What If Naruto Merged With Kyuubi Chunin Exams || Part-1 ||

hey guys how are you all welcome back to my Channel today we will see what if Naruto merged with caoi Chun and exams if you enjoy then please like share and do comments narut took a last glance at his left at the unmoving body of his teammate and rival sasak chiha oh how he hated that prick it was really simple the boy behaved like an [ __ ] most of the time but never once he thought that SAS would die before he finally managed to surpass him and rub it in his face the mission to wave country was supposed to be an easy C rank task take the Builder escort him to his land and protect him from damned Bandits as luck usually hated Naruto it ended completely different on their way to wave they ran across the demon brothers and after that they met in a fierce battle with the A ranked missing nin from the village in the mid Zabuza momoi as their Sensei happened to be the famous copy ninja Kakashi hitaki they won thinking that the demon was dead however when Kakashi woke up from Chakra exhaustion as he overused his Sharingan in that fight they quickly realized that they were tricked and Zabuza was still alive they were then waiting for the second attack on the bridge builder which soon came Naruto sasak and even Sakura trained under Kakashi's tutelage for some Basics that should have helped them in the upcoming battle only now narut knew how much his Sensei sucked ever since Kakashi took over team seven it was probably probably only the second time that he trained the young jenin it was now evident Kakashi picked Zabuza leaving his accomplice to the jenin that was a fatal mistake hku zaba's partner was on a much higher level than they could handle after creating his demonic mirroring ice crystals hiku quickly showed them just how much stronger the young Shinobi was it happened so fast that narut was still in shock sasak after finally activating his Sharingan could somewhat see the trajectories of the senbon needles that hku continuously fired at them when hku noticed it he switched his Target and aimed at Naruto Naruto couldn't evade the attack in time and then something happened one second sasak was standing a few meters away from him the next second he was falling down after getting hit in vital places with senbon needles the sight of his dead teammate was enough for Naruto to snap now in evil demonic chakra started to emerge from his body engulfing him completely cracking the ice mirrors with its pure pressure while hku was still getting over the surprise Naruto's Consciousness Slipped Away in Naruto's mindscape I recognized this chakra this feeling a giant nine-tailed fox growled in his cage inside Naruto's mind quote dot dot dot Sharingan he finished and widened his eyes as he felt some of his chakra enter Naruto's system I see so the brat finally calls upon my power even if he's doing it unconsciously a that's a good fee his eyes snapped open as he suddenly felt something in nutk body which forced him to cringe and disgust so that's why the kid is still like this why he has so many problems disgusting humans even I wouldn't go that far growling again he tried to push more of his chakra into Naruto but the seal on his cage prevented him meanwhile Naruto woke up to the floating feeling he had in his body he blinked and tried to observe his surroundings where am I it stinks in here he grimaced and tilting on one side he managed to stand up in the water that was reaching almost to his waist a sewer he wondered as he finally recognized his location looking to his right he noticed weird tubes running along the walls liking their colors he decided to follow them walking slowly eventually he emerged in a huge open area with a cage door at its end what's a cage doing here he asked loud and jumped backwards after a single bloodshot eye appeared in the dark you have come brat I would welcome you but you would need to come closer caoi said maliciously and licked his teeth Naruto gulped in fear at the huge silhouette that could be seen behind the bars who are you where am I he yelled with a hint of fear in his voice with an amused expression caoi dropped his head to look closer at him and grinned deviously even someone as dumb as you should have realized the obvious answer answer brat looking offended narut got over his fear and clenched his fists are you calling me stupid stupid he yelled making caoi sweat drop I'm officially embarrassed that he's my host if that won't help I swear I'll try to kill myself you can say that but it's not your fault that you're what you are and so that you won't ask more pointless questions I am the great ninetail demon caoi Naruto recoiled and his eyes bulged out e what are you doing here stupid Fox with his mouth twitching caoi hit the floor with his paw silence you disrespectful human don't forget with whom you're talking normally I wouldn't even bother communicating with you at all so be thankful he roared and made Naruto swallow heavily F fine but why should I be thankful you're the reason konaha hates me and the reason for all those he shuddered and pushed the painful Memories Back seeing that caoi was torn between tormenting him with those memories and calming down he choos the second option as he wanted to be done as quickly as he could I know that's one of the reasons I hate humans they judgmental and incomprehensibly stupid most of the time I saw what your life was like Ed for surviving so far you earned a tiny piece of respect for me but that's it he said more calmly narut growled himself a bit but held his tongue so where am I he asked you are in your mindscape in your mind outside you called out to my power and when I felt something odd I pulled you here so that we could talk caoi replied watching many Expressions run through Naruto's face odd yes brat odd how should I say this without him freaking out that would be too Troublesome a short silence fell between them Naruto was waiting for the caoi to say something and the fox was trying to think of how to say what he wanted to say settling on his approach caoi tilted his head Brad did you ever notice that you are a little bit different from your peers he asked carefully narut only scratched his head and tilted his head too um no I am oh Old man rikudo give me strength caoi whined in his mind yes you are if you look closer youd notice it unlike the rest of your peers you are scrawny short obnoxious and Loud have problems molding chakra and most of all you are quite stupid the blonde in front of him opened his mouth to make an angry retort but Ubi cut him off say what you want be insulted but it's true and deep down you know it too I know your true feelings that you don't want to show to anybody and that even you're shouting about becoming a hokagay is just to give yourself some courage I know everything about the days you spend alone in the apartment depressed over not getting enough attention I know it all don't forget that it was almost funny if it wasn't actually sad seeing Naruto's expression suddenly fell and settle at anguish I I I guess so you liked it didn't you to see me suffer to see me being tormented beating up and that he unexpectedly yelled surprising the caubi with a frown the nin tale shook its head maybe at the beginning I enjoyed it but as those attacks became more frequent and brutal even I couldn't take it as fun even if they were mostly just psychological in that moment it made even me angry but enough of this trip to your memories I only wanted to say one thing that you were from the rest of your frying no teers is not completely your fault when that happened a seal was put on you that screwed up your brain and affected your body in a bad way caoi stated with obvious disgust in his voice Naruto widened his eyes and fell on his butt W what why he whispered not believing that the villagers would resort to something like that being a ninja was always his dream and they wanted to take away even that if I had to guess I'd say that they were afraid that you would say what happened and tried to erase your memories but failed instead they created a part idiot who had little chance of becoming a Shinobi of konaha the giant Fox replied wrinkling his nose B but Hoag Gigi would notice Naruto gritted his teeth from what I recall and it's not much since that seal kind of knocked me out in that moment they covered their tracks using the help of the hospital staff so that even the hogate probably couldn't notice it why are you telling me this I can't get rid of that seal myself and I don't want to tell hokagay Gigi about this Naruto asked after a moment of silence because I can get rid of it caoi said shocking the jenin why would you that no wait why should I even trust you you're trying to get out of this seal aren't you narut exclaimed surprising the fox Sue he has some moments of clarity even now yes I want to get out of the seal but I'm also Immortal so I can wait for my release in right now I'm interested in what you could do with yourself without having restraints additionally I felt your teammate activating his Sharingan and let me tell you one thing I hate humans but if there's something I hate even more it's the cursed Sharingan of the uias don't ask me why but it's like that and I decided to help you so that you could show him that being an Uchiha doesn't mean he's the best to put it bloodly I want to see you kick his ass so hard he won't be able to sit for a week caoi stated with a dangerous glint in his eyes eyes making Naruto back away a little well I'd be happier if every UI ended up as dead meat but for now this will be enough how should I know that you're not tricking me Naruto questioned the caubi the great demon side you're still asking about that I already told you but if you're still suspicious the only thing that needs to be done for me to be able to help you is to loosen this seal that keeps me here but only a tiny bit I need to push a bit more chakra into your system to be able to the flush that blasted thing from you I'm not asking for more even you should know that until you completely rip this seal away I can't get out he explained and almost laughed when narut tried to think of another argument when nothing came up to his mind Naruto slowly nodded fine I'll do it carefully walking to the cage Naruto jumped to the seal and lifted the right corner of it jumping back down he widened his eyes as he felt more of cao's chakra entering his system so much chakra from loosening the seal only this much that fox must really be crazy strong he gulped and looked back at caoi who closed his eyes and focused go back to the real world I'll work quickly and for that short period you can use the rest of my chakra to defeat the one who's trying to defeat you oh and so you know your precious H isn't dead that boy you're fighting against only put him into a sleep similar to death caoi mumbled when Naruto stared to feel his presence Vanishing a that's good I still need to kick his ass and Sakura would be devastated he replied and disappeared that infatuation with the girl is weird too I should look for any other seal the fox thought and got to work real world what is this chakra it's so evil and it's even changing its form but that's impossible hku thought as he watched the red chakra swirling around Naruto he looked closer at the jenin and widened his eyes the cuts on his hands their healing in what is this boy he was shaken out of his stuper when Naruto suddenly turned his head and looked him directly in the eye Naruto's eyes were no longer the same blue color he'd always had instead they were dark orange almost red with slits for pupils overall he was looking more feral and dangerous than ever glancing at the unconscious SAS again he raised his head and roared just as hiku shot another set of senbon at him knocking them down with Sonic pressure what hku thought and quickly flashed to the next mirror when he barely noticed nut's fist closing in on him fast without losing any momentum hiku started to flash across his mirrors always launching a set of needles at him while inside a mirror for a moment when he couldn't hit him as the blonde started to dodge them he thought he couldn't get any more surprised he was wrong just as he was trying to flash to the next ice mirror he felt a hand gripping his wrist and he turned his head in shock no way he caught me he couldn't think anymore as a quick and heavy right hook sent him crashing through his own judu and he painfully landed on the Cold Stone outside of his ice Dome his mask crumbling spitting Blood on the floor he barely had enough strength to stand again and Naruto was already in mid jump aiming another punch at him with a sudden realization a sad smile settled on his face Zabuza S I cannot defeat this boy the gariki stopped his fist a mere inch before haku's face as he finally registered his opponent's features haku's mask fell completely just as he was trying to stand up and now it was the only thing that saved him you you're from that time in the forest Naruto choked out his fist still trembling yes why did you stop I killed your precious friend don't you want to avenge him hku asked dly slowly retracting his hand Naruto shook his head SAS is not dead don't lie to yourself he's dead and I he was interrupted when Naruto lightly punched him enough to send him to the ground again you don't lie to me you did to saus the same thing you did to Zabuza when we first fought him you just put him to sleep Naruto said and glanced at the white-eyed hku so you noticed but it doesn't matter I failed Zabuza San you defeated me taking away my only reason to live as Zabuza San has no need for a weak weapon hku smiled at him and stood up again Naruto gritted his teeth why are doing this for a guy who sees you as disposable trash I don't understand it is he so important to you he yelled at hu who only looked down I had other precious and important people once my parents so Naruto was cut off when hku continued until my father killed my mother and tried to kill me he finished freezing Naruto with his words W what blinking hiu looked at his hands and grimaced I was born in a snowy Village in the Mist country where after countless Civil Wars those with Advanced blood abilities with bloodline limits became hated you mean your ice Naruto asked and watched as hku sadly nodded yes a person with a bloodline limit could be used as a powerful weapon and kill many people with his special abilities that happened many times so the rest of villagers started hunting those with bloodline limits forcing them to go into hiding your friend with the Sharingan must have lived through hardships too as we are often feared do one day my father found out that my mother was one of them as well as the fact that I carried her bloodline limit too and he got enraged that's cruel narut thought before I knew what was happening I killed my father and realized the painful truth painful truth hakun nodded that in this world I am an unwanted person a flash of recognition flew across Naruto's eyes when he realized something he's the same as me Zabuza San found me and took me in he gave me a reason for Liv I was so happy narut widened his eyes when a tear escaped from haku's eye and now I failed him Naruto Kon please kill me hku stated numbly staring directly into Naruto's eyes the jenin backed away and swallowed heavily W no you're not just a weapon you're a person just as I am just as Zabuza is and just as anyone else is if you failed Zabuza then find another purpose in your life don't just give up Naruto jumped back and grabbed hku by his shoulders shaking him hku only smiled at him I see you've never killed before you're kind too however you need to learn that in this profession when being a ninja you sometimes can't choose what to do and you have to kill even those close to you when narut shook his head haku's face hardened do it narut please I cannot live without Zabuza San please accept this you will only do me a favor by doing this sooner or later you need to have your first kill and it will be rough do it now and you'll at least have time to get over it if you won't do it I really will kill your friend widening his eyes further Naruto looked at hku whose face held submission as well as resolve with shaking hands he took out his Kai and raised his hand seeing that hku grabbed it and put it over his heart thank you Naruto [ __ ] do it and do not mourn me as I'll be in a better place do it and become stronger I can see it in your eyes you've lived through many hardships yourself but there is still a will to keep on living in them in urge to change things to change the ways of Shinobi promise me that you'll do that and I'll be the first one to tell you this hiku trailed off and unexpectedly he closed in on narut and lightly kissed him on the lips I believe in you he said and put both of his hands on Narutos with a smile and just before he forced the Kai in his heart he chuckled at Naruto's expression just so you know I lied I'm actually a girl when Naruto was able to move again his mind finally understood what happened he wanted to touch his mouth but with horror he realized that his hands were covered in blood as he glanced down at the ground in front of him he found the lifeless body of hku lying in a pool of blood but still wearing a genuine and happy smile it was in that moment that the Mist surrounding the bridge cleared itself showing every member of Team seven along with Zabuza Still Standing although he was surrounded by Kakashi's summons that were keeping him in one place Naruto I'm glad that you're okay Kakashi's relieved voice trailed off when he noticed that Naruto was shaking and that his hands were covered in blood seeing the dead body next to him he quickly understood the situation first kill and it must have happened just now damn do single quote Kakashi cursed mentally and prepared his Chidori so that he could finish off Zabuza impossible Haku lost Zabuza whispered in disbelief Naruto where is sasun Sakura yelled at him frantically and seeing sas's unmoving body in the distance she widened her eyes and ran to him not giving Naruto even one look sasak Kakashi thought worriedly but forced himself to focus on Zabuza who still couldn't get over his shock just as Kakashi went to jump to Zabuza and finish him off A sly voice cut through the silence what is this you couldn't handle those weak konaha ninjas pathetic and you call yourself a demon but I guess I'm in luck I never really intended to pay you rather I wanted to kill you afterwards and this just makes things easier [ __ ] Kakashi cursed again I'm too low on chakra in the distance he could see G with his Regiment of Bandits staring at Zabuza scornfully the demon of the Mist glared at the short businessman Kakashi Zabuza called out to the Jan this fight is over I no longer have any reason to go after tuna therefore our fight is over Kakashi looked only slightly surprised but quickly nodded right as GD walked forward he noticed haku's lifeless body oh yeah that's the bastard that almost broke my arm oi you lot give me some arrows so I can shoot him he yelled at his Bandits who gave him a small crossbow with a single Arrow go aimed at hiku and took the shot which was heading to haku's head when Kakashi noticed it he frowned deeply even in the war mutilating dead bodies was considered a disgusting practice just when he wanted to turn his head away from the corner of his eye he saw a small movement and widened his eyes in the last second before the arrow hit her narut jumped in front of hku deflecting the shot with a canai narut you bastard he quietly whispered and the red chakra that had almost disappeared from him engulfed him once more scaring the bandits with with its evil nature so I was right he's now able to tap into cao's chakra Nar be careful you're still not over your first kill Kakashi thought worriedly last time he felt this chakra he lost his Sensei and a lot of his friends and given Naruto's current emotional state he was afraid that something bad could happen you bastard Naro repeated this time more loudly and surprisingly he turned to Zabuza say something you bastard weren't you always with hku don't you feel anything at all shut up kid Zabuza growled at him quote dot dot dot I used hku just as God used me I already told you in the Shinobi World there are those who use and those who are used we Shinobi are simply tools to be used by our leaders it's the same with hku I only wanted the blood she carried in her veins not her that's all she Kakashi thought in Surprise Naruto widened his eyes and took a step towards Zabuza hey do you really mean that Kakashi jumped to narut and went to grab him but the jenin ducked under him stop narut he's not our enemy anymore and Kakashi tried to stop him [ __ ] he is my enemy Naruto yelled pointing at Zabuza meanwhile go turned to his henchmen who's this annoying brat she she really loved you God damn it she loved you so much that she was willing to die for you narut yelled at Zabuza again do you really really feel nothing at all if I become as strong as you will I really become like you she threw away her life for you died thinking she was just a tool to you when his tear fell to the ground Naruto clenched his fists that's not that's just too sad he couldn't continue anymore but he raised his head when Zabuza interrupted him kid just you don't need to yell anymore as Zabuza turned his head towards him Naruto noticed a lone tear trying to escape from zaba's eye and his own tears multiplied quote dot dot dot hku was too kind for his own good you also noticed it didn't you that even when he was fighting he couldn't bring himself to kill you and only tried to knock you out Zabuza grimaced and looked up at the sky a Shinobi is still a human being after all and I've just lost everything quote do kid let me borrow your Kai he stated and glanced at Naruto who nodded and tossed him the small weapon when Zabuza jumped towards the bandits and eventually cut off gato's head the ca's chakra slowly started to disappear Kakashi almost wanted to sigh in relief when narut suddenly screamed and fell on the floor unconscious so instead his eyes widened in alarm and he quickly got to him trying to find out what had happened Sensei sasak [ __ ] is alive he's okay he heard Sakura shouting at him from a distance nodding to himself glad that his students survived he found nothing out of the ordinary with the blonde he would almost look asleep if he wasn't wearing that painful expression after the citizens of the village led by Inari tuna's son came in with Kakashi's help scared off the rest of the bandits Kakashi moved Zabuza so that he could look one last time at haku's smiling face before finally succumbing to his injuries it's over Kakashi mumbled tiredly and let himself and his students be carried to tuna's house he next time Naruto woke up was in the middle of the night damn my head hurts and I feel weird he thought and waited till his eyes got used to the darkness when they did he realized that he was back in tuna's house but he had no idea how many days had passed since the battle of the bridge bridge Naruto grimaced when he remembered what had happened in that fight memories of hiku her smile goodbye kiss and his cany in her heart flooded Naruto's mind and he had to fight the urge to vomit I hope that your words were true hku and that you were indeed in a better place you would be happy to know that after everything Zabuza loved you too and you weren't just a simple tool to him blinking trying to get rid of a tear in his eye he sighed after he blacked out at the bridge the only thing he could remember was the fact that every memory that was stored in his mind replayed itself which wasn't very comfortable however it felt like he could finally try to move on from them and not stay like he was up until yesterday trying to bury them in the back of his mind and forced to hide the occasional depression just to fool the rest of the village yes he decided that it was enough of the overly cheerful Naruto that konaha knew it was time for a more collected Uzumaki a Shinobi that will train himself continuously until he'll show everyone just how wrong they were when they tried to kick him out from konaha wait a minute I can think more clearly and I'm even using words that I thought to be too difficult to use in actual speech wo speech never used that word before Naruto widened his eyes a little so I guess the fox didn't lie and he really got rid of those seals the discovery that those seals really existed however saddened and deeply hurt Naruto he never really liked the villagers of konaha along with its Shinobi safe for a few exceptions but this new knowledge was taking away even that small amount of love he held towards konah way I shouldn't think like that well I suppose I should visit the fox and thank him Naruto had never before tried to get inside his mindscape of his own volition but now that he knew it was possible he concentrated and after a few minutes he felt his Consciousness slipping Naruto's mindscape oi CA where are you he yelled as soon as he appeared in the familiar sewers you're loud brat caoi growled tiredly from behind the bars opening one of his eyes when he noticed that narut had an odd expression on his face he came a little bit closer what is it Brad if you hadn't noticed I was sleeping getting rid of that seal without screwing you up was more difficult than I thought it would be but it seems my efforts are bearing fruit you already look less stupid than you did before he grinned showing sharp set of teeth to Naruto hush furball I'm trying to say thanks for getting rid of that seal but it's not that easy as I still kind of resent you narut frowned and raised his head to stare at into ca's eye I don't need your thanks impudent child just do what I told you and get strong enough so that you won't embarrass me as my host the net Tales replied with a twitching eye he didn't appreciate the nickname furball yeah I was already thinking about it h hiu said that she believed I could change things that I could go far and I don't intend to disappoint her as soon as we're back in the village I'll train harder than ever Naruto exclaimed resolve burning in his eyes if I knew that all it would take for you to try and get stronger was a simple kiss I call a stranger caoi smirked but immediately realized his mistake when narut visibly cringed as a bad memory flashed across his mind yeah he agreed numbly ah and there went his resolve the giant Fox thought grimly about your training I'll give you one tip as to how to get stronger even faster he continued instantly getting Naruto's attention really what is it shaking his head at the quick turn of his emotions caoi side you should have realized it by now and maybe it would be better if you thought about it yourself but we've been talking too much lately and I don't want to see you so soon so I'll tell you your Shadow clones narut just raised his eyebrow ignoring the insult what about them don't you think it's interesting that the multiple Shadow clone Jutsu is a forbidden technique would it be that just for the fact that it uses great amounts of chakra no I realized it as soon as you started to use it every experience that each clone accumulates is transmitted back to the original user as soon as the Clone is dispelled think about your chra reserves and that you can create almost a thousand of them caoi stated and waited for the wheels in Naruto's head to spin it took him only a few seconds but when he figured it out he widened his eyes and pointed at the fox a no freaking way that's such an overpowered Jutsu if I use my clones to train I could be on chunin level soon caoi grinned deviously at him indeed do yourself a favor and train especially hard just one more bit of advice don't release your clones all at the same time you could faint from an information overload right now you are weak a lot weaker than the Uchiha Brad at least without using my chakra so train your body train your mind train your chakra control and widen your JSU repertoire those are the main parts that you should concentrate on the rest is on you now go away I want to sleep with that farewell gift caoi crawled further into the cage and lied down you'll see hku I'll do it I'll change the Shinobi ways narut thought with clenched fists and his resolve ignited itself again when Naruto disappeared from his own mindscape caoi finally closed his eyes satisfied with himself now show me what you can do show me that you're not a weakling and earn my respect if you do well enough I may even have a surprise for you Naruto Uzumaki namazi real world when Naruto awoke for the second time light was already piercing Through the Windows brightening the room I see that you are finally with us Naruto I'm glad Kakashi's voice cut through the silence just as narut was about to stand up turning around to face him narut glanced at the rest of the room finding it empty he motioned his Sensei to sit next to him what is it Naruto want to talk about your first kill it's always a bad experience but he trailed off when narut shook his head no Kakashi Sensei I I think I'll be okay H hu was right I needed this sooner or later and it was better to do it when things weren't as dangerous as they could be Kakashi only eyes smiled at him from behind his mask it's almost like he matured during the night no what I wanted to talk about was the fight itself Kakashi Sensei I apologize if I'm being rude but up until now I never thought that you sucked narut stated staring calmly at his teacher Kakashi was taken a back um I suck he repeated after the blonde yes Sensei we only barely made it through this Mission I know that it was supposed to be only C rank originally and now that it has reached a rank we jenin never should have taken it nevertheless you never seriously trained us before with the exception of one training session after you became our Sensei and the tree climbing exercise and it almost cost us our lives Naruto told him grimly and watched as Kakashi frowned but what's done is done I'm not here to yell at you or anything like that I want to ask you if you could point me to what I could train in and I'll Train by myself Sakura is still over the moon about sake so I don't want to train with her in SAS I want to surprise him by becoming stronger than him Kakashi only raised one visible eyebrow at the missing suffix for Sakura inside Naruto you're partly right I never trained you but it's because I honestly thought that you would try to train by yourselves I'm your Sensei but it doesn't mean I'm overlooking everything you three are now Shob be of konaha and getting stronger should be your own responsibility but I should have said something that's true and I know that you and SAS are Rivals but getting stronger than SAS will be hard he is quite far ahead of you he replied rubbing his chin Naruto only grinned cunningly at him don't worry about that I have something that he doesn't have I just need some pointers Kakashi squinted his eye curiously does he mean kayui no he's too young to try and consciously use its chakra doesn't matter the important thing is that he wants to train all right I can assess your strong and weak points but for now let's go eat you've been out of it for 2 days so you should be quite hungry I'm actually surprised you aren't jumping about out of hunger after you're done with your meal meet me in the forest where we did the climbing exercise a small smile crept onto Naruto's face and he nodded enthusiastically sprinting down the stairs to eat breakfast later in the forest Naruto I'll be blunt so try not to get offended Kakashi started as he stared seriously at his student Naruto grimaced but nodded I'll start with your weaknesses your genjutsu is non-existant at the moment and along with your poor chakra control you're susceptible to illusions that can easily knock you out of the game so what you should do first is to improve your chakra control and at least learn how to quickly recognize and dispel Jen Jutsu next is your tautu it's a tad better than Jen Jutsu but still a highlevel jenin could take you down try to find some style that would fit you and master it your kite control is average improve it too maybe you could try to find another type of weapon but that's optional Kakashi listed and narut had to keep himself from sighing he'd expected something like that now the rest your Ninjutsu is good but you have quite a limited Arsenal with your huge chakra reserves you're suited for using many Jutsu in Rapid succession overwhelming your opponent quickly you also have brutal stamina which allows you to go far beyond the limits of not even jenin but most chunin too however even if you have amazing stamina your body is still not trained enough there is a way using weights but that's guy style so you can use gravity seals I bet you've never heard of them but I think it's the best method you can easily buy them back in konaha Kakashi frowned when Naruto suddenly seemed downcast what is it um Sensei W would it be too much trouble if I asked you to buy them for me I'm not welcomed in that particular store Naruto explained widening Kakashi's eye with his statement so those idiots are still blaming him for caubi shaking his head Kakashi reached into his pocket take these I used to use them for myself but they're too L level for me now Naruto looked at him in surprise you give them to me just like that he asked in disbelief well to be honest I wanted to give them to one of you three I was just waiting for the right moment and since nobody mentioned any training I forgot about them Kakashi admitted embarrassed cool narut exclaimed and allowed his Sensei to put them on his limbs forming a single seal Kakashi activated the first level making Naruto's eyes go even wider wao it feels like something heavy is pressing on each of my limbs Naruto stated and tried to move it was hard but after a few minutes he got used to it a little bit this is only the first level there are an additional four of them when you want to raise the level just form a ram seal if you want to release the gravity form an ox seal after you managed to overcome each of these five levels your body should be roughly on high tune and Del John and level so don't think you can do it in a week Kakashi lectured no kidding it'll take me a week to get to the second level is something tells me that clones can't be used for physical training Naruto thought and sat down again last thing I noticed that you seem different since that battle on the bridge more mature and less rash you could even say even smarter but you should also work on your intelligence how to overcome difficult situations that could occur on missions or how to create tactics against your enemy Kakashi continued seriously and to his surprise Naruto nodded blatantly ignoring the jab at his previous Behavior yeah that's actually one of my priorities but I have one question about Ninjutsu I know that there are many types of Jutsu but it seems that most Shinobi can use only Jutsu of one or two types why Kakashi was surprised further I never expected that you'd be the first one to ask about Elemental affinities but it seems you're still unpredictable so listen listen as you probably know there are five basic elements earth water fire wind and lightning every next element is weaker than the previous it means that Earth is weak against lightning but strong against water water is weak against Earth but strong against fire and so on every Shinobi has an affinity to at least one element allowing him easier use of that element he explained and almost smiled when Naruto immediately raised his hand for another question do that that mean that if I have for example an affinity to wind I can use only wind Jutsu no it only means that you can learn how to use them more easily training and hard work can allow you to use more elements creating an artificial Affinity but some elements are out of your reach and you can only use them with limited strength or not at all most Jan can use two some even three elements sufficiently narut nodded trying to remember everything so how do I know what my affinities are he asked in an excited Voice using Kakashi trailed off dramatically and quickly pulled out a piece of paper this um and what's that Naruto's sweat dropped at him sad when he got no reaction from Naruto Kakashi handed him the piece this is special chakra paper that reacts to the chakra you put into it it reacts differently to every element try putting a bit of your chakra into it still skeptical Naruto concentrated and pushed a portion of his chakra into the paper Kakashi whistled when the effects showed on the paper which cut itself into two pieces that slowly crumbled away interesting it seems that you possess two Elemental affinities wind being primary and Earth as secondary most jenon have only one Affinity he nodded in acknowledgement making Naruto's mouth widen in a smile awesome not to mention that strong wind Affinity is very rare I think that in konaha only Asuma has it and with Earth in combination well you have good affinities you can counter four of the elements leaving only fire that can catch you off guard Kakashi eyes smiled at him Naruto only scratched his head in embarrassment he wasn't used to compliments looking at the sky Kakashi nodded to himself well we should slowly head back our mission is still active until tazuna finishes the bridge Naruto looked around and glanced at Kakashi you know what Sensei go ahead without me I'll be right behind you I just want to try something Kakashi only raised his eyebrow and walked away leaving Naruto alone okay I'm quite rested so I can create enough clones to train while we helped to Zuna San I now know the tree climbing but if I recall there was that leaf training back at the Academy that I never tried he thought and formed a seal after the burst of smoke cleared in front of him stood a hundred of his clones well I don't feel that tired good he turned to his clones so listen guys we all want to get stronger so we'll start with chakra control I want you tend to perfect the tree climbing and the rest of you will do the leaf exercise you all know what to do take a leaf put it on your forehead and try to hold it there using only chakra release yourselves always after an hour in a pack of pen okay he stated and waited for the Clones to nod enthusiastically feeling satisfied narut turned away and hurried back in the trees Kakashi widened his eyes and almost wanted to laugh so that's what he meant brilliant I never thought he'd even realize the true use of clones and with his huge chra reserves this training is an excellent choice for him seems like he was right about surprising SAS hey for the next few days Naruto concentrated on trying to get used to the first level of gravity seals so when they returned to konaha he'd be able to raise them to the second level he talked very little with his teammates but they didn't even notice as Sakura was still fussing at sake unsuccessfully trying to get his attention and sake was trying to ignore everyone spending his time thinking about what happened in the Battle on the bridge as soon as they returned to tuna's house after the fight Kakashi told them that Naruto had had his first kill when hiku allowed him to kill her at first when he thought that Naruto was able to beat hiku and then kill her his anger was slowly bubbling but after Kakashi lied a little trying to make things easier for Naruto and said that had wanted to die SAS soon forgot about it instead he focused on trying to get better at activating and deactivating his newly acquired Sharingan even though he was arrogant and egoistical he was still clever enough to realize that hku had beaten him and that rubbed the young uiha the wrong way so his mood worsened and he ignored everyone besides Kakashi thanks to that not him nor even Sakura noticed that Naruto started to behave differently he wasn't so loud anymore and he didn't have any stupid jokes at hand and he hadn't even tried to get soccer's attention that was another thing ever since caoi got rid of the seals allowing Naruto to use his full brain capacity and actually be smart for the first time in his life the blonde was slowly realizing that what has been one-sided Crush for so long was now disappearing at a fast rate allowing him to see the girl in the real light probably for the first time in his life he interpreted the discovery in a way that made him see that what he felt most likely wasn't love in a true sense it was only because he was so desperately trying to get everyone's attention that he always trailed behind Sakura asking her on dates and being around here in general she was so loud and Brash every time she rejected narut that many people noticed it and that was a little bit similar to what Naruto wanted she was something of a life vest something that would help him in times when he felt like drowning in the stairs glares and curses of the villagers when the life seemed too dark and gloomy something he could use in order to Breathe Again to feel like living in a world where somebody noticed him but now he knew better he knew that the best way to catch attention was to get strong reliable and responsible and that was precisely what he was going to do though it's understandable that those fake feelings he held towards Sakura all those years had managed to plant themselves deep into his personality and it would take some time before he would truly know where the girl stood in his life so he immersed himself in training and by the end of the week the training with his clones had paid off and he was able to handle his chakra much better he could now hold the leaf on his forehead for almost half an hour the side effect of his better control was the fact that the amount of chakra it used to cost him to create a 100 clones now allowed him to create almost twice as many greatly expanding his training possibilities two days before they had planned to return to konaha Naruto noted that he was able to move under the first level of gravity seals just as he could without them before so he decided to raise the level on them so just do a ram hand seal okay here we go uff his eyes widened as he felt his legs shaking from the pressure on them it was difficult to even jump a little so without having any other option he stayed in the forest for an hour trying to get used to the pressure so that he could at least walk normally just as he was about to walk back to tuna's house Kakashi emerged from behind a tree I see that you raised the level on the gravity seals and it took you only days very good Naruto he stated giving the jenon a thumbs up kak Kakashi Sensei I hadn't sensed you ahaha yeah I felt like I could go to the second level today but it's loads harder than the first one narut replied embarrassed I think I need to praise him more often it seems like the kid is absolutely not used to it damn you hok Sama and you told me that sensei's son was being taken care of Kakashi thought angrily and nodded that's the point of it each level is harder than the previous and so it will gradually take you more and more time to get used to them just a small warning though every time before you raise your level release the seals and get used to the speed and strength you gain otherwise if you release them only after reaching the final level you'll only be disoriented and won't be able to react properly try to release them and move around a bit he instructed the blonde who immediately formed the ox seal gravity seals release Naruto used and his mouth formed a perfect circle from Surprise wow I feel so much lighter he exclaimed and tried to Sprint forward reaching the tree in front of him in a matter of seconds almost crashing into it with a wide grin he jumped at Kakashi aiming a punch which was stopped with a palm block ow Kakashi yelped unprepared for the strike I didn't think his arm strength would increase this much with only one level that must mean that even before his punch must have packed some strength he thought in Surprise this is amazing but also crazy if this is what it's like after only one level you must be crazy strong when you want to Kakashi Sensei narut looked at his teacher with respect Kakashi smiled behind his mask it's good to know that even if you're getting stronger you're not also becoming self-centered he stated making Naruto grin at him not a chance I'm not SAS back at konaha I can't believe they would name their Bridge after Naruto k Sashi thought his mouth still twitching in Amusement as it had ever since their departure from wave I can't believe they wouldn't name their Bridge after sasun Sakura thought still angry about the whole thing I can't believe they would name their Bridge after me Naruto thought flabbergasted hmph was all that SAS thought on the matter as the four of them stood in front of the hokagay after reporting the details of the mission even though Naruto was still surprised that the villagers had named their Bridge the great Naruto Bridge he couldn't have protested days before their departure when Naruto was just walking around aimlessly he'd accidentally wandered across gd's past Hideout where he found a noteworthy amount of money quickly alerting to Zuna and the villagers he refused when they tried to give him some of it and instead he let them have all of it saying your country needs it more than I do which of course earned him cries of gratitude and eventually the name of the bridge in the hok tower Kona has leader pinched the bridge of his nose I see so G was behind the whole thing it was dangerous for you to continue with the mission anyway Kakashi but nevertheless I'm pleased that you did all of you will of course receive the proper payment for an a rank Mission as I can easily say that that mission was indeed in a rank dismissed Kakashi stay behind please serut toi here is an ordered and watched as the trio of jenin slowly left so I believe there is something you wanted to tell me besides the official report Kakashi he said and leaned forward in his chair yes during the battle on the bridge Naruto managed to tap into cao's Power Kakashi replied earning wide eyes from the Hokage how did he break monado's seal he asked a bit pale no the seal is fine his anger and grief at the potential loss of a teammate probably triggered something in the seal allowing him to tap into the cao's chakra I'm inclined to say that it was probably sensei's plan I don't think he would Place caoi into his son without giving him a chance to use its power sometime Kakashi explained the hokagay nodded inside in relief that's good but I also noticed that something is different about Naruto do you really think that his first kill would change him so drastically he wondered and when Kakashi looked away gulp with a guilty expression I'm not sure Hokage Sama but whatever happened it did him only good he seems to think more clearly more maturely and most of all he's determined to be the best Shinobi in konaha and frankly I'm giving him a few years and you'll do it Kakashi said seriously earning a curious glance from the Hokage and what makes you say that I know that he has it in his jeans but he still needs to train very hard he seems to be a little behind the rest of the genin Kakashi shook his head sadly that's only because he never had anyone who would train him seeing the doubtful EX on the hokage's face he continued I suspect that the instructors in the academy ignored him and never taught him anything which is the second thing I want to talk about but later so as I said he was probably ignored and nobody explained to him how things work yet despite that and despite his huge chakra reserves which made his chakra control go Haywire he managed to succeed at tree climbing in the same amount of time SAS did and don't forget SAS already had better chakra control small reserves and is considered to be a prodigy the hokagay only smiled and lit up his pipe that's good to hear but he still has a long way to go Kakashi grinned at him suddenly making the hok wary I bet you that he'll be able to win in the next tunin exams if they'll really be postponed 3 months with wide eyes the hokagay almost dropped his pipe how he's realized the potential of his shadow clones a the hok yelled and jumped up pointing his finger at Kakashi that's how I can get rid of this damn paperwork he announced making Kakashi sweat drop um not to be rude but I thought you'd think of that sooner sir Hokage scratched his chin and grimaced oh well but I can't use it lightly with my old age so Naruto will train using Shadow clones a I see considering his large chakra reserves yes I agree by the time the tunin exams come he'll be a lot stronger but don't you think you should have told him about the mental stress of overusing them he asked worriedly Kakashi only waved his hand no heun be good the kid's sturdy as hell he'll be okay besides I showed him what he should concentrate on by the way he has two Elemental affinities that got the hokage's attention and he put his hat down scratching his head really to surprising for a genenet indeed his primary Affinity is wind with secondary Earth Kakashi said in looked at the hok knowly wind assuma will be pleased to know that there is someone else besides him with that the hok smiled sadly it had been a long time since his son had come to visit him as a member of a family and not as a Shinobi now that that is out of the table hok Sama I'd like to talk about Naruto's childhood why would the instructors in the academy try to sabotage his education why does he sometimes seem like he has been through hell and why does he look like he's never been praised before Kakashi leaned forward an evil chakra forming around him oh boy the Hokage gulped and with a small movement of his hand he called off his uo guard he didn't want them to see the humiliation he would get the likes of which he probably deserved with narut falling on his bed and listing everything that he planned to learn in the next few months for the first time in the past few years Naruto truly smiled he was going to get stronger he was going to show everyone just who Naruto Zaki was he was going to kick sake's ass and he was going to keep his promise to hku when Naruto woke up the following morning he sported a small smile on his face this is it it's the beginning of the new Naruto today marks the day when I'm leaving the old Naruto behind just you wait konaha number one unpredictable ninja will show you just what he can do the sleep in his own bed did him wonders and he was feeling rested and fresh eager to explore the new possibilities he quickly changed into his orange jumpsuit and prepared a light breakfast for himself while he was eating in the kitchen his mind was running through many things he wanted to try and learn however with his new ability to think clearly he also realized that even with his army of clones becoming a Ninja on par with Kakashi or Hokage was still a long and painful Road yes he was in possession of a chei in form of cage bunchin but since he actually paid attention to what caoi told him he knew that he couldn't overuse the technique being the Forbidden Jutsu it had its drawbacks and the increased mental stress was the worst thing for Naruto right now just over a week ago his brain was working on low capacity and even if caoi broke the seal it would take some time for his brain to adapt in overloading it with information influx from his clones would be suicide no he needed to heed ca's words and take things slowly I guess for now I'll focus on the things I need most slurping the rest of the noodles he propped his head on his hand and concentrated on the most important thing where the hell should I train Naruto wanted to keep his new training regimen a secret from the rest of his peers from the rest of the konaha his new skills were meant to be a surprise so training at the usual spot was out of the question what is a place that nobody goes near that is remote enough and has enough room for me in my clones to train a small light bulb lit up above his head he punched the palm of his left hand with his right fist of course the forest of death his grin slowly faded when he realized what he said shrugging he finished his meal and cleaned the table well I can't be scared if I want to become a real Shinobi with that thought he emerged from his small apartment heading towards the abandoned Forest outskirts of the forest of death as he was nearing his destination Naruto thought of one thing the forest of death could very well serve as a dangerous form of survival survival training aside from practicing Jutsu as there was probably only a handful of people that would willingly go into the forest do but maybe later right now it would be a stupid thing to do I'm still barely a genine level ninja even if I have caubi in my belly it would be pointlessly dangerous also my clones would get dispelled too quickly they don't possess high durability after a few more minutes wandering through the outer part of the place he found a small clearing just before the fence that was surrounding the forest of death preventing civilians from entering it by accident inspecting the place he repeatedly nodded to himself smiling lightly Yep this will do just as he went to create his clones to start training he heard a familiar quiet noise and with wide eyes he rolled to the ground barely dodging a canai that flew by him who's there he yelled after standing back up holding his own canai in defense so much for a remote place he gulped when he felt a cold steel of a canai pressed against his neck and a voice from behind him well well well what do we have here a brat with deliciously smelling blood him why are you here kid don't you know why this place got its name Forest of death a young sounding feminine voice hissed quietly into his ear shivering slightly from the feel of breath on his skin Naruto scoffed trying to sound Brave yeah I know what this place is I've been here before an amused SM SM came from behind him as the canai slowly trailed his vein oh D tell why would a kid end up in here Naruto clenched his fist apparently recalling something not pleasant what's the better place to run to when villagers are trying to kill you it's just the right place for a demon right you can also drop that canai I've been threatened too much to be scared by it he replied Snidely and felt the hand with a canai slowly drop before a laughter filled his ear bahaha you almost got me kid for a second there I almost believed you the blonde sighed in resignation too cliche no you just suck at acting when you lie your brow cutely creases however you're that kid so you probably met with some sort of nasty reactions from the idiots in the village Naruto snorted and turned around to see a young kunoichi staring at him with a small frown she was most likely a woman in her 20s with purple hair tied into a short spiky fan ponytail Naruto had to avoid looking at her torso in embarrassment as she was wearing only a mesh shirt with an Overcoat on it barely covering her developed bust and an orange miniskirt registering what she said he tilted his head that kid so you know about the about my tenant he asked before he could stop himself she mirrored his reaction and snorted loudly while shaking her head of course I know most of the Jan and even chunin know about it a slightly shocking Revelation forced Naruto to silence loudly peef and it's supposed to be a secret yeah right he mumbled irritated so then you probably know my name Uzumaki narut but who are you he continued the woman grinned widely and pointed at herself me I'm midari anko the sexy torture and interrogation kunoichi the devilish toab betsu Janan of konaha and one of the best kunoichi of this Village she yelled with a wink Naruto's sweat dropped at her forcing her to pout with crossed arms um okay midari San I don't mean to be rude but I've already wasted too much time as it is so you know could you leave now he asked with a twitching eye she gasped theatrically and resolutely shook her head what you don't enjoy my company I'm hurt but if you'll call me midi San again you'll be the one that's going to be hurt anco stated with a threatening voice but still grinning oh come on she's so annoying Nar mind in his mind if you want me to call you midari Sama then forget it he grimaced at her no anko is enough anko sand then sighing she raised one eyebrow and folded her hands under her breasts unconsciously raising them a bit so what are you doing here kid this really isn't a place for a jenin and I assume you are a jenin with that forehead protector you're wearing contemplating about revealing his intentions to train Here Naruto went silent for a moment however finding nothing bad about it he Shrugged yeah I made jennen and I came here because I was looking for a nice remote place to train myself before you ask no I don't want to train with the rest of my team as we barely trained at all until now anko raised her second eyebrow you're telling me that your John and Sensei hasn't taught you anything he hasn't trained you who's your Sensei she asked in disbelief well he taught us tree walking his name is haki Kakashi Naruto retorted in watched in confusion when the kunoichi in front of him started to laugh she quickly raised her hand and wiped a small tear from the corner of her eye oh sorry about that but damn you got some bad luck getting Kakashi no wonder you want to train waiting for her laughing fit to end Naruto kicked the dirt in irritation giving me those gravity seals and some advice just saved you from me agreeing with her Kakashi sensei okay I get it kid you know what since I know Kakashi's reputation I'll give you a bit of free advice if you want anko offered him after finally calming down if what I hear is true the kid needs a little help a I already see him doubting me thanks to those morons in the village he must have been ostracized for a long time yeah I know how that feels kid she thought grimly but outwardly she kept a happy expression Naruto squinted his eyes not counting hok Ruka and Kakashi nobody had ever never given him advice before not to mention voluntarily that's why he was suspicious anko let him stare at her still grinning at him well she is a Jan maybe she can actually help a what the hell I have nothing to lose Here Naruto thought about it and after a moment he nodded anko's smile widened further good for you kid with that she started to Circle him analyzing every detail on his attire nodding to herself it took Naruto by surp surprise as he was baffled by her actions um what are you doing he asked confused whistling quietly she nodded once again I'm observing if you're willing to train here with Forest of death behind your ass it means that you're at least serious with your training and that's a good thing however if you want to be also taken seriously you need to change your clothes orange is like screaming at your enemies at the top of your lungs come and kill me it does have a nice amount of pockets and looks comfortable but but a respectable ninja should wear something different anko explained Naruto pointed at her and asked with a small hint of amusement in his voice and your clothes are good for a Shinobi with a small chuckle anko raised her finger and wagged it at him for a Shinobi definitely not for a kunoichi absolutely a seeing his confusion anko spun around revealing the lightly transparent mesh shirt and forcing Naruto to look elsewhere this is the answer anko stated um your clothes are good for a kunoichi because your boobs are showing narut blurted out without thinking and then blushed after realizing what he said it only widened anko's grin close enough kid what did you do when I spun myself you averted your gaze which is by the way cute of you but if you were my enemy and you done the same you'd already be dead so a diversion Naruto asked looking at the ground with Pink Cheeks yes partly however something like this can't affect more skilled Shinobi but these clothes are even showing my body it's good for seduction and that sometimes comes in handy when you're Mission requires for you to get close to your target a civilian Target anko replied honestly that answer left Naruto with bad taste in his mouth when he realized that in the future his female peers like sakur or Eno who is Sakura's best friend would maybe need to seduce their targets anko noticed his disgusted Grimace and waved her hand don't think about it kid when you'll be older you'll be able to think about it more clearly but right now time for my advice get rid of your orange clothes and get the following she trailed off when an amused smirk played on her lips get yourself a standard Kahan nin uniform meaning dark blue or black pants and a mesh shirt with a suit in corresponding colors flag jacket on top of it and blue or black sandals can you afford it she continued and after listing all of the items she looked expectantly at Naruto who was deep in thought can I afford it yeah just tell the store owners to offer me the same price they offer the rest of the konah Shinobi and I'm good they are as mean as the instructors in Academy if only I could send someone else to do the shopping wait Academy someone else a foxy grin appeared on his face that's it I can use hen for any kind of shopping now that my chakra control is better I'm confident I can hold it until I'm done with the shopping hey he looked up at o who was still watching him and frowned not to be as smarty pants but aren't such colors as bad as my orange jumpsuit I mean I will still be visible in a forest or in a similar environment anko Shrugged maybe but other Shinobi will respect you more if you wear clothes like the others and not this excuse for clothes no offense none taken waiting for him to nod she tilted her head until he grinned you're probably right I think I'll manage thanks ankoan yeah yeah no biggie she exclaimed rubbing her head in embarrassment being the former student of Oro chimaru one of the three legendary sandon that betrayed his village anko wasn't used to being thanked just as narut wasn't used to getting free advice winking at the jenin she flared her chakra and disappeared in a shunin Naruto blinked at the sudden smoke in front of him and whistled quietly damn I need to learn that too after walking to the center of the clearing he molded the needed chakra for his signature Jutsu multi-shadow clone Jutsu he said and with a popping sound aund Naruto clones appeared filling his new training area narut turned to his clones that were calmly awaiting his orders and called out to them okay guys here's how it's going to go I need to go buy new clothes and after that our team will probably go do some d rank mission in the meantime you will do the following pointing to 10 closest clones he nodded to them you P will henge into some random konah Shinobi create your own design it doesn't matter how it'll look but it should be plain so that you would be forgettable I want you to go to the konaha library where you'll split up I have two Elemental affinities wind and Earth so I want you to find some low rank Jutsu for each of the element since my biggest asset is large chakra reserves why shouldn't I use it to my advantage if I have numerous Jutsu in my repertoire I can simply overwhelm my opponents with the amount of Jutsu all spit on them when you're sure you've read enough about the Jutsu and you've memorized the hand seals dispel so that the rest of the Clones can try to learn them that would be a job for three clones the other seven find some useful books on chakra control Elemental control military strategy whatever catches your eyes and find out how to do the damn shunin it's way too cool for me to not learn it read until you can hold the henge and after that dispel quietly go he w watched as the 10 chosen clones nodded and ran to the Village originally he wanted them to henge into civilians but after thinking about it for a moment he changed his mind Shinobi had more privileges in this Village than any civilian and they would be allowed into more sections of the library not to mention that the librarian that worked there never bothered konah has Shinobi and as soon as he saw the forehead protector he let them pass without asking unnecessary questions it meant that konah his Library had a poor security which could end badly but right now it played in Naruto's cards perfectly glancing at the rest of his army of clones he rubbed his chin the rest of you until you have the memories of those three clones practice canite throwing as our aim is only slightly above average so no marooning tautu Ninjutsu jinjutsu intelligence strength speed stamina and the speed of forming the hand seals all of it must get refined without the ca's chakra we are only a jenin and a weak one at that I'm no fool and I'm sure that SAS could beat our ass that will change he trailed off and cracked his neck joints he pointed at the large group of clones 3940 okay you 40 will focus on the Jutsu from the Clones which would take care of the Ninjutsu part Naruto stated and motioned them to separate from the others 30 of you will Spar in Tai Jutsu until I can find some particular style of fighting I know that I can't use clones for physical training but reaction time is more of Mind strength than the physical one quote he watched as another group separated itself and he adopted a thinking pose H that leaves 20 clones I don't think I will be able to learn some highlevel jutu like ever at least not with my chakra reserves but the better chakra control the better chance I may be able to do some low-level ones or be able to dispel them that's why 10 of you will concentrate on chakra control to try and improve it what about us a clone from the last group consisting of 10 clones asked loudly chewing on his lip Naruto squinted his eyes I can work on intelligence mostly only by reading stuff in the library or by getting experiences in the field on missions strength speed and stamina those three will get better with me wearing this gravity seals while I'm doing virtually any movements and only I the original can improve them the only thing that is left is the speed of forming the hand seals and maybe throwing canai H well five of you go over any hand sealed to try and speed up their forming and the other five practice throwing Kai until you run out of the chakra the group of clones nodded and five of them immediately sat down closed their eyes and were slowly going over the hand seals just before he exited the area Naruto stopped in his tracks and quickly turned around oh yeah and don't forget one thing when some of you run out of chakra always always dispel only in groups of 10 never more I don't need a splitting headache and with that he was on his way to the Village konaha emerging from a small clothes shop was a short kid with short brown hair and a grin that went from his left ear to the one on his right in his hands were two bags full of new clothes jacket suit flag jacket pants sandals shirts mesh shirt and more were safely tucked in as he got to the corner of the shop spotting a dark alley the boy looked around and seeing nobody suspicious he quickly jumped in when he was sure he was completely hidden the boy was suddenly surrounded in a small cloud of smoke that after a moment revealed a chuckling Naruto in his orange jumpsuit a yeah Mission clothes shopping with fair prices successful he carefully dropped the bags and took out the clothes anko told him to buy with a wide smile nodding appreciatively he changed into them H for shobi attired this is actually quite comfortable as per enko's advice Naruto bought standard konah hanen uniforms the only thing that forced him to stay longer in the shop was the choosing between the colors since he couldn't decide he bought a black set and a dark blue set choosing the latter to wear right now his flag jacket was however a different design than the one Kakashi wore since the shop clerk told him that Shinobi in konaha usually got their flag jackets after becoming a chunin that's why the one he currently wore was so different different taking the bags into his hands he turned to leave when he remembered the orange jumpsuit lying on the ground behind him he frowned when he set his sight on it I can't take it back to my apartment they're the clothes the old Naruto wore slightly grimacing he picked the jumpsuit and walked to the nearby trash bin to throw it away however his hand trembled a little just before he dropped it in this is the first thing the old man gave me after I entered the academy he angrily wiped the small tail in his eye pathetic I call myself a Shinobi and I cry at this it's just clothes single quote clenching his jaw after he threw the jumpsuit away he turned around grabbed the bags and resolutely hurried to his apartment after he placed the clothes into the drawer Naruto checked the clock and cursed damn it I should have been at the training grounds already just as he was reaching to the door knob he glanced at the mirror he was passing by and froze it was his first time seeing himself in his new clothes another time his first reaction would probably be that he looked damn good however in that moment his legs buckled under him and he fell on his butt I I know someone who looks just like this it's the man on the picture the old man keeps in his office the fourth hok he wanted to smile that he looked just like his Idol when a myriad of thoughts connections that tied up the loose ends in His Head Links between the information in his brain ran through his mind like a most destructive Jutsu completely eradicating his beliefs am I am I the son of the fourth Hokage widening his eyes at the Ridiculousness of that thought alone he tried to reboot his poor brain but it would make sense when I think about it I already know that the caubi was sealed in me on the day I was born when caoi attacked the fourth Hokage died doing it which would explain why I never had a father or even why I never heard anyone mentioning him but what about my mom a cruel thought crept on his mind did she leave me after the caui was sealed into me did she view me just like the rest of the konah does like a demon he shook his head violently no I refuse to believe it the only other explanation would be that she died along with the fourth but I never heard that he had a wife damn he punched the floor but if he was my dad why would he seal the caoi in me in his own son with an angry snarl he tried to pull out every bit of knowledge in his brain he had on the nor Hokage think think what was said about him yeah I remember he was hailed as a genius a prodigy of his generation the term that is by the way handed out too Loosely these days a Shinobi like nobody else he was strong fast and intelligent but for his whole life he stayed as he was when he was a kid he stayed kind gentle and thoughtful always treating the rest of his peers and his friends without looking down on them the whole village loved him his Shinobi respected him kids and adored him and he cared about them too it's one of the reasons he became my idol in the first place he was still a human being having no cruelty in him aside maybe from the battlefield if I try really really hard to think about it I can't see him just use the first orphan he could lay his hands on for sealing the caoi he wouldn't put a stranger not to mention a child through something that cruel if he didn't have some other motive for it is it possible that he thought that the village would do something he thought was only iCal that the village would view me as a simple Jailer holding his demon prisoner at Bay that they would view me as somebody that actually protected them from caubi gritting his teeth he allowed a tear to drop on his hand but even knowing this knowing that his actions saved konaha from utter destruction I can't bring myself to forgive him for it I was able not to think about it since Mizuki told me about me that day when I stole the Forbidden scroll but if he really is if the fourth hok really is my dad it only hurts more if it's true and I'd meet him in this moment I don't think I'd be able to forgive him he wiped the tear and lay down trying not to think about anything for a moment trying to empty his mind huh there is too much that I don't know or that I'm not sure about but I think I can be sure of one thing it doesn't matter if the fourth was my dad or not he was a genius a person that never did anything without a plan that tells me one thing suddenly forcing himself to St stand up Naruto squeezed his fists it tells me that the fourth hok sealed the caoi in me thinking that one day I'd be able to harvest its power for good in case I'm right about him being my father I still don't know why the old man never said anything about him or what the location of my mom is or if she's even still alive I'll try to find out about this on my own until Hokage Gigi decides to tell me but until then I have a promise to fulfill something clicked in his mind huh now that I think about it why would hokagay Gigi take care of me if I was some random orphan kid yes he is a kind old man but it would make more sense if it was because of who was my dad his successor on the other hand maybe he did it because I'm holding the caoi in me on the yet another hand maybe I'm overthinking this Eno and the yamanaka clan for example are blonde I may very well be related to them just as I can be related to the fourth this being his son is just my wishful thinking but still ARG enough breathing steadily trying to calm his emotions down he emerged from his apartment and headed to the training ground reserved for team 7 he was still deeply focusing on his breathing so he didn't even notice that his surroundings changed and that he arrived at the training grounds so the thing that actually woke him up from his musings was a loud yell you're late stupid Naruto we've been here with Sask aun for almost half an hour Naruto grimaced as her voice echoed in his ears hurting his eardrum he rubbed them and with a frown glanced at the girl calm down Sakura shees do you want me to lose my hearing before Sakura could retort an angry snarl sasak interrupted her with a bored question what's with the clothes Doby you're finally trying to look like a Shinobi after he mentioned it Sakura actually tried to get a look at Naruto with raised eyebrows surprising sake with his calm demeanor Naruto turned to him with a small smirk you said it Tomo eyes SAS unusually widened his eyes a bit and with a small smirk of his own he nodded appraising l y about time hmph he grunted With No Malice in his voice Naruto Shrugged light-heartedly and walked to the nearest tree slumping down while humming a quiet Melody Sakura was looking between the two boys with horror on her face no way did stupid Naruto just get acknowledged by sasak aun but they hate each other thought with wide eyes heun's trying to get friendly with sasak gun we have to do it before him Chaw her inner self declared resolutely so with that Sakura spent the next half hour trying to get sas's attention and failing miserably Naruto glanced a few times at The Duo thinking lightly wow now that my head is clear I can in fact see the frustration in sake's eyes he's not angry at Sakura nor is he irritated by her gibberish he completely tuned her out and he doesn't hear even a word of what she's saying it seems that what he said is true and his only goal really is just getting stronger so that he could kill that person he's still a jerk but a jerk with a strong resolve sitting next to Sakura sasak was surprisingly thinking something similar well it looks like the Doby is trying to be a proper Shinobi he's calmer more levelheaded than before but that won't be enough hm if he'll show some actual Improvement he may stop holding me back he glanced at the girl next to him animatedly talking about some nonsense and side without her noticing if only this idiot would get it through her big forehead she was almost useless on our mission in Wave Country in that moment Naruto slightly jerked the three clones from the library dispelled themselves sending their memories to the rest of the Clones and to the original H so what do we got I see wind release great breakthrough Jutsu and wind release Gail pom Jutsu both C ranked offensive techniques interesting though only C ranked these Jutsu strength can increase by applying more chakra useful very useful and since I'm still a jenin even a c rank would be quite impressive for a starter what next ah two more for Earth release double suicide decapitation Jutsu and Earth Shore return JSU first one a supplementary technique while the second is defensive makes sense I can use wind element for it attack and Earth element to defend it's logical both are no the decapitation Jutsu is d rank oh I remember that one Kakashi pulled it off on SAS during our belt test Earth Shore Jutsu is C Rank and whoa what the hell his eyes showed surprise when he came across the next memory from the Clones Fire release great Fireball Jutsu a c rank technique why would the Clone read about this I don't have a fire Affinity I mean Kakashi Sensei said that it isn't impossible to learn Jutsu of the elemental Affinity you don't possess but it's still tiresome suddenly a small chuckle escaped his mouth fortunately the rest of the team couldn't hear it oh I get it this JSU is commonly used by members of the U Clan who used this Jutsu as a coming of age right he if I can actually learn this I bet my new pants that SAS will explode as he thought more about it his Chuckles became full-blown laughter finally getting saker's attention she stopped her babbling and turned to Naruto looking at him as if he was crazy what's up with that idiot laughing his ass off like an asylum patient a moment before Kakashi finally appeared one thought went through her mind while looking at narut now that I think about it the stupid narut called me Sakura and not sakur a Chan yo Kakashi greeted them jovially forgetting about Naruto Sak snapped and yelled again you're late Kakashi Sensei the Jan waved his hands exaggeratedly ma ma no need to yell I just stumbled across an old lady that needed my help to carry her groceries and when I finished that a black cat crossed my path so I had to take an alternate route he was rambling until Sakura yelled at him again well I do appreciate a good excuse being a main konaha prankster Kakashi Sensei we could have already been done with the mission narut called out to him while slowly getting up oh now that's where you're being mistaken as our next mission will take longer Kakashi trailed off when he noticed Naruto's new look and his only visible eye widened Sensei he whispered barely audibly for anyone to hear unfortunately Naruto caught it and clenched his jaw Sensei so he was a student of the fourth hok it must be there wasn't anyone that looked like me in this Village when Kakashi Sensei was still a genin so I have a new piece of the puzzle he thought are you all right Kakashi Sensei Sakura asked the JN and instructor tentatively hastily shaking his head Kakashi broke out of his surprise and I smiled at Sakura yeah sure nice outfit Naruto so about this Mission we are going to help a farmer at the edge of the village with he explained the details of the mission to the jenin however his thoughts were elsewhere I don't know who told him to buy this particular set of clothes but he's now almost a splitting image of manado Sensei if the rest of the konah Shinobi see him most of them will probably instantly realize who he is and I'm not sure that it's that of a great idea Kakashi thought with a hint of uneasiness in his stomach everyone missed sake's raised eyebrow Sensei what did he mean by that in the evening Naruto was jumping across the village in the direction of where his new place for training was grumbling all the way Kakashi took a d ranked mission for them that consisted of helping a simple farmer with plowing his soil harvesting the planted vegetables and more manual labor which left the whole team quite tired even Naruto himself felt the fatigue on top of it Kakashi prohibited him from using his shadow clones to help them with the mission it was as if the man knew that Naruto already had some clones training elsewhere and didn't want to overwork the jennin in the end Naruto almost had to thank him as when his clones that were training to spell he felt even more tired never before had he felt it when he used his shadow clones in a fight I guess that until now my clones got dispelled in fights too quickly so they couldn't have gathered any kind of experience which is the root of my exhaustion I still have enough chakra it's my mind that's tired arriving at his new remote training place he sported a big grin but I'm very much interested in how much progress my clones made huh so that's where that clones Jutsu exploded looks nasty nasty his eyes scanned the small devastated area at the edge of the clearing where one of his clones got dispelled after failing to execute one of the Jutsu resulting in a small explosion shuttering at the thought of having the Jutsu blasting in his face he exhaled deeply and ran over the hand seals for the first Jutsu in his head tiger ox dog rabbit snake single quote after forming every hand seal he raised his hands with Palms directed at the trees and exclaimed wind release great breakthrough a he sweat dropped when instead of a huge gust of wind that should have blown off every leaf on the tree in front of him a light Breeze emerged from his hands barely shaking the tree branches a crap I should have known that it would be too much to know how to do a c rank Jutsu perfectly just after a day even with my shadow clones it just stresses how much work I have ahead of me and just how poor my chakra control still is he glanced at the palms of his hands and grimace one more try with more chakra he thought stubbornly and formed the necessary hand seals wind release great breakthrough when the tree branches bended themselves against the sudden gust of wind Naruto tiredly smiled and nodded that's better on to the next one okay pump my chakra and clap my hands then release the pressure in them forward wind release gaale pal a weak Gale flew from Naruto's position forcing the leaves on the tree to flutter scratching his head the jenin was thinking furiously I see great breakthrough is to blow the enemies away creating an opening to strike them while Gail pal seems to be more isolated like it's meant only to be used against one opponent it consumes a lot less chakra than the first Jutsu so it's safe to say that it should serve more as a supplementary Jutsu but what should it supplement he accidentally brushed a canai in his pouch with his left hand making him suddenly slap his forehead of of course it's so obvious damn I'm dumb Naruto sighed as he pulled out a few of his canai aiming at the more distant tree he threw his canai and immediately after that he clapped his hands and shouted pumping more chakra into his arms wind release Dale pom he smirked victoriously when the slightly stronger force of his Jutsu increased the speed at which his canai flew forcing them to plunge a little deeper into the wood good that's all for this Jutsu so the remaining ones are Earth Jutsu and one fire Jutsu he wiped the sweat from his brow and concentrated on the next technique striking the ground with his hands full of chakra Naruto looked up awaiting a large wall of Earth in front of him dot dot dot only to see a thin barely holding barrier that would most likely shatter if he so much as sneezed at it more sweat appeared on his brow and he guled this will be tough an hour later Naruto was laying on the ground heavily panting from overexerting himself while trying to correctly execute his new Jutsu it took him a lot of attempts and a lot of chakra to at least form a wall that could hold against a light gust of wind without crumbling down he succeeded and to his Joy managed to perform Earth release double suicide decapitation Jutsu quite nicely on his third try his fingers still hurt a little when doing the JSU meaning that his execution of the technique wasn't nearly perfect but still it was already usable the fact that it was a dranked Jutsu didn't break nut's excitement the fact that he completely failed at his attempts to perform Fire release great Fireball Jutsu however did even after trying it over and over and after spending so much chakra that even somebody as sturdy as Naruto Uzumaki got exhausted he only managed to create a smoking cloud in front of him that he almost choked on so there he was sprawled on the ground trying to catch his breath there was only one thing on mind damn I'm beat gravity seals Shadow clones training doing Missions at the same time I think I can endure it for about a week before my head explodes and it'll be a long painful week 3 days later the next few days flew by in high speed that Naruto spent in the same routine get to his training place create a 100 Shadow clones send 10 of them in a henge to the library to Snuff out some new information knowledge he didn't have before and leave the rest of them to train he the original then did an obligatory Mission with his team and in the evening after reporting in tried to perform the Jutsu to see how much he improved to his frustration the progress was slow even with the help of his clones which was greatly undermining his confidence if he was doing so badly with his shadow clones how bad would he be without them his anger got the best of him and yesterday morning Naruto decided that it was time to kick it up a notch and created 200 clones thinking that the difference would show itself it did by creating the most painful headache he'd ever had until that evening after his clones finally dispelled when the Clones started to dispel in groups it was going smoothly but after the last one puffed out of the existence The Joint experiences overloaded his recovering brain and made even the caoi yell at Naruto after he dived into his mindscape the fox itself felt the effects of Naruto's headache and they manifested in his mind as catastrophic weather that was sending bolts of lightning at the caubi greatly infuriating it when Naruto with an amused expression after seeing cao's fur Fluffy from the electricity said that he couldn't understand why his headache manifested as a storm the nine-tailed fox roared at him and threatened to never help him again while Naruto was already smarter than before he wasn't arrogant to think that cao's rare help wouldn't help him to get stronger so he begrudgingly promised never to use more than 100 Shadow clones for for his training or until the fox deemed it safe for his brain that's why this morning Naruto woke up slightly tired the effects of the previous day still showing his only luck was that today his team wasn't going on any missions as Kakashi was busy with something for the hokagay deciding that he would postpone the start of his training until he was feeling better that day Naruto ate his breakfast and was now sprawled across his bed thinking why do I suck so much at my new Jutsu Earth element is my second affinity and I can do earth Jutsu already better than wind ones but wind is my main Affinity what am I doing wrong if only I could ask Hokage Gigi Naruto's eyes shot wide and he hastily got up right Kakashi mentioned that there is one person in this Village that has a wind Affinity too assuma San I heard old man talking about him it's his son and konah hamaru Uncle and he's shikamaru's JN and Sensei maybe he could give me some pointers there's no point in refus Ching to find a help when I clearly need one with a hopeful smile Naruto sprinted out of his apartment heading towards shikamaru's favorite Cloud watching spot hoping that the lazy Naro would be there with his Sensei with Shikamaru am man those clouds are so lucky they only have to float from one place to another if only I could do it but no we have to train would a drag the Nara Offspring sighed heavily and bit on the small stock of grass he held in his mouth ever since asumas seru Toby picked up his team and became its JN and instructor Shikamaru was forced more often than he liked to participate in Shinobi training while he knew that with Shinobi work came responsibilities and many dangers that could potentially kill him for now he was content with being a lowly jenin and doing ad at most AC ranked missions which held only minimal risk oi Shikamaru don't you want to play another round of shogi assuma called out to the jenin Shikamaru sighed again man since he gave me that IQ test he's so content on playing the shogi with me that I have no time to just watch the clouds a shadow that suddenly hovered above him made Shikamaru open his eyes in curiosity he came face to face with Naruto who was grinning at him and raised an eyebrow yo Shikamaru what's up Naruto greeted him oh it's Naruto Troublesome with a minimal movement a lazy genius nodded to him acknowledging his presence hey narut what are you doing here I thought you were supposed to be on a mission Naruto shook his head no we have a free day and I actually came to talk with your Sensei assuma San this got shikamaru's attention and the jenin slowly sat and stared at his former classmate why shooting a big grin at him Naruto raised his finger that's a secret Shikamaru only side and didn't Pursuit the question further he closed his eyes again but when nut's Shadow didn't move for a moment he blinked and noticed that the blonde was looking at him with some sort of Silent question in his eyes what Naruto pointed behind him where Asuma was talking to the rest of his team shoi and Eno you realize that I never met your Sensei so could you introduce me to him with a sigh Shikamaru lazily got up mumbling Troublesome all the while when they walked over to the group Shikamaru called out to his instructor assuma San this Troublesome blonde wants to talk to you his name is uz Uzumaki narut I know Asuma interrupted his student after a quick glance at shikamaru's friend both of them raised their eyebrows in silent question Asuma only waved his hand Kakashi often talks about you Naruto it's actually very surprising coming from him he rarely has students he really likes Kakashi Sensei talks about me Naruto thought in Surprise nice clothes by the way they suit you better than your old ones Asuma continued and lit his cigarette with a small frown I guess this answers the question of why Kakashi likes him he really looks like the mini yandi I'm surprised that more people haven't connected the dots already I'm sure that I would have guessed it even without dad telling it to me he thought and sucked on his cigarette hey Naruto how's it going want some snack Choi greeted the former knucklehead warmly but before the latter could answer Eno interrupted them why is stupid Naruto here she snapped before he could defend himself Eno's eyes widened and she almost grabbed his shoulders you left forehead with sasun Eno yelled a pure Horror in her eyes I'm sure he has a reason so you wanted to talk to me assuma quickly shot Eno a warning stare that forced her to sit back down although with a huge frown finally having a room to talk Naruto dismissed Eno's ranting even though it hurt him to hear that some of his old classmates still clearly hated him yes I wanted to talk to you but um could we talk in private it's kind of a secret narut asked and shot an apologizing glance at Choi who only chuckled Asuma on the other hand curiously raised his eyebrow seeing Naruto pointing his eyes at the near tree he sighed and followed the jenin so he leaned on the tree and exhaled a cloud of smoke to his right a surprise awaited him when narut switched from his previously cheery attitude to a serious look I heard from Kakashi Sensei that you're the only one beside me who has a wind Affinity in konaha Naruto stated calmly auma stopped his hand from moving after hearing this and he raised his eyebrow that's true along with fire I possess a wind Affinity but I didn't know that you do too I'm also a bit surprised that a jenon is interested in Elemental manipulation you have to forgive me for saying this but your Academy record would never suggest that of all the new jenin you'd be the first to ask this kind of question did Kakashi tell you anything about it he replied seriously narut shook his head it's all right I realized that I did poorly in Academy that's why I want to improve myself but secretly that is the reason I wanted to talk to you privately Kakashi Sensei only explained the basic attributes of each of the element and told me that you have a wind Affinity same as me while Hokage Gigi has an earth Affinity like me assuma raised his second eyebrow you have two Elemental affinities hey now that's interesting a dead last with two strong affinities what are the odds so you want to know something about the wind element well kind of a few days ago I started to teach myself a few JSU and while I progressed nicely with the Earth Jutsu I just can't seem to grasp the wind ones my wind release great breakthrough and gaale palm are not strong enough and even though I can create quite a strong blast of wind it's harmless so I thought that there must be something I'm doing wrong Naruto grunted irritated he's trying to learn two wind Jutsu and Earth Jutsu at the same time this kid must be sturdy as hell and to think that he can already perform them the only thing that's missing is the key element but from what I hear his Jutsu are already usable not bad I think that I can give him one bit of advice assuma nodded appreciatively he suddenly reached to his pouch and took out two knuckle knives holding them for Naruto to see them clearly these are my chakra knives they are made of a special metal that absorbs the chakra nature of the holder try holding it and flow your chakra into the knife like this the knife in his right hand suddenly glowed in blue a sharp looking Aura surrounding the knife he handed the other knife to Naruto who concentrated for a moment and after a few seconds his knife was glowing too although the aura was bubbly ear H it's different from the way your chakra looked assuma San assuma grinned and raised his hand with a knife listen up when manipulating the wind type chakra you've got to imagine splitting your chakra into two and grinding them together do it so that the chakra Fields sharpen one another into fine pieces he explains slowly and watched Naruto frown sharpen them into fine pieces huh the blonde trailed off already picturing the image in his mind exactly the thinner and sharper the better narut glanced down at his glowing knife and I idea coming to his mind H from the way your chakra looks I guess it's supposed to make these knives even sharper right good he understood but maybe a demonstration would be even better assuma thought yes when two weapons Clash the one with the sharper blade wins Hmm this should explain things faster keep the chakra in your knife and we'll both throw these chakra knives at that tree together assuma proposed and pointed his finger on Naruto's left left side at the tree with a boulder behind it okay Naruto nodded and quickly followed aum's example both of them throwing their knives at the tree Naruto widened his eyes when he watched the knife that Asuma threw easily cut through the tree and sink deeply into the boulder behind it w wow amazing so that's what the wind chakra can do it didn't just cut through the tree the knife pierced the Hard Rock behind it too and that much his eyes widened further after awesome as next sentence well it can get dangerous so I limited my chakra use but if I tried that knife would cut through that rock as well what yeah the wind element has the strongest offensive power for close and middle-range fights it's actually quite rare you know this wind type Asuma stated with a smile can't argue with that Naruto said glancing at the pierced Rock again he turned to Asuma and lightly bowed to him thank you Asuma San I can already picture what I could do with the proper use of wind element what do you want in return for this advice assuma stared at him for a moment the smoke steadily rising from his cigarette you owe me nothing as you are first jenin to ask this I'm doing it for free but next time you want advice you'll have to pay for the Yakiniku huh more free advice I seem to be getting a lot of that these days I'm almost suspicious but I guess that even I can have some luck after the past 12 years of Misfortune Naruto's mouth bent itself into a smile and he thanked assuma who watched him leave with a smile after getting back to his team Shikamaru called out to him what did narut want I saw you throw something the Jan smirked at him well if you weren't so lazy I would tell you so you say assuma Sensei but I'm sure that those were your chakra knives that must mean you talked about chakra Natures but Naruto can't be working on Elemental manipulation can he a Troublesome the blonde made me think Shikamaru thought with a sigh with narut feeling better after eating Ramen at the ichiraku stand narut decided to head to his training place to start his daily routine after arriving he created once again a 100 clones and after giving them the usual orders he was on his leave when a leaf landed on his forehead he grabbed it and looked at it speculatively paying no actual attention to the leaf instead thinking about what Asuma told him that day he accidentally tore the leaf he glanced at it in Surprise and his face lit up an idea hitting him from seeing the two pieces of the leaf that's right assuma sand said that I have to picture splitting my chakra in two and grinding them together I wonder if I'd able to split a leaf using only my wind chakra hastily grabbing another Leaf from the branch hovering above him he concentrated on what Asuma told him earlier in two together he mumbled and when a bead of sweat formed on his forehead he glanced down on the leaf and noticed a little truly a tiny cut on the edge of the leaf he wiped the sweat into his sleeve and grinned widely this this is a great practice idea I'm sure that after I'm able to cut the leaf completely using only my chakra I can Master my Jutsu his clones raised their eyebrows when they saw the original speeding back to them after an abrupt stop he waved at them with a leaf in his hand listen up I'm changing the orders from now on until you can get it done all of you that were practicing the wind Jutsu grab a leaf and try to split it using only chakra and keep asumas San's advice in mind exiting the area after the big group of clones nodded Naruto thought resolutely I'm sure that this will be of great help a week after raising the gravity seals it was a cloudy morning when Naruto woke up with a splitting headache his eyes twitched in pain and he grabbed his head damn it I guess a week is as much as I can train continuously with my shadow clones my head is killing me even though he was in pain Naruto managed to smile a bit last evening after his clones dispelled and he got every piece of their memories he was ready to celebrate the group of clones that was handling his wind chakra managed to split the leaf the group of clones that was handling his Earth chakra managed to perfectly perform the D- ranked Jutsu and the C- ranked one needed only slight tweaking the group of clones that was handling his canai throwing managed to strike every Target with nice Precision it's still wasn't on par with sake but he was slowly getting there the group of clones that was handling his chakra control greatly improved this skill and that was one of the reasons the first group managed to actually split the leaf and finally the group of clones that was handling knowledge and was regularly in the konaha library found a book for beginners in fuinjutsu that almost instantly caught his attention so he secretly took it home as a reading in his free time also they found a dranked genjutsu demonic illusion hell viewing technique a rather weak Jutsu that Naruto remembered Kakashi using on Sakura during the Bell test it was listed as one of the basic Jen Jutsu in Naruto vowed that by the time of the tunin exams he would learn at least this one genen Jutsu even if he would have to spend dozens of his clones on learning it his plan for the next week in which he wouldn't use his shadow clones for training was simple he would use the time to try and find a suitable ta Jutsu for him as his clones that trained it manag to what mastered the academy style but it proved to be weak and easy to counter not to mention that it didn't suit Naruto also he would try to get used to this level of gravity seals so that he could by the end of this second week raise the level again but first things first I want to know if my wind Jutsu are stronger after I learned how to cut the leaf in two in a matter of a few minutes he arrived at his training place and took a breath to calm his muscles calling out to the memories of his clones he concentrated ated on sharpening his chakra and when he was confident yelled out his Jutsu wind release great breakthrough his eyes almost bulged out of their sockets after seeing the effects of his Jutsu and he glanced at the destruction this this is how I imagined the Jutsu to work damn what a difference he used a good amount of chakra for this Jutsu and the results showed themselves a whole line of trees in front of him was quite damaged the trees had gashes in them many branches were either off or they broke against the force of the Jutsu almost all of the leaves were ripped from them one smaller tree was even ripped from the ground its roots sprawled on the grass all in all for a c ranked Jutsu it was a good amount of damage and it made Naruto grin widely just you wait sake I'll catch up with you soon and you wait too hku I'm getting stronger and I will fulfill my promise to you why the long face Naruto [ __ ] aame the daughter of the owner of the ramen stand asked as she watched Naruto slowly eat his bowl of ramen it was obvious that the blond's mood was low since she never saw him sigh so much and eat his favorite food with such little enthusiasm Naruto poked the small piece of pork meat in his meal and side again it's just no matter what I do I can't seem to grasp this one technique I'm determined to learn it's been several days and I haven't made any progress at all it sucks he lazily stuck a small amount of new noodles in his mouth and chewed on them frustration ridden all over his face aam reached out to him and rubbed his hair with an encouraging smile cheer up I'm sure that you'll get it done after all your Kona is number one most unpredictable ninja right there is nothing you can't do I'm sure of it offering her a half smile Naruto nodded and quietly finished his meal he put some money on the counter and walked away kicking dirt in the process what's up with him the owner of the ramen stand Tui showed up after hearing Naruto leave it seems he's been having problems with his training aam replied and watched Naruto's back slowly disappear with an anxious frown after hearing this Tui chuckled a bit earning a glare from his daughter don't worry about Naruto if there's one thing I learned after having the kid as a customer for this long it's that no matter what he won't give up on anything he may get angry frustrated or even sad unlike what most people think but he'll never give up on his word it's his nindo or did you forget he quickly stated a yam pouted at him and disappeared in the kitchen of course I didn't forget I'm just not used to seeing him sad it doesn't suit him she called out Tui nodded to himself that is true it really doesn't suit him konah needs his smiling face with Naruto she's right I promised myself that until the tunin exams I'd learned that cursed Jen Jutsu and here I am only 5 days later ready to burn bur from frustration Naruto thought more calmly but damn it without my clones it takes so much time for me to learn it I should probably focus on something else until I can use my clones again it is only 2 and 1/2 days until then after all jumping from building to building it took him only few minutes to arrive to his training place getting to the center of the clearing he cracked his knuckles okay I'm postponing the genjutsu training until I can use my clones until then I should try to perfect the other judu I've been learning he built up his chakra and went over the hand seals quite faster than he was able more than a week ago wind release great breakthrough watching the destruction with a satisfied grin his thoughts slowly drifting from the Jan Jutsu problem Naruto took out his Kai and threw them at the distant trees wind release gaale palom when all of his canai Hit The Wanted marks sinking deeply into the wood courtesy of their enhancement with the Gail Palm Jutsu his grin widened nice it looks like I have those two mastered already now onto the rest of the Jutsu he smashed the fist into the ground below him Earth release Earth Shore return whistling at the wall of Earth that Rose in front of him he walked a few steps so that the wall from the Jutsu would be only few meters away with a loud yell he jumped and crossed the distant in an instant aiming to kick at the wall trying to find out its durability a sudden Yelp was a clear indication that that the wall proved to be harder than his leg he massaged his foot and appreciatively nodded at the wall it had only a small dent in it which meant that it was at least strong enough to withstand a kick from an average jennet that was good enough since his next learned Jutsu was only a d rank he could now perform it just like it was written in the scroll but his grin faltered when he realized that it was time for his last new Jutsu sticking his tongue out and biting on it he hesitated for a moment and then he went through the hands seals Fire release great Fireball I knew that this would worsen my mood Naruto grunted and wiped his mouth after almost two weeks of training one week consisting of using Shadow clones narut was still unable to properly perform the uchi's signature Jutsu his Fireball was for now only a small orb of fire the size of a football ball what was more frustrating was the fact that he knew that he was doing everything right and he should have been able to master this Jutsu a few days ago the only problem was the fact that fire was not one of his affinities hence his problems with mastering the Jutsu of this element me I'm sure that the more I try to practice the better I'll get so no worries remembering the fireball SAS managed to spit the last time he saw him Naruto clenched his fists no worries deciding to give himself a free day he hurried to his apartment to read his fuinjutsu book 2 and a half days later finding himself at his training place Place once again Naruto's mood was entirely different from his last few days it was finally time to try and raise the level on the gravity seals he wore 247 as per Kakashi's instructions before he would attempt to do it he had to release all of the seals so that he could get used to the sudden increase in his strength and speed forming a single seal he concentrated gravity seals release after suddenly feeling incredibly light narut happily smiled and tried to spr across the clearing only to end up with his face splattered against a tree he fell on his butt and massaged the sore places his smile was however still present this is amazing the increase in speed after getting from the second level to the third is higher when comparing to the increase from the first to the second I can definitely switch to the third level and I bet that right now I'm faster than even sake laughing in Joy he was in the middle of forming the seal to increase the level when a harsh voice stopped him stop it brat it was so sudden that narut couldn't help himself and jumped in fear that something or someone found him realizing who talked to him he frowned damn it caoi you almost gave me a heart attack sitting down on the ground Naruto closed his eyes and inhaled deeply trying to plunge into his mindscape Naruto's mindscape I'm here caoi what do you want narut had to brace himself when a powerful gust of wind almost knocked him down don't don't talk to me like we are some sort of friends brat the nine-tailed fox growled at him oi I'm grateful that you got rid of the seal for me but don't forget that we're stuck here together and I'm no longer that scared of you Naruto yelled back masking his small fear of the fox with false bravado that's better caoi grunted and yawned meanwhile Naruto's sweat dropped and looked at the demon incredulously that's better he wants me to yell at him I don't get him so what is it he asked again and this time caoi only blowed a light Breeze at him not much Brad I just wanted to stop you from doing something stupid seeing that Naruto only blankly stared at him caoi continued do not activate the third seal yet with his eye twitching Naruto grunted I understand your language there's no need to be an ass but why shouldn't I activate the third level the caoi looked at him as if he was stupid I thought that you were smarter now listen Brad you have jumped from zero to be able to handle the third level of those gravity seals in the span of 3 weeks give your body a day to adjust to the increase in speed and strength an hour was enough when you jumped from the first level but this time a day should suffice or else you'll end up smashing into trees I thought that you'd think of it as that Cyclops advice was on your mind a minute ago but I guess there are parts of your brain that are still not functioning properly the fox explained Naruto felt his face heat up shut up I knew that I was only caught up in the moment he yelled in embarrassment the caoi only watched him in mild Amusement hey riling up this human is always a nice change of pace why do you even care so much wouldn't it only serve for your amusement if I'm crashing into trees Naruto asked suddenly when the demon kept silent he widened his eyes in amused surprise don't tell me that the great caoi suddenly came to like me this time he was blown away after a blast of wind knocked him from his feet do not talk nonsense human brat I am the great nine-tailed fox the greatest of all be you the embodiment of hatred and destruction if you think that the likes of me would be able to feel something such as like just because you managed to slightly improve yourself then you're just kidding yourself get over yourself brat and you know what get out I'm getting tired of you already caoi shouted his previous Amusement changed into anger releasing pulses of chakra that were only stopped thanks to the seal on his cage but the effects of the chakra the malicious intent were so strong that Naruto had to keep himself from shaking and gulped heavily okay note to self never piss off caoi ever again he hastily closed his eyes and awoke in the real world wiping his sweaty forehead he widened his eyes wait did caoi just give me a compliment nicely hidden but still a compliment in his mind caoi was still growling idiotic brat getting ahead of himself never think that I'd ever come to like you Brad someone like me is not capable of that respect you maybe if you convince me that you're different than other humans but if you can't do that be afraid of the moment when you'll try to control my power or I'll devour you whole following day after the little talk with the caubi Naruto quickly came to realize that the fox saved him some humiliation he spent the rest of the day trying to get accustomed to his increased speed and strength it wasn't like he was using another body but his eyes weren't able to follow the sudden changes in directions whenever he used highspeed movements and needed some time to adjust his reflexes also needed different timing it's cool if you're moving so fast that the enemy can't even spot you and it's also cool if you see where you're going at that velocity however if your reflex is can't react in time to avoid a random obstacle all of it doesn't matter that way if Naruto tried to show off his new agility without previously adjusting to it he would only end up humiliating himself with his luck it would be in front of sake that thought alone convinced the jenin that he shouldn't speed up his training too much right away so he worked hard the whole day until the stars were the only source of light barely providing him with enough visibility this morning when he tried to move around a bit he found out that his senses reflexes and everything else was up to date and it was time for him to adjust the gravity seal he spent only minuscule time to Marvel at the capabilities of the human body that could adjust to new conditions so quickly the fact that he was a Shinobi whose body was also fully pumped up with chakra made things a little bit more believable once again forming a ram seal he focused on the seals oh she he cursed with his legs furiously shaking from the sudden increase of weight pressing down on him M if this is only the third level I don't want to know what the fifth feels like and to think that Kakashi Sensei said that these gravity seals are too L level for him if all of the Janan are on his level I pray to God that I won't meet one as my enemy for a long time Zabuza was crazy strong and even he was beaten by Kakashi Sensei biting on his lip he formed another hand seal third level of gravity seals activated so it's time to get back to my special training multiple Shadow clone Jutsu with a neutral expression still slightly shaking from the pressure on his limbs he called out to his clones gaining their attention as you all know aside from the fireball Jutsu we managed to master the rest of the JSU so the same amount of clones that were training the fireball Jutsu will continue to do so until we get the hang of it the group that was concentrating on hand seals and canai throwing will now try to learn that one Jen Jutsu demonic illusion hell viewing technique I want to have it mastered as quickly as I can once again some of you go to the library and find some new Jutsu to learn preferably at least C ranked send the information to the rest of the Clones after you're done well you know the drill oh and the TA Jutsu group try to do the same thing you tried last time maybe we could develop something from it by the time the TuneIn exams will take place Naruto listed and allowed himself a small smile at the end the last time he trained with his clones they accidentally stumbled on something while trying to come up with something to add to his fighting style it was still in very early stages of development but if he could manage to incorporate that particular thing in his tautu his hand-to-hand skill would turn him into quite a dangerous Shinobi quite quickly later that day Naruto was anxiously waiting for the knowledge from his clones in the library and he even momentarily forgot about being upset with Kakashi or even the fatigue from new level of gravity seals their tardy Sensei got them another dranked mission which was now quite visibly frustrating not just SAS who wanted to go on a c ranked task immediately after the incident in wave but now even Naruto couldn't help but be irritated one time Kakashi said that he won't hold their hands when being their instructor and next time he was adamant on taking only dranked missions because he didn't want to expose them to unnecessary danger it was aggravating but as he was walking along the River on the outer edge of konaha his clones in the library finally dispelled and he eagerly sat down to sort through through their memories what did the Clones find two wind Jutsu wait a second this will be interesting wind release Air bullets a technique that shoots multiple bullets of air at the victim with intense speed if the user is highly capable in using wind element this Jutsu can be classified as a B- rank technique if the ability to manipulate wind element is lower it becomes only a c ranked Jutsu all right B ranked it will be Naruto grin zealous next is wind release wind cutter technique but I don't use any sword or War fan or anything else so why did the Clone read it I have enough on my plate to suddenly start learning kenjutsu so why o the blonde slapped his forehead when he came across a memory of his clone sketching something on a piece of paper so my clone found a different variant where I don't use any kind of Blade to release the wind slash but instead I use my hand to create multiple Blades of wind creating a single side of Sharp air H and it's called vacuum slash nice that's for the wind element what did they dig up for Earth element when the memory showed itself Naruto had to smile Earth release Shadow clone Jutsu I already have Shadow clones but this Elemental version seems rather useful a clone is made of mud of the user which gives it unique features it can continue to reform and mold itself back to its original shape as long as it still possesses chakra once revers converted to Mud the Clone can serve as a powerful restraint that is capable of completely halting the opponent's movements indeed very useful however being a variation of Shadow clone technique it is a V rank Jutsu I hope I can manage well I'll worry about it later second one is Earth release Earth Dome Jutsu it creates a dome constructed from the earth which is used for defense AC ranked Jutsu him it seems that the Earth really is great element for protecting good he massaged his head inside and that marks the end for today the only other thing that my clones found out is something about seals which I'll try back at my apartment content with the amount of new knowledge absorbed from his clones Naruto stretched his legs and arms they were becoming numb from sitting still for the past half hour he propped himself and leaned back to relax enjoying the view on the nature around him he deeply inhaled the scent from the near trees and flowers with a huge smile playing on his lips he was becoming stronger and he knew it overall his skills were drastically improving and in some areas he was already quite good and he started to train this hard barely a month ago for a jenin that didn't come from any kah his clan his Ninjutsu Arsenal was quite large he counted seven mastered techniques and they went from a basic e- ranked Jutsu to even one A ranked it was only a massive version of Shadow clone Jutsu the multiple Shadow clone Jutsu but it was still rather impressive for air jenin his Tai Jutsu was sporting signs that it would come along while his genjutsu skills still sucked with his better chakra control he could most likely dispel some low-level genjutsu but nothing more it's still came as a surprise to him when he got the memory from his clone that read about Jen Jutsu and how to dispel them he was now sure that the instructor in the academy that he stayed in detention with purposely taught him nonsense that was quite depressing ing but he forced that thought into the back of his mind where his other distasteful memories stayed the most important thing was that he was now in possession of the right knowledge on Jen Jutsu and how to counter them after he shook off the blank look he had for the past few minutes he turned his head to see some kids on his far right plane in the nearby River at that sight his train of thought that was going over his current abilities derailed itself he remembered another important fact that he didn't pay attention to at the time he noticed it stopping himself before he would slap his forehead again Naruto heavily sighed once again I must say I'm not a clever person no matter how much I'd like to think I am to forget such crucial information ah better late than never I guess he got up slowly walked to the river bank and removed his sandals along with the socks before walking in the river when the water washed his ankles he shuddered it was quite cold he glanced at the kids that were still playing and splashing the same water on themselves forcing him to shake his head why would they play in such cold water but that wasn't the most important question at the moment why would I forget such a detail of Kakashi Sensei and zaba's first fight both of them were walking on the freaking water surface that's why Kakashi Sensei made us do the tree walking it was a preparation before he could attempt to teach us the water walking but I guess that after we managed to finish the Wave Mission once again our tardy Sensei forgot about it I swear to God that man is less responsible than I ever was Naruto dead panned mentally and prepared to try the water walking heating Kakashi's words when he showed them how to walk on trees the blonde focused an appropriate amount of chakra to the bottom of his feet and raised his right foot slowly very carefully he lowered it until it touched the surface of the water something was telling him that this attempt would end as a failure but nevertheless he put more weight on his right foot and tried to do the same with his left one for one extremely short moment he seemed to hover with his feet slightly below the water surface before he ended on the bottom fortunately for him he chose to stay near the river bank so the sudden loss of altitude was only minimal and he managed to hold his posture it seems that I just found another great chakra control exercise tree walking holding leaf on forehead both of those pale in comparison to this even with my improved chakra control I can't do it properly despite that Nar widely smiled he wasn't happy that he couldn't do something he was happy that he found something that would make him stronger while trying to master it every little thing like this was only bringing him closer to his dream step by step adopting a thinking pose Naruto stroked his chin yes Uzumaki Naruto a kid who just a few months ago used to run all over the village chased by chunin or Jan after pulling a prank on konaha was now able to stand still think calmly in an attempt to try and figure out a problem that had nothing to do with any prank it was probably good that nobody that knew him from that time saw him or else they would have believed that they were trapped in some powerful Jen Jutsu so what is needed for water walking as I already noted the tree climbing exercise is most likely something that should prepare you for this and it proved effective as I was able to even if only for a split second stand on the water but I fell soon enough H that means that it involves focusing your chakra to the bottom of your feet just as well his gaze traveled across the water surface think what more I need to do tilting his head and crouching a little he noticed the small waves the trepidation of the water surface the sight gave him a sudden Clarity yes that must be it water is never steady never calm it always moves so the surface is not as simple as wood sometimes as it flows around your feet or under it you have more or less amount of surface on which you can stand on that must mean one thing you can't simply code your feet with a fixed amount of chakra you have to constantly change the amount you emit changing his tactics he tried once again to focus his chakra to the bottom of his right foot and put it on the water surface his weight was still on his other leg as he wanted for a moment to just try to feel the constant changes in the water he was touching with his right foot inhaling through his nose he tried to steady and slow his breathing for somebody that was always packed to the brim with energy standing still on his one leg was almost a painful thing he was basically trying not to move just to feel the cold liquid on the skin of his foot he closed his eyes and opened his eard drums to the sound of the nature that surrounded him it always helped him calm down after a stressful day Naruto stayed in that position for a few minutes before finally feeling it okay now focus on the changes and adjust the flow of the chakra to it less water equals less chakra come on Naruto you can do it as a bead of sweat lazily trailed his cheekbone his foot that was hovering on the water's surface slowly shook before becoming still with gritted teeth from the constant Demand on his concentration he shifted his body weight on his right foot and feeling it was somewhat steady he repeated the process with his left foot a few moments later a sweaty Naruto with closed eyes clenched jaw and his arms hovering in the air trying to hold his balance managed to stand on the water surface for a full 5 Seconds dot dot dot before his concentration broke and he fell on his butt drenching his clothes with water this time he welcomed the cold liquid that helped him to cool off with his left hand he went through his hair but despite everything his smile was still present feww that was an amazing feeling time for round two two days later there was one thing that was momentarily on Naruto's mind every day he was discovering new variations to the techniques in his repertoire new ways of improving his chakra control new knowledge that went straight to his brain with Incredible speed a different approach to further mastering stuff he knew it was mindboggling just how much he missed during those years when his brain was functioning on lower level just how much material he could uncover that would gain his attention all in all the limit of only 100 Shadow clones for training purposes was slowly becoming a huge problem after the last few weeks he accumulated so much knowledge he was eager to try and 100 clones was simply not enough anymore it was very tempting to try to use more of them but after his last attempt the thought of the splitting headache always stopped him from actually doing it so there was only one thing he could do he had to start cutting off some of the things he trained in being a 12 years old boy it was making him irritated thankfully he wasn't a complete [ __ ] anymore so he could somewhat keep calm and not snap at the first person that approached him not that it happened that often often kids and villagers were still wary of him and the quiet time of no pranks coupled with his more mature attitude only made them more suspicious so it was because of his new attitude that he could think about it and admit one thing 100 clones 200 clones or even thousand of them no matter how many clones he would use for training there wasn't a way for a human being to learn everything on this world that he would want to it would be possible only in one case if there was nothing else that could interest him from this day onward even a 12 years old kid like Naruto knew that it would actually never happen the human race was always intrigued by the things it noticed all around itself Endless Possibilities everywhere with that in mind Naruto changed his training regiment his clones were now until further notice doing the following 20 clones were learning wind Jutsu 20 clones were learning Earth JSU 10 clones were learning Fireball Jutsu 10 clones were doing Library research 10 clones were practicing tautu 20 clones were learning Jen Jutsu 10 clones were doing water walking to improve chakra control those were the things Naruto deemed the most important for the time being little did he know he would change his regiment very soon 10 days later could you please repeat that Kakashi Sensei I don't think I heard you right Naruto stared at Team s's John and sensei in disbelief what the Doby said SAS hmph Ed after him Sakura only gulped when she noticed the excited flames in eyes of the both boys Kakashi face pawned am I really that bad he sulked mentally you heard right I said that we are going on another C rank Mission I believe that enough time has passed since the mission in Wave Country and that you're all ready even if something similar should happen Kakashi stated I smiling at them encouragingly well mainly at Sakura who is still unsure as Sask looked as if Kakashi just told him that he got rid of all of his fan girls Naruto smiled too but in his head he was eyeing the rest of his team suspiciously how can Kakashi Sensei claim that he believes we all are ready for unexpected did sasak or Sakura approach him for training no Sakura is still a fan girl and sas's ego is too big for him to just ask for help with something memories of their shared tree climbing training came to his mind when sake begrudgingly asked narut for some tips although he may have swallowed his pride we'll see so what is this Mission he glanced at Kakashi who was once again engrossed in his little orange book grinning perversely Kakashi coughed to regain his composure after reading a particularly spicy scene oh Yuko you dirty girl ehm similar to The Wave Mission it consists mainly of escort service and protection for Two Men tenichi and Kenichi a father and son they asked for konaha for safe arrival to their small Village near the teni bridge in the village hidden in the grass since that Village is our Ally and couldn't offer it Shinobi for this particular Mission konaha offered its help he explained and nodded to Sakura who had a raised hand why do they need an escort if their Village is small I mean I doubt that they are such prominent figures that they would be afraid of mugging right she questioned nervously doesn't matter we finally have a c rank Mission I want to go as soon as we can SAS suddenly stated giving Sakura a slight glare Kakashi quickly waved his hands between them to diffuse the tension ma ma no need to get snippy sake we are doing this Mission don't worry to answer your question Sakura no they are not celebrities nor they are overly Rich however they mentioned that they received a message from their Village that it was being assaulted by a band of Bandits and there is a possibility that they're still there hearing this Sakura gulped but she didn't want to aggravate SA a further so she stayed quiet we will meet them in 1 hour at konaha Gates pack your things quickly we will travel a lot slower so this Mission will take few days at least Kakashi added and waited until Sakura and sasak ran to their homes Naruto too was on his way but was forced to stop when Kakashi appeared in front of him with a serious expression on his face raising one eyebrow Naruto coughed quote dot dot dot what is it Kakashi sensei the Jan appeared to hesitate for a moment before deciding on something I'm sorry for singling you out but this concerns only you and I'm not sure if it would be wise telling this to sasak or Sakura Naruto cap with his foot I'm waiting Kakashi Sensei I didn't think this through I didn't think this through I definitely didn't think this through Kakashi thought listen Naruto I don't know how much attention you paid to the instructors in the academy when they were talking about geography but just so you know the village hidden in the grass and the small country it is located in are the only things that separate the land of the fire and the land of the earth therefore there is some risk of us getting into contact with iwag gakers the village hidden by rocks Shinobi he sent a meaningful look to Naruto who tried to remain calm as he was suspecting what was Kakashi trying to say so why should it bother just me Naruto asked in his mind grateful that his voice didn't waver Kakashi stayed silent for a moment care F analyzing nar's expression the jenin was hoping that his Blank Stare would fool the copy nen Nar I know that the fourth hok was always your idol so you must know about him and his exploits it was during the third Shinobi world war that the fourth Hokage gained his famous nickname Kona his yellow flash with one Jutsu he managed to decimate a whole platoon of iwa Shinobi practically ending the war itself that's why to this day many iwas shenobi or most likely holding a grudge against him Kakashi replied his expression becoming quite melancholic which narut noticed but filed to examine later once again Kakashi Sensei why does it concern me Naruto's hands shook a little but fortunately Kakashi was paying close attention only to his face ah he's not making this easy damn it should I tell him this I'm inclined to say that two months ago I'd have no problems with this but nowadays Naruto looks and acts much more mature and levelheaded than before and he may suspect something no I have to tell him where he might lose his life and I can't allow that Kakashi gathered his resolve and looked Naruto dead in the eyes because your resemblance with the fourth Hokage is quite extreme and with these new clothes you're a splitting image of him did did he just say what I think he said he actually said it out loud the nerve of this guy fine I don't have any hard evidence that would support my theory but still Al though the impression Kakashi Sensei is giving off talks a lot I had to try to remain calm so that he wouldn't suspect anything I don't want him to think that I know something or things would get messy and no matter how much I want to know about my parents in an hour I will need to be able to concentrate on the mission Naruto's mind was working at 100% trying to somehow absorb the implications and remain calm with a pure force of will he created a happy smile on his face T that's great I'm a step closer to becoming a hokagay like the fourth was aren't I his little stutter went unnoticed and Kakashi visibly relaxed with a heavy sigh he shot narut a thumbs up of course narut but that's why you have to be more careful than sasak or Sakura sasak is the last surviving member of the uiha that's still in this Village but he is of no interest to iwagakure however I if they spot you I'm afraid that they would attack you instantly and if that happens I want you to run and find me narut quickly nodded and excused himself Ma I was worrying for nothing I must have been imagining things after the Wave Mission he's still the same jenon at the core Kakashi falsely thought and hurried to meet their clients meanwhile Naruto was nearing his apartment when he stepped inside his small home he collapsed on the ground Breathing heavily leaning on the wall he cursed quietly damn it damn it damn it damnn it Kakashi sensei it's so obvious you know the truth so why aren't you saying anything do I the one who should know it in the first place have no right to know the truth why he punched the floor beneath him angrily and cursed again why damn it hour later Gates of konaha the blonde was pacing around in circles slightly calmer than an hour before okay I should be fine now I already promised myself that I'll only gather information about my parents if I can find it and I won't look for it intentionally now I'm completely positive that Kakashi Sensei knows the truth I'll just have to wait until he tells me and there must be something that prevents him from doing it no calm down you're getting frustrated again Naruto was talking to himself mentally while he and the rest of Team seven waited for their clients to arrive at the gates of konaha Sakura was unusually quiet and only occasionally glancing at sake who was rather focused on the task ahead of him the prospect of doing a C- ranked Mission Again was quite a for his mood and he hadn't frowned or grimaced even once in the past hour Kakashi was leisurely reading his favorite ichaa novel surprisingly he was the first one at the gates which garnered him a shocked look from Sakura an amused Shake of the head from Naruto and a surprised hmph from sake ah sorry Kakashi San kichi mistook the time for departure so were a little late Naruto turned around to see a middle-aged average looking man with a hard jawline an edged chin wearing standard Merchant clothing the only thing that stood out on him was a long ponytail swinging behind his head we're paying them so they'd wait for us no matter how long it would take for us to come father a kid probably 15 years old by Naruto's estimate slightly taller than sake in Naruto lazily started walking from behind his parent okay I already don't like this guy surprisingly the same thought went through both Naruto's and sake's mind when looking at the merchants son Kenichi the boy had only one plus he was wearing nice clothes and his face would be quite handsome if he wasn't scowling at Team seven though his appearance was enough for Sakura to ignore his verbal jab and she hurried to check him out wheel he's quite good-looking just below sasak [ __ ] the pink-haired kunoichi thought blasphemy sasak [ __ ] is load's better than him Chaw inner Sakura quickly added forcing Sakura to nod to herself in real life Kenichi be nice they're going to guard us tenichi reprimanded his son loudly and turned to Kakashi sorry about my son Kakashi just waved in dismissal it's fine tanichi San these are my students the Blondie is Naruto pinky is Sakura and the Bruder is sasak he pointed to each of the jenin earning three scows tenichi nodded to them while Kenichi snorted and after looking at Sakura the longest he mumbled meh big forehead and flat as a table I thought that at least the girl would be a big goodlook after which Naruto and sake had to physically restrain their female comrade from jumping at the boy in Anger Kakashi only sighed and moved forward this is going to be a long mission 2 and 1 half days later few miles until the village just like Kakashi predicted the journey so far was indeed long it even felt longer than it really was thanks to the constant verbal match between Kenichi and Sakura the girl had been angry at him since their meeting at konaha Gates and Kenichi didn't do anything to change the vibe he was giving off on the contrary since his comments seemed to easily rile soccer up he only regularly came up with new jives it left SAS and Naruto with the task of holding the girl off from him he wouldn't admit it out loud but even if he couldn't bring himself to like the guy Naruto had to acknowledge that kichi could make up interesting insults that was until the boy tried to do the same with him only with his will of fire Naruto was able to resist strangling Kenichi who after getting no visible reaction from him focused his insults back at Sakura Kenichi once tried it on sake but one stare with the added effect of the glowing Sharingan quickly shut him up even Kakashi was on the receiving end of provoking but with his cool attitude like oh you said something the Jan quickly forced Kenichi to return to Sakura so there they were two and a half days later slowly nearing the small village everything was going as planned nobody tried to Rob or attack them even the weather was beautiful that day with the sun mightily shining on their faces while the light Breeze constantly cooled them off even Kenichi was in a good mood talking with his father and for once not trying to insult anyone despite all of this there was a dreadful feeling growing in Naruto's stomach it was like an animalistic Instinct telling him that there was a danger of some sort ahead of them he slowly approached Kakashi and waited for the man to notice him yes Naruto the said jenin came closer and pointed with his eyes to the land in front of them Kakashi Sensei I don't know why but I have a bad feeling about this Mission something tells me that we won't find a Happy Village waiting for two of their civilians with eagerness on the contrary it's as if something bad happened to them I'm sorry if I sound like a crazy person but he stopped with his open mouth when Kakashi shook his head it's not just you Naruto unfortunately I feel the same the land the country around us feels dead no I must correct myself it reeks of death I think you're right and what we'll see won't be pretty be cautious and inform sake and Sakura too Kakashi whispered trying not to be heard by their clients Naruto immediately slowed down and reached his two teammates to report the news as he expected Sakura was oblivious to the feeling while SAS admitted being nervous for some unknown reason when the outskirts of the village were visible narut felt a growl in his mind what is it caoi the nine-tailed Beast growled again death Naruto widened his eyes at that and cursing his own luck he sped up passing Kakashi and leaving the rest of the team behind no Naruto [ __ ] Kakashi tried to unsuccessfully stop his student sasak Sakura remember the formation there's trouble ahead tread with caution tenichi San Kenichi San keep yourselves between me and those two and whatever happens don't leave that position Kakashi yelled at the rest of his team Sakura gulped and nodded along with sasak who for once wasn't eager for a fight however Kakashi's yell managed to freak out their clients who started to run trying to get to the Village as fast as they could now cursing heavily Kakashi sped up and arrived before the rest only a moment after Naruto did warning blood and gore ahead wahwah what the hell is this Naruto fell on his knees ghostly pale at the sight he would remember for the rest of his life I Kakashi was at loss for words Kakashi Sensei what ha SAS and Sakura stopped next to their Sensei but the question in their eyes died as soon as they turned to see the village or what was left of it one could tell that it must have been a very nice and pleasant Town once if only you could see what was under the countless dead bodies scattered all around it was truly a horrific sight seeing chopped legs hanging from nearby trees arms lying on the roofs full of blown holes and Eyeless heads impaled on short sticks just aimlessly rolling on the ground those heads that were lucky enough to have their eyeballs still intact were prey to the flock of crows that were cackling loudly adding to the dead atmosphere it took them only a moment but all of the jenin had to turn around never in their life have they vomited as hard is that day Kakashi s is Eevee Arie no no mea my seeing the death all around him tanichi screamed and ran to the distant house wait tanichi San Kakashi cursed and hastily turned to his students stay here don't move one step I'm going after him in an instant the Jan was away no no way Naruto glanced behind him to see Kenichi falling on his knees vomiting just as hard as he did moments before the blonde turned to Sakura and wanted to say something but his mouth were tightly shut she wouldn't even hear him the Kona hakuno Ichi was shaking terribly tears rapidly falling from her eyes narut himself was in shock so seeing sasak suddenly crouched next to Sakura and turn her over so that she would look to his eyes didn't even face him he only broke out of his stuper when SAS whispered something to the pink head and patted her on the back what SAS said wasn't meant for his ears but it worked and Sakura suddenly hugged the last uiha crying on his shoulder unusually SAS returned the hug and looked only slightly uncomfortable he caught Naruto's eyes and nodded to him pointing at Sakura with his eyes Naruto nodded back and silently thanked him I I'll have to thank him later was the only coherent thought in nutk mind gulping heavily he disregarded Kakashi's orders and walked around a bit trying to look for any survivors every fiber in his body was feeling sick at the view he was offered the villagers must have been dead for a few days as crows weren't the only animals that came there fleas were buzzing above the dead torn bodies occasionally landing on some of them Naruto cursed when his foot sank into the ground with disgust he pulled it out and almost had to vomit again the ground was so soaked with blood it practically became a red mud the finishing line for Naruto was when he found the still whole body of a bunch of women even if they were dirty from the blood and the mud even if they were partially clothed one thing was obvious from the first glance the women in this Village weren't murdered by any kind of weapon or Jutsu they were raped to death a chill creeped into his very bones at that piece of information and narut had to try really hard not to let ca's chakra influence him it reminded him of something he'd hop to never remember again as long as he lived walking past the dead women he came across a younger girl barely looking older than him that apparently suffered the same fate that was enough and something in Naruto broke the anger revulsion and hatred towards those who committed such crimes reached a whole new level in him and those feelings poured themselves into his very chakra and for the first time in his life narut Unleashed his own killing intent some distance away Kakashi was comforting tanichi who was unable to find the bodies of his wife and daughter he didn't want to say it to the man but but maybe it was for the best it was in that moment that he felt Naruto's killing intent that seemed to Slowly cover the whole village and narut is doing this but he's only a jenon and I can't even feel cao's hatred in it it's all himself who could fault him it must be his first time seeing this Sakura 2 SAS probably saw something similar already I have to take tenichi back this killing intent is crazy for a jenin he must calm himself or he will suffocate tenichi and kichi Kakashi thought an alarm and softly got Kenichi up and walked towards his teen's location th this feeling it's just like on the bridge and wave with Zabuza it's a killing intent but who could SAS tried to calm himself from the chill he was feeling fortunately as sasak was holding Sakura he was shielding her from the effects of the intent or else he was sure that Sakura would collapse he looked around in disgust and I can't blame her this is a lot worse than what happened in the uch compound he at least had the honor to kill all of them quickly but these people were killed brutally painfully I think I'm going to be sick again he jerked himself when he felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up to see Kakashi's concerned face Kakashi Sensei sasak sighed nervously Kakashi glanced at the shaking Sakura and M A Silent thank you to SAS I'm here we couldn't find kenichi's wife or daughter and I think I'm actually glad for the poor man he would have broken I think that he should stay with his son for the moment wait where is Naruto a sudden fear crawled into his eyes sasak widened his eyes and glanced at his right where he saw Naruto last time I I don't know he was here just a minute ago Kakashi cursed and stared at sasak I'm going to look for him in the meantime continue to do what you're doing and keep an eye out for those two behind you I don't think that those who did this are still here but after he pointed to the dead bodies to emphasize his point we can't be too sure I'll be back with narut soon he continued and waited for sake to nod after that he vanished in an instant with Naruto animals their animals how could a human being do something like that just for what fun even revenge like this is too much Naruto was jumping through the forest leaving foot marks on tree branches as he was pumping his whole body with too much chakra he was Furious it didn't help that the images that he just saw reminded him of some of his own memories of such barbarism for the sake of those who did it he hoped that they were long gone otherwise he was fully prepared to do terrible things to them unfortunately he came across something even more vile half a mile away from the village look here don't I have a nice scarf it's so warm he a woman covered in blood and mud was grinning crazily at a motionless body of a little boy that boy had his eyes widened to their limits and his mouth was opened in a scream that had died few moments ago from the mixture of agonizing pain fear and shock he was completely nude and tied to a dinner table the woman that talked to him hovering slightly above his belly with a bloody knife and even more bloody hands she was shaking terribly maybe from shock maybe from the insanity that was present in her eyes she' plunged her hand into the deep wound she' made on the boy's body inside in content a you're so so warm almost like your sister was he he oh my God narut arrived just in time to see the woman pulling out her hand full of the boy's innards he hunched over and vomited again when he wiped his mouth and looked closer he had to take a step back is are those intestines that she's wearing as a scarf he thought numbly the woman hadn't noticed him and just circled around the table giving narut a view of the two small bodies that were with her in the room narut froze and started to shake his eyes filled themselves with tears his veins filled themselves with rage and his killing intent returned with such force that the woman had to stop walking his face expressionless he walked forward barely registering the blood soaked floor the scene before him was even worse than the one he saw in the center of the village a small frame of a girl younger than him was lying on the bed fully naked which he couldn't even notice the reason was simple she was bloodied to the point where no spot on her body was clean her face was twisted in agony at what she must have felt from the obvious marks of torture she had on herself her small body was covered with cuts and gashes some of the skin on her arms was missing and a huge hole was present at the place where her belly button should have been however the worst part was something else it was a thick wooden stick that was plunged into her genitalia so deep that the tip was visible through the hole in her belly if he'd had any food left in his stomach Naruto was sure that it would already be spitted out a small movement caught his attention and he turned around to see The Last Breath of the boy on the table he was still alive he thought in horror and his rage intensified with a swift movement he kicked the women out of the small cabin and followed her flying body outside he watched as she slowly got up laughing madly he he I'll have another nice scarf he he Naruto grimaced in disgust and clenched his fists I don't know your circumstances or anything but after what you've done you don't deserve to live he quietly snapped at the woman and flashed to her with his right fist aiming at her torso when he made contact with the woman her torso suddenly exploded in a shower of blood with a gaping hole in her chest the crazy woman gurgled and fell on the ground dead before her body hid it Naruto flinched when he opened his palm and watched as the wounds in it started to heal thanks to caubi he suddenly spoke to his tenant in a numb voice you know caubi in moments like these I can almost understand your hatred towards the human race we really are savages in fancy clothes animals in disguise a small growl answered him what do you want me to say Brad that you're wrong no someone that would turn on his own race and do such despicable things to them is not worthy of living I am the caubi a nine-tailed fox I hate the human race and I enjoy killing humans I hate animals and I enjoy killing them too I am the embodiment of hate and destruction I even hate some of my fellow beu and would gladly beat them down and I would enjoy it but every action I do is Swift and precise I don't torture others for my pleasure that's something that is reserved for humans Naruto laughed hollowly do you want to know the funny part I believe that you are less of a monster than some people he averted his gaze from the woman's dead body with a repulsed scowl single quote dot dot dot it seems that my promise to coup will take a long time to accomplish damn kid you're brutal Naruto widened his eyes at the foreign voice coming from behind him very slowly he reached to his pouch and twisted around to face the newcomer with a canai already in his hand who are you he yelled instantly well if you the unknown person suddenly screamed and her face Twisted itself in Anger that confused Naruto and the only thing he was able to notice before he had to dodge incoming Kai was a forehead protector and he quietly cursed the person in front of him was a Shinobi a Shinobi from iwagakure that's all for now if you enjoy then please like share and do comments
