"Naruto please come up and take the exam," a chunnin says into the room full of pre ninjas. A boy no older then 12 years old stands up from the corner of the room wearing an orange and blue jumpsuit. He slowly comes down the steps thinking 'I won't fail this time believe it'
As soon as Naruto was going down the steps his other classmates started to diminish him.
"Why don't you just quit being a ninja?" A boy with a dog said which barked in agreement.
"You won't pass and you know that dobe," a emo like boy said.
"Shut up Sasuke-teme this time I will pass and I'll just show you how strong I am," Naruto yelled at Sasuke while walking down the stairs.
"As if no one is better then my Sasuke-kun," a girl with pink hair said.
"That's right and besides you're dead last while My Sauske-kun is close to getting the Rookie of the year," a girl with blond hair said.
"What was that Ino pig, Sauske-kun belongs to me,"
"What are you talking about Sakura, Sasuke-kun belongs to me forehead girl,"
"How troublesome another fangirl fight," a boy said as he saw the other girls in the classroom start to join in on the fight.
"Well this happens all the time," a boy said as he opened a bag of chips.
Naruto then finished walking down the stairs and continued to the Genin testing room as he didn't want to be in the classroom when the Fan girl fight broke out.
Naruto entered the room and saw two chunnins sitting at the opposite side of the classroom.
"Naruto to pass this test you are to form at least 3 or more Bunshins to pass the genin exam,"
"Aw man Iruka-sensei can't I do any other technique maybe like the Henge?" Naruto asked a bit worried.
"No Naruto now do 3 Bunshins,"
"Ok here it goes, Bunshin," Naruto shouted as he slammed his hands together. Smoke appeared around Naruto which soon dissipated to reveal 2 Naruto's one who which looked sickly like.
"Naruto you fail," the Chunnin said calmly as if he had expected Naruto to fail.
"Seriously Naruto shouldn't you practice more before you take the Genin exam?" The Chunnin next to Iruka asked.
Although the two Chunnin kept on talking Naruto just walked out the door only one thing going in his mind 'I failed the Genin exam 3 times, I really am a loser,'
When Naruto walked back to the classroom full of his classmates everyone in the classroom noticed that he didn't have a forehead protector.
"Once a dobe always a dobe," Sasuke said as he watched Naruto walk back to his seat.
"Seriously you should give up on becoming a ninja if you can't pass the genin exam after 3 tries," Kiba said in a mocking tone.
"Looks like you were all talk and no action," Sakura said.
"That's what you get for insulting Sasuke-kun," Ino said.
Naruto just ignored all the comments made against him and once in his seat he put his head down and went into deep thought.
'Is becoming Hokage really possible for me? In a village that hates me for some reason and my classmates who are all better than me. Maybe I should just give up just like Kiba said.'
"Finally the dumb boy actually starts to think," a mysterious voice says through his mind.
'It has finally happened; I've gone bad enough that my conscious is talking to me in a dark mysterious voice,
"Bahh I'm not you're conscious but a being that is living inside of you. But going to your previous thoughts I think it is a wise idea if you left this god forsaken village,"
'Should I really trust this voice that is echoing throughout my head?'
"Yes I know what is best for you so just leave this village. It's not like anybody would miss you if you ran away anyway,"
'Maybe I should trust this voice I mean barely anybody cares for me if I'm right I think only Hokage oji-san cares for me while everyone else hates me. Before I do go though who are you?'
"I'll tell you another time when we meet face to face, now wake up and prepare to leave this hell hole of a place," the voice said before it disappeared.
Naruto looked up from his desk and noticed that everyone was leaving the room. The exams had been finished and everyone except for him became a ninja. "Why bother becoming a ninja?" Naruto said under his breath as he walked out and headed home.
As Naruto left the academy one teacher was looking around for him. "Where did that little brat go?" Mizuki asked as he looked all over for Naruto. "Looks like I'll have to steal the forbidden scroll myself," Mizuki said as he vanished in a swirl of leafs.

Later at night Naruto with a backpack full of his belongings left his house and ran to the main gate of Konoha. "I hope I can get by," Naruto said as he reached the gate and noticed two Chunnin guards stationed there. As Naruto neared the gate the two Chunnins looked active and saw Naruto walking towards them.
"Where do you think you're going brat?" One of the Chunnin asked.
"You do know that underage kids are not allowed to leave at night," the other guard said.
"I don't care and I'm leaving," Naruto said as he put his hands together and said "Henge," a cloud of smoke appeared around Naruto as the two Chunnin pulled out kunais ready to defend themselves. When the smoke cleared both Chunnin stood shell shocked for a few seconds before they both had a huge nosebleed effectively knocking both out.
"Looks like all grown ups in Konoha are perverts," Naruto said as he ran into the forest outside of Konoha.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I can't believe I was able to steal the forbidden scroll so easily," Mizuki said as he jumped from tree to tree. As Mizuki traveled the ninja way he noticed a certain Naruto also running away from Konoha.
"Great now I get to kill a demon before I leave Konoha I suffered too much because of this brat," Mizuki said as he thought back to all the pranks that Naruto had played on him. "I still feel the pain from that last prank with those tarantulas," Mizuki said as he remembered tarantulas suddenly falling on him during class. Mizuki then started to close the distance between him and Naruto with intent to kill.
As for Naruto he suddenly felt a weird sensation behind him as if someone was trying to kill him. It wasn't much but it made Naruto have an image as if someone was killing him for a second.
'What's going on?' Naruto thought as he started to pick up his pace.
"Start running boy because I don't want to die because a pathetic teacher killed you," the deep voice said. "And don't question me just start running,"
Naruto complied as he started to run faster away from the area he got the killer intent from.
"Damn did the boy pick up that I was chasing him no matter I'll just catch him then kill him," Mizuki said as he too started to pick up the pace using his chakra. Unknown to the two humans 4 figures stood watching the whole scene.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I don't think I can run much farther," Naruto said as he stopped near a cliff. He then turned his back to the cliff ready to face whoever was coming at him. Naruto waited for a few seconds and soon saw his teacher Mizuki come out from the trees.
"Sensei?" Naruto asked as he saw Mizuki come closer to him with a fuma shuriken.
"Naruto it's payback time for all the horrible pranks you played on me," Mizuki said as he stepped closer to Naruto.
"Why do you want to kill me so much, I mean the pranks were harmless… well most of them at least," Naruto said as he remembered putting small explosives in Mizuki's pants which all exploded and had Mizuki in the hospital for a week.
"That's true Naruto one of the other reasons I want to kill you is because of a certain S-rank secrete that was made 12 years ago which no one is allowed to talk about especially in front of you,"
"What is the secrete that I can't know about?" Naruto asked with a huge amount of curiosity.
"I'm pretty sure you know the story about the demon fox even though you slept most of the time during class. Well you know how the fourth killed the demon fox," Mizuki said as he got a nod from Naruto. "Well that's a lie. The truth is that 12 years ago the demon fox was sealed in a boy, a boy name Uzumaki Naruto," Mizuki finished.
When Naruto heard his name he stood there petrified as if frozen by killer intent. The demon fox which was believed to be dead 12 years ago was sealed inside him. "No that can't be true," Naruto said as he took a few steps back getting closer to the cliffs edge.
"Believe it or not it's true and today I'll become a hero because I killed the demon fox," Mizuki said as he spun his fuma shuriken and threw it at Naruto. Naruto watched as the metal object started to close the distance between them before Naruto moved the right a bit scratching his arm from the blades.
"This is not fair," Naruto said before he stepped back again from the pain. When Naruto stepped back the area he was on crumbled, dropping Naruto to the dark abyss below.
"Heh, he couldn't have survived that," Mizuki said as he started to go back into the forest. When he did enter the forest he felt a huge amount of killer intent coming at him and before he knew it a sword plunged right through him. As Mizuki started to fall down into death he saw 4 figures with tail standing around him.
"He probably wouldn't die because of the Kyuubi," one of the figures said as it picked up the scroll and walked toward the cliff.
"I still can't believe that the last remaining clan member has a fox inside of him I mean foxes and wolfs don't get along,"
"We'll just have to bare with it seeing how he is the last clan member,"
"I just hope he can accept all the information that he is going to know of soon," the last figure said before all four jumped down the cliff.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Wet, he felt his body half submerged in water as he started to regain consciousness. Naruto stood up and saw the reason why he felt wet; he was in a sewer like complex which had many tunnels in it.
"Where am I?" Naruto asked no one in particular as he stood up, not wanting to be wet.
"Come over here boy," the mysterious voice said a bit louder then normal.
Naruto walked down the halls each time he stopped to think where to go he would hear the voice a bit louder each time leading him in the right direction. After a few minutes of walking Naruto reached the end of the maze of tunnels which was a room with a giant cage on the other side of the room. When Naruto wondered why a giant cage would be there Naruto saw what was in it.
A giant red fox was on the opposite side of the cage with nine tails.
"Kyuubi?" Naruto asked carefully.
"Heh the mortal guesses right on his first try. Yes I am the Kyuubi and you know how I got sealed inside of you so I don't need to explain it to you. Now are you going to start complaining to me about my influence on your life because if you are don't it never does anyone any good especially if I know what has happened to your life," Kyuubi said with a huge foxy grin.
"I technically can't blame you because of what happened and how you got sealed in me was not of your choice. Although I do wonder why you attacked Konoha which practically made every adult hate you and move their hate from you to me,"
"Wisely spoken, but I still hold a grudge against the ninja from your village and especially you because you are of his decent," Kyuubi said as it spat out in disgust the last part. "Well anyway if you die I die so you'll feel some pain as I use my chakra to heal any wounds and broken bones you got from that fall now go back,"
'He didn't answer my question,' Naruto thought as his mind form was blown away from the chakra that the Kyuubi released.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After being blasted awake by the Kyuubi Naruto found himself floating down a river while he couldn't move one limb. 'Well this is a problem,' Naruto thought as he noticed his body started to float down the river faster.
'Crap there must be a rapid or something up ahead. I need to get to dry land quick,' Naruto thought as he tried to move his sore arms. As he did though he noticed it felt like a knife was going through his arms.
"Damn I'm going to die aren't I?" Naruto said as he started to the river started to carry him farther down and faster. Seeing a branch in the way Naruto willed his arms to catch it and hung on to it even with all the pain that went through his body. Just as Naruto couldn't hold on any longer from the pain and blacked out he felt someone grab him and jump away with him. "Who?" Naruto asked before he blacked out.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto opened his eyes slowly and when he did he saw someone else's face right in front of his. The face in front of him had a mask on and was smiling at him with upside down U's for eyes.
"AHHHHHH," Naruto screamed as he crawled backwards as fast as possible.
"He's awake guys," the man said as he looked at Naruto with amusement. Naruto turned in the he heard foot steps and saw three other people walking over towards him.
"He is a bit scrawny and short for his age," A girl who looked around 20 said. She had black hair with silver eyes which stood out. She was in a full black armor showing only skin at her wrists, ankles, and neck and stood around 5ft 4in.
"Not to worry about that we'll get him into good shape no time Tenshi-chan," a man around 20 years old said as he gave a Gai pose. This man had on a red Karate Gi which was a bit ripped around the arms giving it a savage look manily because he was 6ft. His red hair came down to cover a bit of his eyes which were red.
"You know you shouldn't do that Mic. You'll scare him even more," the man who was recently over Naruto said. The man was 5ft 9in and looked around his 30's. He had black spiked hair with grey eyes which were partly covered by spectacle he wore. He wore a grey cloak which covered his black shirt and jeans. Across his shirt he wore a belt like cloth which seemed to hold bottles which you could barely see.
"I concur with Kazuya, whenever you do that pose it just freaks everyone out," A women looking around 14 said as she came closer to Naruto. She was around 5ft 2in with blue hair and eyes. She wore a blue shirt which went over her arms, hiding her hands completely and had on blue regular jeans.
"B-b-but it's my trademark pose and I think it looks cool I'm pretty sure there are other people out there that appreciate it too Nami-chan," Mic says as he goes into another pose. Somewhere in Konoha a man in a spandex green suit sneezes.
"Enough!" Tenshi said, "I think we are scaring the little tamer over there," Tenshi said as she pointed over to the balled up Naruto at the corner of the cave.
"Well it's all Mr. I like to Pose In Freaky Ways fault right here," Nami said pointing at Mic.
"Well I don't see you helping with the situation," Mic says.
"Drop it already both of you," Kazuya said in an annoyed tone, "We seriously should explain what is happening to him," Kazuya said as he went over to Naruto and picked him up.
"Please no more freaky stuff," Naruto said as Kazuya picked him up and placed him in the center of the cave in the sight of the rest.
"Sorry but as things are right now your life won't be normal," Tenshi said looking down at the boy. "We're going to explain mostly everything you need to know right now so you might as well make yourself comfortable because this is going to take a while. Oh yeah the names Tenshi," She said pointing to herself.
"My names Mic," Mic said as he made another pose with a thumbs up position.
"Kazuya is my name," he said as he bowed down in a courteous manner.
"My turn, my turn the names Nami nice to meet you," the young girl said in a hyper manner.
"Na-Naruto," Naruto said cautiously still weary of the 4 newcomers.
"I guess we should start so you will believe us more," Kazuya said, "We should probably start with your lineage then the story," Kazuya looked at the others when they each gave a sign of approval he started.
"First thing you need to learn about are Inukami Tsukai. Inukami Tsukai's were people that made a pact with demon wolves to help fight against demons,"
"Wait a second. Demons fighting alongside with humans against other demons that doesn't make any sense at all," Naruto said in confusion.
"I can see why you're confused but not all demons get along with each other like Fox demons and Wolf demons," Kazuya said but then mentally slapped himself. 'Gack how am I going to tell him we are wolf demons?' Kazuya thought as the others shook their head clearly indicating they wouldn't help him with the problem.
"Umm… yeah as I was saying before Inukami's helped fight against demons with a human partner. How this relates to you is that you are the last clan member of the Uzumaki clan which hunted demons alongside Inukami's which was on your mother's side," Kazuya finished and looked at Naruto to see if he had any questions.
Naruto just sat there thinking before saying, "Does that mean you hate me too because I have the Kyuubi inside of me and he is a fox demon and you guys are wolf demons?" Naruto asked which shocked all four of them.
"H-how did you know we are Inukami's?" Kazuya asked as he was the first one to get over the shock.
"Kyuubi told me and clarified everything for me while you talked. So answer my question do you or do you not?"
"Of course we don't hate you just because you have the Kyuubi inside of it makes you the Kyuubi or a fox demon. In fact it is better this way since now the Kyuubi has been disabled," Tenshi said quickly to cover up what Kazuya had done.
"…" Naruto remained speechless for a while. "Tell me is demon hunting better then being a ninja?" Naruto asked.
"Depends on what you think. Sometimes the mission's we do are tougher then the ones that ninja's do. Though you don't need to stick to being a demon hunter you could pick up being a mercenary and you'd still have the Inukami's honor," Mic said surprisingly with no pose.
"Besides we might have to start you on some mercenary mission's before you are able to hunt demons, even if we go after low level demons," Nami said.
"Great, but what about my dad's side of the family?" Naruto asked.
"Sorry kid we don't know anything about that," Kazuya said with a sad look on his face.
"Oh… It's alright I might find out later on anyway," Naruto said with renewed enthusiasm.
"Oh yeah and before you can actually hunt demons like Nami said before we will have you doing ninja missions and we have are own training menu. Besides we need to find you your partner before you can hunt demons more efficiently,"
"Aw man, well can we talk about this training menu tomorrow my body is really sore and I feel really tired," Naruto said with a yawn before he fell back and slept.
"So much like his mom when we first met her,"
"Yeah I won't forget that,"
"Well we should prepare for his training cough Torture cough tomorrow,"
"This will be fun."
"I know we haven't had someone relieve our stress on… I mean teach in a while,"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"RISE AND SHINE NARUTO," Naruto heard before he felt ice cold water land all over his body.
"COLD!!!!!" Naruto screamed as he literally jumped awake. Naruto turned around to see Mic with what looked like a bucket in his hand. Putting two and two together Naruto started to scream, "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?" Naruto said.
"Your wake up call and will be for the next few years if you don't wake up on time for training. I'm up first and we're training you in Taijutsu and body strengthening," Mic said as he led Naruto outside of the cave through the other end. When they reached the end Naruto was surprised to see a huge mansion underground.
"Why didn't you tell me there was something like this down here, I could've gotten some decent sleep then," Naruto said.
"Well you didn't ask and you looked so comfortable on the floor," Naruto just started at Mic as he led them through the mansion until they reached a dojo. The dojo was huge and had nature all around with some boulders on the side. "First you're going to warm up by running 10 laps around this dojo…,"
"That seems easy," Naruto quickly cut in.
"With a 50 pound boulder either on your back or in your arms your choice,"
"That's murder right there,"
"I know but if you don't do it then your body won't be able to stand up against me when we spar," Mic said as he gave a grin which made one of his tooth shine Naruto just shuddered. "After that you'll do 50 push ups 5 times each with the same boulder on your back. Then 50 sit ups 10 times each hanging from that pole," Mic pointed to a pole which was 20 feet off the ground.
"You have got to be joking me,"
"Nope and I have you for the next 4 hours so make sure you finish this all so we can get you to practice other stuff. Oh and before you do all these make sure you stretch and I'll help you there," Naruto just sweat dropped and whimpered.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
3 hours later Naruto was on his 40th sit up after doing them 9 times through.
"This is torture," Naruto said as he struggled up for the last 10.
"Come on Naruto do 10 more and you can rest for a while," Mic said from on the ground.
"I hate you so much," Naruto said under his breath as he finished his exercise. "I finished," Naruto said but lost balance and started to fall.
"You should really watch yourself," Mic said as he caught Naruto in mid air and landed on the ground. "Rest for 10 minutes and then I'll see your Taijutsu,"
"Finally rest," Naruto said as he laid down in relief.
'I'm pretty impressed that the kid managed to do all the exercises, oh well I'll just make them harder next time,' Mic thought before walking back to Naruto.
"That was 10 minutes?!" Naruto asked as he saw Mic come back.
"Yup now get up," Naruto obeyed and as soon as he stood up he saw Mic charge at him. 'crap,' Naruto thought as he saw Mic thrust his fist forward but was too fast for him to follow through.
Crash Naruto crashed hard into the other side of the Dojo as the hit sent him there quite easily.
"Damn he's strong," Naruto said before he got into his own academy taijutsu stance and charged Mic. Naruto threw a punch towards Mic face which he side stepped out of the way. Using his momentum from the punch Naruto lifted his leg in hope of hitting Mic. Mic saw this coming and caught the kick with ease and tossed him up into the air.
Mic then jumped into the air and did a summersault kick above Naruto sending him quickly to the ground. Naruto expecting to hit the ground braced himself but didn't expect to be kicked again into the air by Mic. 'How did he get there that fast,' Naruto thought as he flew up again. 'He's probably gonna launch me down again better block,' Naruto thought as he indeed saw Mic appear above him and slam his foot into Naruto's blocked chest.
'Now if I can only time it correctly,' Naruto thought as he saw the ground come closer and closer. When he was 6 feet above the ground Naruto held out his arms in front of him to catch a kick that he suspected would land in the area where he stuck out his hands. True to his guess Mic did appear there and did in fact kick where Naruto had stuck out his arms.
"Gotcha," Naruto said as he grabbed onto the leg and held on for dear life.
"You did think ahead, but did you think what I would do if I knew you were going to do that?" Mic said with an evil grin.
"O shit," Naruto said as he felt himself somehow fly backwards and slam into the war. As Naruto peeled himself off the wall he saw Mic charge at him and closed his eyes waiting for the inevitable punch although it never came. When Naruto opened his eyes he saw Mic directly in front of him with his fist a few inches away from his face.
"Kazuya came to pick you up so go," Mic said as he pointed to Kazuya leaning against the entrance.
"I hope you didn't kill him Mic because now it is my turn," Kazuya said with an evil grin. Naruto gulped and hoped that he would survive today.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto soon found himself in a room full of books and in the open areas in the middle tables filled with bottles of weird looking liquids.
"What are we going to be learning here?" Naruto asked as he looked around the huge room.
"Anatomy, Chemistry, Alchemy (Not the full metal alchemist kind), etc. Well just put it that you'll be learning a lot, enough to make your brain melt," Kazuya said calmly. Naruto just stared at him with a disbelieving look. "I want you to read those books over there and come back when you finish reading them. They shouldn't take you more than 2 hours together seeing how I cut most of the information that is taught by observations out,"
"Fine," Naruto grumbled as he looked at the two books over by the side. Chemicals for dummies and the Basics of the Human body, were the two things that were over by the side.
"Umm… How come I don't learn anything about history and stuff?" Naruto asked
"First of all I'm not a history teacher so I can't teach you there. Secondly although history is useful it won't help you survive in a one on one duel now will it?" Kazuya answered swiftly as he turned his attention to the nearest table with lots of liquids.
"This sucks," Naruto said as he started to read the book.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
2 hours later Naruto put down the 2nd book as trying to retain all the information he had just read. Not that it wasn't important or anything, it just was so boring reading something out of a book and most of the phrases in the books he didn't even understand.
"I see you finished the book. Lets see what you remember," Kazuya said as he produced a test out of no where.
"This definitely sucks," Naruto said silently as he stared at the test in front of him.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I'm here to pick Naruto up," Naruto heard the cheerful voice of Nami by the door. Secretly Naruto thanked her for coming at this time because the test he had to find the right answers of the test for the problems he had gotten wrong and boy were there a lot.
"You come at such inconvenient times Nami," Kazuya said with a frown on his face.
"Well it wasn't me who wrote his training schedule if I remember," Nami said as she rushed over to Naruto. "Let's go now," She said as she pulled Naruto out of the room. A few minutes later the two found themselves in a room that looked just like the outside. There was a lake to the side and surprisingly when Naruto looked up he could see the sky.
"How?" Naruto started as he looked up.
"You'll understand later," Nami said as she led him over to a tree, "But for now you'll learn how to climb a tree… without using your hands," when Nami had finished her sentence Naruto just stared at Nami as if she was crazy.
"But how can we do that?" Naruto asked as he looked at the tree in front of him, which seemed to stand to about 30 feet tall.
"I'm pretty sure you know about Chakra right?" Nami saw a nod from Naruto, "Well Chakra can be used for other activites other then Jutsu's. Right now I'm going to teach you how to control the flow of your chakra. You do this exercise by releasing Chakra and holding it to your feet at a constant amount so you stick onto the tree," Nami said as she walked up the tree. "I'll be waiting for you at the top," Nami said as she continued walking up.
"This has got to be a piece of cake," Naruto said as he ran at the tree focusing chakra like Nami had said to his feet. As Naruto lifted his foot to run up the tree he stuck on for a few seconds before he blasted off the tree landing on his back. "What happened?" Naruto asked a bit dazed.
"Oh yeah if you use too much chakra you will blast off like you just did, if you use to little chakra then you won't have enough to stick onto the tree… happy climbing's," Nami said as she lay down on a branch near the top of the tree.
"This is as bad as my other training sessions," Naruto said a bit dejectedly before continuing the exercise.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I made it Nami-sensei," Naruto said directly over Nami hanging upside down on the branch above her.
'He took 1 hour to finally master this tree climbing exercise not bad for a kid with the Kyuubi inside of him,' Nami thought as she looked at Naruto.
"Great job Naruto now walk down the tree and follow me," Nami said as she jumped off the tree landing on the ground without disturbing the grass below or making a sound at all.
"How do the Sensei's do that," Naruto said as he too followed after Nami only at a slower pace.
"You'll eventually learn," Nami said as they continued to walk. A few minutes later Naruto found himself in front of a very huge lake. "Alright Naruto, since you learned how to tree walk quick enough this time we'll do another exercise. This one focuses your chakra into your foot but you keep a steady stream of chakra so that your body stays on top of the water like this," Nami said as she walked on top of the water and came back to the less shocked Naruto.
"So that is what I'm going to be doing?" Naruto asked as he saw Nami walk closer to him.
"Yup, oh and a bit of advice this water tends to pull you down so I'd walk to shore as quickly as possible since swimming is nearly impossible, until you go through Mic's hell training," Nami said the last part under her breath.
"So why are you telling me to walk to shore quickly?" Naruto soon got his answer as he felt Nami grab him and somehow throw him into the middle of the lake.
"Ahh," Naruto screamed as he came down closer to the water. There was a splash and soon Naruto was trying to stay afloat trying to tread water. The problem was, just like Nami said he felt the water pull him down at a pretty quick rate. "Damn this," Naruto said as he treaded water and tried to concentrate chakra to his feet.
"This is like killing two birds with one stone. If you're wondering why in battle you have to concentrate your chakra while doing other actions like fighting, or in your case staying afloat," Naruto heard the voice of Nami above him. When he looked up he saw Nami floating in the air as if she had not a care in the world.
"How?"
"Save it, you won't be learning this until you complete your chakra training," Nami said as she started to fly back to shore. "I'll be waiting for you, Oh and another thing about the water, the longer you stay on or in the water the harder the water will pull on you,"
"Shit," Naruto said as he indeed felt the force of the water increase. "I have to get up quickly," Naruto said while treading faster to keep up. As Naruto concentrated his chakra to his feet and let a steady stream out he indeed felt his body rise up and out of the water. The problem was whenever he came up an inch the water would pull harder and he would have to expel more chakra.
"This definitely is not my day," Naruto said as he felt his concentration weaken.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A wet panting blond could be seen on shore. "So how was it?" Nami asked curiously as she came over to Naruto.
"You are evil," Naruto said in between pants.
"I was thinking about giving you some food since it is around lunch time but…"
"I take that back you are one of the kindest sensei's I've had all day," Naruto said quickly abruptly cutting Nami off.
"Well since you put it that way and my part of your training schedule is done follow me," Nami said calmly as she led Naruto across the field. They soon reached a door in the scenery which stood out since it was just a door in the middle of the field.
"What's going on?"
"You don't need to know… yet anyway just go on through," Nami said as she opened the door. As Naruto entered the door he soon found himself inside the mansion he was in before. "Follow me," Nami said quickly before Naruto could ask anymore questions.
The two soon found themselves in the kitchen where the other Inukami's where sitting at a table.
"I see that you put him in that hell like lake," Kazuya said calmly.
"Aww I wanted to be the one to introduce it to him in you training session," Mic said sadly.
"So how'd he do?" Tenshi asked.
"Pretty ok… but I think he needs more work, but for now I think all he's thinking about is ramen,"
"Ramen alright, since that's a pretty basic dish I'll be able to make it in a few minutes," Tenshi said up as she got up.
"Ramen," everyone heard from Naruto who said it in a zombie like tone.
"I think we need to get this kid some ramen quickly," Nami said as she stared at the half dead Naruto. A few minutes later a bowl of ramen was put in front of Naruto. Expecting Naruto to a bit faster then normal the Inukami's did their own thing. What surprised them when the bowl of ramen seemed to disappear in 5 seconds flat.
"Is that some kind of speed technique because my eyes could not even catch that?" Mic said in a shocked tone.
"More ramen please," Naruto said as he looked up at Tenshi who had her jaw down to frightening levels.
"Yeah sure…" Tenshi said as she brought another bowl of ramen. Just like before the bowl quickly disappeared leaving a still hungry Naruto. The process continued for a while until Tenshi grew tried of making more ramen.
"I'm full," Naruto said as he patted his stomach. The other's just looked at the towering amount of bowls that were stacked next to him.
"S-so Naruto anything you want to know about us?" Tenshi said as she tried to break the awkward silence.
"Will one of you be my partners? Because I see not other Inukami's other then you guys," Naruto said as he stared at the four.
"Well when we deem you worthy we could be your partners but usually we get someone else who would match with you to be your partner," Kazuya started. "You see we are not the only Inukami's out there the only reason why we picked you up and are teaching you right now is because we are Inukami's that have been recognized as the strongest so that is why we train you,"
"Well then where are the other Inukami's?" Naruto asked.
"In time you will see them, but not right now,"
"So… when will I get to meet my partner?" Naruto asked.
"As soon as we deem you worthy of getting a partner, and trust us that won't be for a long time," Nami said as she got up to leave.
"It's my turn to start training you," Tenshi said as she got up and indicated to Naruto to follow her. Naruto complied and soon found himself walking through the halls of the huge mansion again. "This should be it," Tenshi said as she opened a door. Inside was a wide open area with a lot of targets some visible while others were not. "I'll be training you to be a weapons master in my training," Tenshi said as she went over to the side.
"This place keeps on amazing me," Naruto said as he walked over to where Tenshi was.
"Here," Tenshi said as she tossed Naruto a bag. Naruto caught it and looked inside. There were Kunai's and throwing stars inside. "I want you to go through the obstacle course over there and I want you to keep on doing it until you hit every target in the bulls eye. And remember every target," Tenshi said as she led Naruto over to the far right side of the area.
"Where's the training course?" Naruto asked as all he saw in front of him was a door. The door soon opened and before Naruto could say anything Tenshi had pushed him inside.
As soon as Naruto stepped inside he found himself in a forest like area with a few visible targets around. "This is going to be easy," Naruto said as he took a step forward. As he did though a kunai came flying out of no where and hit where his foot would have landed. "Not good," Naruto said as he looked around. "I guess I have another torturer," Naruto said as he felt more kunai's come at him. While running to dodge the Kunai's Naruto started to throw his own ninja stars at the targets.
Most of them were intercepted by other Kunai's and stars while a select few hit the target but weren't even close to the bull's eye. "This sucks,"

Two hours later Naruto was still at the obstacle course trying to find the missing targets.
"Damn I hate this," Naruto shouted as he ran throughout the forest like area dodging Kunai's as they came at him from almost every direction. "Found it," Naruto said as he threw 3 kunai's at the target. Two of the kunai's deflected the incoming kunai's making the last kunai hit the bull's eye. "Yatta," Naruto said as he pumped his hand in the air as he saw no more Kunai's coming at him.
"That took you quite long," Naruto heard Tenshi's voice behind him.
Naruto turned around quickly to see Tenshi standing behind him, "How'd you get here without me noticing?"
"Well it was quite simple, first seeing how you are not trained in your senses yet, and secondly you are tired. Well that ends this part of the training now follow me," Tenshi said as she put her hand out in front of her and a door appeared. She opened it and motioned Naruto to go through. Once in Naruto found himself once again in the room he was in before.
"I'm guessing you won't tell me how this house works?" Naruto asked.
"Nope, it takes too much time. Anyway I'll be training you in other weaponry for now," Tenshi said as she led Naruto over a table on the side of the room. On the table were a variety of weapons which all looked like they could deal massive amounts of damage.
"Are these all the weapons I'm going to use?"
"Yes you'll learn how to use and master all of them, but select 2 from this pile and we'll make those two your trademark weapons… weapons you'll be the best with," Naruto just stared at the weapons in front of him and looked at the splendor.
After 30 minutes of going over the weapons Naruto chose a set of Katars, "I think these will do as my first choice," Naruto said as he tried both of them on his arm. They both fit perfectly as if they were meant for him. Naruto then looked over the weapons again and then found something else. It was a large sword handle and seemed to feel different from the rest. "I'll choose this one also," Naruto said as he picked up the sword handle. As soon as he did though he felt his chakra being pulled out of his body and into the sword.
"That's an interesting choice you chose there," Tenshi said as she watched a light blue blade form from the sword handle.
"What is this sword? It's making me feel weak," Naruto said as he felt light headed.
"That my student is a sword that doesn't have a direct form and instead absorbs your chakra to make it's own blade or any shape you want it to be. Not many people are able to wield one seeing it almost depletes the bearer's chakra," Tenshi said as she walked over to Naruto. "I guess that will be it for today seeing as you already had a tough day," Tenshi said as she led Naruto out of the room.
Before they reached the exit Naruto finally remembered something, "Where do I sleep?" Naruto asked as he remembered sleeping in the cave last night.
"Oh yeah… right you see… we haven't really thought about that… heh heh…" Tenshi said nervously as she immediately felt the other Inukami's who were coming towards them go away.
"Can't you just give me a room?" Naruto asked.
"I could but then it would deplete my energy," Tenshi said while thinking 'Damn those bastards for leaving as soon as he mentioned where he should sleep,'
"Could you do it?"
"I could I guess but give me some time," Tenshi said as she led Naruto over to the living room area which was next to the dining room. Sigh "Here I go," Tenshi said as she walked over to the door that led to the dining room. Naruto immediately felt massive amounts of chakra focusing on the door coming from Tenshi. This continued on until Naruto could not feel the chakra and Tenshi was on her knees.
Pant Pant "Alright kid go up to this door and think about a room that you would like," Naruto complied and thought about a regular room which was pretty normal. As soon as he did so he felt some of his chakra go into the door and soon stop. "Good night kid," Tenshi said as she walked away.
"Huh how do I get to my room?" Naruto began to ask but stopped when the door creaked open. Inside was not the dining room but the room he had pictured. "Wow I wonder if I could learn how do that?" Naruto asked no one in particular as he put away his weapons and clothes before falling asleep in bed.
