The Fan Warrior

Ch1. Meeting Her

Tsunade stopped suddenly as the green wall came into view.

"Your on your own kid," She said. " I won't go any farther, she would hate to see me any way."

Naruto waved at the Hokage as he closed the gate behind himself and entered the Yabuki compound. He noticed that this compound loosely resembled the Uchiha compound. It was in disrepair, but that was were the resemblance ended. Where the Uchiha compound's buildings had seen death and it's clan fight back against it's killer this compound had only seen the cowardice of it's clan, running when they should have been fighting to save the lives of their kin. The Uchiha's had been the main branch while the Yabuki had been a minor branch of the Uchiha clan.

Naruto noticed a house down the street that looked repaired and used. When he came to stand in front of the house a women stood poised in the doorway. He debated whether to get into a fighting stance, but he didn't want to threaten the women. She was dressed in a dark grey kimono that reached her knees, the hem of the dress was red with an intricate black design crawling up the fine material. Her dark hair was pinned up with a pair of kansashi, a string of red beads hung from each end of the pins. A black cloth was wrapped around her waist, two folding fans were tucked into the cloth . A red paper fan was held in her right hand while her left hand rested lazily on her hip.

She was slender, tall, and had the complexion and all the features of the Uchiha clan. Her dark eyes scanned the young ninja standing in front of her.

"Aren't you bold." she stated leaving no room for Naruto to argue.

"Yabuki, Miu?" He asked.

Miu smiled cocking an eyebrow. "You are?' she replied.

"Uzumaki, Naruto."

"I suppose you expect me to teach you." she sighed fluttering her fan at him. Naruto was surprised when the breeze from her fan started to pull at his clothes. "Didn't expect that, eh?"

"I didn't think I'd feel that at all." Naruto sputtered.

"The fan is chakra enhanced," Miu stated holding it up. "even a mere flick of the wrist could knock a child down, now a strong pump of my arm could possibly have you on the ground." She brought the fan back down, showing that she wasn't threatened by him anymore. " Again I ask, you want me to teach you?"

"Yes."

"Give me a reason. Has your clan helped me in some way and now think I owe a favor to them?"

"No, I have no clan, and I certainly haven't done any favors for you." The blonde shinobi retorted.

"Why then?" She asked impatiently.

Naruto held his breath and looked away then he turned back. 'I can't tell her,' he argued with himself 'she might not help if she knew.'

"Believe me kid, if I hadn't seen any thing promising in you I might not have let you stand their half as long as you have." She stated softly. "Just tell me why, I won't turn you away. It's pretty lonely here believe it or not." Miu chuckled.

"I-I, well that is, I'm trying to rescue Sasuke." The ninja replied muttering Sasuke's name at the end. While he had said this he had turned his face downwards because of the pale blush he knew would form. Naruto felt soft warm hands rest on his whiskered cheeks. His cerulean eyes shot upward as his head was lifted.

"I agree to teach you Naruto-kun." She whispered, a smile forming on her face. Her midnight eyes met Naruto's blue and in that instant he felt like he was back in the presence of his best friend and rival.

"Arigato Miu-sensei!" He shouted grabbing the older women into a bear hug. His old self was shining through at the moment. The Naruto that had been around as long as Sasuke had stayed in Konoha, but after he left the blonde shinobi was never as cheerful as he used to be. Miu's eyes opened wide in surprise, she felt uncomfortable but she wrapped her arms tight around the orange and black clad youth. "I'll work hard I promise, I want to the learn the art of the fan, the most powerful wind techniques, everything!" An enchanting smile lit his face.

"Good," she managed, after breaking out of Naruto's grip. "I'll work you to the bone. But don't use formalities like sansei with me."

"Then don't call me Naruto-kun either." He grinned.

"Deal." She extended her hand.

"Deal." he agreed clasping her hand and pumping it a few times.

"Come on then." She beckoned towards her house. "I'll feed you and give you a bed for tonight. But tomorrow go home and get the things you will need. If you want me to train you then you will have to stay here for as long as necessary."

"Sounds fine with me." He assured her.

T-h-e-N-e-x-t-D-a-y

Naruto stepped out into the bright sunlight. He turned around to wave good-bye to his new sensei. But when he was facing her she frowned.

"I want you back in half an hour or I will come find you. That orange jumpsuit is hard to miss." Miu growled in faux seriousness, she smiled hesitantly and waved.

"Alright, but admit it. I'm already growing on you." The blonde ninja teased.

"Shut up and leave baka!" She added slamming the door close. Naruto chuckled and made his way towards Konoha. He had to exit both the Yabuki and Uchiha compounds, which might only take him a few minutes to do so.

He decided to use the trees to get back to his apartment. Naruto was surprised that not very many people were out. It was a early noon on a Saturday, the road he was following would have at least a dozen or so people traveling on it. When Naruto finally reached his apartment it took him about fifteen minutes to pack and rummage around his apartment putting miscellaneous items into the small backpack he was using along with a duffel bag. He had stuffed lots of clothes and his extra shurikens and kunais into the duffel bag and a couple of wind scrolls that had most of the jutsus he had learned from Jiraiya written on them.

He glanced towards the clock on the wall, it was only six o'clock. He still had some time to fool around before he had to return to the Yabuki compound. Naruto yawned and fell backwards onto the bed making the springs scream in rebellion. He smiled as his body melted into the familiar mattress and relaxed. His eyes began to close and he drifted into the world of nightmares and dreamscapes.
