The expression on his face was neutral as his eyes gazed down at his groaning student.
"I'd like to say 'not bad' but then... I'd be lying if I went ahead and did that, won't I?"
"Go to Hell Whis-sensei."
"I've been to Hell once, it's actually quite charming once you get passed the unpleasantries. Would you like me to take you there? It's only 45 minutes."
"No thank you."
The entity known as Whis curved both its lips up into a smile. Training a student was always quite fun. Seeing them squirm always seemed to get blood flowing; it was the same with Lord Beerus, the current God of Destruction of Universe Seven (who was currently taking one of his rather annoyingly long hibernative naps) and now, it was the same with his latest studen, the one who was being groomed to be the next God of Destruction should Lord Beerus kick the bucket…
"Alright Naruto, I think that's going to be enough training for a while..."
"What?"
"I've decided that this is as far as I can take you in your training… that is until you reach a certain level of maturity that's acceptable to me."
"What?!"
"I know I don't have to repeat myself because you heard me very clearly."
"But… but..."
That's right; he was talking to none other than Naruto Uzumaki aka his second of a student.
How did it get to this you ask?
Well it happened many years ago...
In the middle of one of his musings, an unconscious body seemed to pop out of nowhere and drop right in front of him and curious at this development, he moved to examine it but before he could, a red light filled with a familiar type of energy suddenly seemed to shine for a brief moment before it shot into said unconscious body and right before his eyes, the features of the unconscious body changed into what he was seeing right now: blond hair with two black bangs in its front - bangs that didn't exist before - a brown tail sticking out of the base of a spine (like Lord Beerus had except Lord Beerus was a cat and thus had the tail of one while Naruto's tail looked like it belonged to some kind of ape) and the fact that the Ki of his student had something more… divine buried deep within it the moment the transformation was complete.
That was the main reason he took interest in taking the transformed blond as his student.
Unfortunately he was unable to get his student to reach for that divine essence which he sensed residing within said student, no matter the amount of training that they did, even as they had conquered his students most damning trait.
Multiple Personality Disorder...
That was honestly the core problem of many of the issues he had when training his blond student.
When his student first woke up after arriving, said student had no recollection of his identity was or his prior location to appearing in the home of Lord Beerus. This was an issue that was simply solved with a wave of his staff however, he had no idea that in restoring said student's memory, he would make things a little bit worse due to the fact that more than one individual memory would emerge and conflict with each other.
Asura…
Indra…
Madara…
Hashirama…
Sasuke…
Menma…
As the memories that emerged sometimes had him existing in two places at once with different personalities and name, the blond developed a severe case of MPD, as he would take the names of these individuals at random intervals; and after a little bit of digging to find the original personality of his student, he eventually realised that the reason Naruto gained the MPD in the first place.
Naruto never existed.
Well, in the traditional sense, his student was not born per say, because what's now his current student was once a pair of disembodied hands aimlessly soaring within the vastness of time and space with no purpose… two completely different hands that were eventually brought together by some unknown force to form the perfect physical being that was his current student. And as if that wasn't enough, the red pillar of light made an already physically perfect body even somehow more perfect by granting said body divine Ki.
Tackle said MPD in question was the first thing they did.
A God of Destruction with Dissociative Identity Disorder was a God of Destruction that would be mocked, ridiculed and terminated.
And he didn't want that in his Resume.
So with a simple mind jump, he confronted the multiple personalities within the blond and merged them into an individual personality that possessed traits of the six perfectly meshed in one go: intelligence, courage, cunning, craftiness and so on. And while this singular personality was a lot better to work with, considering that said personality shaped into form of a premature child once they'd merged, there were times when his student was a little bit… childish.
"But why? They're still some things I haven't learned from you yet!"
"You've learnt plenty, including how to control that peculiar transformation of yours. And until you've reached a certain level of maturity, I believe I can't teach you any more than what I have."
"No fair!"
See?
But it was better than nothing.
Whis walked towards the pouting male sitting on the ground currently shirtless, easily noting that the injuries of his pouting student already healed thanks to the extremely advanced healing factor said student seemed to have inherited; coupled with a Saiyan's ability to become stronger with each battle, it made his student a very dangerous opponent to face in a battle ground.
"How about a compromise?" he, Whis, suggested. "If you can show me you're able to defeat the strongest fighters in the universe in combat - that is of course excluding Lord Beerus and myself - then not only will I advance your training to the next level, I'll also create a planet that you can call your own, and prepare a full course meal you'll never seem to be able to get enough off."
*Growl*
Whis coyly smiled at that sound. He knew he had his student with that. Of course he knew the current strength of his student, however he felt that said student wouldn't be capable of progressing further than where he currently was if he kept holding his students hands; that was why he needed Naruto to fend of on his own for a while. If he was always around to tell and show his student what to do, then Naruto won't be able to develop the amount of maturity a GoD needed.
"Nice try Whis-sensei. You're the strongest guy around and I can't even land a hit on you. How the heck am I supposed to win this bet?"
Whis gave Naruto a side-glance.
"I'm sorry, but that's one thing you're going to have to figure out on all your own." he tapped the south end of his staff to the ground, watching silently as the orb on the north end grew in size. "Right now, they're multiple noteworthy opponents converging on a planet under an hour away from here. I can drop you off but you're on your own from then onwards until I decide to say otherwise."
*Growl*
"But what about lunch? I haven't eaten in the last 16 hours!" Naruto whined.
"I'll prepare a light snack for you before you go. It'll be ready by the time you're done with your shower." Whis replied, frowning. "Now stop acting like a child and get up. Your killing all the air with your smell."
And it was a shame too because honestly, he was going to miss his student, mostly due to the fact that with no one to entertain him or keep him busy - due to the simple fact that the only other person around to do that was currently in a deep hibernation - he would become easily bored.
Naruto's presence alleviated that boredom.
'It's a shame too.' A sigh escaped Whis' lips at that thought, one which he had while he prepared his student's snack meal. 'I was really starting to like him too. His company is a lot better than Lord Beerus'.'
It wasn't that he disliked Lord Beerus at all.
Far from it...
It's more along the lines of the fact that sometimes, he wished that Lord Beerus would take his role as God of Destruction seriously. If he wasn't eating, he was sleeping; and if he was not sleeping, he was off destroying planets with Civilizations in them because someone looked at him the wrong way. That was why he was personally grooming Naruto to be the next God of Destruction; aka the God that Universe 7 deserved more than Beerus.
"I'm done Sensei. Just so you know, this deal is stupid and I never agreed to it."
Whis looked up from his finished work, smiling at his neatly dressed student and still pouting student.
"I'm sure you'll change your tune once you're done with my test."
After all, he would settle for nothing less because his universe deserve nothing less; and besides, with the extra company around, maybe Lord Beerus' attitude towards work would be improved...
He hoped.

Authors Note: Fans of fellow author, Fairy Tail Dragon Slayer, you should all be familiar with his latest work: Serekei of Hope. It's a story where Naruto becomes a Serekei instead of its wielder, however the twist to that is this: It's a clone of Naruto, one grown from the hand of Cannon Naruto following his final battle with Sasuke. There are many stories where it was Naruto or/and Sasuke who was sent to a different dimension because of a Chidori/Rasengan clash that tore apart the fabric of Space-time. FTDS did something new that I'm now taking cue from and that was based on this question…
What if it was Naruto and Sasuke's hands that was sent through the eventual 'portal' created by their techniques' clashing?
That way, Naruto and Sasuke will still remain in their respective universes while the clones created from their arms would be the ones sent to the new universe. That's how 'Naruto' is in this story except in this particular story, my 'canon Naruto' isn't named 'Naruto'. He's named Menma and Minato's last name was Otutsuki (in my story) so Menma took the name 'Menma Namikaze' for the same reason Naruto didn't pick Minato's last name. This way, my Naruto or Clone!Naruto can have the name Naruto Uzumaki to himself without connecting himself to one half of his genetic parent.
Did I mention that the hands of this Naruto are the limbs of Naruto/Menma and Sasuke?
Which means that this Naruto, the clone, has Senju, Uzumaki, Uchiha, and Otutsuki genes in him, and as the parts that cloned him are parts gained from actual transmigrants of both of Hagoromo's children, he can get the Rinnegan which can either develop on its own out of the blue, from a new dojutsu that will act like a precursor to the Rinnegan, or from his very own Sharingan.
As for the 'Red Light' that shot into Naruto with the 'Godly Energy' that Whis felt, I believe you don't need me to tell you what, or who, that light was but for those of you who aren't well versed in the world of Dragon Ball Z or Super, that light was Yamoshi. His spirit was wondering until Goku did the ritual but because of Clone!Naruto's appearance - which is basically an anomaly - he doesn't need to wait for Goku to finish the ritual because he now has a body he can inhabit which means that Goku and Vegeta are going to have to find another way to become Gods.
Pairings have already been decided and believe me, the change with Yamoshi isn't the only change to the DBZ plotline that Naruto's appearance has caused. You can find that out on in later chapters that is if this story gets the required rates it needs to continue on which means: Review Review Review!
Peace!
