Next day in front of Training ground 44…

Anko looked at Naruto and said "I took the liberty of getting several taijutsu scrolls; they have a range from countering to blunt force trauma. I want you to spend the next thirty minutes and find a taijutsu style you would like to learn."

Naruto nodded and sat on the ground; after about 20 minutes Naruto managed to find 3 styles he wants to learn.

Naruto stood up and said "I've found what I want to learn Anko-sensei."

Anko looked at the scrolls and said "Okay whisker-kun, which one do you want to learn?"

Naruto smiled and said "I want to combine Wushu and Muay Thai with the principles of Jeet Kun Do; so I can create my own style."

Anko smirked and said "Making your own style will be hard; you'll have to learn all three to a high level before you can combine them."

Naruto gained a stubborn look and said "I'll train all day, every day if I have to."

Anko smiled and said "That's what I like to hear whisker-kun; now your training schedule will be conditioning and taijutsu from 8am through 12pm. We'll then break for lunch, then take missions 1pm through 4pm; once those are done we'll work with you on chakra control and ninjutsu until 7pm. We'll get dinner then be done for the day."

Naruto smiled and said "Let's get to it Anko-sensei."

Anko smiled and said "Fist I want you to start with 100 pushups, 100 sit-ups, and then 100 squats."

Naruto dropped to the ground and started his workout. It took him an hour to finish his workout and stand several feet away from Anko.

Anko said "Now for your reflexes and dodging, we are going to play a game I like to call dodge the sharp pointy things."

That was all the warning he got before Anko started throwing kunai, shuriken, and senbon with great accuracy; it was only thanks to Naruto's new danger sense that he managed to survive the 45 minutes of Anko throwing sharp pointy weapons with only minor cuts.

Anko smiled and said "Your danger sense helps you a lot; I'll let you rest for 10 minutes before starting on your taijutsu training."

It's been two week since Naruto has been training with Anko and thanks to her constant reflex and dodge training, his danger sense now worked all the time which caused his already impressive reflexes to skyrocket. Also thanks to his healthy diet and Anko's training he started to gain a little bit of muscle definition. Naruto also found one more ability from his bloodline; during his tree walking chakra training, he slipped off the tree and instinctively extended his hand, which landed his palm against the tree and stopped his fall. After a couple of hours Naruto can now stick to any surface. Unfortunately that meant learning tree walking wouldn't help him because they wouldn't know if he was using chakra or his bloodline.

Anko and Naruto stood in front of Training Ground 44…

Anko said "Okay whisker-kun, your next exercise will be one in survival. I want you to spend seven days in the Forest of Death."

Naruto looked confused and said "Why Anko-sensei?"

Anko smirked and said "There will be missions where you'll have to survive in the wild for a week or more. So I want to prepare you for that as well this will help with your awareness of your surroundings. Since I know you read the survival books I got you a couple of years ago I know you'll be fine."

Naruto nodded and then leaped over the fence and entered the Forest of Death.

Anko looked slightly concerned and said "Good luck whisker-kun."

Inside Training Ground 44….

It's been 1 hour since Naruto entered the forest and started to carefully search for a suitable shelter, when a loud growl, caused him to pause in his search, and his danger sense allowed him to duck and roll out of the way of his attacker. When he stood up and looked at his attacker, he saw a large white tiger; Naruto activated his cestus spikes and got ready to fight. Naruto didn't have to wait long, before the tiger lunged forward; Naruto used his reflexes to dodge to the side and then counter with a right hook that stunned the tiger for a moment because of Naruto's strength and leaving several small puncture wounds. Naruto jumped backwards to avoid the tiger retaliatory claw swipe; Naruto dodged several more before he leaped back which caused his back to hit a tree.

The tiger growled and lunged towards Naruto; Naruto used a few backflips to scale the tree and dodged the tiger. The tiger crouched then jumped onto the tree and started to scale the tree quickly. Naruto used his ability to stick to any surface and ran up to a large branch; he ran towards the end of the branch to jump to the next tree, but the tiger jumped off the side of the tree and broke through the branch; that caused Naruto to stumble and start to plummet towards the ground; Naruto extended his hand out to try and grab onto something, but a white substance extended out of his wrist and latched onto a nearby tree branch; thanks to his reflexes Naruto managed to grasp the end of the substance as it disconnected from his wrist. Naruto looked at the substance for a moment before looking down to see the tiger crouched under him and getting ready to pounce; Thinking quickly Naruto climbed the sturdy substance until he reached the tree branch, where he looked at the substance more closely and where it connected to the tree branch.

Naruto turned his head to the side and said "It looks like a spider's web; you gave me spider powers."

A deep voice said "That is correct; I've lived a long time. I modeled your bloodline after observing a spider. While in the forest I recommend you get comfortable with using your webs in a fight and movement."

Naruto turned his head left and right and said "Where the hell are you?"

Kyubi sighed and said "When I gave you the bloodline I opened a mental link that would allow us to talk. Also to answer me all you have to do is think what you want to say; we don't need the villagers thinking you're crazy."

Naruto nodded and said "So why did you give me the powers of a spider; aren't they easy to kill?"

Kyubi said "You have the proportional strength of a spider. I took what makes the spider a deadly creature and ramped up their abilities to be proportional to a human. Now use your new abilities to find you a decent place to rest for the time being."

Naruto looked at the tree across from him, pointed his wrist towards the branch and used a mental command and fired a web line; once the web connected with the branch he mentally stopped the production of the web and grasped the now cut end. He steadied his breathing and fell off the branch, which caused him to swing through the air; as he was ¾ threw his swing, he shot another web line at another tree branch and continued his swing. After several minutes he managed to get the hang of using his webs to move quickly through the forest. After another 2 hours of web swinging he found a large dug out hovel halfway up a large tree. Using his survival knowledge he figures that the hovel hasn't been used in a long time.

It's been three days since Naruto entered the forest; in that time he's managed to learn to use his spider sense while he web swung, so he could avoid any obstacles. It's thanks to his spider sense that he was able to release his web line to dodge a large black object. Naruto landed on a tree to see a large hairy brown spider, staring at him with its eight eyes.

Naruto said "Nice spider, I'm not food."

The spiders head turned slightly sideways before jumping towards Naruto; thanks to the spider being higher than him Naruto was able to leap forward and pass under the spider; as Naruto passed under the spider he fired a web line and swung away from the large spider only to run into another large brown spider. Naruto used another web line to avoid the spiders lung; he continued for a few moments before he was forced to abandon his course because of several other spiders coming at him. Naruto dropped to the ground and when he stood up he cursed because he landed in the middle of a very large spider nest. Naruto surveyed the spiders as they descended from above and out of the ground to surround him.

Naruto drew two kunai and said "Bring it on!"

A large brown spider charged forward as did Naruto; as Naruto reached the spider he slid under it and used his kunai to cut off a few legs. Naruto quickly rolled out of the way of a large black widow and threw both kunai at it; unfortunately the black widow managed to scurry out of the way. Naruto activated his spiked cestus and used a chakra powered back hand to bat away a spider the size of a large dog. Naruto fired a web line from each of his wrists and connected them to a large rock; Naruto tugged the rock and used it as a makeshift flail to knock away some of the spiders. Naruto tugged the rock towards him and flipped over it and released his web lines which caused it to slam into a spider that was coming from behind him. Naruto landed and got ready for another wave, but got a confused look on his face when the spiders started to move away from him. He didn't have to wait long however, because a black widow spider the size of a two story house walked out from a large hovel and stopped several feet from Naruto.

Naruto looked at the spider and said "Let's get to it then."

The spider spoke in a raspy female voice and said "No need to be on guard young one."

Naruto looked stunned and said "You can talk?"

The spider said "Yes I can young one, my name is Arachne and you are in my domain."

Naruto bowed and said "Sorry for entering without permission, but this is my first time in the forest and I didn't know spiders of these size existed."

Arachne said "That's because this forest is a product of your Shodai Hokage's strong life force when he made the very forest your village inhabits. For the heart of this forest was where the Senju started the forest; now tell me what a young one like you doing in this forest?"

Naruto sighed and said "My sensei sent me in here for a week long survival exercise; I briefly fought a large tiger a few days ago. I never expected to find such large creatures in this forest and I'm sorry I invaded your home, but a couple of your spiders attacked me."

Arachne nodded and said "You display similar powers to us spiders, why is that?"

Naruto nodded and said "I awakened a kekki genkai not to long ago that gave me the proportional powers of a spider. I'm faster, stronger, more durable, and more flexible, cling to surfaces, spin webs out of my wrists, and a danger sense that alerts me to an attack."

Arachne chuckled lightly and said "I wish to test your metal against one of my strongest hatchling; if you win I'll let you leave, but if you lose I'll devour you. Now come forth Argos."

The ground rumbled for a few moments before the ground exploded outwards and a large black and red spider that was half the size of Arachne appeared.

Argos in a deep voice said "What is it you request mother?"

Arachne said "I want you to fight the shinobi here; he has abilities like ours and I want to know how he fairs against a true warrior."

Argos looked at Naruto for a few moments before charging towards Naruto; as Argos reached Naruto he started to swing his clawed from legs trying to bisect Naruto. Thanks to Naruto's danger sense and reflexes he is managing to stay just ahead of the swipes. Naruto in a bit of inspiration fired two balls of web fluid at the swinging legs, which caused then to cover Argos's claws. Naruto then charged towards Argos, while forming the spikes on his cestus. As Naruto reached Argos, he leapt into the air to avoid Argos's leg swipe, fired a web line that connected to Argos's body and then used it to pull him at great speed towards Argos. As Naruto reached Argos he slammed his fist into his head and sent him into the ground; Naruto leaped away as Argos surged upwards and charged towards Naruto. Naruto charged Argos and just before they reached each other Naruto slid under Argo and attached a couple of web lines to his legs; as Naruto passed under Argos, he quickly used chakra enhanced strength to pull on the lines causing Argos to fall forward and flip around. Not wasting any time Naruto used chakra to increase his speed and fired several web lines that connected to Argo's other legs; Naruto then ran in a circle around Argos and bound his legs before using a few more web lines to strap him down.

Arachne walked forward and said "That was a very good showing young one; as per the rules you are allowed to leave alive, but before you go I have a proposition for you."

4 days later outside Training Ground 44…

Anko is currently standing outside and getting ready to go in and find Naruto. Just before she got ready to enter the forest, Naruto flew over the fence, did a flipped himself over in mid-air and landed on the ground on all fours like a spider.

Naruto stood up and said "Hey Anko-sensei!"

Anko smiled and said "Did you have fun whisker-kun?"

Naruto nodded and said "Yup, I also learned I could shot web line out of my wrists and use them to bind someone, grab something out of reach, and even use them to web sling to get around forested areas or towns faster."

Anko smiled and said "Well in celebration in surviving the forest; I'm taking you to get lunch and give you the rest of the day off, before we continue your training tomorrow."

After another month of training and d-rank missions, Anko deemed him ready to take on a c-rank mission.

Naruto and Anko stood in front of the third Hokage for a mission.

Anko said "I request a bandit elimination c-rank mission."

The Hokage said "Are you sure he's ready for it?"

Anko nodded and said "I told him that there will be times when he has to kill his enemies and that it's best to get the first out of the way so he doesn't freeze up on a higher ranked mission."

Before the Hokage could get the mission, Team 8 walked in.

Kurenai said "Pardon the interruption Hokage-sama, but when you're done with Anko and her student, I would like to request a c-rank mission."

The Hokage smiled and said "You're just in time Team 8, I was about to send Team Anko on a c-rank bandit elimination and it would be a good idea for your team to get their first true taste of the life of a shinobi."

Kurenai thought for a few moments and said "If Anko ins okay with it then Team 8 will accept the mission."

Anko smiled and said "Of course she can bring her gaki's along; the more the merrier."

The Hokage said "There have been several bandit attacks on a village a few days from here and the mayor of the town has requested our aid. Your mission is to meet the mayor and then eliminate the bandits."

Anko accepted the scroll said "It'll be done Hokage-sama."
