"Hey Naruto your dad is looking for you!" a girl, no older than Naruto shouted, her voice echoing in the cave, Naruto smiled slightly.
"I'm on my way Ino-san!" Naruto shouted, picking the five swords up and sealing them into a scroll that was as long as his arm.
"Hey Naruto-kun, as I was saying your dad wanted to see you. Something about the Ninja academy, later." Ino said, her voice was fine, Naruto noticed, but there was an odd blue aura coming off her body, moving away from her body, and vanishing in the air.
'What the heck, I wonder if anyone else can see this, maybe this is some unique bloodline, what do you think Kyuubi-san?' Naruto asked his furry tenant.
"I doubt it, after all you hold the Swords of the Underworld Rivers, you can see what mere mortals can not. Now listen don't get cocky simply because I accepted you as a host, after all you still need training, also if you start ramen binging again I will take control of your body every time you sleep." Kyuubi said, her voice even and steady.
'I didn't plan on it Kyuubi-san, so when does my training begin?' Naruto asked, halfway to the Hokage's tower where his dad was probably either sleeping or just ignoring paperwork, or both, but such was not the case as Naruto opened the door to reveal not only his father but his mother, three jounin, two ANBU, and Jiraiya.
"Alright kid, we know that Kyuubi has decided he woul-" the ANBU started but Naruto corrected him.
"She, Kyuubi is a girl, idiot."
"It doesn't matter, as I was saying the Kyuubi has decided she would use you as a host, now we have two options, one we will kill you on the spot, or two we throw you in jail, which do you want?" the ANBU asked, both of them looking at him, meanwhile Minato, Naruto's father, got an edgy look and winked, Naruto, realizing what his dad meant, started making hand signs, the ANBU, who thought the kid was joking, just laughed.
"You'll regret laying a finger on me. My father might revoke your status as ANBU, after all he was the one who helped Kyuubi seal herself inside me." Naruto shrugged his shoulders as Minato burst into laughter.
"I've told them a hundred times that, but old man Danzo refuses to listen. Just know this, any ninja who tries to hurt my son over this Kyuubi issue will have to deal with far worse than a revocation of status." Minato stated, going from laughter to an outright sombering tone, striking fear in all who heard.
As Naruto turned towards his father's desk he winced, he had somehow exhausted most of his chakra in attempting to get the five swords, as he attenpted to set down in a nearby chair, he fell asleep, clutching the scroll that had the five sworrds sealed within.
The next day Naruto awoke in his room, the scroll set on his night stand, with a note beside it
'Hey Naruto, if your reading this then your late, meet me at the academy
Signed,
Minato Namikaze
P.s.:If you can, eat breakfast, don't be too hungry on your first day of the ninja academy.'
Right under the P.s. note there was a crude drawing done by Minato of himself , sticking the peace sign out.
"Alrighty then, now I want to dress to impress, so that means I'll wear my black outfit, with these babies." Naruto said to himself as he quickly changed clothes and unsealed two of the five swords. "Phlegethon and Acheron.." he added as he placed the two swords on his side, a prideful smile plastered on his face. Naruto picked up a nearby Hiraishin kunai and flung it in the direction of the academy, immediately he vanished in a yellow blur and reappeared in front of the academy.
"Alright class, I'm sure many of you know our newest student, and truthfully he shouldn't be joining us so late in the year, but after a quick demonstration of his skills we allowed him, Naruto Namikaze." Iruka Umino said, pointing to Naruto, who bowed as his name was called.
"My name is Naruto Namikaze, my likes are creating my own jutsu, learning new jutsu, and my old friend Orochimaru, who has helped me learn some new jutsu, my dislikes are the time it cooks for ramen, as well as a man that betrayed his clan and killed them off to master a truly forbidden technique, my dream is to become a kage, and my hobbies are hanging out with the few friends I have and creating new jutsu." Naruto finished, taking a seat beside one of the only females he trusted, Hinata Hyuga.
"Hi Naruto." Hinata said, smiling as she gave Naruto a quick hug.
"Also we have a test today, sorry Naruto but you have to take it as well." Iruka said, Naruto shrugged, he didn't really care.
The test, as everyone figured out, was harder than they thought. Naruto, however, simply looked at Iruka like he was insane.
"A basic chakra control exercise, your kidding right?" Naruto asked, picking up an eraser with a chakra string and flinging it at Iruka.
"YOU LITTLE BRAT!" Iruka shouted, Naruto looked mad for a second before making a hand sign.
"Sexy jutsu." Naruto said, and in a poof of smoke a female version of himself appeared, Iruka went flying, twin streams of blood acting like jets.
"CUT THE STUPID TRICKS!" Iruka shouted, hitting Naruto over the head.
"It isn't stupid, look around me, now anyone with a bloody nose is a pervert, see now you know who to keep away from girls, apparently you need to stay away from females." Naruto said, a sly smile on his face, he looked behind him, only two males didn't have bloody noses, and they were both asleep, Shikamaru Nara and Sasuke Uchiha. There were, strangely, three girls who had bloody noses, Ino Yamanaka, Sakura Haruno, and some girl with green hair.'Disturbing, well at least I picked out the perverted bisexuals in the class. Note to self: Annoy Ino-san by using the Sexy jutsu whenever she is nearby.' he thought to himself, a smirk on his face.
After the academy was over Naruto went to find someone who said he would help him with swords if he ever got one, Hayate Gekko.
"Hello Naruto." Hayate cheerfully greeted Naruto.
"You look horrible Hayate, what's wrong?" Naruto asked, and truthfully it looked like Hayate hadn't gotten any sleep for a while.
"Nothing, I'm-cough- fine, just a -cough-little-cough-under the weather-large cough-." Hayate said, wheezing slightly.
"Don't believe him kit, unsheath Acheron and hold it to the ground, focusing on Hayate-san." Kyuubi said from her cage, a knowing look on her fox-like features.
"Acheron, second river of the underworld, show me this man's affliction." Naruto whispered, and immediately he felt like he had the Byakugan, he saw Hayate's chakra points, and saw that one was weakening near his lungs.
"Kit get him to a doctor, or better yet a Hyuuga." Kyuubi stated calmly, the chakra point near Hayate's lungs was becoming weaker by the second. "There's a chance we caught this in time, so don't waste time!" Kyuubi shouted, Naruto, nodding, sheathed Acheron and grabbed Hayate before throwing a Hiraishin kunai towards where the hospital was, all in one quick jerk of his body.
"Hello Naru-kun, you here for a check-up? What happened to Hayate-kun?" the nurse quickly asked, seeing Hayate coughing up a storm.
"Chakra point near his left lung, failing, get Hizashi Hyuga to help him, quick." Naruto said, feeling his body reach it's limits, the nurse nodded before creating a shadow clone to take Hayate and ran off towards Hizashi Hyuga, who had just stepped into the main office, who took Hayate to an E.R faster than one could say "Help."
Hayate's chakra point had nearly vanished, but thanks to Hizashi he was fine and resting up, much to Naruto's happiness, Now Naruto realized he had another problem, no one to teach him how to use a sword, and then someone cleared their throat.
"Kit, I can't train you as well as Hayate can with swords, but I can at least teach you some of the jutsu that can only be done by a wielder of those swords. so let's not waste time, find a nice training ground." Kyuubi said, Naruto nodded as he began running towards what he assumed would be an empty training ground, however upon arrival, four people were there training.
"YOUR YOUTHFULNESS WILL BE INCREASED EXPONENTIALLY IF YOU WEAR THESE!" a man with living eyebrows and a horrible bowl cut shouted, Naruto twitched as he looked at the three horrible suits he held up, three spandex suits.
"YOSH, GUY-SENSEI I WILL WEAR IT!" a younger version of the man shouted, much to Naruto's disgust, and apparently to his teammates as well.
"Hmm, seems we have a guest." the man said, in a regular unloud voice.
"It's only Naruto, Guy-sensei, remember, the Hokage's son." Neji said, walking towards Naruto. "Help me, please." he whispered to Naruto, a frightened tone evident in his voice.
"No can do Neji-san, unless you want to go to the academy and be there for an extra year." Naruto said, Neji looked even more afraid at having to go back to the academy.
"Fine, anyway Naruto this is my team, Might Guy, Tenten, Rock Lee, and, of course, myself." Neji said, Naruto nodded to each one of them, and winked at Tenten. 'Naruto, your acting like Jiraiya of the Sannin again, I wonder how long before this one kicks your ass though.' Neji thought to himself before seeing Naruto with a large bump on his head.
"Ouch, apparently Lee doesn't like people trying to get a date with Tenten." Naruto said, a blushing Tenten staring at Naruto.
"Naruto-san, your father is strong, you and Neji are my eternal rivals, do not disappoint me, now let us spar, I want to test your true strength." Lee said, taking a basic taijutsu stance, Guy and Neji sighed weakly.
"I don't spar, I kill." Naruto said, an ominous glow present in his eyes as he pulled Styx out of the scroll.
"That sword won't help you Naruto-san." Lee said as he rushed Naruto, who blurred out of reality. "Hiraishin?" Lee asked, having seen the technique before.
"No, this is much faster than Hiraishin, Lee-san, this is the Flowing of the Styx." Naruto said, the ominous glow in his eyes increasing more. "Style of Styx: Rampant Souls of the dead." he shouted, making a single hand sign and cutting his leg deeply, but no blood spurted out, no it was all absorbed by the sword, and if one listened closely they could hear what sounded like hundres of people moaning and groaning in pain, Naruto sliced the air in front of him and a blast of skulls shot towards Lee, luckily for Lee, Guy picked him up and moved him out of the way a split-second before the skulls hit him. The skulls continued on and hit a tree, leaving the impression of a skull before returning to the sword, the ominous glow vanishing slowly. Neji, acting on instinct, rushed Naruto to knock him out before something worse happened, but his hand was caught by a grinning Naruto, the grin on his face and glow in his eyes far more terrifying than just moments ago. "Neji-san, not smart of you to attack me like that, so of Acheron:Charon's tiredness." he said, making a set of hand signs that sent Neji into dreamland, this time the evil on Naruto's features vanished fully and he passed out, Guy was breathing hard, releasing a hand sign he made.
"That was a chakra drainer, unluckily for Neji it took longer than most people, sorry Tenten, when Neji and Lee wake up tell them to meet here tomorrow at one in the morning." Guy said, dragging his way along, Tenten sweat dropped.
'I couldn't do a thing.' Tenten thought to herself as she pulled Neji, Lee, and Naruto up to a fallen tree trunk so she could keep an eye on them.
A few hours later and Tenten had dozed off, Naruto woke up along with Lee.
"Sorry Lee, I got carried away." Naruto said and the two fell back asleep, bodies too tired to do anything.
In various places across the land slight pulsations began occurring, as if trying to find someone, the largest pulse came from underneath the waterfall at the Valley of The End.
