I do not own Naruto or any related characters

And So It Begins

-------------------------------------------------

This was it Naruto was taking his first steps into becoming strong enough to bring Sasuke back. Jiraya had originally wanted to take Naruto, but he requested that Jiraya only check up on him and let him wander on his. Jiraya at first refused saying how was he to learn without a sensei. Naruto merely chuckled and responded by saying Jiraya could drop of scrolls for him. Jiraya was hesitant but agreed if the boy wanted to walk his own path he did not want to stop him.

"Today is the day" Naruto thought. He had all of his things gathered and was at the village gate. Next to him, was Jiraya he was to walk with him until they were out of sight then he would leave. He would leave a scroll whenever he mastered a technique. They walked for a little while longer before Jiraya turned to him. "Well gaki, here is your first scroll." said Jiraya. Naruto smiled, "Thank you Ero-sannin." Jiraya chuckled and said, "I will deliver your next one when you master that technique. Well, see you around." With that Jiraya vanished.

Naruto looked at the road ahead and smiled. He will finally become stronger. He decided to head toward the Land of Waves to learn water jutsu and to see Tazuna and his family again.

-----------------------------------------------------

Sugoi! Thought Naruto he never expected for them to name the bridge after him. Naruto had stopped to see the new bridge and was shocked to see the nameplate read The Great Naruto Bridge. He sat and stared for another ten minutes before he started to cross. After he made it across the bridge he decided to see some other old friends he met here. Naruto was solemn as he reached the graves of Zabuza and Haku. It had been a long time since he had been here.

He sat for a while and prayed. When he was done he got up and began to leave as he did he looked back one last time and noticed something strange. The sword of Zabuza was pulsating as if calling to him. He was not sure what to do but it was as if the sword wanted him to take it. Naruto was scared, "Am I good enough" he thought. He stood and thought of it for some time before he decided he was taking it. He had to in order to carry on the memory of the two who had taught him how important his precious people were.

Naruto slowly walked through town the sword of the demon of the mist on his shoulder. He kept up this leisurely pace until he heard someone scream his name. He slowly turned behind him and grinned. Standing there with a bag of groceries on the ground was Tsunami. "Is that really you?" she asked. Naruto kept his smile and nodded. "What are you doing here? Why do you have that sword? Where are your teammates? Do you have a placed to stay?" she asked in one breath. Naruto sweat dropped and said, "Training, needed a weapon, long story, and no" Tsunami frowned and preceded to drag him back to her house.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

At Tsunami's house everyone was delighted to see Naruto again. Inari had begun to train and get stronger like Naruto had told him to so long ago. Tazuna looked older but was the same as ever. When they had seen Naruto they decided to have a party in celebration of the return of old friends. After the party and Inari going to bed Naruto explained what had happened at the Valley of the End. Tazuna and Tsunami were shocked to hear Sasuke would do a thing like that but believed Naruto. After exchanging some more stories for a time, Naruto then went up to bed.

The next morning, Naruto got up early and left to start with his first scroll. Naruto unrolled the scroll and looked at the jutsu it contained.

Kigenso Chuusatsu no jutsu

Rank- B to A depending on the amount of chakra put in.

Description- Surrounds the limbs with a different element. The legs are surrounded by water and fire. While the arms are protected by wind and lightning. Does not rely on the user's affinity only on the amount of chakra.

Seals- Hebi, Tora, and Tori

Naruto smiled as he finished reading the scroll. He then set down the scroll and took a few steps back. He preformed the seals and called out the name of the technique, "Kigenso Chuusatsu no jutsu!"

All of a sudden, there was a roar as his legs were engulfed by roaring flames and raging water. He looked up as his arms were covered in howling wind and screaming lightning. Naruto smiled and ran and slammed his hand into the tree. It only took seconds for the winds to rip the tree apart. He wasted little time to see what his other limbs could do. He was overjoyed when he realized that each limb does the exact same amount of damage. He released the jutsu and fell on his back.

As he was lying on his back, he looked up to the sky, "And so it begins."
