Prologue
It was a simple question to which if I answered would change my destiny my path my everything. But why would he want to teach me a nobody like me someone who is scorned and an outcast among his peers and yet when I looked at him he stood there with absolute sincerity in his and the he asked me again.
"Would you like to learn my arts Naruto?"
And just like before his voice was sincere how I knew it I'll never know maybe later in my training well all the training that I'll be able to squeeze in this one month break before the chunin exam finals. Bah! Who am I kidding even if it take years to complete my training from him I'll gladly accept it even if it means risking my promotion. Then I looked at him and readied my answer. Huh now that I think about it just a few hours ago I was begging Kakashi-sensei for training and yet with this guy I learned more about basics and chakra in an hour than I learned from him in the past months.
"Hell yeah I would like to learn more about your art. Master."
"Calling me Master already, very well we will begin tomorrow then. Meet me here at 8 sharp any later and I'll reserve the right to not teach you anymore so be on time or early but not too early."
"Okay mister but what you still hasn't given me your name."
"My name is Shaduwanng ."
And from that day onwards I Naruto Uzumaki Genin of Konohagakure, future Hokage became the disciple of the shadow master, the shadow assassin and the shadow emperor.
