Disclaimer: I know nothing!
Darkness covered training ground seven; Naruto could be seen tied to a log, his head down. If listen closely you could hear quite breathing, he was asleep. It was inevitable, he had been there since noon when team 7 left him. A dark figure slowly approached him, glancing from side to side. The figure approached the boy slowly, seeing that there was nothing to hinder his approach he continued. Once ha was close he shook the boy and called out,
"Wake up, Boy!"
Then the figure to a step back. Naruto slowly awoke looking around him he spoke drowsily, "Were I what? Yawn What time is it?, He said as looked around him noticing that he was still at the training ground and a figure he didn't recognize was in front of him, he immediately snapped to attention." Who are you your Chakra signature isn't one I recognize and the ANBU wouldn't wake me up they'd just take me home and make me think that just can't remember anything!"
"Very perceptive Naruto", the voice was neither male nor female, obviously, they were masking there voice, "by the way the ANBU have left you here."
"Damn those bastards! I should have known they would leave me here! I should have escaped these ropes long ago. ", Naruto scowled intensely. "But you still didn't answer me. Who are you?"
"Saying my name would be telling, but I will tell that I was part of this village and had similar experiences as you have had, hated, despised. I myself was, also, an orphan."
"When you say the same, do you mean a-a demon container?" Naruto was trembling at the thought of someone just like him, someone who understood him.
"Yes, it seems you are smarter than you act, but why you act that way seems to elude me to this day. Why, may I ask, would you act like the idiot when you could stun them with your intelligence, you want respect don't you, why at like the fool?"
"They wouldn't respect me if I didn't act. They would hate me even more and feel that I really was they demon!" he growled in discussed over the village ignorance.
"So you have known about the Fox for longer than you made it seem, but that only make more sense that you would know about a demon contained in your own body." Naruto could almost feel the figure's smirk as those words were spoken.
"Of course, but you didn't come here to just make small talk you said you were hated so your probably not wanted around here."
"How true you are! I am here to tell you about an organization know as Akatsuki, they are after the tailed demons and their power and we cannot let that happen since the demon containers die during procedure. So I came here to form an alliance with you because we both stand a better chance and even if one of us if captured the other can come to there aid." The person moved there arms in gestures as they talked.
"Well, that's all well and good but I'm not very strong, I doubt that I could be able to defeat Kakashi –sensei, even if I went all out, so don't think I can be of help to you."
"On the contrary, Naruto, I have plenty of things I can teach you, here." He says as he drops two scrolls on the ground in font of them." Also I think you should try to get so followers to help you, I personally have a great deal of them."
"Sound great!" Naruto says in excitement, then attempts to grab a Kunai in the hope to free himself, but fails. He looks up again at his new ally and speaks," It seems I am unable to free myself would be as kind as to release me?"
The figure just smiled as he quickly swings his arm and Naruto felt the ropes loosen and he hears the figure speak," You can keep that, you might want to learn something about that also in the scrolls."
Naruto looks to see what he's taking about, it happens to be a katana. He turns to speak and finds the figure has disappeared. He frees himself from the remainder of the ropes, finds the sheath for the katana, and picks up the scrolls and just as he is leaving the training area, he turns around and says," This is going to be interesting."
He then turns and heads for home.
Naruto arrives back at his apartment soon afterwords. After entering his apartment, he goes to his room, sets the katana next to the bed and then tosses the two scrolls on the bed and jumps on him self. He looks at them and on one of them the word "seal" is written on the scroll and on the other is the word "Ichi", the word for one, appears to have been stamped on it. He open ichi first and proceeds to read it goes as the following:
Dear Naruto,
I hope you plan to help me in my quest to stop Akatsuki, but even if not you being strong will slow them down considerably, so I have no qualms about helping you. In the next scroll is a seal that holds several other techniques that will help you. If you find no interest in some of the items or have already used them to your satisfaction feel free to pass them on to other you my find trust worthy as a follower or as a useful pawn. To open the seal open the scroll and swipe blood over the seal and use the hand signs of boar, dog, boar, crow while channeling charka. Remember to keep this a secret for now.
Enjoy,
Your fellow container
P.S. You're going to be strong and you're already smart, you why not act like it?
Naruto quickly drop the scroll once he was done with it and turn his attention to the second scroll. Remembering the hand sign for the unsealing he grabs the scroll, bites his thumb, runs it across the seal, channels chakra and performs the hand signs. Instantly, twenty-five scrolls appear in front of him as if out of nowhere, each with there own labels on them. He grabs two scrolls that get his attention; the first one is labeled "Elemental jutsu" the second is "charka control".
"I don't think I've here too much referred to as 'Elemental jutsu' and I guess I need charka control". And as he says that he opens first scroll and finds a second seal on it and frowns," How many seals are there? I'm going to end up with a hundred scrolls in my room? Might as well put that of and open the one on charka control first."
As he opens the scroll he notices that it is not as large as others. The scroll begins to describe the ideas of the point of chakra control something he know he can go over as he waits for his sensei. The first exercise was 'Tree climbing'. 'This is would be best for tomorrow, I save it for them", he though as he dropped the scroll. Quickly, he unsealed the scrolls six others appeared next to it. They were labeled as 'fire', 'water', 'wind', 'earth', 'lightening' and the final one had the word 'basic' printed as if stamped. Obviously he picked the one labeled 'basic'.
The scroll read as such:
This is a list of basic jutsu of different elements to help with experience at the end of this scroll there are several peaces of paper know as chakra paper, use these to determine your charka nature, more on that one later. These will be helpful so learn them all and finish this one before you start the others.
Setting the scroll in a pile with the chakra control scroll and had dubbed it the "stuff to learn first", he then added the scroll for kenjustu to the pile, one called How to Start Making Minions for Noobies and one other that caught his eye. This last scroll was called Connecting with Your 'Inner Demon' for Dummies. The wording was to be funny, though the idea was anything but a joke.
He quickly cleared his bed got under the sheets and went to sleep.
Sakura always prided herself by being on time to wherever she went and even be early most places. Today was no different, she had arrive at the training ground twenty minutes early, at first she thought she was the only one there, but once she got there she notice what seemed to be an other person reading sitting next to a tree. It surprised her to know end when she realized it was Naruto! 'He's early to something, he is reading of his own free will and are those new clothes?' she nearly shouted in her own mind. Least to say, there was something strange going on, but not only had he not done anything wrong he hadn't noticed her so she wasn't going to ask, I mean why ruin the silence? But isn't keep bugging her why was he acting like that, she hadn't remember him being left yesterday, all that she would recall is that in was quite for the afternoon.
Sakura was far from right. Naruto had noticed that she had arrived, but was busy reading the scroll on chakra control. It explained how chakra control was all controlled by the mind. It meant that if you had better focused you have better control. The first exercise was tree climbing with out hands and only chakra. It gave illustrations that show a man standing side ways on a tree, the concept seemed simple so he decided to give it a try. Before closing the scroll, he read one last line saying 'All the exercises can be helped by using kage-bunshin, but remember to use it only in private to keep away suspicion'
"Damn it" he whisper under his breath he had forgotten that kage-bunshin transfer their knowledge when they dispel, but that didn't matter he couldn't use it with Sakura there. If only would have remembered sooner. 'Oh well' he sighed in his mind, at least he could get the hang of the exercise for later. After putting the scroll back in his coat pocket, he stands up and looks at the tree then begins to channel chakra to his feet trying to concentrate like the scroll said. At this point Sakura takes notice, Naruto takes the first step and a second, up until he reaches half way, then Sakura decided to speak.
"Oi Naruto! What are you doing?" she shouted at him. He promptly falls on his ass.
"Damn!" he yelps in pain. After a minute, he finally gets up, rubbing his back, he faces her."What is it Sakura?"
"What were you doing?" she looked at him strangely, then glared for a second," and you watch your language!"
"It's a chakra control exercise that I read about." He quickly turns around and continues training leaving no room for her to respond. Sakura just looks at him strangely, but says nothing else.
Sasuke arrived not too much after their little talk, but said nothing at first. After waiting for Kakashi for what felt like an hour, he realized that he would be waiting for awhile. Finally, trying to find something to do, he walked over to Naruto.
"What the hell are you doing?" Sasuke yelled up at him. Naruto was three-fourths of the way up the tree. At this time, Sakura saw her chance to ask more questions.
"Naruto, what's with those clothes?"
"Why all the questions?" he said as he glared at them," Sasuke, this is a charka control exercise called tee climbing. Sakura, I got theses because I just thought the other clothes I had were to noticeable for a ninja."
To describe how he looked, he had black ANBU like pants and shirt that both raped tightly around is body, along with a dark red vest akin to the navy green one that Kakashi wears.
At this time, Kakashi, who had arrived seconds earlier decided to speak, He didn't get there earlier than normal, Sasuke has poor ability to notice the change of time, thought it seem like an hour it was closer to two and a half.
"Hmm, you're tree climbing? Also, you are performing the exercise only a day after the test, too. Though Naruto, the clothes are much needed improvement over the other set you had, but if you don't cover your hair it won't do you much good." Kakashi lazily stated
"Yeah, baka, I could have told you that!" Sakura shouted, she felt like she for the fact she had never hear of this exercise and she had the best grades in the academy and not knowing this made her fell stupid, something she was not used to or liked happening.
"I got that covered, Kakashi-sensei, for when we leave the village; I got a camouflage I can use. Also, where you come off telling me anything Sakura, you have pink hair and a bright red dress!" He yelled the last part. At this time she finally notices that he isn't adding the "–chan" suffix to her name.
"Whatever, we're doing 'D'-ranked missions. Let's go." Kakashi responded.
Naruto had only begun to read the scrolls, but he already knew that they could help him unimaginably. He planed to protect this village and he knew that Akatsuki isn't collecting the tailed beast because they like collecting as a hobby. No, they where going to do something and if they killed people to do it, it couldn't be good. He couldn't worry about that not, he needed to get stronger and to make allies of people in Konah, 'For now though need to do these 'D'-Ranked missions, I heard lot about them but they can't be as be a bad as I heard right?'
