you shift your weight and then lean your torso differently it's easier to start of a fight with that style it focuses on continuously attacking right from the start for that you need to able to take the Reigns in a fight an explosive opening can help with that explained the ambo agent before the stance that Naruto had used before for the next hour Naruto listened as the agent show his stance and then showed him how to adjust it for that style while doing so he explained why those changes were important for the effectiveness of the style after that the next hour was spent getting Nudo to memorize the right stances when they finally finished with the last C of the ambo agent once again spoke up you did well Naruto K you should rest for now and go eat something I will see you some other another time after that the Ambu agent took a step away from Naruto and shined away flashback end ever since then nuto had met the same U agent once a week during training sometimes he would correct nuto or just answer some questions he had Naruto wasn't sure why an uo was helping him but he wasn't complaining right now Naruto was sitting in his room in the orphanage yesterday he had been told that he was supposed to meet the Hokage today and that it was important so right now nuto was getting ready to head to the Hokage Tower and it was time Nar left the orphanage after telling the matron not to worry when Naro had gotten to a less crowded place he focused some chakra to the soles of his feet before jumping up to the rooftops Naruto had read about this in the library and had sometimes seen Shinobi do it so he had immediately set to learn it it only took nuto 2 minutes to get to the Tower this way since he didn't need to look out for civilians when he got there he climbed the stairs and told the hokage's secretary that he was here now so she could inform the Hokage after 5 minutes of waiting the door to the office opened and old man exited the office his right eye was covered by bandages and he was using a cane he seemed to constantly frown and gave off the feeling of a wise and experienced person when the man passed Naruto his eyes seemed to linger on him for a bit longer than anything else before he left when nuto looked back to the secretary he saw her motioning for him to enter the office now when narudo entered the office he saw the sand a sitting behind his desk and reading something after closing the door narudo sat down in one of the chairs in front of the desk after a minute of reading the h looked at Naruto and smiled his Grand favly smile thank you for coming nuto I have something that I need to tell you now that you are close to starting at the Academy started the Hokage when he heard this nuto just nodded he understood that some things were too difficult to understand at a young age and he didn't hold it against his grandfather figure that not everything about him was told to him immediately what I need to tell you concerns your heritage and with it your K Jenai ever since you unlocked your chakra I was able to confirm that you possess the K Jen Kai of your clan that that Clan is the sju clan with that you have access to the sju compound in the village and to some degree the sju fortune that means that from now on you will live in the sju compound when you are old enough you will be able to get a seat on the council if my student sun does not return to the Village until then she is most likely your only living relative ended the Hokage with a somewhat sadden tone after that the sand a explained some of the things that being the heir of a clan such as the sju entailed for Naruto when all had been explained the Hokage took nuto to the senju compound and explained that he would get a monthly allowance from the Hokage and that his status as a sju would be revet to the Village soon when the sand a left the sun was already setting so Naruto entered the main house of the compound once again after walking in Naruto saw a scroll and a letter laying on a table that was located in a room at the front of the main house it looked like it was supposed to be used to greet guests as far as Naruto could tell taking the scroll and letter with him Naruto left the room he guessed that the letter had some money in it so he could buy all the things he would need but he had no idea about the scroll but Naro had found his way back to the master bedroom he took his clothes off and laid down in the bed with the scroll still in hand opening the scroll and reading the start of it Naruto realized that it was a scroll containing knowledge or more likely theories about the function of his K Jen Kai nuto didn't sleep very long that night the basics of chakra 2 as mentioned in part I chakra is compassed of energies of both Mind and Body by mixing those two together everyone can form chakra chakra on its own is not discernable expect for what we know only as sensing by expelling waves of chakra in the right way one can get an awareness of his surroundings which includes chakra by receiving different Echoes the amount of chakra and its density can be discerned this way one can distinguish between a civilian or weak Shinobi who have lower amounts of chakra and a strong Shinobi that is just suppressing his chakra a denser chakra means that the person has extensively used chakra in his life which is a clear indication towards them being a Shinobi then there is An Occurrence known as natural sensors these people are able to sense their surroundings without consciously expelling chakra this way they cannot be noticed as easily while sensing since the action of expelling chakra can easily be picked up by other Sensors how exactly natural sensors do this is not clear however they still play crucial role in the defense of a village or on missions in general chakra can however be visible in certain situations if a big amount of chakra is focused at a single point or in a defined space a blue glow can be made out this glow can intensify depending on the amount of concentrated chakra sometimes can be even smelled or tasted people with enhanced senses like the members of the inuzuka clan for example can be able to notice chakra in the surrounding area that is if enough chakra saturates the area the praised Jutsu of Kiri kurar no Jutsu can be easily distinguished from normal Mist by observing through enhanced sense as mentioned before chak normally takes a blue color when it can be seen however there are some exceptions to this first there are the different Elemental chakra types by giving the chakra in nature and not just using it in its pure pure form the chakra takes on a certain Hue depending on the nature used this however isn't seen often since most of the time Elemental chakra is used through Jutsu and not through normal channeling of chakra when one channels their chakra through weapon this change can sometimes be seen if the nature isn't completely mastered if the nature is mastered the normal blue of the chakra is completely missing and only the color of the nature used can be seen secondly there is a change in color when chakra reaches a certain density denser chakra appears darker in color but this isn't something happen often since most Shinobi never get far enough in their training before their death a much better example of this phenomenon is the chakra of the bigu bju chakra is contrary to popular belief not completely different from the chakra that we humans use instead the chakra bigu is made off is just highly concentrated and dense chakra because of this it both changes color to orange red and acts almost like acid to the everything it touches since human skin isn't accustomed to such high concentrations of chakra it normally just burns away that is why wound dealt by bigu as few as there are are very hard to treat this is also the reason why the sealing of a bigu into an adult overloads their body their fully matured body and chakra system are simply not able to adjust to the quantity and concentration of chakra placed in their system which leads to the host's death the last exception known to me as of now is what my brother has explained to me as senjutsu chakra by taking a natural energy from the surroundings one is able to blend this energy with their chakra to form senjutsu chakra to be able to do this one has to be able sense and then direct natural energy for this one has to gain some kind of connection to the nature of the world I believe my brother did so through his muttin though he was very secretive on the specifics I could imagine that the different summoning animals also represent such a connection the senjutsu chra that is used to engage something called sage mode in this state many of the body's attributes are greatly improved just likely all Jutsu used by the user well I do not know the actual color sestu chakra takes my brother has mentioned that there is a difference sju tarama it had been almost 10 months since Naruto had started Living in the senju compound and he loved it after exploring the whole compound he had immediately found his favorite spots one of them being the clan Library the senju clan being known as the clan of a thousand skills had an enormous amount of knowledge stored away from Jutsu Scrolls to different to Jutsu or kinjutsu styles to basic knowledge about basically everything many of these books were written by members of the senju clan especially the niame Hokage but others were written by people not part of the clan nuto loved to just spend his time walking through the rows of shelves and picking out one of the books before getting lost in his own world for a time but because he had already gained such extensive knowledge through Reading in the senju library and even before that in the books the sand Dame gave him he was ahead of everybody else in the academy the things taught at the Academy were never new for Naruto so he basically spent his time in the academy waiting for the Practical lessons as few and far between as they were even then there wasn't much he could be taught the few things that were taught in the first year when it came to practical lessons were already known to Naruto the TJ Jutsu style used at the Academy wasn't really taught until the second year and the small amount of things they did do were nothing new since he had already learned all of the forms for the style most of the time nuto just took some books from the senju library with him and read them in the academy B the tutors didn't like that he wasn't paying much attention at the start that soon stopped when he aced every test they did it got so far that the answers nuto wrote down sometimes included knowledge that was not taught at the Academy at all or was only taught in the later years when Naruto wasn't in the academy he spent most of his time either training or reading one of the first things he had looked for in the library had been the senju to Jutsu style while the academy style was a good basis it was a mainly aggressive style which didn't suit Naruto very well the senu style much like the Interceptor style of the AA was a style that was used more defensively so when nuto had found the scroll he had immediately set to learn it two things that hadn't changed were his meetings with the sand a and the help he got while training with the U agent that was assigned to guard him even though he still didn't know who the U agent was he didn't let it stop him ambo agents wore the masks for exactly that purpose anyway Nudo had also started on learning some Jutsu he already knew the three Jutsu taught at Academy and could use all of them the only problem was that his bunions always dispelled very fast he had tried minimizing the chakra he put into the Jutsu but he just couldn't get it that low Atlas with his level of chakra control so he had searched for other methods of increasing his control the books about the basics of chakra included the more advanced forms of chakra control like tree climbing and water walking well he had gotten tree climbing after a few tries he was still working on water walking but while looking through the library one day he had also found a scroll the scroll was a Jutsu scroll for the cage bunch and no Jutsu a technique developed by the nidam Hokage the description of the technique stated that it cost much more chakra than the normal bunin but because of this had to be used cautiously since it could kill the user if their chakra levels were too low when he had asked the Ambu aent the next time he met him if he could safely attempt using the technique he had gotten permission but with the added warning to not try to create more than one clone for now even so he had done it the cage bunch and no Jutsu not needing much control if one had the necessary chakra to use it wasn't as hard to learn as Naruto had thought since the scroll that he had learned the cage bunch and no Jutsu from was written by the niame Hokage himself all specifics of the technique were listed as well this included the memory transfer upon a clone dispelling well Naruto had tried to use it for reading once it had been pretty bad idea he had made his clone read a book from the library while reading another one himself when the Clone had dispelled a head splitting headache had ensued the sensation of memories literally being stuffed into your brain was strange and very painful even though the pain had subside relatively fast after that it had still made nuto cautious of using the technique in such a way at least for now another thing that Naruto had noticed was that his hen seemed different than the normal one when nuto used the Jutsu the same way everybody else did he actually transformed why exactly this was the case he didn't know but it was still pretty cool the ability to transform into different animals did have its appeal and could be very useful on missions right now Naruto was in the academy they had just finished a lecture on history and all the students were currently outside warming up for the coming to Jutsu spars well not all of them were really warming up only the clan aers that made up a high amount of Naruto's class were actually taking the exercises somewhat seriously most of the civilian children didn't put much effort into it and others mainly the girls didn't even try to hide the fact that they weren't warming up well that really wasn't nut's problem though he had decided on one of the first days at the Academy to focus mainly on his own education he would gladly answer any questions others had but he wouldn't go out of his way to get all of the students ready they either tried hard enough to be become ninja or they didn't after about 10 minutes the instructors walked towards the field that would be used for the sparring it wasn't anything special actually just a patch of dirt with a circle to Mark the sparring Zone the first pairs were all made up of of Civilian children even though if they actually joined the Shinobi Force the difference between Clan or civilian children wouldn't really matter anymore it was a fact that those children from clans were generally better since they were trained from their Clans at a young age already and so the fights went generally males were pitted against males and females against females Naruto really hoped that this would change in the later years of the academy since females only fighting against females in the academy didn't help them when they were pitted against a male in a real fight most of the time the stronger build of a male made them fight differently than females and they should learn how to deal with both genders as enemies in the academy well there hadn't been many T Jutsu classes especially with them sparring amongst each other it was still relatively clear to the students and instructor where everyone was at in the terms of T Jutsu but it wasn't completely obvious who was actually the best the ones that came to mind were inuzuka Kiba abam Shino itasasu kenju Naruto since the girls were relatively even into Jutsu it wasn't as much of a contest nuto had thought that hayu UGA Hinata would immediately win every T Jutsu Spar but the girl seemed to be unlike every other hyuga she was incredibly shy and mean hesitated before every strike that meant that if she won at all the matches took incredibly long and the other times she was pitted against on of the better girls and simply lost but nuto had noticed this he had been pretty disappointed he could still remember the time when he had seen another hyuga maybe a year older than him training into Jutsu and he had seemed infinitely stronger when compared to Hinata so when all the other spars had been finished with the last one ending with narish Shikamaru forfeiting as soon as he was allowed to that guy is really way to Lazy Sho and kibba were called to spar next and yuzuka Sen is pretty good since his clan is focused primarily on T Jutsu and then their style has a somewhat feal unpredictability to it which makes it a pain to deal with but abam sen isn't half bad either though I always have the faing that he is consciously holding back all the time thought Naruto the fight while rather impressive for firste Academy students wasn't really anything special in the grand scheme of things though nuto had the feeling that Shino could have won if he had wanted to it had seemed like he had slowed down at the end so kibba would win maybe Sho just took the idea of deception to heart and didn't want to expose all of his abilities and now for the last fight it chasuk versus send you Naruto one of the instructors announced but nuto heard the announcement he made his way to one side of the circle Sask was already waiting on the other side since he had been standing closer to the area than nuto who had been leaning against a tree and observed ing the spars when both of them had assumed their position in the circle one of the two instructors stepped between them and told them to make the Seal of Confrontation it was basically a half Ram seal that everybody was supposed to do before starting a spar when they had both given the sign the instructor raised his arm before swinging it down with a cry of Haim and jumping out of the circle as soon as the signal to start the fight was given nuto jumped back to create some distance so he would be able to assume the correct stance he had watched sas's bar so far and he went for it Direct aggressive maneuver all of the time while nuto didn't know why he did it since the Interceptor style was supposed to be defensive he really couldn't care less if his opponent wanted to use his style the wrong way who was he to deny them DUS as predicted saso immediately jumped forward while throwing a right hook since there was no resistance because he hid only air sasu overstepped slightly and left himself wide open capitalizing on this Naro countered with a kick to the side which knocked Sask a good two feet to the side if the kick had been chakra enhanced Sask would have away much farther but Naruto still wasn't that good enhancing his muscles with chakra since this was only a spar Naruto didn't exploit sas's vulnerable state and simply assumed his stance at point in the circle farthest away from sas's position saso got up as fast as he could while looking clearly surprised in his last spars nobody had taken the defensive from the get-go and because of this his very Reckless forward dive had always worked as soon as Sask was on his feet nuto was on guard and it did him well since not a second later Sask was once again and taking the initiative this time he attacked with a spinning kick while midair seeing this Naruto ducked under the kick and waited for saso to lose some height before executing a roundhouse kick to sasukes back nearly throwing the AA out of the circle had he not stopped himself by using his feet to stop his momentum in the last moment once again nuto didn't follow up on this and simply assumed his stance again while looking at sasu completely calm looking behind him Sask saw that his opponent had once again disregarded exploiting the situation and had instead once again assumed his stance all the while looking completely calm and compassed like he wasn't the least bit concerned it was infuriating for Sask he was in AA one of the elite even though his enemy was a senju that Clan was basically extinct so they surely couldn't measure up to the AA how dare he mock me like that it should not be like this is though Sask while getting all the more angry that nuto still had not made a move after Sask sat there for a while he seemed to have decided to continue the fight turning around and rushing at Naruto in full Sprint to surprise him seeing this Naruto lowered his Center so to better withstand the impact of what he was about to do instead of again starting with a kick saso decided to once again use a punch as an opening throwing a punch with his left as a diversion and starting the real punch with his right shortly after Sask was sure that he would still win that thought got blown out of the window when Narito didn't as assumed by sasu once again Dodge but instead caught his left hand with both hands before pulling him towards himself and Landing a knee into sasukes gut before throwing the AA with a grunt of exertion out of the circle unbeknownst to everyone but Naruto sas's actual punch executed with his right hand had hit and had almost thrown nuto off had he not anticipated a heavy impact that had happened from sasukes momentum but instead threw his punch when Naruto had read about this move he had thought that he would need to be more careful since he was actually stopping his opponent's momentum with just his strength and stance but this time it had still assisted him since the force of the punch hadn't stopped nuto from going through with a throw I definitely have to work on spotting fain's thought Naruto while walking toward Sask the other students were greatly impressed and surprised especially those that had already fought against Sask narudo had not been hit once and simply retaliated when there was no way for sasu to stop him the instructors were also very impressed though it had been rather clear to them that either of the two would take the first spot in class concerning T Jutsu they hadn't thought that the difference in skill concerning T Jutsu would be this great sasu juts now realizing that he had lost looked up to see nuto walking towards him when he stopped in front o him he simply held out his hand in the Seal of reconciliation sasukes already damaged Pride after being defeated in such a way couldn't take it anymore nuto hadn't expected this kind of reaction out of the AA he knew the AA just like the hauga were a proud Bunch but to let that rule you in such way didn't seem normal a small growling sound was heard from sasu while he glared at Naruto then he simply slapped nutk hand away and left the field B narudo really didn't care if the AA liked him or not he didn't think that it was so bad to lose a simple Spar like this sure it had been rather easy but what did that matter it was the first year in the academy and they were still learning so it really shouldn't be that much of a deal right when Sask had left the field the instructors announced that they would review the spars tomorrow and that they all could go now Narito didn't immediately head towards the senju compound since he wanted to read something in the normal Library some of the more recent events weren't part of the senju library since no one had really been expanding the library after most of the clan had died and the last remaining senu had left and left the academy he hadn't been able to get the picture out of his head the senju mocking him by instigating that they were somehow equals he a descendant of the main family of the AA Clan and some random sju never he would show him he'd get what he deserved for humiliating an AA like this shortly after making up his mind on how to teach nuto a lesson Sask arrived home where he was greeted by his father what happened at the Academy today came the indifferent voice of his father who didn't even look up from his work when Sask entered the room SAS had had to slightly grit his teeth before answering his father never acknowledged him like he did Itachi and his brother wouldn't help him train in nner to Jutsu because he was too young we had to Jutsu spars today Tuan fugaku merely grunted to signal that he had heard did anything of note happen was the next question said in the same kind of voice as the last one I was beaten in a spar Sask forced out he had always strived to be acknowledged by his father how could he do that if some Academy student beat him so handily instead of replying immediately yaku simply looked up and watched Sasuke weighing his worth after moments of tense silence he spoke up who was it that beat you send you Naruto to San Sask bit out admitting to being defeated in front of his father almost physically pained Sask but he couldn't lie to him either once again fugaku didn't reply in words immediately releasing a sigh fugaku looked back at his work before waving his hand to signal that sasu could leave when Sask was closing the shiai doors After exiting the room he could hear his father Umble something why couldn't you be more like Itachi after closing his door with a look of pure anger plastered on his face Sask left the house to deal with this problem the senu wouldn't get away with this Naruto had been looking through he libraries records on the caubi attack for a while now most were very vague and only spoke of the heroic sacrifice of the yande Hokage the so-called strongest Hokage nuto didn't particularly care for those since most of them exaggerated to a high degree and didn't contain much useful information one thing mentioned in every record of event was that the caoi was supposedly killed by the yande Hokage for some secret Jutsu that was what actually held nut's attention the most the only records containing information about the B were either from the shaame or nid a Hokage themselves but only dealt with the capture of the creatures by the shaame and the ensuing distribution of the bigu between the villages he couldn't be sure if there were more records since he had obviously not read through the whole senju library but the few that he had found spoke of the bigu in a very vague manner as much information as he was still missing he had still come to the conclusion that killing a BIDU should be impossible they were literally chakra you can't kill chakra only seal it so there should actually be a ginu of the caoi in the village but he had found no record of one maybe the yand Dame really had done it then but that just couldn't be the case even the most advanced of Jutsu were still bound to some fundamental rules concerning chakra So what had really happened well thinking about this Naruto realized that it was getting late and that he should be on his way home soon putting back all of the books he had studied Naruto left the library so should we just rough him up a bit or maybe scare him using jinjutsu asked one of the two AA waiting for Naruto and one of the alley not far from the library it hadn't been hard for them to locate the sju once it had been confirmed that he was not at the sju compound letun just use jinjutsu if we hurt him physically it is way easier to trace back since he could identify us answer his fellow CH the both of them were tune in levela and part of the police force since the senju boy was only a first year in the academy it would be easy easy for them to make an impression and leave without him being able to follow their movements or counteract them in any way even if he was a prodigy moments later Naruto entered the alley that the two AA were waiting in the both of them were hiding and since Naruto wasn't on guard or suspecting anything he stood no chance to notice or evade the attack from behind two arms appeared around him from behind and held his face to the front with enough strength that he couldn't move his head or look at the one attacking him a second later a second figure appeared before him leaned down to eye level and looked into his eye the wasn't ready for the eyes of his attacker to suddenly turn red with two spinning tommo in them before Naro could even open his mouth to Signal somebody that he needed help his vision turn black Itachi was once again on for the sere he actually rather liked the boy he was the same age as his own little brother Sask and had a very inquisitive mind most of the time the boy was either found reading or training and Itachi had helped him out a few times in his training he only corrected mistakes and didn't actually teach nuto things that the boy wasn't already trying to do himself self he only helped him accomplish those when the boy had started asking him questions even though always ninja related ones Itachi had been somewhat surprised well the boy wasn't closed off or shy in any way he was rather quiet by nature and most of the time he only thanked him for his help over the months Itachi had become somewhat fond of the senju boy though he would never admit that in front of shisui his friend would hold him to it for years if he knew training a young and untrained person in such a way was rather nice and Itachi felt rather proud when nuto got the things was trying to learn very fast through asking the right questions Bachi could train his little brother just as well he just couldn't bring himself to expose his brother to the Shinobi world this early it may sound hypocritical but knew that nuto would need all the training he could get since he was basically the last sju excluding tunate of the sanon and didn't have a clan to look after him unlike Sask when he had seen Sask being so soundly beaten by Naruto today he hadn't been very surprised well his brother's tactic of using an explosive opening to catch his opponent of guard wasn't fundamentally bad it would never work against an opponent that was either simply better than him or was already anticipating this this time both had been the case Naruto had obviously observed Sask during the other spars in the academy and had made note of the reoccurring pattern that Sask followed with that information and the fact that Sask wasn't faster than nuto it had been rather easy to Simply avoid the opening hit and retaliate accordingly it had really shown that saso didn't truly understand the style he was using the Interceptor style of the AA Clan was a defensive style that relied on the sharingan's ability to predict movements to a high degree since asuk didn't have his Sharingan yet and used the style in a wrong way it had been rather obvious who would win from the start Itachi had also made note of his brother's anger after The Spar while Naruto hadn't seemed to care that sasukes Pride had been greatly hurt it was still a matter that had to be addressed at some point when he had followed Nudo to the library after the academy Itachi had first not known what exactly Naruto was doing there well the public library was certainly extensive it was in no way comparable to The Treasure of knowledge that was housed in the senju or even the AA libraries that ad meant that he was searching for something that could not be found in the senju library it had been become obvious rather fast that nuto was researching the caoi incident why exactly Itachi didn't know but he was sure that Naruto would ask him about it when he had any further questions right now Itachi was waiting on a rooftop not far from the alley that Naruto had just entered while he had seen toe members of the police force enter the alley not too long ago he wasn't worried or anything it was their job to patrol the village and make sure that order was maintained and it was certainly not suspicious for them to be using a rather dark alley to get to one of the populated parts of koha during this hour well they could simply roof hop through the village there really wasn't any need to but Naruto had not exited the alley after 3 minutes though Itachi was beginning to become suspicious Naruto shouldn't need longer than half a minute even if he was walking slowly he may have been questioned by the Tua but even then those interrogations were kept rather short and he shouldn't have taken more than 2 minutes even if he was stopped jumping to the roof of one of the houses next to the alley Itachi saw Nudo being held by one of the two AA well the other one was staring into his face Naruto looked like he was out of it since he sagged in the arms of the AA that was holding his body Itachi's eyes narrowed the second before he leapt into the alley Landing without a sound he snuck up on the a looking nuto in the eyes and knocked him out with a quick shop to the neck from behind before His companion had fully realized that something was a Miss Itachi was already behind him and had knocked him out before Naruto could fall to the ground Itachi had caught him and checked what exactly the problem was he suspected that one of the two AA the one in front of Naruto had been using his Sharingan to cast a jinjutsu on Naruto and that idea was proven correct when he used a basic diagnostic Jutsu on Naruto every Ambu operative was required to learn the basics of iryu Jutsu and detected the foreign chakra in his system laying one of his hands on nuto should well he formed a half Ram seal with his other hand Itachi closed his eyes for a second to focus his chakra before for dispelling the jinjutsu laying on nuto with a quick shout of Kai dot the difference while not outwardly visible was apparent to Itachi after doing another check on Naruto the jinjutsu was lifted but Naruto was still out of it and in a dreamlike state it seemed that whatever had been shown to him through that jinjutsu had shut down his body soon after it was placed that didn't mean that Naruto had only seen a glimpse of the jinjutsu though the brain which was the part of the body targeted by jinjutsu worked much faster than the rest of the body that meant that the more proficient the caster and the stronger the jinjutsu the longer the target was trapped in the illusion well the AA that had casted the Jutsu didn't even have a fully developed Sharingan that didn't mean that his jinjutsu were necessarily weak they could be broken much easier though but nuto having no experience in Breaking jinjutsu couldn't do it himself that easily after depositing nuto in his room in the senju compound via Crow shanin atachi once again appeared in the alley to deal with his two clansmen immediately after opening his eyes Naruto shot up from his laying position looking every everywhere around him with panic visible in his eyes nuto only slightly relaxed when he realized that he was in his room in the sjuk compound calming his erratic heartbeat slightly Naruto laid down again to try and remember what had happened shortly after entering the alley two arms had held him from behind before those eyes had appeared before him those damn red eyes with the black tommo he knew what they were obviously the Sharingan of the AA Clan he had read all about it in the senu library why had they done it though weren't they of the same Village they should be allies right the four Narutos thought could go down a dark path an amboo agent appeared next to him in a murder of crows when he got a better look at the amboo he realized that it was the same uo that been helping him train for many months now I see you are up Naruto came the somewhat monotone voice hearing this Naruto realized that it had probably been kurasu Crow who had brought him here yes kurasu but what happened there answered Naruto well it was obvious to Naruto now that a jinjutsu had been casted on him he didn't know why why was he attacked by a Kohan ninja no less he knew that the AA and senju had never been friends exactly but had that really been the reason simply his affiliation with a certain Clan he were ambushed by two members of the AA Clan when I noticed it I knocked both of them out and released the jinjutsu I then brought you here and dealt with them answered Itachi in the same monotone voice as before he had been somewhat ashamed to find out that two of his clansmen had attacked nuto and then there was the fact that his brother had been the one to coax them into doing so well he wouldn't tell the last part to Naro it was still saddening to know that sass would so easily seek revenge only because he lost a spar and the academy no less why what did I do is it really just because I aju is that all the reason they need to attack a fellow citizen of koha asked nuto with bits of hate seeping in his voice the slight growl from the back of his throat didn't help to make nuto sound more peaceful Itachi could understand nutk anger to Simply attack because of the others affiliation to a certain Clan was petty if nothing else and didn't help in the grand scheme of things in War what did it matter what Clan you belonged to even in peace were the bonds that formed koha really so shallow that they could be overlooked only because one party lost a spar if that was enough reason to attack a citizen of your own village then what did it need to make you attack a person not from koha but Itachi also knew that he couldn't let nuto go down that path of hate he had to stop him from just hating the AA as a whole because two members were easily swayed if you could only see the bigger picture and ignored every single individual your actions could be easily manipulated with people like danzo and the Village Itachi couldn't let that happen nuto I know you are angry at the AA Clan but I want you to understand that not the whole clan is at fault here you can't take those two as a representation of the whole clan if you think that way you only narrow your mind said Itachi in a lecturing but still monotone tone when he saw nuto looking not completely convinced Itachi made a decision taking of his mask Itachi closed his eyes before opening them to show his fully matured Sharingan I maachi I hope you can forgive my clansmen for their foolish actions the the essentials for Shinobi deception and information one of the things that every Shinobi has to be aware of is that information is probably the most important Advantage one can have because of this deceiving the enemy is very important to be successful as a Shinobi if an enemy Shinobi cannot make accurate assumptions of the strengths and weaknesses of a single Shinobi or a whole village they will be more likely to reconsider attacking or they may underestimate the enemy if no reliable information can be gathered attacks cannot be sufficiently planned which lowers the chance of success most leaders will shy away from attacking a village whose strengths and weaknesses they do not know for certain because of this Shinobi should give away the lowest amount of information that they can at first glance if it can be immediately determined that your enemy is a jinjutsu specialist you will look for close combat through T Jutsu or the usage of weapons if the enemy is clearly a specialist in t Jutsu you will know to keep your distance and weaken them with ranged attacks appear weak where you are strong slow where you are fast and uninformed where you have the most knowledge talking between enemies should not have happen if not necessary an intelligent Shinobi can ask seemingly harmless questions to gain crucial information this essential concept of the shobi lifestyle should be applied as often as possible in the perfect scenario the Shinobi has perfect information on everything for the mission he is assigned it's best to get as close as possible to the state the less information is provided or can be gathered the lower are the chances of survival for the Shinobi and for the success of the mission then this perfect scenarion needless bloodshot can be avoided and the Shinobi can simply do his mission since this is basically never the case of Shinobi has to be able to deal with new information and with the possibility that information is false there is nothing more deadly for a Shinobi than false information expressing emotion can be deadly while fighting a riled up or angry Shinobi is more prone to making mistakes when an enemy is able to find out which things make you angry or unfocused he is much more likely to win since he can use these things to his advantage that is not to say that a Shinobi should not have emotions when dealing with clients especially civilians it is important to appear like any other person would it is bad for business if the client is already unnerved by the stare or expressionless face of the Shinobi that he is employing or asking to take his mission that is the reason that emotions should be hidden while fighting or when among other Shinobi but have to be visible when among civilians or clients so as to not scare them off making business harder this is certainly one of if not the hardest challenge for every Shinobi well it is not necessary to be able to hide one's emotions in battle to be a good Shinobi it is certain helpful to deny the enemy information in the end every Shinobi should try to give away as little as possible while learning as much about the enemy as possible Shinobi use everything they can to win they are not Samurai that have to comply with Honor Code are you sure about this Naruto was the question stated by the sand a when he had finished listening to the boy explain what he wanted he knew that Naruto was far ahead of his classmates in the academy and there shouldn't be any problems with him graduating early but he still didn't like it as a Sur good grandfather all those that graduated ated early did basically always go on to become exceptional Shinobi like hadak Kakashi or even the boys and buard Chachi they were always rather awkward socially while not noticeable with Itachi since he was currently in U and still had a big clan to interact with Kakashi had been a different story his environment was much more comparable to nut's with no living parents or other relatives in the village the boy had his only social interaction when he was with his team and even then it had been as low as possible and then he had even joined Ambu it was rather likely that Naro would end up in a similar situation if he should graduate now and from the perspective of a cage that would be bad as swell as the senu a the boy would need to be presentable to the public and a socially awkward Clan header Heir wouldn't help business at all keeping him in the academy wasn't really a good option either if nuto would stay in the academy his growth would unrefuted be stunted it was simply not a good idea to not let the boy Embrace his potential as the saner and one of the last two of the clan he was expected to be strong from a military perspective Naruto ALS also needed to be ready since he was the genturi of koha while no one expect for himself knew who exactly the caoi was sealed in it was a fact that they needed nuto as a ginu Riki as much as serat toi wished it to be different the boy would be a weapon of mass destruction when he was old enough even if he never would have to be used as a weapon in his lifetime he was at the very least a deterrent the other hidden Villages would think twice about attacking koha when it was obvious that they held the container of the caoi even if it wasn't known who that container was so should he Grant the boys request with all its risks or condemned to boy to suffer through more years in the academy meanwhile stunting his growth as a ninja of koha just so he would have Bonds in the village and was stable emotionally while the sandan was thinking this over the one over occupant of the room beside Naruto included himself into the conversation by stepping next to the Hokage and whispering in his ear okama if I may voice my suggestion why not let Naruto sand train outside of the academy for the next years and then let him graduate together with his age group so that his time as part of a team will be guaranteed in the desired way hearing this suggestion serat toi decided what to do while not entirely in line with common practice it was certainly not outrageous enough an idea for it to Garner any attention in the public well koha was a military dictatorship lead by him he couldn't just openly do what he wanted either the village was largely dependent on the funding it received from the fire Dao and the businesses that were owned by civilians in the village without those factors koha wouldn't survive very long economically so things that were visible to the public had to be conformed with Norms to go through without a hitch very well following kurasu suggestion I will grant your request of leaving the academy however you will not be able to actually graduate into your current class graduates that means that you may train until then however you want since you won't be supplied with a tutor you are free to search for a teacher yourself you will also be able to visit the section of the public library open to jenin since your graduating is technically only delayed though I'm sure that most of the things that you will need for training can be found in the sju compound after having said his peace the sand a sent the two out before resuming his work nuto hadn't anticipated this outcome when he had chosen to learn the academy to Jutsu style well it was certainly a good base to Branch out to a more fitting style and was especially good for the civilians in the academy since they didn't have access to any family or Clan Styles like the children that came from a Shinobi background right now it was only giving him problems at the moment he was trying to learn those codes of the senju Clans to justu style that he hadn't learned yet and that was where his problem originated some the codas obviously had somewhat similar movements to the academy style that meant that his body was reflexively moving in a way he didn't want it to which is why he was focusing on forgetting those reflexes so that he would be able to use the senju style to its full strength once he mastered it this was a relatively slow process though since he couldn't just force his body to forget those memorized movements it came with time deciding to take a break since he had been training for a good two hours now Naruto showered and changed his clothes into something more casual than his training clothes having changed Naruto decided to simply walk through the village and let his mind wander a bit it was kind of relaxing to simply walk without a real goal in mind Naruto was able to focus on the beauty that was koha while walking through the streets in fire country the weather was always rather warm so it was rather comfortable all year round after a bit of walking Nudo stopped and focused on his surroundings he had heard something that sounded somewhat familiar looking around Naruto found himself in a park close to one of the training grounds curiosity getting the better of him nuto decided to investigate the noise walking into the training ground nuto saw that the only occupant was a boy that seemed to be about his age maybe a little older the boy was obviously training into justu since he was repeatedly going through the same motions well he wasn't exactly sure what style the person was using it was somewhat familiar to him after taking some more steps in the boy's Direction Naruto grabbed the boy's attention by clearing his throat loudly to Signal his presence after going through the same motions two more times each time slower than before before the boy took a drink from a can after gulping down a good amount the boy ceased his drinking and turned in nut's Direction the first thing that became a parent was the boy's Heritage The Telltale white pupil of the hauga Byakugan looked back at him when he looked at the boy seeing that the boy was also suddenly trying to study him Naruto decided to start a conversation excuse me for interrupting your training hugasan I simply heard the sounds of your training and came to see what was going on I didn't expect to meet someone my age training out here it is no problem SJ youan concerning the matter of me training here I simply wish to practice my T Jutsu in the quiet atmosphere of one of the more unused training grounds it helps me focus on the task at hand since it isn't as crowded as the grounds in the hauga compound asward the boy in a polite but not overly friendly tone Bal listening to the boy Naruto took a more careful look at the boy's appearance the long brown hair tied into a low ponytail seemed familiar though nuto couldn't really place the memory then there was the matter of his forehead though it could just be a coincidental head injury it was much more likely that the bandages were used to cover the Cage Bird seal that was most likely present on his forehead while he had never seen the seal on a person he had read about it in Scrolls and books about the hyuga clan well he had no problem with the idea of having two houses one main and one branch the idea of branding the branch house with marks that could be used to inflict pain in large quantities was rather sickening if that is the case Would it inconvenience you if I trained here as well I won't disturb you if you are worried about that and I simply want to have the chance The Spar should the need arise and the same chance would present itself to you as well asked Naruto in a tone that had the slightest tense of Hope in it that wasn't that he craved to have friends but he wanted to interact with someone his age that was dedicated to his lifestyle as a Shinobi and took that profession seriously basically the only one in his Academy class that had fit that category was Sask and that boy had an ego problem so big it was visible a mile away really the rest of the class even the clan heirs which had made up a good amount of the class had dreamed of a life filled with glor when they became Shinobi and the teachers didn't seem inclined to correct them it really was sad most of them would understand the reality behind their profession on their first real Mission or when they were forced to kill the first time initially niiji had thought that the sju would simply leave after he had heard his answer but he hadn't anticipated the boy to express the wish to train with him there really was no reason to decline he didn't have anything against the senu personally and he had made a good point to just who was best practiced as a pair the other could spot mistakes from an outsider perspective and sparing was a good method to make the stiff movements that were the result of learning codas into something more suited for actual battle so it really was a offer that had no apparent downsides for niji but still he hesitated should he really put his hope into this boy a year younger than him what if the senu a ended up a failure and just dragged him down was it worth taking the chance it really shouldn't be such a hard decision to make if he couldn't take any risks he wouldn't be able to accomplish anything as a Shinobi so with a madeup mind nii made his decision you n there is a good chance that sparring or training with you could improve my own skills so I will take that chance and Juan however I will have to leave for today after all I have a curfew to meet the last part was said with the smallest amounts of bitterness creeping into his tone before nii could suppress them B Naruto picked up on it he didn't comment it wasn't his place to intrude on somebody's personal business especially when he had literally just met the person he had a theory anyway the boy status as a branch member of the hauga clan meant that he had more regulation and rules placed on him than a member of the main house at such a young age there also may be the chance that he had to receive some kind of education in the clan how a branch member is to better serve the main house but that was just Naruto's imagination going wild after a quick goodbye niiji left the training ground to return to the hyuga clan compound since I'm already here might as well get some training and H was the last thought before Naruto started some lighter exercises in the vacated training ground I'm on nuto you can do better than that taunted nii from opposite his opponent right now the two boys were involved in a strictly to Jutsu Spar well niiji and nuto both knew that this handicapped nuto more than it did nii they had both agreed to go through with this this way they would both improve that much faster the taunting had an entirely different reason the two of them had not only trained together since that day two months ago they had also shared thoughts and ideas one of those was the idea that a Shinobi had to remain C in battle to not lose his advantage or get even further disadvantaged because of this they had decided to taunt each other while sparring this not only trained them to ignore such outbursts it always gave them a better ability to focus on more than a single thing talking while fighting meant that they had to focus on correctly executing their T Jutsu style otherwise they would get defeated very fast and also maintaining a reasonable discussion sometimes that meant actually discussing theories or knowledge while fighting other times it meant simple taunting like in this instance betting up from the ground Naro dusted of his slightly dirty training clothes while thinking of a way to beat niji his friend was better at pure to Jutsu the hyuga clan and their Jin were feared for a reason and niji was very proficient at the style normally he would probably be hailed as the genius of the hyuga clan but he had started to hide some of his capabilities after Naruto had advised to do so and his status as a branch House member certainly didn't help in getting prestige in the clan so how to beat him since he was restricted to using only T Jutsu himself he couldn't simply use Jutsu while cheating was part of being a Shinobi in this case it wouldn't help him since he wanted to improve be proficient even if he was not able to use Jutsu B strategy would also be rather hard since niji could see all of his surroundings so what to do deciding on a plan of action nuto got into his stance for a few seconds niji and Naruto simply watched each other waiting for one to make the first move waiting for anything that could give them an advantage after 10 seconds of waiting Nudo took the initiative with a burst of chakra enhanced Speedy shot towards nii at a velocity that to a civilians would be simply a blur to a Shinobi though it was basically the usual ual speed used in battle since the chakra being present in the body enhanced them sukul Shinobi could gain more speed strength and endurance than the civilian that had no access to their chakra could ever hope to B niiji saw Naruto dashing towards him he suddenly lowered his center of gravity and widened his stance slightly so as to prepare for nutk attack while he was Stronger that didn't mean that he could be careless against Naruto when nuto was close to colliding with nii he initiated with an open Palm strike towards the gut that was immediately swept aside by niiji keeping his slight slowed momentum Naro moved with a flow and moved slightly behind nii to spin around and hit him with a kick to the side nii blocking the kick was somewhat surprised by the strength behind the attack and was pushed away from nuto a bit stopping his backwards movement niiji hit side with an open Palm Nudo loosing his balance had to jump into the air slightly before landing a bit further away since he had spent some time in the air though niiji was able to move towards his position but Naruto landed he used a quick backward somersault to gain some distance from nii when niiji was about to continue his assault the both of them noticed that another person had entered the training ground immediately getting completely serious the two assumed stances that gave them the ability to jump into action as fast as possible while looking for the person that had entered the training ground well it could just be a Koh Shinobi the person had hidden their presence very well even niji had only noticed them with his Bakugan this late since he wasn't at a point where he could keep his focus on his adversary while still maning long range observation of his surroundings nuto had noticed the third presence through a mix of his senses of smell and sound well he hadn't been able to find a reason for his weirdly enhanced senses anywhere he would use them as much as he could the Intruder had either been careless enough to make a sound while intruding or he wanted to be noticed after waiting for a bit of figure appeared from the tree line when they spotted the figure both let their aggressive stances fall niji doing so earlier than nuto since he had been able to make out the figure even before it left the cover of the trees the Pelin mask painted with the depiction of a crow sat on the face of the Ambu member entering the grounds seeing this Naruto greeted his friend Mentor in a non-personalized way while niiji and he had been friends for a bit now he couldn't simply disclose Ambu agent identities at his will the fact that he knew who the person behind that particular mask was was an exception on its own can we help you andan s youan hokama has asked that you appear before him said The Itachi in the monotone voice that was demanded of a member of Anu while on the job hearing this Naruto nodded once to relay his understanding before he took his leave to make himself presentable B niiji heard this he wasn't very surprised Naruto was the heir to the senju clan and its Only Living member currently residing in the village to boot it wasn't unheard of that the Hokage would have business to discuss with him sometimes seeing that the Ambu operative had left when he had successfully relayed his message nii decided to train for a bit before heading home why is it that you dislike hanadan to this degree though I mean from what I've seen she seems unfit to be a Shinobi since she is too nice but that is really not your reason is it nii asked Nudo with an inquisitive tone this had been something that he had been meaning to ask for a while now every time that niiji talked about the main family and especially his cousin hanada he seemed to get extremely angry well he could understand that the branch house was displeased with their position in the clan this was a tradition that had been in place for a long time before nii was born so it really was no use to get angry over it it really had to be something between nii and the main house especially otherwise it didn't make much sense well he didn't particularly like or the other members of the main Clan he hadn't interacted with any of them beside hanada but he didn't like the concept of the Cage Bird seal which was applied and used by members of the main house it seemed to be something that was holding nii back I'll tell you a story and maybe afterwards you will understand began nii he had picked up on nut's interest on the subject over the last months while nuto respected privacy and greatly valued his right of it he would carefully intrude on personal business if he couldn't understand though niiji thought that he would back off if told that is was person person Al but maybe it was a good idea to tell him at the very least he would get it off his chest and maybe Naro would have some advise his friend had the tendency to have helpful comments a bit more than four years ago may I ask a few questions asked Naruto after listening to his friend Explain the origin of his hate why is it that you specifically blame hanatan I get that the incident happened during the celebration of her birthday but the doubt that she was born really isn't her fault so why is your anger focused on her so much secondly do you blame he as shama for being the head of the clan and the main family what is it that you want them to do what you feel is in completely baseless hate but do you have a chance for them in mind to redeem themselves in your eyes were the questions put forth by Nar after listening to niji he could see why his friend was feeling the way he felt but Naruto believed that he could maybe help nii to see some of the inconsistencies that led to those feelings confronted with these questions nii really couldn't come up with reasonable replies all those that he wanted to use were immediately discarded when nii noticed that either baseless accusations or were simply untrue it seemed like large parts of the hate and anger that he harbored for the main family were much more groundless that he would like to admit just when he was about to open his mouth to reply nuto interrupted him I want you to think about those questions nii I'm not telling you to stop hating the main house or to suddenly like hanadis and or her father but try to dislike for the right reasons at the very least after saying this Naruto bid him farewell before leaving the training ground the two were once again occupying so have an affinity for three different chakra Natures but my do and Affinity is weaker than the other two asked nuto while focusing on The Battered piece of chakra paper that had formerly been between his fingers the paper was cut into four parts while three were soggy and looked like they would fall apart the last part had crumbled to dust all the implications of this were obvious Naruto wasn't sure what exactly this meant for him yes while having three nature affinities is incredibly rare it also means that you will have to invested much more time into each of the elements normally a person has one Affinity that they then learn to control however people with more than one Affinity need to be able to First distinguish between the different Natures before they can learn any of the control exercises necessary to master your element that means that when you are learning to control your Fon Affinity you will have to focus on suppressing or sorting out the others explained Itachi currently the two of them were training in the sju compound well strictly speaking Itachi was nark guard and not his teacher he had grown awfully fond of the sju a as curious as that was for in a of the stories if the Clan's legendary rivalry weren't exaggerated it had been surprising since Itachi normally clearly pulled a line between work and his private life but when he was watching over Naro that line seemed to be blurrier each day the boy was one of the few that had the right idea about what it truly meant to be a Shinobi because of this Itachi was instructing Marudo a few times a month on different subjects concerning the Shinobi life stealth Ninjutsu chakra controll or even jinjutsu Theory were exempt well laachi didn't teach the boy any Jutsu he explained the principles behind many things and help nuto refine the things that he had already learned maybe it was just the fact that Itachi saw a bit of himself in nuto the boy was mature Beyond his age and grasped the basics of everything related to Shinobi very fast he hated the term genius though people often used it for people like him or nuto so as to justify being weaker that wasn't how it worked though B lineage certainly played a part determination and the interest to learn were probably juts as important all this didn't change the fact that people like him Kakashi hadock and Udo were exceptional people were lineage thirst for knowledge and determination came together to form a brand of Shinobi that was on another level than most that is not to say that work was unnecessary it was just had to apply it in a different way on a battlefield this didn't really matter though the greatest of shenobi would still die from a simple kunai to the heart or from a broken neck in the end they were still human sometimes Itachi thought that Humanity was the only thing standing in the way of Peace he believed that it was in the very nature of humans to be angry to hate to be jealous and to generally invoke violence the very concept of Shinobi was that they were weapons meant to kill destroy and rip apart Shinobi were simply The Messengers of misery but when he thought about this he also remembered all the good that people did every day the use of chakra to heal was most likely the single use for a Shinobi that held worth in times of Peace it was also very difficult what was he supposed strive for was it the fate of humans to only St for desires that were ultimately completely selfish Bachi didn't really know but he would try his very best nonetheless he would prevent war in every way that was possible he had seen the horrors that appeared during actual war and he didn't wish that upon anyone I will be leaving the Village today Nudo and I will not come back just promise me that you will look after my brother Sask for me said Itachi who had just appeared in the senju compound he was still dressed in his Ambu Garb that was covered in blood from what he had just done in front of him Naruto had immediately realized that the situation was serious and stopped himself from asking questions instead he simply answered I promis to look after your brother in your stead Itachi leave it to me and nuto mented Itachi was one of the few people that he treasured and he would do what Itachi asked of him nuto didn't know how it felt to have family but he hoped that having an elder brother felt the same way that it did when he was with Itachi even though they talked about Shinobi related topics most of the time that wasn't important to Naruto important was that Itachi took his time and taught him whatever that may be in some way nuto felt indebted to Itachi and he would repay that debt to Itachi even though he didn't like his little brother he would look out for him as best as he could thank you nuto you truly were like a little brother to me after saying this Itachi vanished from the senju premises leaving Naruto there who had said one more thing that Itachi did not hear no I thank you Itachi n while saying those words into the night a single tear dropped from nut's eye ton dapa was the shout from nuto before A moderately strong gust of wind was released from his mouth the C rank Jutsu that nuto was learning right now was one of the more more basic futin Jutsu and Naruto had tried to get better acquainted with the feel of futin before he would try to actively Master the element one problem was that right now the Jutsu didn't really have any use in actual combat for Naruto the gust of wind wasn't strong enough to actually damage anybody so it could at most be used to push something away maybe he could use it for accelerating kunai or projectiles in general but for thaton rep was a much better alternative since it didn't waste chakra trying to directly harm the enemy like dapa was meant to do he would just have to train more it seemed he had just started learning the Jutsu after all he wanted to be able use less hand seals for the Jutsu when he would finally use it he had read that his ancestor the niame Hokage was able to use a Jutsu that normally needed 44 seals with a single one that was something that narudo admired weaving 44 different hand seals in actual Mortal Kombat was rather hard and depended greatly on your ability to distract the enemy or required for a teammate to be a distraction then there was the fact that simply blowing out a crushing gust of wind with a single-hand seal would certainly suprise enemies which may give him the edge in a fight but until he would be able to do it that way many hours would be spent training he had to do it though he had to get strong not only to keep his promise to Itachi but also to become a sju that his ancestors could be proud of as someone who never knew his parents it was incredibly important to him to become somebody that he believed his family could have been proud of as proud as you could be of a shenobi somebody who killed lied and stealed for a living at least the creation of Jutsu Ninjutsu B talking about the creation of Jutsu one has to distinguish between the creation of ninjutsu jinju and the creation of styles for T Jutsu or the use of weapons this volume will focus on the creation of ninjutsu many decide to develop their own techniques when they have assimilated enough experiences with chakra to fit their own tastes better for this they have to give the chakra shape and most of the time also element the elemental manipulation is done by making your chakra imitate the actual element since it's only in imitation chakra based Natures will always be weaker than the actual phenomenon which is especially important for rate and manipulation actual lightning is much faster and stronger than chakra based lightning which is why masters of raen have tried to harness actual lightning for a long time giving the chakra a certain shape is done by forcing the chakra into that shape through chakra control the better the control the faster The Wanted shape can be formed and the easier it is to maintain usually the job of giving shape and element to the chakra is done by the use of hand seals they move chakra in a certain way however for this the actual sequence and the seals themselves are important this makes the practice of using less than intended hand seals to use a Jutsu much harder than what may be assumed initially nobody should attempt to shorten the sequence without knowledge of the meaning behind every seal and their relation to the other parts of the sequence similarly is the case with the use of the name calling out the name of the used technique is extremely counterproductive to stealth however lowering the volume or simply voicing the name in one's head can accomplish the same effects with suan training at the end the only thing that is needed was an idea that idea is then made a reality by using a lot of time and lot of chakra at this point it still isn't important how much chakra the Jutsu takes the amount can be refined at a later point when the Jutsu has been accomplished through control alone one can set to giving the technique the necessary hand seals for this extensive knowledge in fuinjutsu is required while the master of fuinjutsu is able to find the most effective sequence that isn't necessary if a person like that isn't available this can be done through trial and error for lower amounts of seals since the basic meaning of the seals isn't a very complicated subject when the Jutsu has the right amount of hand seals the control isn't as much of a problem anymore since the seals do a lot of the work in that department however if one uses this method of creating Jutsu the process of mastering them man the users chakra control become much better in a short amount of time visualizing the Jutsu is generally a good idea that can help form the Jutsu for the first time since the chakra has to be forced to move in the way the user wants it to it's better to have a clear depiction of what you want to create before starting this way less chakra and time is wasted on unsuccessful attempts walking into the academy nuto remembered as one and only year that he had spent being taught in the facility he did have some fond memories of this place but it really didn't hold any sentimental value to him when he had been a student here he had basically spend all his time and effort on learning as much as possible why exactly he couldn't say but he had a thirst for knowledge that had been even stronger 6 years ago having been taught many different things by many different people over the years that he spent outside the academy he thought that it probably had to do with the fact books had always held a special value for him when he had gotten any presence it had almost always been books and almost everything that he knew had been learned from books well practical application had been explained to him by different people over the years basically all of his theoretical knowledge came from books however there was more to it than that growing up without parents meant growing up with less guidance well the people from The Orphanage or the Hokage had shown him many things books had been somewhat of a constant in his life were it books on the theory of chakra are simply fairy tales books had always accompanied him books couldn't pester him or try to influence him they didn't want his political power or the wealth of his clan books didn't want anything from him they were simply there to be read arudo greatly appreciated that as the heir to the sju clan the time that he had for himself was rather limited be it either political meetings training or simply fear andly chats it didn't matter somehow Naro felt like he did most of that only out of a sense of obligation not because he wanted to sure he enjoyed speaking to his friends as few in number as they were but the training and political meetings deep down felt to Naruto like something that was not himself why did he train to get stronger obviously but why did he do that what was his purpose in getting stronger when Naruto thought about this he most of the time came to the conclusion that he did so because he had to he was the heir to the senu clan and he wanted to show the world that he deserved that title but why did he want that it wasn't that he was insecure or anything but nuto believed that becoming stronger simply to prove something wasn't any good what he really lacked was a real purpose this train of thought had been plaguing his mind for a while now in the end the only thing he could do was push the thought to the back of mind and focus on the Here and Now team placements that was the reason that he was even here his age group had passed their exam and he was to be placed on a team with them reaching the classroom that he had been told to meet his peers at Naro raised his hand and knocked on the door three times before sliding the door open what greeted nuto really was not what he had been expecting chaos was probably the best word to desra what Naro was seeing in the room that he had just entered people were shouting running through the room and generally behaving like complete children now nuto knew that he and the other people in the room were barely in their teens but they were considered adults by the law when they became Shinobi at the very least Naruto had expected some semblance of discipline looking at the different people sitting or standing in the room Naruto recognized a few narish shikimo was seated at one of the desks with his head laying on the desk probably sleeping Naruto thought he really shal have expected that while Naruto didn't know Shikamaru as well as he did niiji he would still consider the two of them friends so Naruto was already accustomed to the mannerisms of the lazy Nara next to the sleeping boy sat his everpresent sidekick akamichi choji happily munching on chips Naruto didn't know the boy very well since he had only met Shikamaru by sheer coincidence when he had visited the Nara compound once since he enjoyed talking to shikimaru and his father and the quiet atmosphere of the Nara compound was very calming he had visited rather frequently after the first time well Choi visited his friend's home very often they had never been able o interact much with each other so he really didn't know much about the boy except that he was rather peaceful and like basically every akimi loved food and eating most of the others nuto didn't recognized while he walked towards one of the free seats at the back of the class when he got to the row closest to the back he saw one other face that he recognized the dark hair the slightly pale complexion and the cold black eyes of the boy were a dead giveaway towards his identity the chass suuk was sitting in the corner most seat of the class while looking out of the window impassively while still maintaining a brooding appearance Naruto didn't know Sask well however that didn't really matter what did matter was the promise he had made to Itachi on that night he had promised to keep an eye out for Sask and he intended to keep that promise to the best of his abilities walking up the aisle Nudo seated himself AOW behind shikimaru while nodding and greeting aoi when he passed him looking around nuto looked at the other occupants of the room some of civilians background others the descendants of one of koha's Clans all of them could potentially be his comrades soon nuto knew of the second test that every jonan was to condone once the teams were selected so he was well aware of the fact that not everyone in this room would soon be going on potentially dangerous missions Naruto could see that not all of them were ready well he didn't know how much exactly a genen and fresh out of the academy should be able to accomplish he knew for a fact that some of the people in this room weren't cut out for the life of a Shinobi but all of them had the innocence in their eyes that he probably had a swell and that was expected of someone their age the question was who of the ones in this room would be able to let that innocence go and become a true Shinobi Shinobi were expected to kill bribe and lie for a living they were the weapons of the village supposed to put the future of the village before their own desires and wishes that was the Cold Heart truth of the matter and nuto knew that in theory that is he really wasn't sure how he would deal with his chosen lifestyle he had never taken the life of another human just like probably everyone else in the room he had never seen a comrade die in front of him our scene has loved ones ripped away from him one person that was in the room with him right now though had atlast felt one of those things Naruto wouldn't claim that he could empathize with saso he had never known his parents or any other family so he couldn't imagine what it would feel like to have that precious bond be ripped apart by your own brother no less it really was horrible to imagine something like that happening nut's musings were interrupted by the door of the room opening entering the room was a rather young man dressed in traditional tune and Garb the brown-haired man had a scar running horizontally across the bridge of his nose and was carrying some documents with him the instructor ha Naruto observed as the man walked to the front of the room and cleared his throat once while some students crambled for their seats others didn't seem to have noticed the appearance of the man and were continuing their actions a second louder clearing of throat reached even those ears and they turned around just the slightest bit scared before they also scrambled for their seats seemingly satisfied the young man took the papers that he had placed on the desk next Autumn before and held them up so they were visible to everyone but so that no one could read them in my hand I hold the placements of each of you in the class ranking your exam scores and the different grades you gathered in your years at this Academy have been put together to form your final score this has an impact on the way you are placed on a team when the man finished his sentence murmurs erupted in the class but a farce Naruto scoffed inwardly when he heard that as much as the students were led to believe this their scores had nothing to do with their team placement that was decided entirely by the Council of koha and the Hokage well it was sometimes used to motivate students to do better or try harder during the academy years in the end it simply wasn't true nuto could pick up the exited Whispers of some students who thought that they would totally get on a great team because of their awesome scores While others were nervously speaking about the possibility of their scores being too low after hearing those Whispers nuto tried to tune them out as best as possible while focusing back on the instructor the man seemed to be giving the student some time before he once again got their attention with accentuated clearing of the throat when the class had quieted down again aruka continued by presenting the ones placed at the very top to them the Rookie of the Year is a chasuk with constantly high scores throughout the years and the second best result for the genine exam of his age group you can be proud sasu Kung aruka said well smilling broadly and clapping lightly after finishing his sentence the whole class clapped loudly while some were more restrained than others most of the females of the class seemed almost ecstatic when they heard who was placed first from all of them some of the quicker ones were a bit confused why sasu didn't have the best results on the exam and Naruto could see that Sask had picked up on that fact as well deciding to Simply stay in the background Naruto ceased his polite clapping and tried to not be noticed before anybody could ask any questions aruka continued with the kenoi of the year the konachi of this year is hero Sakura with a nearly perfect score in theory Sakura had one of the best exam results but her grades throughout the years were the main cause for her placement as top of the class however I'm very proud of you too congratulations once again everyone started clapping more or less dignified unlike sasu who had simply remained silent Naruto bore witnessed to quite a different reaction from Sakura jumping up from her seat Sakura loudly whooped in joy and after that started pointing at a platinum blonde girl that had seated herself on the other side of Shikamaru before shouting at the top of her lungs that this proved who was better once and for all nuto had a hard time holding back the urge to openly Express his exasperation instead he only discreetly rolled his eyes and ignored the rest of the cheering was this some kind of kinder Garten that kind of celebration for simply graduating as the top kinoi really wasn't appropriate when Sakura had finally calmed down and seated HFF again aruka continued his speech now that that is out of the way let's continue with the team placement yes kba what is it seeing the normally disruptive boy raising his arm to ask a question heruka was just a bit surprised since kibba normally simply shouted out his questions or comments it was interesting to see him seemingly behave for once deciding they allow him to ask his question and then continue after answering aruka addressed Kiba that bit of time lost really wouldn't make a difference so if SAS didn't get the highest exam score who did it has to be me right asked kibba while ending on a rather cocky note Naruto really shouldn't have been surprised by the last remark members of the inuzuka clan were known to be rather arrogant or cocky especially the males well Kiba the highest score wasn't earned by you it was actually earned by senju nuto who graduated after his first year but will be placed on teams with you since the Hokage decided that in times of Peace early graduation like that wasn't necessary when aruka finished his sentence All Eyes searched the room for the individual that was new amongst them spotting the white-haired boy the eyes of almost all the students turned to him one after another not sure how to react Nudo simply stood up and decided to introduce himself formally walking to the front All Eyes followed him as he walked down the steps when nuto arrived at the front who stood next to aruka and looked at his peers not letting anything show on his face Naruto simpley introduced himself I'm send you nuto and it is a pleasure to meet you all I hope that we will be effective comrade soon bound once Naruto walked up the steps again and seated himself when the others noticed that he wouldn't been adding anything else they turned their attention back to the front of the class when aruka saw everyone looking at him expectedly he called out the makeup of the different teams starting with Team One while Nudo was listening he felt eyes on him and he discreetly checked his surroundings to find out who was watching him it wasn't long before nuto noticed a chasu glancing at him from the corner of his eyes with a nasty glare Naruto didn't really know why the boy seemed to have a problem with him but decided to Simply ignore it for now it wasn't likely for them to be on the same team anyways so nuto wouldn't see much of the boy well with his team just when nuto thought that iruka announced the members of Team seven team 7 Sensei is had a Kakashi the members of the team are in yuzuka Kiba hero Sakura here the announcement was interrupted by Sakura groaning loudly in what seemed to be annoyance before she could voice any protest aruka continued with the final member and chasuk once again Sakura interrupted aruka though in a different fashion than last time instead she jumped up from her seat T shouted at the top of her lungs that love had prevailed after all and that Eno Pig had officially lost now all in all hearing that was rather disturbing to Naruto since he didn't think that anybody could be that excited to be on a team with someone else however something else that arukaen had said surprised Naruto Kakashi is training a team H continuing when Sakura had stopped aruka proceeded with team8 team8 s will be catob auma and the members will be akimichi choji abiram Shino and yamanako finally team 10 Sensei will be yato and the members will be narish Shikamaru kurami akumo and senju Naruto that are all the teams please wait for your new Sensei to arrive and pick you up after that you Sensei will instruct you individually I wish you all the best of luck in the future having said is puka left the room as soon as the door closed the students were back to the behavior they had shown before aruka had come they were once again shouting and running through class though some were Now searching for those on their team and conversing with them since nuto only really knew one member of his team he decided to look for the third one he didn't remember anyone by the name of karami akumo being in his class but maybe she had joined after he had left deciding to look around for students who hadn't joined up with their teammates he spotted a few Shikamaru was still sitting there with his head on his arms pretending to sleep though nuto had noticed that he had in fact been aware of his surroundings the whole time next to him Choi was still sitting and munching on his chip and he didn't seem like he was about to move very soon Sask was also still sitting in his seat however Sakura and Kiba had moved towards his row and had seated themselves in the seats next to him looking through the room there was one more person still sitting in their seat and seemingly looking around for their teammates the girl had brown hair going to about the small of her back and rather pale skin she seemed to be rather physically weak which wasn't immediately a problem since if she was yukumo there was the fact that her clan was heavily dependent on jinjutsu anyway also it wasn't like a weak body couldn't be trained up in strength speed and endurance it would certainly take time and effort but it was still doable standing up and started his track towards the girl sitting in the middle row on the right side Naruto was immediately blocked by a platinum blonde girl that he could identify as yamanako is there something I can help you with yamanaka San asked nuto while raising an eyebrow in question oh I just thought that I should introduce myself to you since you are new in this class answered Eno well smiling at him nuto dead pan just slightly when he heard that and immediately answered I was in your class once yamakas and I simply left after the first year I do still remember most of you even though that could very well be taken as a sign for her to stop Eno wasn't deterred by it in the least still smiling she continued to talk to him that doesn't matter I still thought it would only be polite to once again introduce myself my name is yamanaka Ino and I'm happy to meet you deciding to Simply go along with it so that he could move on nuto answered in a similar fashion very well my name is senju Naruto and it's a pleasure to meet you slightly inclining his head nuto ended the conversation and moved past her towards who he assumed to be Karam yakumo arriving at Aon narudo opened his mouth are you by any chance kuraman when the girl heard him seemingly addressing her she turned towards him and slightly nodded before also answering yes I'm karami yakumo you are senju Naruto correct hearing her question Naruto simply nodded once and motioned towards the empty seat beside yakuma with his hand before asking if he could seat himself answering in the affirmative yukuma looked at her soon to be teammate he was rather tall for being 13 just like all the other members of the class standing at about 53 tall he had a lean build with white hair and blue eyes he was clad in a white kimono that went to about knee length and under that he had black pants faten with black medical tape at the calves instead of the normal ninja sandals that most wore her teammate was wearing tobby like sandals of black color the kimono he was wearing was held closed by a light gray sash while yakuma was looking at her teammate nuto was also taking a closer look at his only female teammate like he had seen from farther away her body seemed rather weaker physically she was wearing light pink kimono with a red mesh shirt visible under it a pink sash was fastened around her waist and she was wearing black knee length shorts with a visible kunai holster at one leg her hit ey8 was worn around her neck and two clips kept her hair out of her face when the both of them had finished their discreet observation of the other they focused their attention back onto themselves looking around nuto noticed that everyone except for Shikamaru was now with the other members of their team inwardly rolling his eyes at the behavior of the narir narudo called out to him Shikamaru would you mind coming here after all we three will soon be training and fighting together so I guess we should try to get to know each other better while Shikamaru didn't in any way indicate that he had heard nuto Naruto was almost completely sure that the boy was simply trying to avoid standing up since it was so Troublesome turning his attention to his neighbor nuto inclined his head toward Shikamaru seat and stood up to seat himself in the same row as his other teammate with a female member of the team following seating themselves on either side of Shikamaru they both fell silent yakumo because she wasn't sure if she should say anything and Naruto because he was thinking of the fastest way to get the Nara to give him their full attention before any kind of plan could be put into action the door to the classroom opened and different people who were obviously the Jon and Sensei entered Naruto didn't know any of the people that entered the room even though he had been trained by different people none of those entering right now were part of that group nevertheless some individuals Peak nut's Interest the first one to catch nut's attention was a tall bearded individual in the traditional Jon and attire of koha what caught n's attention was the sash kept at the man's waist identifying him as a former member of the shugan and jishi 12 Guardian Shinobi Nudo had heard of the group and knew that having been part of it was an obvious sign of someone being strong the second person to catch his interest was a rather plain looking man with a hurri instead of the common hit I8 wearing the normal kenoh had Jon in attire he looked like the most normal jonan of the bunch entering but that was what really made Naruto pay attention being a Jon and was a testimony to someone's skill but doing so without looking the least bit special was almost suspicious Naruto had seen many different highlevel Shinobi and koha but never one who just looks a plain and normal nuto realized that a man he had just labeled as normal and plain was his own Sensei when the man called out for team 10 to follow him to training ground 10 and then left in a basic shunin seeing this Naruto turned to his two teammates yukumo seemed ready to leave but was looking at him unsure of how to proceed exactly shikim on the other hand didn't seem like he wanted to get up anytime soon sing Naruto stood up and moved in front of both of his teammates laying a hand on on each of their shoulders Naruto almost smiled when he saw the confusion in yakumo's gaze and the slight tensing of shikamaru's muscles almost as if he knew what was going to happen recalling the location of training ground 10 Naruto used a futin shunin to move himself and the other two members of his team to where they were supposed to meet their Sensei leaving behind slightly impressed sense and surprised peers appearing and training ground t theud and his two unwilling passengers reacted quite differently to the sudden stop and movement a movement that had not exactly been slow in any regard yukumo who didn't seem to have ever experienced a shunin immediately reacted the way that basically everyone did when first traveling in a shunin without being prepared falling to the ground yakumo held her stomach and tried to stop herself from hurling meanwhile Shikamaru also fell to the ground but he kept himself supported with his arm behind his back with a slightly disgruntled expression on his face shikima made it obvious that that he didn't really appreciate it being transported like that but he also showed nuto that he had already traveled in such a way before which was to be expected from the son of the jonan commander Naruto himself had reacted similarly to yukumo when he had first traveled by shanin at the time Itachi had told him they would have to meet the Hokage and had simply put a hand on his shoulder before they had appeared in the office of the sand a after that Naruto had felt nausea when even thinking about traveling at such speed again but had gradually build up a resistance to the effects of clearing such a distance in short amount of time after enjoying the reactions of his teammates for a bit longer nuto focused his attention on the only other person present in the training ground scrutinizing the person before him Naruto couldn't help but feel like he was familiar with the person standing before him all the outward appearance of his Sensei wasn't giving away much the chakra of the person before nuto was something he thought he should be able to place Naruto wouldn't claim that he was the best at sensing chakra he was certain that even his minor sensing abilities were enough to discern that he knew the person that was to be his sensei say well he would simply have to ask after they had done what they had come here to do seeing that he had the attention of all three students standing before him yumato decided to begin welcome team 10 I think we will start with introductions before starting with our schedule for today I will begin and then you will proceed to introduce yourselves my name is yumato I like architecture and forests and I dislike disrespect and laziness Here Naruto could see his Sensei not so suddenly looking at Shikamaru my hobbies include gardening and training by my dream is to be respected in the village and to serve koha to the best of my abilities seeing that his teammates weren't to keen on taking the initiative Naruto decided to start my name is Sanju Naruto I like ice forests animals and training my dislikes include arrogance overconfidence and ignorance my hobbies are training and reading my dream is to enter U after finishing nuto looked towards his teammates to see who would continue after a bit of Silence yakumo cleared her throat before starting my name is kuram yakumo my likes are drawing and jinjutsu my dislikes are the feeling of losing control and people who betray their own family my hobbies are drawing and practicing jinjutsu my dream is to master my Clan's K Jenai and to maybe become part of the Intelligence Division of koha after finishing yakuma look towards the only possible that had yet to introduce themselves after a minute of being stared at by his two teammates and his new Sensei Shikamaru side once before starting with his introduction my name is shikim marinara my likes are sleeping shogi and my friends my likes are Troublesome people and things that interrupt me while sleeping my hobbies are sleeping and watching clouds my dream is to become an average shobi so that I have enough time to watch the clouds having finished his introduction Shikamaru seated himself on the ground probably because standing was too Troublesome Naruto could only shake his head when hearing this he had never met a person as lazy as the young Nara a even for Nara standards he was a lazy one and that said something since everybody had finished introducing themselves yumato decided to continue now that we know each other a bit better it is time to start with the reason that we are even here you see well you may have passed a genine exam in the academy that doesn't actually make you a genine it only qualifies you to become one to actually become a gen in each cell will have to pass the test that their Sensei provides them with in this regard the senses have a high amount of freedom in choosing how to test the team that they are presented with so we will now have to see if you have what it takes to become jenin or if you will be sent back to the academy hearing this the three jenin all reacted a bit different Naruto got a determined look in his eyes he needed to do this he had trained for this moment for years and now he could show the fruits of his training Shikamaru sighed once in annoyance why did he have to take another test wasn't one enough well if he didn't want to have his mother angry at him he should better get this done even though it was a drag so Shikamaru got ready for whatever kind of test it would be akumo wasn't sure about this whole thing while she had trained incredibly hard to use her jinjutsu abilities without losing control she wasn't as confident in her abilities as she would like to be however she knew that failing this test was not acceptable so gaining a Resolute stance yakumo waited further instruction seeing his students expression made yamat internally smile before continuing this test is rather easily explained you are to retrieve a scroll form a small Hut somewhere in this Forest this scroll then needs to be taken back to this point undamaged I will be defending the Hut and try to get back the scroll should you manage to extract it understood seeing no questions needed to be answered yumato started the test very well start after announcing the start of the test yumato once again vanished in a shunin leaving his three students behind to plan seeing that their Sensei has left Naruto turns to his two teammates okay guys we need some kind of plan saying this Naruto looked specifically at Shikamaru who when realizing that he was being stared at only sighed in a manner that some would associate with great suffering but was really just him expressing his displeasure with having to do anything okay so if we are going to do this I need to know some of your skills I really don't know anything about our Sensei but we should be able to do this if we do our best this kind of talk was a bit out of character for shikimaru or any Naru really but he had learned from his father that there was a place and time for being lazy and one for being serious seeing the truth in the statement Naruto started followed by yakumo and at the end even Shikamaru shared what he could do so that his teammates knew what to expect from him Atlas that was nutk reasoning okay guys so this is how we will do this right now yumato was hiding in the bran Ines of a tree next to the hut that he had created with his mokut and abilities he really wasn't sure what to expect from the team he knew Nudo since he was training him in his muttin abilities though yumato was rather sure that Naruto hadn't yet realized that his ambut Tudor and his gen and team Sensei were the same person the other two he didn't really know well well he had read the academy records for the both of them he didn't really give them much Leverage The Academy in general was flawed to high degree especially if you ask members of U because of the peaceful times the quality of Shinobi coming from the academy had dropped dramatically since the civilian Council had somehow been able to influence the curriculum so he would have to see how the yakumo and Nar a would do himself especially in combination with the sju a Naruto's strength was extremely impressive especially for his age the age could easily take opponents of tun and level with a repertoire of skills that he called his own and now that he knew about his tenant his growth would probably be even faster imato was knocked out of his thoughts when he was alerted by one of his muttin bunin that his students were moving in the direction of the Hut while initially surprised by the method used to locate the Hut in the forest he really should have expected it from a descendant of the shaame and especially the ndame using the technique that the nid Dame had used for locating things Naruto had used his chakra like a sonar by expelling it in waves that traveled on the surface of the ground right now his three students were simply traveling at speeds a bit slower than standard Jen and speeds towards his location even though Yamato was not overly concerned he was wary his bunion had also relayed to him that before moving in his Direction Naruto had dropped a smoke bomb without any discernable reason while Yamato could simply ride it off as the Sanu a being careless or clumsy he knew Naruto the boy had a good head on his shoulders and could be extremely cunning if he wanted to be well not on the level of anara Naruto was very intelligent and knew how to apply his knowledge in a practical way so Yamato would stay alert sensing his student stopping Yamato decided to change position he didn't know if nuto was able to locate him with his technique as swell but he wouldn't take the chance after relaying the order to keep their senses alert to his clone strin about the forest Yamato moved closer deciding to watch and see what his students would do nuto was pretty sure that the plan they had come up with had a rather High chance of success and it wild certainly work against alun and but jonan he had never seen Kakashi or any of his other teachers go all out even though they sometimes claimed they were he knew that they weren't Bashi was a borderline srank Shinobi there was not a chance in hell that he was able to make him even break a sweat even when he tried his hardest so Nudo really wasn't sure how much strength he should expect realizing that they had come rather close to the hut that yumato had designated as their target Naruto signaled for his two teammates to stop turning around Naruto saw that while Shikamaru still looked fine yakumo was already breathing heavier and the slightest bit of sweat was visible she had informed them of her weak body and how she wanted to improve in that regard but Naruto hadn't thought that it was this bad deciding to Simply keep it in mind but not mention it Naruto turned toward Shikamaru be ready Shikamaru asked Naruto while looking at the Nar air that was still looking rather serious yes you can start me and yukuma will proceed with our part he answered once more nodding at each other Naruto split up from the two and simply moved in the direction of the Hut he knew that he couldn't beat yumato Sensei however that wasn't his job anyways traveling at much higher speeds than before Naro reached the clearing that the Hut was located in in a few seconds as soon as he left the tree line Yamato Sensei appeared before him seemingly just casually standing there but Naruto wasn't buying it being a Shinobi was all about deception and he wouldn't expect friendly banter when he was in essence tasked to steal or retrieve a scroll letting a kunai fall into his hand from his sleeve Nudo Reed himself and stayed alert for everything so you have decided to Simply use the direct approach asked yumato sensei in a casual manner Nudo didn't let it bother him he didn't reply and simply stayed alert seeing that he wouldn't get a reaction out of his student this way Yamato decided to see how his student was able to fight using slow tune and speed yumato appeared in front of his student and tried to lash out with his left hand trying to hit nuto at the head nuto had been ready for such an attack though and since he was easily able to track movement at such speeds he was able to Simply jump backwards to dodge the hit seeing his Sensei overreaching slightly Naruto decided to try something taking out another kunai Naruto engaged his sensei in combat trying to get the upper hand through his use of kunai whereas his Sensei was still bare-handed the first slash was immediately dogged by Yamato through simply moving with the momentum and turning before then lashing out with his right hand for back handed attack against Naruto ducking under the blow Naruto took the other kunai and slashed the unguarded abdomen of his Sensei what surprised Naruto was that instead of feeling no resistance because of his Sensei dodging he felt his kunai cutting into what felt like wood looking down nuto saw that not a wound but the Telltale sign of an edge cutting into wood greeted him realizing both the identity of his Sensei and the fact that he had been fighting a bunch of Nudo decided to put some distance between himself and the bunion that was now retracting into the Earth he knew that Elemental loans were generally much weaker than the real deal so had to be careful if the real Yamato wasn't here he could be everywhere looking around Naruto saw two more yumato appear ready to fight him both of which were probably bunchin Naruto had realized that his Sensei was probably restricting himself in strength to a high degree since Naruto didn't think that he should be able to land a hit on a jonan that easily however this meant that while Naruto had a much higher chance of winning against a bunin it also meant that his Sensei could freely up a level if he felt like it which would probably catch him unaware somebody suddenly becoming stronger during a fight really wasn't normal and not something nuto could easily accustom to his musings were interrupted by one of the bunchin charging him with a kunai in hand while the other started doing hand seals to prepare a Jutsu throwing one of his kunai at the charging bunch and Naruto decided to deal with the Jutsu first going through a short series of hand seals Naruto whispered the name of his technique under his breath dutin to top a right after that nuto exhaled a strong gust of wind at the bunin that had just finished its hand seals believing that problem to be dealt with for a bit nuto focused back on the enemy that was now directly in front of him blocking the bunch and slash with his own kunai Naruto knew that he probably wouldn't be able to win a battle of pure physical strength so deciding to use one of the first things he had learned for fuan chakra Naruto channeled the nature chakra through his kunai thereby strengthening and sharpening the blade but the provided enhancement his kunai easily cut through the one in the bunin's hand the bunin seeing the surge of chakra early enough to react dropped the kunai and lashed out with its other hand the thrown Hook was caught in Naruto's other hand who immediately tried to get further away so he had some breathing room just when nuto was about a jump away he felt a surge of chakra to the left of him turning in that direction nuto saw what looked like a sutin tepida being launched at him by the bunch and he had tried to head earlier dumping back since he really didn't want OT get hit by the pressurized stream of water Naruto took out another kunai and aimed it at the cter of the Jutsu hoping that the Clone wouldn't immediately Dodge Naruto through out his other hand that was still holding a kuna ey while Whispering the name of his technique futin repu dot but that a smaller and weaker but more focused stream of wind left his hand speeding up the kunai leading to the bunin not fully being able to dodge the bunin was HIIT in the shoulder by the enest kunai but didn't immediately dispel like the last one instead the bunin pulled out the kunai and took it into its own hand though the Clone was visibly panting a sign that it was close to being dispelled the punishment of not being aware of his second adversary came in the form of a punch that hit nuto Square in the face when he turned back in the direction of the other bunchin leading to Naro being propelled backwards into a tree a bit further away one thing was fact Yamato Sensei hit hard getting up while releasing the slightest grunt of pain Naruto looked for the two bunchin seeing neither of the two Naruto took his team to use the little bit of medical knowledge he had to dull the pain in his face what damage had been inflicted would be healed almost immediately anyway even if he did nothing nuto knew that he would have to defeat the two bunin as fast as possible because his other two teammates were probably fighting the real Yamada now and while he didn't think they were weak he knew for a fact that they couldn't handle Yamato even he couldn't seeing the bunion that had punched him running towards him Naruto got ready to finish the fight ganling futin chakra into two new kunai Naruto used A variation of the shunin adapted to combat to move it incredibly high speeds the only thing heard was the slightest of winds before Naruto was behind the bunin still looking ahead of him the bunin immediately dispelled after the two cuts done by the enhanced kunai took Effect one cut going from the left side of the bunin's West to the right shoulder older while the other was a clean cut from the left side of the throat to the right one well certainly a brutal maneuver Naruto had realized early on that there were brutal moves and unnecessarily brutal moves some more effective than others in the end he was well aware that his chosen occupation was a bloody one one that was filled with hate death and bloodshed so he simply tried to do his job the best way he could since he had another though injured bunin to deal with nuto made his way back to the clearing where he presumed the bunch and may be waiting when nuto got close to the tree line he felt the chakra Spike behind which left him just enough time to avoid the wooden spikes that were sprouting from the ground looking to eviscerate him continuing in the same direction nuto jumped onto a branch close to him to Doge the spikes turning around Naruto couldn't spot the bunion that had attacked him observing his surroundings Naruto waited for any sign of his enemy feeling another chakra Spike to the right of him Naruto was once again forced to spring into action by his adversary molding his own chakra while jumping from the tree and turning around nuto fired another futin to top of in the direction of the attack seeing the gust of air make contact with a jet of water Naruto landed on the ground with only one kunai in hand the other hand already been thrown towards the bunin before Naruto had completely landed so he had only left running towards his enemy to finally take the bunin out and go help his team Naruto spotted the copy of his Sensei canceling the sutin technique to gain some distance Naruto wouldn't give him that chance though using the chakra nature that he was most comfortable with Naro used the water left behind by the bunin's attack and turned it into Spears made of Vice the form Spears hovered in the air for only a second before on Naruto's command blitzing towards the bunin that had desperately tried to seek cover it was to no avail though the long Spears easily pierced through the trunk of the tree that was used as cover and were able to dispel the copy behind it as swell releasing the hand seal that he had been holding Nudo breathed out the name of technique before leaving towards the location of his teammates hyen haos rangan ice spear barage and probably wrong if someone has some knowledge when it comes to Japanese please message me for all the others I'd like to know if the English names for the techniques are enough chikim really didn't like the situation he was in right now he and yukumo had been fighting two yumato since shortly after splitting up from nuto right now Shikamaru was barely holding down both clones with his kajim no Jutsu however he knew he wouldn't be able to hold it very long the two clones were physically strong enough to soon overpower his control of their bodies and he was running out of chakra next to him yakumo had brought out a scroll that she was Now using to draw something for one of her jinjutsu however Shikamaru could see that she was really exhausted it wasn't that she didn't have enough chakra it was simply that her stamina was too low the two enemies had simply Frau them into Jutsu first but Shikamaru had soon realized that the two were trying to tire them out it had already been a bit too late at that point though akumo had already been a bit exhausted from Simply getting to their current position and her weak body really showed during the short moments of T Jutsu bouts she was simply not up to the task at this moment Shikamaru himself couldn't boast about his stamina either and he was getting close to his limmit in that regard as well so what should they do he could probably count on yakumo's jinjutsu to Atlas hold their enemies for a few seconds so he would have to at least get rid of one in that time the question is what kind of jinjutsu would yukumo try to use shikim didn't know many jinjutsu and about yukumo he only knew that she was rather gifted in that category of the Shinobi arts and that in theory her K Jen Kai would give her incredible Powers if she learned to control it however how much could she do at this point as mus were interrupted by one of the adversaries breaking the hold of his Jutsu with sheer strength just like he had predicted however before the Clone could do anything else it suddenly stopped hoping to be right Shikamaru took out one of the kunai that he still had threw it at the immobilized enemy the kunai suprisingly to Shikamaru hit its Mark and took out the bunion that then reverted back to a wooden creature that slowly fused with the ground under it turning towards yumo Shikamaru saw the other Yamato behind yakumo ready to knock her out just when he was about to notify yakumo a chakra infused kunai flew through the head of the Amato from the side this one did also revert back to what afterwards looking in the direction that the kunai came from Shikamaru spotted narudo jumping from a tree not too far away from them are the two of you all right asked Naruto after landing and picking up his kunai seeing his two teammates nodding Naruto released a small sigh of relief it seemed like Yamato Sensei had made it rather easy for them Naruto knew the man could have easily dealt with his two teammates while he was preoccupied by the two bunin it seemed that everything had worked out super well though thinking that Naro lowered his left arm slightly so that a small Fox with a scroll in its mouth could jump on his arm taking the scroll the fox dispelled itself in a cloud of smoke and nuto spent a moment to look through the memories of his cage bunion creating two new copies of himself Naruto lowered himself to the ground and positioned his index and middle finger on the earth before sending a pulsive chakra through it while closing his eyes sensing nothing in the immediate vicinity Naruto stood back up and gave his two bunin who had laid a hand one of his teammates each of small nod a moment later the clearing was left deserted with only a gust of wind as a possible sign for what might have happened arriving in the clearing that they had started their little test and all three member of the team were surprised to see Yamato already waiting for them there well the suprise was better hit in Naruto and to a degree in shikamaru's case both of them still showed it on their faces while Naruto wasn't sure if the test was already over it seemed to be the case since yumato had let them leave the clearing and hadn't attacked them yet taking out the scroll nuto addressed his sensei mission accomplished yumato Sensei seeing the accepting nod of the man in front of him Naruto relaxed his guard since the test seemed over congrat walin you did very well since you passed this test we are now officially team 10 from now on we will accomplish missions and train together I will be tutoring you on General things and will be individually tutoring each of you should you have things to learn coming from your Clans you can come to me for advise if you want tomorrow I will evaluate each of you separately since I have seen you perform as a team today after that we will will see how exactly we proceed meet me here at 7:00 sharp tomorrow after saying this yumato left the training ground in a basic shunin looking towards his two teammates Naruto also said something I hope that we will be able to work together well and should any of need help I will also be happy to help should any of you want to look for me I can almost always be found at the sendu compound I'd be happy to train with the both of you I will see you tomorrow after executing a small bow towards both teammates Naruto left in a ftin shunin leaving only a gust of wind after saying their goodbyes Shikamaru and yukumo also left the training ground arriving in the senju compound nuto decided to do something he had been wanting to do ever since the Hokage had talked to him a few days ago heading to a quiet and Serene spot that nuto greatly enjoyed meditating and nuto sat down on a patch of grass and closed his eyes at start meditating after a moment Naruto felt his Consciousness reach a place different than the outside world opening his eyes Naruto looked around at a snow covered forest with a frozen lake in the middle that seemed vaguely familiar walking through the lands spap for a bit nuto reached a place where pillars of ice and trees formed something akin to bars Behind These Bars lay Darkness very much unnatural for a place that was normally well illuminated looking into the darkness Naruto felt the entity that he had been looking to meet sitting down in a meditating position nuto closed his eyes and simply waited a moment later he felt the entity move closer to the bars he however didn't open his eyes instead he simply waited a bit longer before addressing his tenant in a respectful but otherwise neutral tone of voice hello caoi hello ninjin Bal avator unknown how exactly the senju came to have the ability to construct avors with their chakra is not known to me the fact of the matter is that some members of the senju clan however can create these constructs they differ from person to person and strength durability and form and how exactly these things are decided is not known to anybody as far as I know what I know is that the simple Act of constructing the avator takes a great amount of chakra and even then not every senu was able to use this ability the because of this and the fact that no one willingly shared information on its possession nothing has been recorded other than rumors or worshipping witness reports that overstate the effects of the ability comparing the avater to a god striking its enemies the ability is rumored to have been used by the man that founded the sjuk clan there are however no official records of this through time different senu had gained nicknames that strongly indicate the use of this ability the AA Clan itself is able to somehow gain a similar ability the act of constructing the avater is always a conscious effort and is not triggered subconsciously if that was the case the ability would have been more common this way only those with prior knowledge could gain the ability I'm not sure if trying to attain this ability is worth the effort most of what I have wrote down here is based on rumors and tales told in the senju clan or notes that I have come to possess whoever reads this do with this information what you want to but I advise you to be careful what you do the great expenditure of chakra has been a recorded as a cause of death a lot of times over the years because it can lead to chakra exhaustion the day's mission is is the cat owned by the wife of a rich and influential business owner who is part of the civilian Council in koha unfortunately Torah has run away and we are tasked with bringing her back Tor can be identified by the red ribbon on her right ear and her brown fur explained yumato to the three jenin in front of him this was the first time that team 10 would be taking this Mission since they had mostly opted to do more stationary tanks in koha it had been a total of three weeks as team 10 now and the three Jen and were coming along nicely their teamwork was very good considering the time that they knew each other and individually they had also improved greatly Naruto who had an insane learning curve anyway hadn't gotten any slower when it came to learning and was easily High tune in material already when it came to the skills he however lacked experience in real battles the boy kept coming up with new ideas for hayot and Jutsu and he had learned a new Jutsu for each of his basic affinities in the three weeks the young jenin had also started using Tut Tanto to fight deciding to use kunai Mo as a last resort in close quarters combat and preferring them for throwing Shikamaru had broadened his repertoire of Jutsu by asking his father for some training and had worked on his to Jutsu and strategic thinking with yumato the boy was a certifiable genius the only problem being his extreme laziness when the boy chose to apply himself he could actually make it hard for Naro to remain ahead since shiku was even a tactical genius by Nar standards imad's own work ethic coupled with a slight amount of competitiveness sparked by Naruto had lead to Shikamaru trying much harder than before however the boy still was a lazy one but now was actually manageable akumo had probably improved the most when compared to the state she was in during the genine exam well certainly not weak because of her Talent which in Jutsu her body had held her back greatly after primarily working on strength speed stamina and to Jutsu for the 3 weeks her physical condition was much better her body could now keep up much longer giving her about gen and level physical abilities the good thing was that by giving her a good enough base concerning the body she had a much better chance of invoking her jinjutsu and through that not needing to rely on on physical activity while fighting the girl had trained with her clan in yui kurai one of the best jinjutsu users in koha at the moment and had come up with a few quite nasty Illusions all in all Yamato was confident that his team could finish a c rank Mission and he would ask for one soon now though he would let them try to catch that damn cat this wasn't what yumato had expected when he had chosen to apply for this particular deer anank normally Jen and teams curs the very existence of Torah after doing the mission once maybe twice since the cat kept fleeing and scratching the jenin instead his team simply walked through koha for a bit before a brown cat with red ribbon on its right ear came trotting up to Naruto Naruto had then simply picked up the cat now identified as Torah and started petting her the animal snuggling into the jenin and purring contently the whole way to the Hokage Tower B Naruto's teammates and nuto himself probably didn't know the implications of this happening yumato was well aware of them Tor was the mission hated by basically every Shinobi in koha the cat ran away all the time and catching her always ended in a wild goose Chase it was so bad that the different teams had sometimes made bets on who would catch Tor the fastest the bad thing being that the time used for the mission was usually above 2 hours and ended with atlast one jenin having his face littered with scratches when team 10 reached the mission office in the Hokage Tower they were not the only team in the room team seven was also there with all the members looking rather disgruntled and dirty well Kakashi was his usual lazy self simply standing there and reading his book on team seven spotted Tor in Naruto's arms their faces soured even more and a small growl could be heard from Kiba Kakashi simply greeted team 10 with a lazy wave before going back to his book arudo and yumato being used to Kakashi's Behavior simply greeted him in their own ways hello Kakashi Sensei Kakashi Senpai was said and accompanied by a nod the last person to spot team 10 and with a Torah was incidentally the client who immediately stormed towards Naruto and took the cat from him before proceeding to squeeze Torah to death leading to Torah looking visibly unhappy with the situation after that the woman simply left the room with her cat in her arms akumo leaned over to Naruto and whispered to him no wonder the poor thing ran away dot Naruto and Shikamaru who had also heard her simply nodded before focusing on their Sensei who had stepped towards one of the tune and Manning the mission distribution desk theme 10 reporting the success of assigned d rank catch Torah the target has been caught and brought back to the client who has received said Target Torah the written report is already been finished and is supplied together with a scroll for the mission after completing the normal procedure the tunin who had wrote down some things accepted the Scrolls for the drank Mission from their Sensei and filed away some paperwork Mission successive drank catch Torah has been acknowledged and the pay will hand it out to the accounts of the members of Team 10 accordingly but this was over team 7 who had just received another mission probably dear an left the room with Kakashi trailing behind his students seeing their Sensei turned around to address them all three genen and of Team 10 stood at attention for today we will not be doing any more missions we will proceed with some training tomorrow I expect you all ready for a c rank at the main gate at 8: a.m. pack accordingly and be ready for confrontation meet me in our training ground in 5 minutes for some training and an opportunity to ask questions should any come up but this yumato dismissed his Jen and who left the room directly following their sensei's dismissal after some training with his team nuto arrived at the senju compound after getting a quick bite to eat nuto moved towards the area of the senju compound suited for training normally he would train with niiji there but the Huga was on a mission with his team and wouldn't be back for a while but nuto reached the spot he had been looking for he decided on some meditation and thinking first seating himself in the middle of the clearing Naruto crossed his legs and closed his eyes he greatly enjoyed the quiet and Tranquility of nature it helped him think clearly and gave him time to focus the slight breeze blowing through the clearing making the leaves on the tree standing on the edge of the clearing rustle the sound of the water from a stream not too far away flowing at a sedate Pace the small animals that nuto knew were there but he couldn't quite sense because they being normal animals had such tiny chakra capacities especially compared to his own ber Naruto that drove home the fact that he was everything but normal no one his age should have chakra levels as high as his own right now he had more chakra than probably 95% of Shinobi will ever have and training to increase his chakra capacity was and had always been the farthest thing from his mind his Heritage as in yamaki and ASU alone would have granted him a high amount of chakra then there was his tenant being a ginu especially of the caoi meant that his chakra reserves would always dwar those of his comrades no matter how hard they trained thinking of his unwilling prisoner Naruto decided to pay a visit he really held no sort of grudge against the B sealed in him he had never witnessed anything that would justify such sentiments so he had decided to give the BIDU the benefit of the doubt sure nuto knew that nearly the whole population of koha would do anything but chat with the caoi if they could but nuto really couldn't care less if he would start doing things that most people did he not be Naruto send you anymore he owed it to his ancestors to stand tall and proud as the heir to his clan atlast that was how he felt elving into his mind Naruto noticed that the transition into his mindscape was smoother the more often he visited this spiritual plane Naro wasn't sure if a mindscape was normal thing every person could access through intense training and meditation or if this was an ability reserved for those branded as human sacrifices and tools of war in the end nuto knew that he was a weapon a more effective one than almost anybody in the elemental Nations if he was given some time that is what being the caoi vessel entailed most likely entering the snowy and Frozen Forest that was his mindscape nuto once again marveled at the beauty that was his mindscape he had never tried to change even the tiniest bit since he loved the feeling of complete fulfillment this place held most likely because it was a representation of his own mind it would spell trouble if he wasn't comfortable in his own mind for him this was the perfect place walking through the snowy expense Naruto thought about his current abilities and his training at this point he was rather pleased with his current repertoire however he wanted to better Master the things he had already learned since the Jutsu he used for his Hy and were basically all self-made they could be easily improved upon since there had never been a user of the chakra nature in the village all he had to go off concerning documents to help him were reports written down by people who had fought members of the Yuki Clan the clan nuto had learned that normally possessed this ability since these reports could obviously not explain how the Jutsu work the only thing they were good for was to give him new ideas for techniques reaching the place he had been walking towards Naruto seated himself in a cross Ed position and waited caoi would soon come she always did when he entered the mindscape though the Vixen had a habit of letting him wait when he had discovered the caoi to be female he hadn't been too surprised while not much was known about the bigu Naruto had wondered about the reasoning behind their different forms ever since he had first heard of them in the end nuto had hypothesized that the animal or animals their forms resembled probably gave an inkling towards their personalities iubi being a kitsun was most likely the most cunning and devious of the bunch while n hadn't known the bju to have a gender he believed that since they had certain personalities a gender would at some time be decided if they hadn't been born with one in the end it made no difference to him he had decided to be cautious with a caoi when he had found out that he contained her and his first meeting had only strengthen his belief that he should always keep his wits about him when talking with his tenant she was a trickster and while not necessarily evil in any sense she probably had her own goals that very likely would never coincide with his own so what is it that you have decided to visit me for nine was the first thing Nudo heard of his tenant it was said in powerful and proud voice that still retained a feminine quality to it opening his eyes Naruto looked up at the fox-like bigu that had made herself comfortable in front of him the caoi had an air of boredom man disinterest about her that seemed to always be present nuto didn't let that deter him though I have simply come to inquire about your current situation there really is no intent behind my visit beside me wanting to socialize with my tenant for a bit saying this Naruto conveyed a sense of Innocence that caoi knew to be entirely fake if she had learned anything about the sju that was her container it was that he should not be taken at face value or underestimated should you do so it would be your last mistake however she was just as much a trickster as her container could be and she would play this game if her counterpart so desired simply enjoying my time as best as I can trap here as I am I dwell in memories of times long past or think of my siblings and what their situation might be seeking entertainment is no possibility in this prison I find myself in and I'm not so has to socialize with you simply to pass the time B said with the slightest hint of humor in her voice Naruto knew that what the Vixen said was true in the end she was forced into this situation just like he was not letting his thoughts be seen nuto Fain a h expression and tone while responding do I not satisfy the standards of this Mighty Vixen may I inquire as to how I could make your life more enjoyable well I have not desire nor ability to change our connection with each other this is my mind and I do hold certain power in here B is seemingly open and good with willed proposal caoi certainly wasn't convinced well young theju had learned how to hide his emotions very fast and cracking his mask was no easy matter for now she would not thrust the word spoken by the martle before her narrowing her eyes slightly the barest growl could be heard developing in her throat to warning sign if there ever was one I have no need for your help or pity ninjin you may hold power and say with your kin however those do not hold value with me do not assume I can be easily fooled into anything leave if you nothing else to say after saying her peace caoi stood up from her position on the ground and turned around to walk towards another part of the prison she inhabited seeing that the conversation was finished narudo decided to finish his meditation and get some more training done he would see if he and the Vixen could ever work together or anything of the sort well his tenant might not believe the legitimacy of his offer it had actually been a genuine one he held no grudge or ill feelings towards her and really wasn't hard to change anything in his mind atlast he presumed that he couldn't really fault the Vixen for her mistrust though goodness of the heart wasn't something he believed in either so he wouldn't expect that from others nuto had been out of the village more times than his two teammates probably had been but he was relieved to see them not showing any signs of nervousness or anxiety he really didn't want to deal with that right now traveling through the woods towards their destination was somewhat relaxing for narut maybe it was the fact that he was close to Nature or the fact that he was using and controlling his chakra he didn't know but it was rather caling anyways while jumping from Branch to Branch basically on autopilot Naruto thought a more about his team since he had already known yumato before the team had been formed he not been surprised in any way the man was professional all the way through and was easy to work with most of the time then there was Shikamaru since neither Yamato nor nuto himself would accept slacking off during training Shikamaru had been forced to actually put effort into the training and it showed theara had become much better in controlling his shadows and he had started to work on his to jutsum more however he was still way too lazy for nito's tastes since as soon as training ended Shikamaru would be right back to Cloud watching and lazing about nuto sometimes thought that maybe he was being to hard on Shikamaru in this regard and that he was seeing this whole issue differently than others his age did which was entirely plausible however he also thought that most of his peers were taking the Shinobi business entirely tol lightly so that really didn't count for much and lastly there was yukumo she was an introverted girl and nuto kind of appreciated it she spent a lot of time painting and drawing on her own as far as he knew and she was still a rather hard worker when it came to her jinjutsu were nothing to scoff it however her weak body still gave her trouble sometimes Nudo while he hadn't let it show had been rather disgruntled when he had been told that he would have to be placed on a team with his former classmates Naruto wouldn't call himself arrogant however he was aware that he was far ahead of all of them it was simply a logical conclusion that he having trained with experience Joan and her other teachers during the time that his peers had been in the academy was ahead of them by a fair margin that in the end he would never have been able to do anything against it anyways as much as he considered the sand a to be dear to him the man was still the Hokage and could simply order him to do as he said it was the hard truth and it didn't really bother Naruto as a Shinobi he was expected to follow orders if he couldn't live with it he should have chosen a different profession focusing back on reality Naruto realized that the forest was thinning out which meant they were approaching their destination after a few more jumps they finally passed the tree line and all members of the team landed on the ground while the three Jen and waited for further instruction by their Sensei the mission that we have been assigned concerns a bandit Camp about three and a half clicks to the north from here a nearby Village has been hit repeatedly by small raids and traveling Merchants too poor for protection have been ambushed on there towards the village since the village isn't big enough to afford some kind of guard post or anything of the like they have turned to koha to deal with the issue we have been given free reign as long as the bandits are exterminated explained yumato to his students while it was their first seank mission and they would also experience their first kills Yamato wanted to hand handle this completely professional for now and use normal Mission procedure he thought that being to easy on Jen and only encouraged them to rely on others to make their decisions and wouldn't prepare them for the duties of aunan or even jonan at all add to that the fact that the new teams of this generation were nearly completely made up of Clan heirs who were expected to Atlas reach jonan rank it would be detrimental to pamper them in this regard our plan will be made once we have gotten a better view of the situation we will need to do some scouting before we are able to formulate a good plan of action for now we will search for a good spot closer to the camp that we can use as a meeting place after making sure everyone had understood everything Yamato resumed traveling with his jenin Naruto could almost feel the blood pumping through his veins as they got closer to the admittedly small banded Camp well sparring was good to keep in touch with your abilities and not get stagnant it was fundamentally different from a real fight the actual chance of been critically injured or at worst dying was just different from the relative safety of a normal Spar he wasn't nervous more like excited nuto didn't know what had said about him that the prospect of fighting and killing others excited him but he couldn't do much about it he had taken a life once before and he didn't enjoy it in any way however fighting was just something that got to him the feeli adrenaline pumping through your body having to be careful with every move you make her pay for it maybe it was the possibility of facing a challenge that actually excited nuto though there really wasn't any chance that simple Bandits would be any kind of challenge for even a weak jenin the ability to use chakra no not even that just having chakra unlocked alone gave one such a big advantage that it wasn't even a challenge anymore unlocking chakra not only meant having access to it it also meant having your body constantly exposed to the energy how exactly it worked Naruto didn't know however it was a fact that bodies exposed to chakra were much tougher than normally and with that came increased strength and speed even without using chakra to consciously enhance those attributes sure an untrained body exposed to chakra would still not be able to match a heavily trained body not exposed to chakra but the point was that it would still be close the privilege if you could call it that of having chakra at your exposure was only reserved to those who chose to become Shinobi in the end one could say that this privilege was basically given to those the Hokage and by proxy the Dao deemed worthy it was an arbitrary train of thought but Naro didn't care anyway since he had committed to this life and wouldn't back down now unlike probably all of his peers he had at one point doubted his decision however Naruto hadn't known and didn't know now either what else he should do even though his parents were dead he had grown up with the thought of becoming a shobi imprinted in his mind whether intentionally or unintentionally by the sand a thinking about it now nuto believed that it was probably intentional manipulation on the Huck's part but it really was a course of action nuto understood and would he have been in the same situation would have also taken his lineage tenant and innate Talent concerning the Shinobi Arts was something that could not be wasted on a civilian coming out of his thoughts he really did get lost and thought often nowadays nuto noticed that he and his team could already see the glow of the campfires and the sound of laughter coming from the camp waiting on the branches of two neighboring trees team 10 got ready for action nodding towards each other the Jen and moved silently while Yamato stayed back to support from further away Naruto wasn't completely sure why their Sensei had decided to use this approach but he was confident that they wouldn't need his help anyways and saw no problem with it because of that stopping on branches closer to the camp but far enough away to not be seen by the bandits Naruto and his teammates Reed their chosen form of attack taking out the two Tanto he had started wearing in sheaths on his lower back Naruto got ready to jump into action one glance was thrown towards his two teammates before Naruto dropped to the forest floor silently and commenced attacking but that last glance also spotted that Shikamaru had set his hands into the necessary signs for his family's Shadow Jutsu while yukumo started casting a low-level jinjutsu using Jutsu in this category was out of the question for Naruto though there was a time and a place for overwhelming your opponent for annihilating your enemy and his or her entirety in this case however they were fighting lowly Bandits normal humans with no access to chakra this wasn't such a situation in this case he believed you should only use what was necessary just killing fast and efficiently in the end it wasn't his decision but he still didn't have to like it breaking through the tree line one of Naruto's Tanto lodged itself into the skull of the Bandit closest to him ripping it out while passing the falling body Naruto used the other Tanto to decapitate the Bandit that had been standing next to the one that had already been down slowing his speed down slightly to gain better Mobility Naruto decided won the left since he had entered at the middle of the camp and could already see Bandits falling to the ground on the right reaching one of two1 set up in the camp Naruto sliced open the side and stepped into the tent seeing a single Bandit on one of the mats laying on the ground as a makeshift bed Naruto stepped towards the person and slid his throat before using the man's clothes to clean the blade now the first screams could be heard which meant one of the bandits had seen what was going on or shikimo and yukuma were doing a poor job of being silent on their side three sets of footsteps past the tent he was in without noticing his presence so nuto decided to get rid of everyone left on his side exiting the tent nuto heard movement to his right turning in that direction nuto spotted a single Bandit that seemed to have just stood up from the mat under him seeing the Man's eyes focus on him nuto reacted fast channeling the tiniest bit of chakra to enhance his speed nuto appeared before the man and thrust one Tanto into the man's heart before using the other one to decapitate him pulling his weapons out of the corpse Naruto heard the heavy steps behind him spinning around Nar spotted just what he had expected the heavy man with a bulky build was moving towards him with an axe in hand the man lacked any kind of form and was probably more Brawn than brain so an easy opponent Sid stepping the downward swing of the Bandit Naruto lodged off the arm used to swing the axe before penetrating the heart of the Bandit from the left side passing through the ribs Sage without hitting any bones before Naruto had the time to pull out his two weapons a shout akin to a war cry alerted him to what was probably the last Bandit on his side of the camp letting go of the Tanto in the Dead man's side Naruto jumped back to create some distance looking at the person before him carefully Naruto saw that this one well seemingly having less Brawn and more brain than his dead comrade was still not the brightest one the war cry had given as much away so little child thinks he can mess with us huh it was said in a condescending tone entirely out of place in the situation it was however fast explained when narudo noticed the slight slur in the voice of the man before him nuto could spot The Confident look in the Bandit's eyes even though he had probably seen atlast one of his com get easily beaten by the child in front of him the man wielded a simple straight sword of bad quality with barely more grace than the brute laying at his feet had his ax not wanting to risk any kind of injury even though it was unlikely in the first place Naruto threw his Tanto at the man's face at a speed the man should be able to track in the same moment Naruto moved behind the man with a chakra enhanced speed the man not realizing that his foe was now behind him ducked under the Tanto thrown his way before standing back up with a matching smirk to his tone of voice before the man could could open his mouth to gloat about the easily achieved Dodge he felt hands at the back of his neck the split second before the snap of bones breaking could be heard the banded realized that he had been entirely out of his League letting the body fall to the ground Naruto collected his two Tanto before running towards the other side of the camp where the sounds of fighting could still be heard jumping into the trees and not running through the camp where he would be easily spotted Naruto stopped on a branch overlooking the side of the camp he had left yakumo and Shikamaru spotting six Bandits Bound by shikimaru shadows and see Shikamaru easily holding them down Naruto turned his sight to the rest of the bandits two Bandits who seemed dead were laying on the ground while two others were fighting each other which meant that one was probably stuck in jinjutsu courtesy of yakumo seeing the only female of the team behind one of the trees nuto looked for the last missing Bandits they had gotten 18 signatures from the camp when they had scouted it and the chance of one of them sleeping through an attack was basically zero so two Bandits unaccounted for the rustling of leaves below him alerted Naruto to the Bandit that had seeming ly been hiding in a bush for the whole time and was running towards Yuma with a small knife in hand jumping into the air nuto landed on the Bandit shoulders right now the Bandit she was controlling was winning the fight if barely hearing the rustle of leaves from the left eumo turned to see a single Bandit sprinting towards her and simply passing by the two fighting Bandits seeing the knife in his hand yukumo froze up for the shortest moment which however was enough to break her control over the Bandit in her jinjutsu just when the Bandit was getting close and she was getting ready to fight him with the kunai she had held in her hand the whole time she saw her teammate landing on the Bandit trying to attack her before with a Thrust into the back of the Bandit's skull he killed the man stepping back to avoid the falling corpse yumo nodded towards nuto in thanks having dealt with a bandit attacking his teammate narudo turned towards the two Bandits who had stopped fighting each other after yukumo jinjutsu had stopped seeing the two Bandits still looking away from him Naruto once again threw his tantos at the heads of the clueless men both blades found their stop in the skull of one Bandit respectively walking towards the two bodies laying face first on the ground Naruto took his weapons of choice out of the corpses before flicking the blood off the blades he really should start using kunai for this kind of thing since it would probably be a pain to clean the two blades afterwards so now there was only one Bandit still missing not detecting anybody in the immediate vicinity beside his two teammates and the six Bandits still Bound by Shadows with his senses Naruto closed his eyes and touched the ground with his index and middle fingers sending out a pulsive chakra Naruto got a view of his surroundings at a much higher range about 200 M away there was Shakra signature of a human most likely the last Bandit aiding on a course of action Naruto turned towards his two teammates Naruto addressed them get rid off the six Shikamaru is holding down I'm going to go and get the last one wait here for me until I come back or until Yamato Sensei arrives not even waiting for a reply knowing that they had understood Naruto turned in the direction of the last Bandit and began the chase by jumping into the trees while sheathing his two tent Omid jump for now he would focus focus on finishing this Mission not even 30 seconds later Naro had caught up to the obviously frightened Bandit the man was visibly sweating and was running for his life while looking back every few seconds to check if he was being followed deciding to not drag this on nuto took a with a shuriken he didn't really like using them since heok kunai were much more effective but he had them anyways throwing the little metal star and seeing it find its Mark in the back of the man's head Naruto jumped towards the corpse before pulling out the shuriken and using one of the most basic Kon Jutsu to inate the body so as to not leave behind any traces of what had happened making his way back to the camp to meet with his team Naruto didn't know if he should be proud of himself or scared he was way too good to killing team 10 had been on a couple more C rank missions after their first one and nuto was very pleased by this actual combat experience was one of the things he had been lacking a lot before but the first few missions really had helped with that since they had all involved fighting bandits in some way or another this time though there no Prospect of any fighting but Naruto would even say that he was more happy about this Mission than any other one he could have gotten while officially ranked as C it really was only a simple delivery Mission with no real danger involved what made this Mission important however was the place the documents were to be delivered to the capital nuto had been there a bunch of times already and had rather enjoyed his time there he had been allowed to accompany the Hokage when the man had been there to visit the Dao to discuss things not to be known by the public since this mission was also a way to give political experience to shikimo and yukumo because both of them were heirs it was the perfect mission for team 10 experience while dealing with politics was important especially if one couldn't fall back on the elders or advisers of the clan like nuto while many thought all the Nobles to be bratty and arrogant to some degree it really was quite different in reality the dimeo of fire country was a prime example of that Nakamura Hadi was a man who at first glance seemed like a Pampered nobleman with only his own desires in his head and arrogance resulting of his status getting to his head however upon further inspection the man was a cunning politician his family had remained as the Royal leaders of high no cuni for a reason and that was probably it that however didn't mean that there weren't any bratty and arrogant Nobles Naruto had been asked to explain different aspects of the world of noblemen politics to his two teammates who couldn't fall back on any experience in that regard while in the capital and that would be what he would do to the best of his abilities political parties really had been a pain for narudo since tunate had been the only known member of the senju clan for a while she had been representing the clan on her one the problem with that was that sunun didn't seem to care for politics in any way her reputation as an alcoholic and a gambler and her bad luck had made for a rather bad image that had reflected badly on the whole clan nuto as a new member of the clan had now been forced to rectify that reputation that had been given to the senju clan while tunate had been the only member and that meant he had to go to a bunch of Banquets balls or Galas most of the time it was just a certain family showing off or trying to gain influence but nuto had still been forced to attend this was also Al one of the reasons that nuto had left the village multiple times already since most nobles were not Shinobi and owned their own land in ha no Kuni or were living somewhere else entirely Naruto had needed to travel to different places to attend those parties the way from koha to the capital didn't take very long when traveling at the speeds that Shinobi were capable of but it still took about 3 hours since yukumo and Shikamaru weren't as fast yet and they had to slow down a bit because of it it wasn't an issue though while the document they were delivering was important they had been given way more time then necessary to travel to the capital however nuto believed that they would have bring back the response as well which would explain the two-day time window they had been given they had finally arrived at the entrance of the capital well it was named the capital it was basically just the palace that Dao lived in and enough place to support all the people living inside the walls surrounding the property since servants and such didn't live inside the palace external housing still inside the walls was provided for those working in the capital and then there was also the guard of the Dao which also had housing inside the walls which explained the immense size of the capital the Dao of ha no Kuni was protected by a guard of Samurai who were supposed to be the best of the best that could be found Samurai were actually not easy to fight even for a Shinobi especially those trained in tetsu no Kuni or that was what Naro had read Atlas a while ago there had also been a group of 12 Fighters picked to defend the Dao from enemies that Samurai couldn't protect him from the group had been disbanded though when internal fighting inside the group had lead to them fighting each other and only two surviving the event since then no new members had been appointed and the surviving members had gotten back to their former lives nuto didn't know if there were any plans to revive the group and he wasn't sure if there was any reason to most of the time no one was dumb enough to attack a Dio directly since it would just lead to the next one stepping up in this world that he had unwillingly become involved in things weren't solved like that
