"Bunshin no Jutsu" said Naruto as he stood breathing heavily in the forest, there were scuff marks all over his body and he was breathing heavily with sweat glistening on his face those characteristic whisker marks on his face going up and down with his breathing .

His Failed Bunshin that had collapsed on the floor due to its feebleness poofed and disappeared now it was time for the real Naruto to collapse on the grassy floor.

"What's wrong with me why cant I do this how can I possibly become Hokage if I can't make a simple Bunshin?"

"I can't pass the genin test and now they wont let me back into the academy for a forth try but I just have to become a ninja because I have to become Hokage"

"swwwwwish THUD"

The kunai thudded in the tree just in front of Naruto a thing line of blood appeared on his cheek as he moved his hand up to touch the place where the kunai had clipped him and wipe away the blood when a shuriken thudded into the back of his hand as he clasped it in pain two chunin ninjas of the leaf village appeared above him in the tree. Naruto's eyes widened in terror as he got up and started running for his life.

Everyday it was like this while he was under the protection of the academy instructor Irukua sensei or the Hokage he was safe but as soon as he left there watchful protective gaze he was always under threat and always under attack.

"Come here you fucking demon child you're nothing but trouble to this hole village and everyone init we'll probably be given a medal for killing you hahaha"

As he was running Naruto slipped into a hole it was dark damp and rather smelly.

"Come out demon boy I have something for you ha….."

"Swwwwwish THUD"

"Swwwwwish THUD"

"What the hell do you think your doing?" said an elderly but strong voice.

"WHAT THE FUCK AHHHHHHH"

Naruto new true fear in those moments when all he could hear was the chunin leaf Nins screams of pain as the unknown stranger did what ever it was that was causing such bloodcurdling creams.

"Come out boy"

"wh who are you and what do you want" stammered Naruto.

"Are you hearing to hurt me like the rest of the villagers?"

"No I have been sent to help you"

"wh what by who"

That doesn't matter just come out here so I can take a look at you don't worry things are going to get a lot better for you now that I'm here"

Naruto first poked his head out so just his spiky blonde hair and his eyes were showing.

The man was elderly at least as old as the 3rd he was obviously a ninja he had a scar going down the right side of his face that looked like a claw mark but what beast could have left a mark like that Naruto didn't know he carried a long thin sword and was surrounded by the strongest wind Naruto had ever felt yet it was wet and dry at the same time and Naruto could feel a powerful charka enveloping it. threw it to the snakes who fell upon it after they had finished doing whatever it was that they had done to the thing that the strange man had threw they poofed and disappeared.

When the man saw Naruto was looking he calmed down so that the boy wouldn't be scared if he was going to do the job the Hokage had given him he would need the boys trust his charka became less and less visible his eyes lost there blackness and turned into a pale shade of blue Naruto would have thought that the old man was blind if he hadn't turned his head and looked right at him.

"come on out boy I haven't got all day now lets have a look at you"

Naruto slowly got out of is hole and slowly walked over to the man once he got close enough the old man sheathed his sword on his back and flashed a surprising yet winning smile at Naruto upon seeing this Naruto grew in confidence and walked up a bit faster to the old man.

"who are you"

"I am a former head captain of the Konoha ANBU and I have been sent by the 3rd Hokage Saratobi to train you and be your personal body guard against the villagers until you can be called a genin". Naruto's eyes widened in shock and happiness.

"thanks mister"

"haha you're welcome boy my name is Akane and it means: deep red because I leave nothing but blood in my wake but I am known to only the oldest and high up ninjas of the village and I am normally known as the elementist because I have the knack for combining elements to make hole new and devastating attacks I was the one who taught the 3rd the more finer points of this fighting style I am also an elemental medic nin".

Upon hearing this Naruto's eyes widened in wonder.

"what's that mister"

"an elemental medic nin is some 1 who has such a mastery of chakra control that they can not only heal normal wounds with frightening speed but can even heal major wounds that even elite medic nin like the sanin Tsunade would have a problem with them and might even find it impossible not only that but we also have the power to heal damage caused by the elements such as cold or heat"

"wow mister can I learn how to do that"

At this question the old man smiled and laughed

"hahaha well you didn't think I would be you're body guard forever did you that's the second part of my assignment I'm to train you in fighting with the elements but I warn you the training will be hard and dangerous there's a 60chance that you're going to die so if you decide to go thorugh with it tell me now so we can get started ok"

Naruto put his hand behind dab a back of his head in a ahh shucks movement.

"I will be Hokage someday believe it mister so I will be you can teach me all you like"

The man smiled at this comment for the 3rd had said he would say exactly that well lets get started shall we and he took out 5 cards now lets see what you can do.

"close your eyes and focus a small amount of chakra into the cards"

Naruto tried his best but found it hard to channel chakra after a minute though Akane took the cards back from him when Naruto looked into the old mans face he had a smile.

"hmmm"

"what is it mister?"

"well it would seem that you have wind elemental chakra and water but amazingly you have earth elemental chakra as well"

"cool so when can I join a genin team and go on some missions?"

"hahaha you dumb fuck you're a fucking weakling you could never be on a genin team if you were I would assassinate you myself just out of discuss hahaha"

"then what the fuck was the point of all that then if I can't be on a genin team yet?"

"well first you need to learn how to create a Bunshin but were going to fuck the basics and go straight to kage bunshins ok?"

Naruto's eyes widened then focused.

"ok now boy pump as much chakra into this move as possible ok?"

Naruto started to charge as power into it as possible he could feel more and more of it coming out as he focused on his hand sign.

"KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUSTSU"

"HOLFY SHIT" said Akane as he jumped out the way as a thousand Narutos appeared Naruto opened his eyes and stared around in disbelief as his eyes widened in joy and shock he stuck one thumb in the air and shouted.

"BELIEVE IT"

Just before he fainted.

As all the shadow clone started to poof away Akane thought to himself hmm this boy is going be interesting very interesting indeed.
