Ok a few things to state. Naruto is two years older than the rookie 9 since Neji will take his spot. Graduation age is 16 and when cannon starts Naruto, Tenten and Lee will be 18.
This pairing is Naruto x Tenten! Nothing else! If you don't like that then go away
Also there are a bunch of time skips in this chapter as I wanted to summarize everything that happened before cannon before I actually start cannon.
A ghostly man wandered through the large forests of the Land of Fire. The man felt something calling to his being and so he had come to this forest. When he reached a clearing he saw a battle between the Kyuubi and from what he could gather, the Forth Hokage. What really caught his attention is the small stand with a baby on top with candles around him. The man sighed, a newborn not even a day old is being forced to become a host.
When the Forth Hokage summoned the Shinigami, it looked at him and the man Pointed from himself and then to the baby. The Death God nodded slightly and sealed the Kyuubi and the lingering spirit of the man into the baby.
While he was being sealed he thought, "this child is the one. He will surpass me and every ninja in history. I will make a legendary ninja out of this child."
Four years later
A young red hair, blue eyed Naruto lay almost motionless in the dark of the night in the forest. You might ask why he would be ALMOST motionless; this is because even moving his muscles hurt. The villagers decided that tonight they would hunt him down, beat him senseless, and they make loads of deep cuts on his body before literally rubbing salt in the wounds making them scars that will be with him for the rest of his existence. They had also hit with Katon Jutsu that caused him to also have 3rd degree burns on his body as well.
When Naruto succumbed to Unconsciousness he found himself before two pathways. One lead to a large rocky area. The other however lead into a sewer and had a malicious aura that made Naruto not want to find out what is down there yet.
Naruto walked into the rocky area and saw a man sitting cross legged while meditating. The man is covered from head to toe in bandages with only his eyes and nose being visible he has a black headband around his covered forehead. He has a pair of black pants on that reach to a little past his knees and no shoes.
The man opened his eyes and stood up and stated, "So, you have finally come."
Naruto looked a little confused but nodded nonetheless, "It appears so, but where exactly is here? And who are you?" he asked
The man stared for a moment before answering, "In reverse order, I am Muu, I was once the Second Tsuchikage. We are inside of your mind. I don't expect you to understand all of this but from what I have seen of your life so far, you are smart… very much so. I am here to shape you into a legendary ninja. An hour outside is five days in here. This is very fortunate for me as it will allow me to teach you more and as such you will learn more and develop into the Shinobi you are destined to be."
Naruto thought for a moment, he didn't understand some of it but understood most of it. He looked at Muu and simply stated "When do we begin?"
Muu smirked under his bandages, "Right Now"
A week later (840 days in mindscape)
Naruto stirred awake and looked around to find himself in a Hospital room with the Hokage sitting beside him doing paperwork.
"Jiji?" Naruto asked.
The old man's head snapped towards him with a smile. "Ah Naruto-kun, you are awake… you have been in a coma for a week. How do you feel? My trusted doctors tried to heal the scars but they had no luck."
Naruto sighed, "I figured that would happened as soon as they rubbed Salt on the cuts. I'm NOT going to display them though. I'll… I'll just cover my entire body in bandages to hide them."
Hiruzen looked down sadly, 'Naruto-kun, I hope you can forgive these idiotic villagers' he thought.
"Jiji, did you know that the Second Tsuchikage, Muu, is sealed inside of me?" Naruto asked.
Hiruzen adopted a shocked expression on his face, "No I didn't… what is he doing inside of you?"
"He said that he is to shape me into the legendary ninja I am destined to be. He wanted me to ask you if he can take over my training and if I can just join the Academy for the last year."
Hiruzen was shocked and stated without hesitation, "Sure, how could I not when this benefits both the village and somebody close to my old heart. BUT you must at least associate with the kids from the class you will be attending over the course if your time out of the Academy."
Naruto nodded and lay back down and let sleep take him again as he is still recovering.
Eleven Years Later (301,125 days in mindscape at 16 hours a day OR EXACTLY 825 years in his mindscape)
In the past eleven years Naruto has grown to be a nice five feet Ten Inches Tall with room to grow. He stood up from his meditation. His is dressed almost exactly like Muu, the man who, while not his birth father, is considered as such. He taught Naruto so much.
A proper education, life skills, tactics, and knowledge of everything he knows about the world.
When they moved onto training Muu first had Naruto test for his elements which are Earth, Wind and Fire, though his Earth Chakra is the strongest Muu has ever witnessed. As such with training Naruto is able to use Dust Release Techniques fast paced without hand signs and in rapid succession without tiring.
After a little while Naruto tried focusing on his massively strong Earth Nature and created what he calls the Quark Release. This release, when used at half of it's full power can destroy an entire Country in seconds.
After that they Worked on his extremely high earth release that made any Earth Jutsu become made of crystal unless combined with other elemental releases.
Sensory techniques and the Invisibility technique that Muu uses were taught next. Naruto got so good at the invisibility technique that even Muu, the most talented sensor couldn't detect him.
They then moved onto Fuinjutsu since Naruto can't be a true Uzumaki without being a master of the art.
They worked Kenjutsu and Taijutsu. While throughout the training Naruto had Physical Conditioning he worked on Taijutsu last.
The very last thing that they did was work together to destroy the soul of the Kyuubi and thus giving Naruto full access to it's chakra without any penalties. (Naruto has ALL of Kurama's chakra NOT half)
When Naruto came back from his reminiscing as he arrived at the class room he was told to go to.
He walked in and looked around and noted the STILL the only people of any real note are his two friends Rock Lee and Tenten. (Neji takes Naruto's place on team 7 and Naruto takes Neji's place on Team Gai)
Naruto walked up the stairs and sat next to Tenten with Lee on his other side and got ready for a boring year before graduation.
Naruto sent a dazzling smile at Tenten and said "You ready?"
She nodded with a small blush, "Yes I am."
One year later (16 years old)
Naruto, Tenten and Lee walked into the classroom ready for Team Placement. The three sat down in the seats they claimed a while back and waited for the teacher for about a half hour which was filled with conversation.
As soon as their teacher walked in all talking stopped as he then went into a speech.
The teacher brought out a list, "Alright the teams are team 1 which consists of… team 9 which consists of Tenten, Rock Lee, Naruto Uzumaki, and your Sensei is Might Gai. Wait here for your Sensei's to pick you up and I hope you all become great Ninja and I am proud to have taught you all through your Academy years."
Two years later (18 years old and a few months after start of cannon)
Team Gai stood in front of the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi with him taking a long drag of his pipe and said, "I have called you here to send you as backup for Team Seven. There set of to Wave Country with the bridge builder Tazuna. They apparently ran into the Demon Brothers and have now requested backup. Well more specifically I want you to tell Kakashi that his team is not ready for a mission of this caliber and that your team will take over the mission and that they are to return to the village. If the team refuses remind them that if they refuse it is an act of insubordination and an act of treason if they try to continue the mission."
All four members of Team Gai nodded with Gai turning to his students "Gather your things for about a month long mission. Meet at the gates in five hours… Naruto, Tenten."
"Yes Sensei?" the two asked.
"No sex during the mission… you may express those type of flames of youth after the mission." Gai stated.
Tenten pouted, "Fine…" she turned to her boyfriend and whispered seductively "We have five hours to kill, make me feel good." And shunshined away to their apartment to wait for him.
Naruto turned to his Sensei, "You gave us five hours to make up for the fact that we can't go at it while on this mission didn't you?"
"I will neither confirm nor deny that information…" Gai stated and blurred away while Naruto disappeared in a swirl of dust.
Five hours later
"Alright, let's move out!" Gai told his team!
Alright how did you like this chapter. It's a different idea I know. There aren't many story's that are recently updated for Naruto/Tenten and not many Naruto with Dust Release Fanfics.
