The Training Begins

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, but if I did, everyone would have a kekkai genkai.

The village slowly disappeared as Naruto and Jiraiya walked away. Naruto didn't look back. Focused on the future, Naruto strode, anticipating the training he was to receive.

After a few hours of walking, Jiraiya called a halt in the middle of a forest. It was time to start.

"Okay Naruto, I haven't really focused on your training until now. That's going to change," he said with an evil grin on his face.

"What's first then?" Asked Naruto, not seeing the smile on the pervert's face.

"First of all, Katon."

"Great, which one"

"Gokkakyu no jutsu," called Jiraiya. A giant fireball appeared, stopping and disappearing inches from Naruto's face.

"What the…" Jiraiya trailed off as he noticed a figure standing in front of the sun, obscuring herself.

"Now, now, that wasn't a very good jutsu. I expected more from the great toad sage." The figure said calmly.

The girl walked out of the direct light, allowing herself to be seen.

A huge smile of recognition spread across Jiraiya's face. He knew who she was.

"Akane Takara, master of the Seikagan [more about that later and all fire jutsus. It's been a while."

"Yes Jiraiya, it has, and what's this, a new student, and you're teaching him a katon, I'm appalled that you didn't ask for my help," the newly named Akane said.

"Well then, I, the great toad sage, bow down to you Seikagan master and beg for you to teach my pupil a katon."

"I am humbled Jiraiya, and I agree to your request. Now kid, I am a master of all the katon jutsus. You should be grateful that I'm going to teach you."

"What the hell, you're the same age as I am, how can you know all the fire element jutsus? And just who are you anyway, for all I know, you could be trying to kill me." The frustrated Naruto asked.

"I am a wielder of the Seikagan, that means that I can control fire using my will alone, but for training, I was required to learn all the fire jutsus my clan knew. My name is Akane Takara in answer to your second question and no, had I wanted to kill you, you couldn't have stopped me."

While Akane answered Naruto's questions, he checked her over for any sign of weapons or danger. Starting at the top, she had long brown hair, bright green eyes[for all the perverts – large breasts a small waist, long legs and sense of chaos about her.

"Fine, enough questions, I don't care who trains me as long as they do it fast." Naruto complained

"Fine, let us begin"
