Chapter 1 -Training and the Path of the Hunter-
~Out in the middle of Hi no Kuni~
"Damn" Was groaned out as a bandit leaders eyes were suddenly assaulted by the new morning sun the only odd thing about this bandit leader was that he wore a Hitai-Ate recognizing him as a ninja but from the spiral leaf with a slash through it, saw him recognized as a Nukenin from Konoha.
"GET YOUR ASSES OUT OF BED NOW TIME TO PACK UP AND MOVE OUT!" Hitoshi called out to his men 'Why the hell did I ever decide to lead a bunch of useless shit stains like them I'll never know' Thought Hitoshi as he looked at his bunch of rag tag mob and their camp that was had become pure disorder after he woke them up most of them not being morning people.
"Hitoshi is as loud and unpleasant as ever" was just some of what the bandits and mercenary were saying as they were forced from their beds by their oh so ever immaculate leader.
"Ryuu get your ass to the slave pins and get those whores out here and ready to move"
"Hai! Hitoshi-sama" Replied Ryuu another Nukenin only this one happened to be from kumo other than his Hitai-Ate he was rather nondescript amongst the bandits as he just like their leader was wear little more than some rags the only difference between the leader and him were the tattered black cloaks that they wore. On the back of Hitoshi's was the kanji for Leader, and on the back of Ryuu's was the kanji for Second and command.
Amongst the chaos and just general disorder was a figure watching it all from the trees now if anyone took had seen him all they would have actually seen was a person about 5'11'' wearing nothing but black his outfit consisted of steel toed boots, black cargo pants with about 6 pockets on each side all of them easily accessible, he also wore a fish net shirts which was covered by the black trench coat that had a hood the hood was deep enough that it hid his face in complete shadows, the coat had a large red nine tailed fox on the back with the tails wrapping around his arms a waist, above the fox's head there was the kanji for Kitsune Shinigami (Fox god of Death).
Now even if anyone was to see into the hood all they would get in return was the sight of a pitch black fox mask, and a Konoha Hitai-ate covering his eyes. Around his waist you would see twin hook swords "heh for a supposed A-Rank Nukenin this Hitoshi really doesn't seem very strong and his second in command Ryuu seems like he could at least find me but apparently I once again overestimated my preys abilities." these were the thoughts of the so called Kitsune Shinigami.
"Time to get this party started I guess." were the whispered words of the black clad figure before he just vanished in to the shadows as if he were consumed. "Kuroi kiri no jutsu"
Within the camp the bandits started to notice a Grey and black mist moving into the clearing all of the bandits aside from Hitoshi froze at the site of it. All of them thinking the same thoughts which bordered around 'shit I'm so screwed' or 'God dammit I just had to wake up this morning'
"All of you get back to work on packing! RYUU!! Go and see if there's someone causing that fog because something tells me that black fog isn't natural." Ordered the esteemed leader of the highly disorganized and now frightened shit less bandits.
"Hai Hitoshi-sama" and with that Ryuu ran off into the black fog sending out a sonar of chakra to try and detect the source of the mysterious fog but he couldn't find any human in the forest aside from at the camp and just as he was about to turn around when he heard a twig snap so he turned back around only to find.........Nothing "Dammit all to hell there isn't anything out here except for the animals" so once again he turned to leave only to feel a small amount of pain and the coldness of steel as he was beheaded by a certain persons hook sword.
"Ryuu Hazoshi your bounty is now mine, but you did have a very lovely scent of fear when you heard the twig snap" Said the black clad figure as he wiped his blade off on Ryuu's cloak and sealed his head away so he could collect on the Previously living A-Rank Nukenin.
The specter then took off back into the shadows heading toward the bandit camp leaving on the whispered words of let the bloodshed begin.
"Fuck where the hell is Ryuu everyone's finally ready to go but no Ryuu decided to apparently take his time I mean it's been 20 minutes now usually only takes him 5 at the most to search for a Oinin or ANBU" Hitoshi said to him self only to stop and listen as he heard a scream come from the tree line that he could just barely make out but in the end to see nothing out of the not even noticing the corpses that littered the ground but that might have to do with the fact that the fog had gotten increasingly thicker near the ground ironically just enough to conceal any corpse or blood from sight.
Hitoshi started to worry more and more as he kept hearing screams coming from around the tree line but he still couldn't see anything troubling a side from the fact that the fog had yet again gotten thicker leaving him with only enough sight to see the first 3 slave girls that were tied into 2 single file columns going to the tree line. Then he heard the screaming getting closer and closer to him the screams just kept coming from every side of him never stopping but getting progressively closer to him.
Now all he could just barely make out the hand he had held up in front of his face which he was extremely worried because just a few seconds ago the screams had quit just stopped as if nothing at all had happened. Then he felt it the wind being split as a blade passed through it he ducked down seeing a figure dressed in black with his face hidden by a hood swipe another hook sword at him so he rolled out of the way, now Hitoshi definitely knew he was screwed because this man he was positive could fight in the fog, oh and how right he was for the next thing he knew he had a senbon in one of the nerves of his leg stopping it from responding to his commands.
"Crap....What do you want with me if it's money take it, it's all yours, if you after women I'm sure I can find one suitable to your tastes just please spare me...please I beg of you."Hitoshi all though a very arrogant man he made the choice that he liked to live more than be dead and keep his honor so he resorted to begging.
Then the fog just vanished like it was never there it gave Hitoshi a very good view of the once green forest clearing that was just red grass with corpses strewn about it. This made Hitoshi wish he hadn't begged the man to spare him maybe then he could have just died with out seeing all of the bandits just mutilated bodies that seemed to have been butchered by a pair of very sharp sword and some even looked as if they had been clawed to death.
"Now Now. Hitoshi-san begging gets you no where with me just ask some of you men when you meet them in hells eternal flames hell some of you men didn't seem very loyal to you seeing as how they offered to just hand you over to me if I let them live sadly though...I don't see a point in letting filth who pillage, and rape every where they go." Whispered the stranger in Hitoshi's ear scaring him into nearly pissing his pants.
"Just who...Who are you?...."
"Me well I happen to be your own personal Shinigami but you can also call me by the name others have given me which is Kitsune Shinigami and let that be the name you take to hell." Answered the man as he removed his hood with one hand while taking one of his hook swords and beheading Hitoshi right after he had a good look at the kitsune mask with the Konoha Hitai-Ate wrapped around the eyes.
"Yet another person who has a ranking that they most likely earned by luck....wouldn't you say Kira-chan" Kitsune said seemingly talking to him self but then again no one is around to see it so who really cares.
"Well of course my dear Naru-Kun but then again they weren't trained in the shinobi ways by animals who have nothing better to do and they definitely weren't trained by and extremely sexy demoness like you now were they." came the reply all though no one but Kitsune could actually hear it sense Kira just so happened to be the Kyuubi thus meaning that it was all in his head.
"Yes well I'm not sure if most humans could survive that kind of training I had to go through with each of the different species any way along with the brutal training you put me through any NORMAL 5 year old would have died the first day.....Luckily or unluckily in some peoples opinions I'm not what most would call normal." Replied the 15 year old boy now known as Naruto as he started heading back into the forest to return to Konoha and his many and very dangerous little woodland friends that just so happen to live in the very same forest as him.
"Ah yes but then again if it wasn't for my gift you definitely wouldn't be as strong as you are now besides you know you liked the training especially the rewards I would give to you." Kira said ending it in a very seductive tone.
"Dammit Kira-chan I thought we agreed no more of this at least not until I could find away to safely remove you from the seal any way."
"Awwww but Naru-koi I know how much you like it and it's so much fun to tease you." stated Kira in a even more seductive tone as she flashed mental images of herself and the blonde shinobi in extremely compromising positions.
"Kuso Kira knock it off now or no quality time with me in my mind for a month." Replied Naruto while trying to block out Kira's mental images but failing miserably, So he began to think back to the first years of his training.
~furasshubakku~ 10 years ago
Arriving at the clearing where he had slept with the wolves he see's the pack is still there looking right in his direction as if waiting for him. Now being a 5 year old makes him naturally curious about a lot of things so he decided that they wouldn't harm him not after them playing last night anyway and plus they seemed to be waiting for him.
"uhhh hello were all of you waiting for me to return" asked Naruto in a timid voice. The Wolf at the head of the pack stepped forward and nodded its head as if it understood what Naruto had said. "Did you just understand me?"Asked Naruto with a bit more confidence and once again the lead Wolf gives a nod of it's head.
"Yes we were waiting for you pup each one of us as well as the other animals have seen what happened to you last night as well as have we had news of how you were hunted down like a wild animal on other nights" Spoke the wolf in a close to feminine growl or at least as close as a wolf can get now Naruto isn't easy to shock but a talking animal sort of just sent his mind into a overloaded state.
"s....so y..yo..you can t...t...tal..talk" suttured out the blonde trying to get past his shock as soon as possible.
"Actually I didn't expect you to understand me but this makes things easier as well as more interesting....but what the animals of this forest wish to propose the idea of use training you in the shinobi arts." Said the wolf. Naruto seemed to go into a moment of deep thought which for someone who was only 5 was quite a shocker.
"What is it that you all will teach me seeing as how your all animals and i'm a human but if we can figure that out i'm game for it. Dattebayo." said Naruto only to receive a massive headache as well as a few glares from the animals that had started to surround the area. "What did I say something wrong"
".. Again!!!!!"
"NEVER Use Dattebayo Again....It just makes you look dumb." stated both the Kyuubi and the Animals at the same time.
"Now then as for the training well the wolves will trian you for a year on how to hunt by using your senses as well as how to kill."
"The Snakes will teach you speed as well as how to see with out your sight if you need to."
"The Birds will teach you about the wind and air as well as about scouting at night and hunting in the dark."
"We scorpions will teach you about poison and venom along with the snakes."
"Foxes will teach you of stealth and more.....And Young One this is only the beginning of our training."Said the animals each in their own respective order only to finish all together. So for the next 5 years Naruto trained among the animals learning different different ways to track prey as well as gaining the gift from kyuubi the day after he finished with all the species training. The gift some might call a blessing but most people would probably call it a curse, then again Naruto's never been most people.
The gift as he called it just happened to be a increase in his senses to the point were he was easily beyond what a Inuzuka's sense's could ever reach as the kyuubi stated the senses were demonic while the inuzuka's were just the average senses of dogs while he had the senses of a demon, which brings us to the next part of the gift he was turned into a hanyou.
Suffice it to say Naruto nearly had a heart attack when he woke up to having ears a tail and amethyst eyes with the pupil being a fox slit his ears and tail also came with a change in hair color so his hair now became pitch black with crimson streaks going down to the tips ending in a deep blood color at the tip, the length had increased to about down to his shoulders as well as losing it's spikes and becoming far more tamed and straight. The color was the same for his ears and tail black ears with a crimson tip, and black tail with a crimson tip. And this began the 3 years of torture he spent under tutelage of the Kyuubi no Yoko.
~3 years of training from giant fox~
"Now kit I take it you've figured out the gift I promised to give you. But now that it has been awakened it's time I started on the torture I have planned for you see I even made a schedule"
`Schedule`
5am-7am:Warmup
7am-9am:Taijutsu
9am-10am:meditation
10am-12am:Running
12am-12:50:Lunch
12:50-1pm:Break
1pm-3pm:ninjutsu
3pm-5pm:kitsune magic
5pm-9pm:Seals
9pm-5am:sleep
"So there you have your routine from now on kit hope you enjoy it because you will be the strongest no matter what"Said Kyuubi and so that's how Naruto's 3 years went hard work pays off in the end but was it really worth nearly dying on several occasions such as the times he was doing kitsune magic.
"Alright kit this is the first time so I'll explain everything about kitsune magic as well as the history of the kitsune. Now then Kitsune are demon foxes so with you being a kitsune hanyou we're going to start you off with learn the simple ability of Fox fire or better known as kitsune bi
now just think of a flame floating in your hand"With that began the instruction of Fox magic
BOOM!
Well up until the point he blew himself up anyway"What the hell was that kit even new born kits have better control over fire than you."and so it went on like that with Naruto learning to control kitsune magic such as: Kitsune Bi, Shapeshifting. Within his other studies he started to learn elemental manipulation which came as a shock even to Kyuubi that he had a near godlike affinity to wind,with another affinity to the shadow element. So kyuubi asked Naruto to come to it's cage where he would show Naruto how to manipulate the elements to lengths that shinobi could never hope to.
"Alright Fox what did you want to show m....e"Asked Naruto only to give a pause when he saw a very beautiful women standing behind the bars of the cage she had a long flowing black kimono with gold trim that flowed up the arms in a intricate script. The only reason Naruto could tell that she was the Kyuubi was because of the nine crimson fox tails behind her and the crimson fox ears that could be seen coming out of her blood red hair, but Naruto's eyes were almost instantly drawn to her figure which was a nice shapely hour glass figure with the kimono doing little to hide her easily C-cup breasts.
"What Naruto see something that you like."asked the kyuubi with a seductive tone. The sound of her voice shocking Naruto out of his thoughts.
"Wh..What?!"Shouted the blonde hanyou in shock at the near goddess like figure he was seeing in front of him even still knowing that the so called goddess was in fact a demonness.
"Alright fine then gaki I called you here to tell you about your elemental affinities as well as to teach you how to actively control the element to your will...Oh and by the way my names Kira not Kyuubi that's just a stupid ass title that you humans gave me." said Kira in a lecturing tone changing to one of slight contempt towards the end.
"Alright Kira-chan well then lets get started with the lessons" said Naruto with a hint of excitement in his voice not even realizing the suffix he added to Kira's name.
Kira though having the sharp hearing of all Kitsune heard the suffix and had to fight down a blush that started to form 'Now why in the nine levels of hell am I blushing over what a mortal said' "Alright then Naruto we'll begin the training immediately now then the elements that I can sense in you at the moment are wind and shadow now then Wind in free flowing and easy to move yet harder to control due to it's need for freedom so you have to be able to allow your self to move with the same free flowing nature of the air, and wind. Now the Shadow element is different it's nature is more elusive it can be there yet it's not there at the same time due to the fact that shadows are every where yet no one can ever feel them so you can only tell their there by sight."explained Kira still a lecturing tone as she got ready to begin teaching the blonde gaki how to manipulate his elements.
"OK so if I'm right then Wind is controlled by me wanting to become free just like a bird or animal caged up, and to control the Shadows I would have to want to become one with darkness itself to not want to want to be someplace yet not be seen as well." said Naruto with awe at the thought of things he might be able to do with the elements.
"That's surprisingly correct gaki so if you understand it so well let's begin."and begin they did and within the next few months naruto could completely disappear into shadows as well as fly using the wind and air around him. He was also highly proficient with his shapeshifting abilities and he had formed a few familiar bonds with some of the animals namely a wolf, 2 white asp's, and a black fured fox.
---------------------------------------------------furasshubakku kai--------------------------------------------------
"Hello earth to the blonde gaki who's staring aimlessly into space.....We're in coming up on the gates." Shouted Kira trying to snap Naruto out of his thoughts.
"huh oh sorry guess I got a little sidetracked in my thoughts." said Naruto then looking up he could just make out both Izumo and Kotetsu on guard duty.
"Now what did you two do this time to get stuck out on the guard shift for the gates." asked Naruto as he got closer to them, He had no problems with the two Chuunin level shinobi hell he even hung out with them and discussed some of his pranks he was infamous for.
"oh it's you Kitsune-san we thought it might have been someone important but if it's only you.....I guess there's no need for us to bother even talking to you." stated Izumo with a hint of amusement and sarcasm in his voice
"Wow you know that really hurt and I was going to tell you what kind of prank I had planned for Hokage-jiji later...but I guess you wouldn't want to know that now would you." said the former blonde shinobi in a horribly over exaggerated hurt voice.
"Alright thats enough of the jokes we need you to sign in for your return Naruto-kun" said Kotetsu with a sigh at having to be the more mature person with the those two.
"Fine Kotetsu just hand over the pad and i'll be on my way." Naruto said as he took the pad from Kotetsu's hand and began to sign his name for his return with a pen that he swiped from the Hokage about 2 months back.
"Well see you around Kitsune-san" said both Izumo and Kotetsu at the same time with varying degrees of sarcasm the word kitsune.
So with that Naruto took off on the roof tops moving at a faster speed than any one could see due to the fact of him manipulating the wind to move around him creating a sort of wind tunnel effect further boosting his amazing speed as it was. Then he just stopped and aloud the shadows to consume him as he passed through them into the Hokages office completely unnoticed.
"Hey old man I have the head of Hitoshi thing is I still can;t see why he was labeled a A-rank nukenin
he didn't even give me a good fight." stated Naruto in a near emotionless voice as he took the scroll and gave the Hokage his mission report as well as the two heads of Hitoshi and Ryuu.
"Now...Now Naruto-kun I'll have your mission pay in your accounts by tomorrow evening." Said the ever aging Sarutobi Hiruzen aka the Sandaime Hokage.
With that Naruto turned to leave only to be stopped by his commanders voice saying "Oh and Naruto-kun before you leave I have a favor to ask of you."
~AN~
So there you have it Chapter 1 of Seal of Poison we had a flashback to his training now I'm going to post his skill level below this just because I'm not sure if I explained his training well enough for yall to get just how strong Naruto is right now.

single thought.'

he wears that when chakra is channeled into them the tips of the fingers
turn into claws.'
Stealth: Easily S-Rank 'If he doesn't want to be seen he will never be found he can leave with out a
trace and appear even more sudden just seemingly stepping out of a persons
shadow'
Tracking: S-Rank 'Can find anyone or anything any where in the elemental nations'

Side-Notes:Weapons: Twin Hook Swords. Senbon(Has extreme knowledge of the human as well as animal anatomy)
Has some what of a sadistic nature especially when testing out a new poison on missing or enemy ninja. Loyalty lies only with his few precious people as well as the animals in nature.
Was given Name Kitsune Shinigami due to his mask and the fact that he is able to slaughter a entire platoon of A-Rank shinobi by himself. He got the name during a fight that broke out in infiltraing kumo and the Raikage had him hunted down by 10 ANBU squads as well as a platoon of Jounin.
So there's his skills I know he seems to be god like which he is for a normal person but I will make a few enemies of his that can hold their own against him well atleast until he unleashes his full demonic powers...
Alright then give me some reviews on what you thought of this chapter. If you have some advice give it If its just a suggestion then give that to.
