I do not own Naruto or any shows whom I take scenes from for added humor.

What's up? Time for the next chapter. I'm a little surprised that I got a review in less than 24 hours of posting. So thank you Riotstarter1214 for the review and I was planning on putting Anko in the Harem anyway so...HAJIME!

Chapter 2: Training begins and an enemy arises.

Naruto just stared at Kasumi with a raised eyebrow.

"Not to be ungrateful but what do you actually know about being a shinobi." Kasumi merely smirked.

"You have a point so how about I give you this as sign of faith." she said before she jabbed her middle and index fingers into his forehead. Naruto flinched and shut his eyes as immense pain shot through his head and just as it occurred it ended. He gasped at the sudden action before glaring at her who had an innocent look on her face.

"First could you please warn me next time and what did you do?" Kasumi tilted her head and said.

"Your just full of questions aren't you? Well I gave you enhanced senses as well as the knowledge of the Kage Bunshin jutsu implanted into your memory and as for warnings your head is going to hurt like hell in a few seconds." Naruto was about to say something but he had no choice but to grasp his nose and one of his ears as his new senses were getting a major overload. Kasumi sweat dropped as he fell off the couch and hit his head on the table grunting in pain.

"I'll be right back." she said reassuringly as she calmly got up and got a few cotton balls from the bathroom and stuffed one in each ear and nostril. Finally calming down he rose from the floor and sat back at his original position on the couch.

"You know you never told me who you were." Naruto stated feeling his curiosity growing with each passing moment. Kasumi sighed

"It's complicated, I'm the spirit of Konoha itself and I've seen the way those vill-I mean people treat you." she said angrily as those bakas had no right to even be in her home she so selflessly offered to refugees. Things sure have changed since the Shodaime. "And frankly I myself am though with what's been going on so I'm putting my foot down." she then put a finger to her chin. "I guess that's not too complicated." Naruto sweat dropped but got a serious expression.

"Look I'm eternally grateful for your offer but I'm not sure I'm willing to accept it. I hate when people look down on me and see me as beneath them." Kasumi shook her head

"No I'm not doing this out of pity. You've endured so much and yet you still pull through to the end because you don't care what those stranger think. You only fight for you and your friends and do what's right. You've definitely earned my respect." Naruto was stunned. No one ever praised him like that. Not even the old man. He never really though about his lifestyle. He just wanted to survive in this world and doing what he did seemed to come natural to him. He did his best to hide behind his mask of idiocy to fool others but now...maybe he should embrace his true self and show others what he's made of.

"Very well then I'll take up your offer. So what's this about training?" Kasumi grinned devilishly that made him a little uneasy.

One week before the start of the new academy year

In Naruto's opinion these past few months have majorly SUCKED!. The first day alone had him apply nearly 100 hundred pounds of weights to each limb and have him running around the entire village for hours while he couldn't be detected by anyone and if he was than Kasumi would launch an A-ranked Katon jutsu toward him. The fact that he was wearing his jumpsuit and Kasumi splashed on a lot of cheap cologne on him to draw other to his presence wasn't helping. This was to teach him evasion, endurance, and give him a wake up call about his sense of fashion. He also had to tree climb while balancing a kunai on his noes...in mid-air to strengthen his sucky chakra control. Once he completed that he moved to sparring on water with weights applied and Kasumi didn't seem to know the meaning of holding back.

While he was looking forward to all the cool jutsus he was going to learn he was disappointed at the fact the Kasumi only taught him two of the three academy jutsus, a low level Genjutu, a simple style of Tai and Kenjutsu as well as a few Katon and Fuuton jutsus. When questioned she said that this was to teach him to master each and everything she taught. Instead of being decent at a lot of stuff, he could master and effectively utilize everything he knew. She also didn't want him to be too overpowered at such a young age, she didn't want another Itachi on her hands. Even after all that Naruto was determined to become stronger and never complained. Each time he fell he got back up and tried again.

Once the months passed the reward greatly outnumbered the sacrifices. His speed, power, and agility increased greatly. He memorized each justu and generated and controlled enough chakra to either not use hand signs or call out the name in order to catch the opponent off guard. His form for his style Tiger Claw was flawless but he still needed to work on his Kenjutsu. The Kage Bunshin was extremely useful as it would generate an exact clone of himself and anything the clone learned, Naruto learned as the information would be transferred back to him. With Kyuubi's chakra he could generate hundreds of clones at a time and increased his learning rate exponentially.

His physical appearance changed as well. He grew much taller and let his hair grow out like the Yondaimes and most of his baby fat was gone. His new attire consisted of black shirt that showed off his muscles and a jet black trench coat with a red spiral on the front of the shirt and a ferocious orange tiger on the back of the coat. He also wore dark green ANBU style pants and black opened toe ninja sandals. He actually looked more like a 15 of 16 year old than a twelve year old. Kasumi and Kyuubi told him he was going to be a lady killer when the training was over, much to his embarrassment

Naruto learned that the Namikaze symbol was the tiger for being a solitude creature aside from there family which did explain Naruto's natural behavior and the estate location. The right pagoda was meant for training with a large dojo at the bottom while the other two stories held a jutsu library and a storage for weapons which the Uzumaki excelled at but Kasumi said that they were off limits until he moved up in the ranks. This taught him discipline since he would need it with the whole him not being a genin. We now see Kasumi enter the family dojo and walk up to Naruto who is currently sparring with a clone. When she approaches him he drops his stance and dispels the clone.

"You've done a great job Naruto in my training. You've far exceeded my expectations and it's safe to say you are definitely ready for a simple academy exam." Naruto blushed at the praise.

"Thanks nee-chan I'm about done sparring so I'm gonna head into town to get something to eat and see if I can can get ji-ji to enroll me next year." He said as he only went to the village once in the past few months to stock up on supplies and with Kasumi's non stop training...he decided it would be best to make sure his friends were sure he wasn't dead. Kasumi nodded as Naruto vanished in leaf shunshin.

Moments later

Naruto reappeared just outside of Ichirakus, just seeing the shack made his stomach growl. Naruto walked inside and turned to his old stool when he noticed there was picture of him on the stool. It was the first time he ever went to Ichirakus. He was about 5 at the time and he was standing next to a man with silver gravity defying hair and a mask that covered the lower part of his face in an ANBU uniform in front of the shack. Naruto had his mask on and was giving the victory sign with both hands. The man was merely eye-smiling at the display. Naruto gave a frustrated sign.

"Great, they think I'm-" Naruto was interrupted when she saw a woman in an apron and hat walk up to him. She had fair skin with light brown eyes and hair that reached down to her back. She was scribbling something on a notepad and didn't' see Naruto.

"Welcome to Ichiraku how may I help you." she said with a solemn look on her face. It looked like she didn't want to be here. Naruto grinned.

"Why so glum Ayame nee-chan?" Ayame looked up to retort but her eyes widened when she saw him. She dropped the notepad and stuttered out.

"N-n-n-naruto?" Naruto's grin never let up.

"The one and only." He would've said more had he not been glomped in a bear hug that constricted his breathing.

"Naruto I thought you were dead!" she cried with tears in her eyes.

"N-n-nee-chan" he managed to say as he was currently blue. Ayane saw his struggling figure and let go of him. She rubbed that back of her head sheepishly.

"Eh sorry but I really though you were dead, speaking of which." she trailed off as she grabbed a frying pan and smacked him over the head...hard. Naruto clutched the growing bump on his head as she began her rant.

"Well there hell were you? I haven't seen you in months you jackass!" Ayane never cursed or got this angry but with Naruto not showing up and causing her and her dad to go into near depression kind of pissed her off.

"Sorry nee-chan let me explain." he began as he explained about him meeting Kasumi and the non-stop training he had to endure along with his loner life style. He of course didn't tell her about her about his heritage should someone be listening and Kasumi being the spirit of Konoha which caused Ayame to grow suspicious in case she just wasn't trying to kill him.

It did happen before.

"Alright I forgive you but don't scare me like that again or I'll ban you from the shack." Naruto eyes almost bugged out of his head before he got on his knees and grasped her leg with anime style tears.

"NO! NO! I'll be good nee-chan I promise!" Naruto may have been highly disciplined but it was tough breaking his ramen addiction. He would now eat only it three times a week but not having the food of the gods made by the best chefs in the whole world…...ever? Fuck that! Ayane sweat dropped at his pathetic form.

"Even if you threaten to kill him Naruto would NEVER beg for mercy but bringing ramen into the equation is a different story." Ayane thought as she managed to shake him off her leg before grabbing the notepad off the floor and smiled.

"If your though groveling, what would like? On the house." Naruto regained his composure at sat on his old stool.

Later

Patting his now full stomach Naruto decided to take a walk around the village while ignoring the looks of curiosity, surprise and the ever so tiresome, hatred.

"(Sigh) you know kit I understand that you don't wanna leave this village but why don't you just kill one of these bakas to set an example." Kyuubi questioned in his head. If it was him who had to endure all the bullshit he would tear this place a new asshole years ago. Naruto mentally shook his head.

"Look Kyuubi, as enticing as that sounds I need to play it cool for the next few years until I become strong enough. Besides I don't want the younger generation to have an actual reason to hate me." Naruto thought actual in a somewhat sarcastic manner as their parents have all ready planted the seed of hate and told their kids to stay a way from him. No one really did follow the Sandaime's law. While he was having his internal conversation Naruto accidentally bumped into a certain brooding emo.

"Hey loser watch wear your going!" the emo said has he glared at him but had no choice but to look up. Naruto just walked past him. He really didn't want to deal with him. But as soon as he turned his back on him the kid grabbed his shoulder to face him.

"Aren't you gonna apologize to me?" Naruto shrugged his shoulders and walked away.

"Dobe answer me!" he said as he tried to punch Naruto but he merely turned around and swatted it away.

"Piss off duck-ass. I have places to be and I don't wanna deal with your high and mighty attitude." Said duck-ass snarled.

"How dare you talk to me like that! I'm an Uchiha! The elite!" he said as he pulled out a kunai and charged at him. Naruto sighed and dodged the attack and spun around and chopped his neck effectively knocking him out.

"Idiots not even a genin and he's already starting to pick fights." Naruto said to himself as he merely continued his stroll seeing as he was starting to draw a crowd. Unfortunately of fortunately, he was nearing the dango shop and saw a woman that was about to enter catch his eye.

"(Whistle) Helllooo Nurse!" Kyuubi cat-called inside his head. Naruto had no choice but to agree with him. Anko Mitirashi former apprentice of Orchimaru and second in command of the Torture and Interrogation department. She was a relatively tall woman with violet spiky hair tied into a ponytail and light brown pupil-less eyes. She was wearing a tan trench coat that reached her thighs and a fish net shirt that was quite revealing, as well as a dark orange mini-skirt that stopped just at her knees and shin guards. She had fairly impressive bust and a nice set of legs . (A/N that made me feel like such a perv.) She also seemed to notice him as well.

"Damn the Kyuubi kid has become quite the looker." she thought while basically molesting him with her eyes. Deciding not to be rude she walked up to him.

"Hey gaki I'm glad you finally got a sense of fashion. Uh did you do that." she pointed at the currently downed Uchiha as well as multiple glaring at him and the "snake bitch".

"Thanks and yeah the idiot got on my nerves. Do you wanna get something to eat? My treat." Naruto asked. He already ate for free so he should have plenty of money for whatever she ordered right? Right? Anko got a sly smile.

"Are you asking me out on a date." she questioned. Naruto just gave her his own smile and shrugged.

"If you want it to be."

"Alright then but I can already tell ya your going to regret this." she said with a smile that made Naruto unsure if he should be terrified...or aroused.

Later

Anko was having a great day. She managed to crack a tough enemy ninja this morning and now she had all the free dango she could eat thanks to a certain hot blonde. While Naruto...not so much as he was now carrying a very skinny Gamma wallet. Thank Kami for the Namikaze bank accounts. Anko gave a satisfied sigh.

"Ah that was good, I'll see around." she said as she walked away. Naruto just hung his shoulders at the.

"Your welcome." he said to himself. He calmed down and saw that it was getting late and decided to head to Hokage tower for one last stop. Not wanting to deal with the bitch secretary he just shunshined to his destination.

At the Hokages office

Sarutobi was now dealing with his most heated enemy...paperwork. He swore he knew why Minato was so adamant in sacrificing his life for the village. To get away from this accursed monstrosity. He needed a distraction now. As if on cue he saw what looked like a teenage version of his surrogate grandson.

"Yo oji-san." he waved.

"Naruto?" Was all he could say at seeing his much more matured body.

"That's me, and just call it a growth spurt." he said seeing his curious expression towards his appearance. "Anyway I'm here to enlist for my final try at the academy." Sarutobi sighed.

"Very well than but this is your last chance before stuck being a civilian."

"Don't worry I'm confident I'll do better." Sarutobi nodded and pulled out a form and pen.

"Just sign here and you can be on your way." Naruto grabbed the pen and signed before dissapering once again.

And...done! How will the council react to the "unprovoked" attack on the ever so great Uchiha. Tune in...or read next time.

Next time: The academy and a banshee or two.
