'Mind talk/thoughts'
"Kyuubi,"
"Flash backs,"
"Normal,"
"Techniques,"
"See it wasn't that bad was it now," A voice said in Naruto's head.
"Yeah… but I still think ramen is the best thing in the world," Naruto replied outloud forgetting that Joe was in his head.
"Cheeseburgers are definitely better then ramen," Joe retaliated.
"Ramen is better you idiot," Naruto yelled in the street this time attracting attention.
"Cheeseburger,"
"Ramen,"
"Cheeseburger!"
"Ramen!"
"Cheeseburger!!!!"
"Ramen!!!!" Naruto and Joe shouted at the top of their lungs. Although the people couldn't here Joe they heard Naruto and just sweat dropped at the situation.
"SHUT UP!!!!!" Kyuubi's voice rang throughout Naruto's head effectively shutting both of them up.
"Much better," Kyuubi said in a relaxed tone.
'Ramen,' Naruto thought.
"Cheese…"
"Don't you start again," Kyuubi said in an authoritative tone.
'Fine… so Joe what should I do… I mean I have 1 whole day before this survival test,' Naruto thought.
"Well aside from the gravity weights Kyuubi and I thought of another way to make you stronger. First go to the closest training area you can get to," Joe said to Naruto who compiled.
"…" Naruto replied as he slowly but steadily made way to the closest training area.
'We're here,' Naruto thought as he reached training area # 32.
"Just in time… brace yourself kit," Kyuubi said as once again red chakra covered Naruto. Unlike before Naruto didn't feel the chakra pull him down but surprisingly he couldn't move his arms and legs snapped to his body in a straight position..
"What the hell?!" Naruto shouted as he struggled to lift his arms and legs.
"Heh a new training method that I thought of," Joe started to say. "Since my style of fighting mainly involves Taijutsu and dodging we needed to improve your strength. Since we don't have the proper equipment for reflex training to improve your dodging training we're first gonna start with your strength. What Kyuubi did for you was use her chakra so you feel resistance slowing your punches and kicks. Also you have to put more strength in to move or else you'll end up in a position just like now. As for how much resistance we have you under its around 50 pounds for starters… better get used to it before your test tomorrow,"
"Not fair…" Naruto said as he slowly proceeded across the training area to a training post.
"For now I'll how you do 200 punches and then 200 kicks for right and left," Joe said wit ha smirk that Naruto knew Joe had on his face.
"Unfair," Naruto said as he slowly started to punch the post with his right hand.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXreviewsarehardtogetXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"200… ha… ha… I'm finally done," Naruto said as he fell back on the ground.
"Wow he actually finished it and went faster as he was doing it," Joe said with an amazed tone.
"Maybe my container isn't so useless after all," Kyuubi said a bit proudly.
"So tired," Naruto said as he tried to get back on his feat.
"Yo Naruto you did good. You should go back home and rest up for the exam tomorrow; and besides I need to teach you a bit more of my fighting style," Joe said.
"This time will you show and teach me instead of beating me up?" Naruto asked as he started to slowly make his way back home.
"Sure… while I have my fun," Joe said the last part silently so not to be heard by Naruto.
"I'm starting to think you're more evil then me," Kyuubi said as she sweat dropped as Joe started to laugh louder and hysterically.
'Some thing tells me that I shouldn't go to sleep tonight' Naruto thought as he exited the training area.

"He lasted longer than I thought he would," Joe said in Naruto's mind as Naruto waited for Kakashi.
"That was quite impressive… he even learned how to use your style by watching you beat him up," Kyuubi added.
'Just to tell you guys that doesn't make me feel any better at all,' Naruto thought as he winced at the memory of what happened last night. Joe true to his word had taught Naruto how to use his fighting style, but he was the target of attack and had to keep on dodging until he finally learned how to fight properly.
"Hey at least you learned how to use a part of my fighting style properly," Joe said proudly.
'Grr just you wait Joe,' Naruto thought as he tried to enter his mind. As he was about to concentrate to enter his mind his concentration was broken when Sakura yelled, "YOU'RE LATE,"
'You got lucky Joe,' Naruto said as he opened his eyes to see Kakashi in front of him.
"I got lost on the road of life…" Kakashi began to say.
"LIAR," Sakura said the yell even disturbing Joe and Kyuubi inside Naruto.
"Dude Naruto… you need to tell her to shut up," Joe said as he covered his ears.
"She must be a banshee," Kyuubi said as she came to that conclusion.
'But…' Naruto thought.
"I don't even know what you see in her… she is after all a fangirl of Sasuke so no matter how hard you try you'll never win her," Joe said. "Don't worry though there'll probably be a girl out there that will you'll want to be with forever," Joe said as he remembered his girl friend.
'Maybe you're right… maybe…' Naruto thought as he shifted his attention to Kakashi who was being yelled at by Sakura again.
"Getting straight to the point your mission is to grab one of these bells," Kakashi said as he pointed to his side showing 2 bells. "If you don't grab one then you'll fail and be sent back to the academy," Kakashi said stunning all the genin.
"But there are only 2 bells," Sakura pointed out.
"Test begins now… oh and come with an intent to kill me," Kakashi said as he watched the three genin disappear. "At least they are good at hiding themselves," Kakashi began to say but stopped when he noticed Naruto reappear next to him and deliver a kick towards his head. Kakashi just stood there and caught the kick when it was an inch away from hitting him. "Too obvious," Kakashi said as he held onto Naruto's leg.
"Heh… we'll see about that," Naruto said as jumped up with his free foot and started to twist in the air forcing Kakashi to let go. "Take this," Naruto said as he executed a flying side kick toward Kakashi.
"Not bad," Kakashi said as he ducked under the kick. "But not good enough Naruto," Kakashi said as he raised his fist in an uppercut to knock Naruto back. "I'll see you again Naruto," Kakashi said before he vanished in a puff of smoke.
"Damn it he got away," Naruto said as he got up as if nothing had happened to him.
"You know you should ask for your teammates help," Joe said helpfully.
"Why should I?" Naruto said out loud getting a sweat drop from both Sakura and Sasuke.
"Because even a great hero needs help. I had help from a few people like Silvia," Joe said before his eyes turned into hearts and started to mumble on about his love for Silvia.
"Look Kit what he is trying to say is that everyone needs teamwork. Even the strongest human can be defeated with a well executed plan and teamwork… so if you think about it that is what Kakashi is putting you up against now we'll leave you," Kyuubi said before her voice disappeared.
"Teamwork, huh?" Naruto said under his breath. "I guess I should try it out," Naruto said as he jumped towards the forest to find his teammates.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Sakura-Chan where are you?" Naruto started to yell as he ran through the forest looking fro Sakura.
'Crap it's Naruto if he finds me my chances of working with Sasuke will go down… I should avoid him at all costs,' Sakura thought as she saw Naruto running towards her area.
"Sakura-Chan let's work together with… Sasuke," Naruto said the last part reluctantly but did anyway.
'WHAT?!??! Naruto actually wants to work with Sasuke? IT must be a trick to bring me out,' "That's right," Inner Sakura added.
"Sakura-chan must be somewhere else," Naruto said out loud as he began to run into another part of the field.
"Finally he went away," Sakura said as she came out of her hiding place. "Now time to find Sasuke-Kun," Saukra said as she started to walk around the forest in the opposite direction Naruto went.
"Foolish," Kakashi said to himself silently as he snuck up behind Sakura and casted a simple Genjutsu which Sakura fell to. "I'm beginning to think this team won't get along…" Kakashi said as he jumped away.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Sasuke where are you?" Naruto began to yell as he ran through the forest giving up on finding Sakura.
"Shut it dope I'm working here," Naruto heard Sasuke said from above.
"We should work together so we can get a bell," Naruto suggested but was met with no response. "Why do you have to such a teme Sasuke?" Naruto asked as Sasuke continued what he was doing before.
"Because you two especially Sakura will slow me down Dead Last," Sasuke said as he demeaned Naruto.
"Why you Teme I was just offering to help but now you just reject it… just great," Naruto said as he jumped away hiding in a nearby tree to watch what Sasuke did. (Too lazy to write the whole Sasuke with Kakashi fight thing).
"My turn," Naruto yelled as he jumped out of the tree he was hiding in and did a flying kick towards Kakashi.
"Using the same tactics again Naruto? That won't work," Kakashi said as he dodged out of the way of the kick Naruto had thrown. 'Kyuubi, Joe can I do it now?' Naruto thought as he jumped back a bit to distance himself from Kakashi.
"Fine you can lower gravity to 1.5X and lower your resistance weights to 25 pounds it should be done… now," Kyuubi said as Naruto suddenly felt much lighter and better.
"Kakashi sensei I hope you are ready for this," Naruto said as he dashed forward past Sasuke's head faster then before.
'He wasn't this fast what happened' Kakashi thought as he dodged a punch from Naruto only to take a kick to the chest. 'Damn… this kid is good in taijutsu,' Kakashi thought as he tried to retaliate from the kick Naruto had just done.
"That is good Naruto… looks like I have to get serious also," Kakashi said as he rushed towards Naruto and kicked towards his head. Naruto seeing this coming ducked under and tried to do an upper cut but was stopped by Kakashi's free hand.
"Damn," Naruto said as he tried to free his hand from Kakashi's clutches.
"You still have a lot to learn Naruto," Kakashi said as he threw Naruto back next to Sasuke's head.
"I'll get you," Naruto said as he tried to run forward only to be stopped by a bell.
"Times up kids and looks like nobody got a bell," Kakashi said in front of Sasuke, and Naruto who stopped in a mid charge.
"Does that mean we go back to the academy?" Sakura asked as she came out from behind a nearby tree.
"Yes you do. Before you go though I should say I am most displeased with all three of you," Kakashi said in a harsh tone making all three feel bad.
"First off Sasuke you think everyone is a burden to you and act on your own. Sakura you thought Naruto would distract you from Sasuke so you ignored Naruto to go with Sasuke," Sakura put her head down at this comment.
"Secondly… you Sasuke tried to take on me by yourself just like Naruto had done… only you refused help from your teammates who you thought would bring you down," Kakashi said while finally turning his attention to Naruto.
"I'm kind of proud of what you did… only you didn't keep it up. If you had at least pulled Sasuke out of the ground and asked one more time for his cooperation then you could've possibly attacked me with him… Although I got to hand it to you… you're the only one in my whole failing genin career that has ever gotten to know the point of the test," Kakashi said.
"Teamwork right?" Naruto asked as he groaned slightly from the increase in weights and restrainers. 'Damn you two,' Naruto said in his mind only to meet the laughter of the two entities in his mind.
"That is correct… now normally I wouldn't pass a team but I'll make an exception today just because of Naruto and what he tried to do today," Kakashi said as he started to walk away. "Meet here tomorrow at 7AM for missions," Kakashi said before vanishing in a puff of smoke.
"Finally free," Naruto said as he got up and began to walk away only to be disheartened by the two residents in his head.
"Don't think we're letting you go today," Kyuubi said with an evil smirk.
"I have to say I'm quite disappointed in you… I thought you would've at least landed a hit on Kakashi with all your weights on," Joe said adding his two cents.
'Oh god no what's going to happen to me?' Naruto thought as the two figures in his mind started to let out an evil laugh. 'I'm going to die today,' Naruto thought as his two teammates looked at him with confusion. "I'll see you tomorrow… if I live," Naruto said to his two teammates before he started to run to another part of the field.
"Hmm… dope, and no," Sasuke said as Sakura came up to him.
"…" Sakura was crestfallen at the failed attempt of a date again.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"So what do you want me to do," Naruto asked aloud as he slowed his run down to a walk.
"First we want you to go out of Konoha and try to find a secluded spot like the mountain ranges outside," Kyuubi said.
"Hey how do you know there are mountain ranges outside? I mean I've never been outside of Konoha before?" Naruto asked.
"…Are you stupid or something? I attacked Konoha remember so of course I should know the geography around it…" Kyuubi said with a sigh.
"Cheeseburger," Joe said mindlessly as he sat in a corner.
"…" was the response from both Kyuubi and Naruto.
"Anyway… just go out of Konoha this way… it should be closer to the mountains and nobody will notice you," Kyuubi said as Naruto continued on. (A/N I'm going to make the training grounds outside of the Konoha walls… at least I think they are outside the walls)
"How much farther is it?" Naruto complained as he continued down a dirt road.
"Not much farther actually… although I did here from some ninja's that there are some bandits here so watch yourself,"
"Wow I never knew you card Kyuubi," Naruto said in a surprised tone.
"Oh shut up and keep on going," Kyuubi said while hiding a blush.
"Oh ho…" Joe said as he observed the situation from far away.
"Yo guys I think I hear something," Naruto said as he stopped walking and focused on listening.
"You are right Naruto… seems like someone is getting attacked… or maybe a group," Kyuubi said.
"Naruto it is your duty to save them… after all you do have a hero's soul so go and save them," Joe said finally speaking up.
"Sure thing guys… it'll be faster if I transform here right?" Naruto asked receiving two anime falls from the inhabitants in his mind.
"Just transform already," both Joe and Kyuubi yelled making Naruto flinch.
"Fine… Henshin a Go Go Baby," Naruto said as he was engulfed in power and soon his costume.(can't find a better way to put it). "All right let's go," Naruto said as he dashed off toward the sounds.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Otou-san are you alright?" a girl asks as she sees her father defending them from some bandits.
"I would be better if we weren't surrounded Mai," the man said as he cut the bandit in front of him with his sword.
"Dad let me help you," Mai said as she too tried to engage a bandit in a battle.
"NO you don't know all the stances yet and your mom is badly injured so you need to defend her.
"But… Fine," The girl named Mai said as she hurried back to her mom. The girl in question looked around 12 years old and had blue hair that trailed all the way down to her hips. She was around the same height as Naruto and carried around a sword that was as tall as her.
"Die," the dad said as he slashed another bandit only to stumble and fall down onto his knees.
"Daddy," Mai shouted as she tried to rush off to her dad only to be blocked by the bandits.
"Hehehe this would have gone smoother if you had surrendered in the first place… now we'll just kill you all," one of the bandits said as he raised his sword to strike down.
Just as he was about to deal the finishing blow they heard a voice yell "Mach Speed," with a kid in a red suit running straight at them.
"What?" one of the bandits said as he soon felt a fist connect with his face knocking him out.
"Heh… you won't be able to keep up with me at that speed," Naruto in his transformed state said as he knocked out the bandit over the man.
"Damn brat… Kill him," another bandit said as the other bandits raised their weapons and charged at Naruto.
"Hmm… you make this too easy," Naruto said as he dodged a strike from the bandit close to him before punching him sending him into 2 other bandits.
"Not bad kid… but you'll never get out of here alive," a bandit in the back said as he pulled out two huge swords. "My name is Banku… those who here my name don't live long enough to spread it," Banku said happily as he charged at Naruto making the bandits in his way move out.
"I see then I guess I should fight seriously also," Naruto said as he charged at Banku also. When he was in range Banku swung down with one of his swords which Naruto jumped over.
"Foolish," Banku said as he brought up his other sword to hit the airborn Naruto.
"…Slow," Naruto said as he saw everything move at slow motion. As the sword came into contact with him Naruto grabbed onto the flat end and used it to flip himself over Banku and behind him. "Mach speed," Naruto said as he landed delivering a flurry of punches at Banku.
"Kah… Damn you are good but that's not enough to get me down and out," Banku said as he started panting. "I'll take you out now," Banku said as his swords started to charge with some sort of weird blue energy.
"Bring it on," Naruto said as he back flipped to distance himself from Banku. "I guess I'll have to reveal my latest new move to you… although I was planning on using it on someone else… oh well I guess you'll do," Naruto said as he got into a fighting stance. The claws on his gloves came out and he started to glow red. "Concentrate," Naruto said to himself as he closed his eyes momentarily making the red aura around him go into his hands.
"Let's go," Banku said as he charged at Naruto brining his two swords up ready to deliverer a finishing blow. "Chakra charged strike: Double finisher," Banku said as he brought both his swords down at Naruto.
"Viewtiful Technique: Claw chakra blast," Naruto said as he swiped in front of him with his claws causing the red aura around his hands to shoot forward and meet with Banku's technique.
"Good… but not good enough," Banku yelled as he brought his sword down stronger and began to gain an advantage over Naruto's attack.
"Heh I'm rested and healed so I'll help now," a voice came from behind Naruto. Before Naruto could turn around he heard the voice yell, "Thunder Upper," the voice said as a thunder wave seemed to come from under Banku and hit him in his chest.
"No fair…," Banku said before he fell to the ground defeated.
"Thank you young man, you may have just saved my families life," the man said. Naruto turned around to see the man who was getting beaten up earlier behind him looking better already.
"Your welcome," Naruto said as he stood up. "You should be more careful next time," Naruto said as he looked around for anymore enemies. Naruto seeing one more bandit left turned around just as the bandit threw a kunai. "Too easy," Naruto said while turning around to catch the kunai and throwing it back at the bandit hitting his shirt and pinning him to a tree.
"I think you should heed your own warnings next time young man," the man said. "The names Shouji Kenta… you can just call me Kenta if you want erm…"
"I'm Nar…" Naruto began to say but stopped himself. 'Joe what should I call myself?' Naruto thought mentally.
"Well what about Viewtiful Naruto," Joe said putting up two thumbs.
"Joe you are a baka," Naruto said immediately.
"For once I agree with the other baka," Kyuubi said from her part of the mind. "Well since you do look like a kitsune and you have red on why not call yourself Aka Kitsune?" Kyuubi suggested.
'Not bad I think I'll take it,' Naruto said as he went back to reality ignoring Joe's ranting.
"You know I still think something with Viewtiful would have been better… like Viewtiful Kitsune that works… or maybe Viewtiful kage… Viewtiful Aka?" Joe kept on going on until Kyuubi his Joe on the head.
Back to reality.
"I'm Aka Kitsune," Naruto said with a huge grin.
"Oh ho I see," Kenta said as he got a weird glint in his eye. "Well since you must be familiar with this area can you tell me the direction to Konoha?" Kenta asked.
"Sure just keep on going down this road and you'll reach Konoha in no time," Naruto said as he felt his strength return to him. "Well I'll be going now," Naruto said before he was stopped by the Mai who was watching.
"I want to thank you," Mai said as she came up to Naruto.
"Huh?" Naruto said before he felt something on his cheek. Looking around he saw Mai kissing his cheek which surprised him. "W-W-What are you doing?" Naruto asked in shock.
"I thought I would give a hero a present for saving my life along with my dad," Mai said before she started to blush… "I hope I do meet you again Aka Kitsune… and the names Mai," Mai said before she ran off to her father's side.
"Man things are getting weirder and weirder every day," Naruto said as he continued on his path going to the mountains.
"Way to go Naruto," Joe said in Naruto's mind.
'I guess…' Naruto thought to Joe.
"Now you'll have a fan girl or something like that if your fame spreads," Joe said with a happy girn. "Although Kyuubi here seems to be upset about something," Joe said as Naruto felt Kyuubi sulking in the corner of her cage.
'What's the matter Kyuubi?' Naruto asked only to receive a glare from Kyuubi.
"Training from hell," Kyuubi said simply trying to hider her upset voice.
'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO' Naruto mentally screamed as he continued to the Konoha mountains.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"What do you want me to do?" Naruto asked in a worried voice as he stared at the mountainous area.
"First I'll increase the gravity to 4X and increase the resistance of the weights to 100 pounds," Kyuubi said getting a groan out of Naruto. "Then start punching the mountain wall for 1 hour straight… this will increase your strength, stamina, and possibly harden your skin a bit. After that grab some nearby boulders and try to climb up the mountain only using your hands with the boulders sticking on you with Chakra. That will be all for today," Kyuubi said getting a groan even from Joe.
"Don't you think that is a bit too harsh Kyuubi?" Joe said but shut up when Kyuubi glared at him.
"Now get to it," Kyuubi said sending shivers down Naruto spine.
"Slave Driver," Naruto said before he continued to do the torture that Kyuubi had laid out for him.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
1 month later.
"Ok team we have 1 more D-rank mission before we are done for today," Kakashi said as he read his book.
"Please don't tell me Tora ran away again," Sakura said in a groan which was met with two other groans from Naruto and Sasuke.
"Although I was going to pick out that mission," Kakashi said getting glares from all three members of the team, "But Asuma beat me to it," Kakashi said getting cheers from team 7. "Instead I have a mission where you have to help a family set up their weapons shop… they recently have moved in so they need help," Kakashi added as he turned to the next page. "Well here are the directions… I won't be accompanying you guys since I have to meet with someone Ja ne," Kakashi said before he vanished in a puff of smoke.
"Great… where does the address tell us to go?" Sasuke asked Sakura who had the piece of paper in her hands.
"Obviously the shopping district," Sakura said as she started walking towards Konoha.
"Let's go," Naruto said as he soon followed suite.
"…" Sasuke remained quiet as he followed the two.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"So this is the shop," Sakura said as they arrived at a building that was filled with boxes.
"Oh you're here… although I was expecting you 1 hour earlier," said a voice which was familiar to Naruto. A girl came into view which Naruto recognized immediately. "The name's Mai and this is my families shop… well come on in and help," Mai said as she motioned team 7 to come inside.
Inside the shop it was filled with boxes and weapons, mainly swords. "Wow a lot of swords," Naruto said absent mindedly.
"Of course Naruto-Baka," Sakura said as she punched Naruto's head.
"Itai… Sakura what was that for?" Naruto asked
"For acting idiotic that's what," Sakura said as she raised her other fist.
"Hmph… dope," Sasuke replied simply as he watched the scene in front of him.
"Um… can you guys get working with unpacking all these boxes now?" Mai asked them as they stopped fighting.
"Fine," Sakura said as she moved to the closest box.
"Let's get this finished with," Naruto said as he started lifting the boxes and putting them on the ground.
"…" Sasuke stayed silent as he opened the boxes doing what Sakura was doing.
"Ah Otou-san you're here," Mai said during the middle of work to see a man come in.
'I hope they don't find out who I am,' Naruto thought as he saw Kenta come in,'
"Don't worry they won't find out," Joe said with confidence.
"Bakas," Kyuubi said from her cage before she stopped talking.
"I see that the team we hired is working hard," Kenta said as he stared at the team. "Especially the blond one over there," Kenta said as he looked over at Naruto a glint seeming to go in his eye.
"Haha… work like this is nothing compared to what we do," Naruto said trying to get the pressure off of him.
"I see," Kenta said before he started to walk to the other side of the store.
Naruto let go of a breath he was holding he didn't even know as he saw Kenta turn around, 'I think he is suspicious of me,' Naruto thought to his two tenants.
"Don't worry… just don't do anything that'll give you off," Joe said as Naruto continued working.
'If you say so,' Naruto thought as he continued on working. While working though he felt something come at him and from the corner of his eye saw a kunai come at him. 'Why me?' Naruto thought as he turned around catching the kunai and throwing it back where it came from. Everyone stared at what Naruto had done and Naruto just realized his mistake, 'Shit… I think I've been exposed,' Naruto thought getting a groan from both tenants.
"Hehehe… reflex," Naruto said while rubbing the back of his head, uncomfortable from the stares he was getting.
"Hmm… I think I've seen that somewhere before," Mai said trying to remember where.
"Familiar indeed," Kenta said with a smirk. "Well I think we're done for the day so you guys can go," Kenta said motioning them to go.
"Thank you so much," Naruto said before he ran out of the store.
"What's up with Naruto?" Sakura said but nobody paid any attention to her.
'Where did Naruto learn how to do that… the dead last shouldn't be able to do things like that,' Sasuke thought as he replayed what happened in his mind.
'Now I remember it was that Aka Kitsune guy who used that move… wait can this guy really by Aka Kitsune?' Mai thought as she watched Naruto run farther. "Papa I'm going out for a bit," Mai said rushing out of the store not waiting for a response.
"Well have fun meeting with your hero," Kenta said before he went inside.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I'm such a baka for doing that," Naruto said as he started to punch the mountain wall which had many carters in it.
"Dude… I think you just ruined your cover," Joe said.
"Yah think?!?!?" Naruto replied in a sarcastic voice.
"Both of you are such big baka's Kyuubi said before she retreated inside Naruto's mind.
"Well anyway I think you should train up in your hero form so you will get used to your new level of Mach speed," Joe said.
"Right… well here I go Henshin a Go Go Baby," Naruto yelled transforming into Aka Kitsune. Just as he did though he heard a squeal of excitement behind one of the boulders in the mountain range. "Did I just hear that?" Naruto asked himself as he walked over to the boulder to see something he didn't want to see. Behind the boulder was none other then Mai herself with star's in her eyes as she looked up to Naruto.
"Wow I never thought that I would meet you again this soon… heck I didn't even realize that you were a ninja in the town I'm staying in," Mai said with pure excitement as she tried to latch onto Naruto.
"Whoa hold on there… what are you doing here… and will you keep this a secrete?" Naruto asked.
"Well first I was here since I had a intuition that you were someone I knew and I'm right… secondly I guess I can since I'm your number one fan," Mai said.
"Great… well I got to get back to training so can you not bother me?" Naruto asked getting puppy eyes from Mai.
"You want me to leave? But I just got here and I want to be with you… besides I can help you train," Mai said using the puppy eyes to her advantage.
'Crap I can't hold on much longer,' Naruto thought as he tried to look away from the eyes. "Gah fine… but how'll help me train?" Naruto asked and didn't expect the next thing to happen. Mai brought out a scroll and from it she brought out a huge sword taller then herself.
"I'm a good swordswomen if I do say so myself," Mai said as she lifted the sword onto her shoulder.
"Fine let's spar then," Naruto said as he back flipped ready to spar.
"Lets," Mai said as she got into a fighting stance.
A/N: Well I decided to update this one while I was working on a new project of mine… well hope you like it even thought not a lot of people do… well tomorrow I'll work on my new project and Ninja Tsukai while on Friday I'll work on Mage's lineage. Well hope you like this chapter I'll write as much as I can before the summer Sat boot camp.
