Naruto followed Danzo down the stairs torches lit up the sides of the staircase. They went down what seemed like forever till naruto broke the silence "where are we going?"

"We are going to my headquarters there we will begin your training tomorrow after we get you settled in." said Danzo not even looking back at naruto.

"How long will I be staying here."

"For one month till the final exams or until I you are done with this stage of training."

"What will I be training in down here" asked naruto

"The ninja arts."

"Wha." Naruto started until he was interrupted by Danzo.

"The first thing you must learn is patience and forethought. Asking many questions will get you answers but it will not get you knowledge" he said philosophically " you must learn to wait for a better understanding"

Danzo looked back at naruto and saw that the boy was hanging off every word. 'This is better than I thought his records say he was an idiot'

"O.K. Danzo-sensei I'll try to" he said looking thought full. They continued down the staircase till they found two anbu. But these anbu were different than the ones in the village. These anbu had blank masks and you could only tell the difference between the boy and girls other than that they all looked the same.

Danzo gave a quick nod to the male anbu and then looked at the female anbu. "This is Naruto he will be training here with me for the month. Please take him to a room and explain the training program he will be undertaking and get a list of his skills you are dismissed." the female anbu gave a nod of understanding before walking up to naruto.

"Please follow me Naruto" she said in a kind voice you would not expect from an anbu. Naruto Followed her down the hall. On the way to his room he found that this is an underground training facility that was once used by the village anbu but after the attack on kyuubi it was abandoned.

Naruto was a little skeptical about since he had learned that the kyuubi had attacked us not that someone had attacked the kyuubi, but he restrained from asking the girl when he remembered it was one of the things sandaime had told him. 'If it was a lie it should be in the folder if not he would ask Danzo-sensei' he though. So he decided to take Danzo's words to heart and waited.

When the made it to the room she stood in front of the door and unlocked it. And stepped inside. She walked to the middle of the room and turned around to address him. "You will be sleeping in here naruto." she said in same nice voice that she used before. " now you will be training with Danzo-sama. He is a very hard trainer and doesn't like wasting time. So to waste as little time as posable I will like a description of all your skills." she then took out an scroll from her pouch and some ink and a pen. "please put everything you know in here and hand it to me."

Naruto started writing about everything he knew and found out that he barely knew anything. His taijustu was a mismatch combination of many styles that he thought looked cool so he put parts of various taijustu. His only real battle worthy ninjustu was Kage bunshin. And even then, if what Ebisu said was right than he still didn't have the chakra control to use it right. He had no genjustu and know other skills to speak off.

In the end his list was pathetically short and was riddled with holes so big he was surprised he survived against Kiba. He rolled up the scroll and handed it back to the anbu and asked "is there anything else" he asked getting a little anxious to read the folder.

She looked at him and said. "Yes, tomorrow you will wake up at 6 A.M and eat breakfast in the dinning someone will take you to Danzo-sama training room you will have training clothes delivered in the morning there is a alarm clock in the corner it will serve you well to set it good night naruto."

The anbu left the room after that. Upon closing the door naruto was able to fully see the room for what it was bare. There wasn't very much in the room other than a bed with a alarm clock sitting their. There were no windows unsurprising since it is underground. There was a desk that he had used to write the report on his skills. There was also a door that lead to a bath room. He just took of his jacket and laid on the bed for a moment.

'I want to, but what will I find out.' thought naruto as he looked at the folder that contained all the lies the sandaime had told him. He eventually decided to open up and read.

Eventually he finds that he had lived nothing but a lie.(1)


'beep beep beep'

The next morning he was awoken by the noise of the alarm clock he he'd set up in the morning. The poor thing got a hit that sent it across the room. He got out of bed and then went to the restroom that was conveniently attached to the room. After his shower he saw some clothes that were left for him to wear. They were plain navy blue pants and a shirt. With wrappings to tie down the ends of the pants. They were basic training clothes.

After he made it out of the room he realized the fatal flaw of everything he had learn last night was. He didn't know where the dining hall was. So he decided to find the nearest someone. He left the room and rounded the corner when he hit this monster of a man that was coming around the corner.

Naruto hit the ground hard. And looked up at the man and said. "hey, you better watch where you are going!"

The man looked with amusement in his eyes. "well I guess I should, huh. But I don't normally look down so it going to be a challenge"

"Hey whats that mean am I not short.." thats when naruto got a good look at this man he wore the same training suit as him but had these two hammers n his sides they looked as big as his head. He had a full beard and a scar over left eye.

Oh and he looked like he was seven feat tall and made of stone.

Taking naruto's silence as a sign to talk he started again. "Well, you must be naruto right"

"Uh-huh" naruto said with a nod.

"Well come with me you have just enough time to eat breakfast. No point to keep danzo-sama waiting." he said and started to walk away.

Naruto started to follow "hey why don't you wear a mask like the rest of the anbu."

"because I am root commander" he said glancing back at naruto. "and why would you ask that and not an important question. Like my name or something"

"your an anbu right so you don't have a name, there not aloud to unless it is necessary. Right" said naruto

"Well I guess your right" said the man.

"well, I do have one more." said naruto "do you know what I will be training in."

"yeah I do" after that there was a awkward silence share between the two.

"well, what is it"

"Danzo-Sama said to leave it as a surprise." the man said with a smirk.


'Damn' was the one thought of naruto for the past three hours.

After breakfast Naruto and the big man, who he later found out usually went under the name Major on missions, went to Danzo's training ground. There is where the real fun began. Danzo had said that the first thing he needed to know is where he actually was in skill. So he had to fight Major with nothing but taijustu. While Danzo left to tend to some things.

"Come on Naruto I know you have more skill than that let it show" Said Major as he knocked back Naruto again.

Naruto slid across the ground and tried to get up but fell to one knee. He looked up at Major. While naruto looked like he lost a fight with a bat. Major looked like he was came back from light jogging complete with a satisfied smirk on his face.

"Damn, damn, damn!" Was Naruto's battle cry as he charged once again at Major. This time with a flying kick to his head. Which was blocked by Major, who took naruto's foot and flipped him over. Naruto twisted himself in the air and tried to send a wild punch to Major chest. Major was surprise at how naruto did so well at mimicking the Inuzuka style. Major caught the punch and flung naruto down. In a feat of acrobatic skill naruto landed on his feat and tried to land a series of strikes that reassembled the Hyuga but instead of going for chakra palms he went for the crippling fists that was normally used with the super strength of the Akimichi.

Deciding that it had went on long enough Major took one of his hammers and slammed it into Naruto's side. Naruto flew trough the room and slammed hard on the ground it and coughed up some blood. Naruto was sure he had cracked a few ribs.

Danzo choose that moment to make himself known. "Naruto I think that is enough for now. Come over here we need to speak."

"What is it Danzo-sensei?"

"Have you had a chance to read that folder." he asked

"Yea, last night." Naruto said "It pissed me off."

"Yes, some of the things in there are not for the best, and I can see how they could 'piss' you of." said Danzo looking thoughtful. "But how do you think about Konoha now, Naruto"

"Should I change it? I mean I could, should walk away now but I can't." said naruto for the first time in his life reflecting on everything in his life. "Person I think I could trust turns out to be the person that has been against me, using me from the second I was born. I learn that my own father abandon me and killed my mother just to get the power of the demon without sealing it within himself. The villagers dislike me the godfather abandon me and didn't even try to get me to stay when he had me. This place has done so many bad things to innocent people. I have every reason to hate this village but I can "

'This is good progress' thought Danzo "And why is that"

In response to his question Naruto pulls out a folded paper from his pants pocket, and unfolded it. "This is the note that I found in the folder. The note that my mother gave to the third hokage when she came to Konoha. It is says that my clan wanted her to come here. They saw something here and I intend to find, and bring it out to the light I don't care how long it takes, or what it takes that my goal."

"And a admirable goal it is Naruto. I hope for the sake of Konoha that you succeed." said Danzo "Now go get some lunch and report back here." Naruto nodded and left in the direction of the dinning hall.

Danzo turned to the quiet Major. "How much work needs to be done?"

"Not much actually, he is a taijustu type all he really needs is someone to give him pointers." said Major

Danzo was shocked "That's not right the reports I had gotten gave me the impression that he would need a lot of work. Explain?"

"What did the reports you get say"

"That he had no real talent at taijustu, his only ninjustu was Kage Bunshin and his genjustu skills were nonexistent. Then you tell me he needs little work." Said Danzo with a hint of suspicion.

"Thats because he doesn't. He has this ability to take things used on him and turn it against you. He is very resourceful"

"Tell me about the spar."

"well at first he just charged recklessly and tried to 'Whoop my ass' as he put it and sent in a huge amount of shadow clones. After I nocked him around a bit he started to wise'n up and think things through. He through some kunai which turned out to be Kage Bunshin, actually landed a few hits with that one." Major started t chuckle at that one. "He hen started to run out of chakra and started to come at me by himself. First with weapons two kunai in each hand. That forced me to attack him with my hammers. It's when he showed his ambidextrous skill. Spinning the kunai from normal, to revers grip quickly, but alas I beat his ass again.

"But, he didn't stay down."

"Yeah didn't stay down. He got up and came at me with his unusual taijustu. He just came at me like a Inuzuka with the strikes of a Hyuga and Akimichi. Then you stopped us."

"Very good, this won't nearly take as long as first expected." said Danzo

"May I ask what your plans for him are?"

"To be the change this village needs. After the last wars the village got complacent in there standing he is to shake it to the core, shake the chains placed by the third and fourth Hokages and set it back on the track that the second wanted."


The next week was grueling for naruto. After he woke up in the morning he would eat breakfast. Then he would go and spar with Major while Danzo, if he could be there, spoke about different aspects of ninja life. Chakra forms, ninja rank, the five great villages, how to respect your elders, and the such where covered in great detail.

After lunch naruto would be instructed on mastering his chakra nature which was wind. Learning it had been the hard part. The first exercise had been to cut a leaf with just wind power, but it was slow going. After a few days Danzo rationalized that you can't use something you don't know how to used and taught naruto the Wind style technique Vacuum sphere. After using the hand seals to bring out the wind chakra cutting the leaf was surprisingly easy.

Naruto also learned of root and who they had run things in side of Konoha. He learned that Root was like a village in side a village. They had ninja from every major clan and from every major force. He also learned that he was in a big series of tunnels that was under Konoha. It was made to house and provide training grounds for the root ninja even though most pose as ninja for konoha. They even had rooms as big as a boss summon.

The next week they started on the next stepped of wind control, which was cutting a rock with wind chakra. The high light of his week however was when Major gave him a pair of Konoha chakra blades, he also spent the mornings learning how to use them.

When the third week came Danzo decided it was time to give naruto his summon he promised. So he lead naruto to his private scroll room. Inside he showed him seven different scrolls. "Now Naruto these are the summon scrolls I have in my possession at the moment. You may choose one."

Naruto looked at each one "Which one should I choose?"

"well there is the Horse Contract, Bat Contract, Owl Contract, the Tuatara Contract, the…"

"What's a Tuatara"

"It's a ancient clan of lizards that is well respected around the world, but they haven't had a summoner since before the second world war." said Danzo.

"Cool" Said Naruto said before taking the scroll.

"Naruto you should think about this first the summon yo choose could change everything. Don't make a hasty decision."

"Already done old man." Said Naruto. Having already written his name in blood on the scroll.

"Fine lets get started."

They started to to make there way back to the training grounds. "Now there are five signs to the summoning justu. The more chakra you put in the justu the bigger the summon you get. Remember these are clans so to get to use the clan in battle you must first gain the approval of the clan head." Danzo first showed him the hand seals and let him get to it.

Naruto first tries got him nothing but the smallest summons. Under the mantra of 'more chakra, more chakra' he did the justu again getting a giant of a summon. The reptilian creature was about a football long and fifty feet high. It was a deep red color and had a yellow crest on it's chest. The massive lizard had spikes on the top of his head that lea to the end of it's tail which had a ball with four big spikes on the on the four sides."

"Who summoned me" it said in a deep gruff voice.

Naruto instantly remembering all the manners Danzo had taught and trowed them out the window. "I did."

"You did? Wow I thought it would be someone older. Now get off my head so I can get a look at you." said the beast. Naruto jumped down in a hurry to please. "whats your name child."

"Naruto Uzumaki. Whats yours"

"Himuka, young one. Now what do you what out of this one doesn't seek out a summon contract without reason."

"I want to protect my village, I know its not right but I ask you to help." said Naruto.

Himuka laughed a loud laugh "this is great, are last summoner tried to get us to do all types of things and even attacked his own village. This is great. Having someone that just wants to protect. Don't change kid"

"I won't I promise."

"Now I'm old so don't summon me for battle all right,if yo need some one big summon my son it takes a bit less chakra."

"How will I know when I summoned him"

"He got an axe" Himuka said gesturing to his tail.

Naruto spent the next two weeks getting used to fighting with the Tuatara clan learning of different abilities. He also learned another wind justu from Danzo. To enhance his weapons with wind. Before long he he had to head back to the village. The finals had arrived.

AN: Well thats is another one done. Now there are some things I would like to explain first.First I won't tell you what is in the folder exactly, but after this naruto will come to an understanding about his life and a new resolve to be better ninja for the village.With naruto's wind training. The reason I had him learn a justu first is to get him used to using wind chakra. Instead of kakashi's way of telling you once and leaving you to it. i never really liked how you had to do something like that with no idea on what wind chakra feels like so the idea of just giving him a justu and getting him used to wind chakra makes sense to me. And finally description of tuataras and naruto's chakra blades. If you want to know look them up. I got the weapons from the fourth naruto movie. And tuataras are a lizard that lives in new Zealand.
