Naruto the Fox Sanin
Chapter 2:The Special Training begins
As you all know from the last chapter in Naruto:The Fox Sanin, Naruto and his teammates are about to get a surprise training exercise and of course Naruto is always excited when it comes to wanting to be able to get stronger. And now onto the scene of Konoha.
We found our blonde hero enjoying a nice cup of instant ramen for breakfast and a glass of milk which is surprisingly not past its expiration date. Naruto, after finishing his breakfast then walked to training ground 7 in his new clothes Kakashi got him yesterday which comprised of blue long pants that reached just above the ankles, a black t-shirt with the kanji for Fox on the front in orange (He wanted to keep his favourite colour), but covered it with a genjutsu provided by Kyuubi as he knew the villagers wouldn't like anything fox-related to be seen, and to top it off, a black hooded sweater with pockets on the front of the sweater near the stomach area (like the gangster jackets) and the Uzumaki spiral imprinted on the back of it. And of course his trusty weapons was attached to his left pant leg since he's left-handed.
'You know Kyuubi I never thanked Kakashi-sensei for helping me get some new clothes' Naruto mentally said as he started a mental conversation with his furry friend.
Well you should kit I mean he did get rid of that horrific jumpsuit you were always wearing. I mean Kami that colour isn't suited for a ninja.
"Well it just happens to be my favourite colour you know, and by the way I want to take you up on that offer of being your disciple" Naruto said.
Well then I will train like no other sensei has trained you before so be ready to feel like shit after each session, now then, I'm gonna sleep in my den that you made. Kyuubi said with a bored tone.
Naruto laughed inwardly and then set off towards the training grounds.
Training Ground 7
Naruto had just arrived at the bridge at his team's training grounds to see Sasuke sitting on the bridge's handrails with a bored expression on his face while trying to act cool and Sakura was staring at Sasuke with puppy dog eyes.
"Hey Sasuke-teme, Sakura-chan" Naruto called to his teamates. "I see that Kakashi-sensei still isn't here yet"
"Hey dobe, I see you weren't kidding about that change in your attitude and sense of fashion" Sasuke answered to Naruto's call. "Yeah Naruto you look kinda cool and good-looking if I do say so myself" Sakura chimed in.
Naruto chuckled. "Thanks guys, Kakashi-sensei helped me pick them out yesterday and thanks for the compliments, especially yours Sakura. To think you'd actually call me good looking for once." Naruto said.
POOF!!! A poof of smoke then appeared out of nowhere. (no shit eh :P) "Yo" a familiar voice called out to the genin. The smoke cleared to reveal the cyclopian sharingan user Hatake Kakashi.
"YOU'RE LATE!!!!" yelled Sakura. Sakura then looked at Naruto with a confused expression, Naruto always used to join her in complaining about their sensei's tardiness,but now he just stood their and glared at cyclops.
"Yes well I got lost on the road of life." lied the jonin. "LIAR!!!" Sakura chimed in, rather loudly I might add and once again Naruto did not join her in the art of belittling their teacher. "Yeah, yeah now then its time to begin that special training I promised you." Kakashi said ignoring Sakura and going straight to the point. Kakashi saw his students instantly become serious when he mentioned training. He then reached into his weapons pouch and took out 3 pieces of paper.
"Umm sensei what are those pieces of paper for and how will they help our training?" asked Sakura. Naruto and Sasuke were wondering the same thing. Kakashi chuckled at the question.
"Well Sakura these are no ordinary pieces of paper, these are" Kakashi took a dramatic pause... "special chakra papers, you pump a small amount of chakra into the paper and depending on what will to the paper when you pump chakra into it will determine your chakra's elemental nature." Kakashi said. The 3 genin then reached out and took 1 piece of paper each, but before they began Naruto interuppted.
"Kakashi-sensei, how do you know what your chakra nature is?" asked Naruto.
"Oh right I forgot to mention that, thanks naruto." Naruto beamed at being acknowledged. "Right so as you know the five chakra elements are fire, wind, water, earth and lightning." Kakashi said as though it was the most obvious thing in the world (even though it is). The genin nodded.
"So when you focus chakra into the paper the paper will change in different ways depending on your chakra natures, some people even have multiple chakra natures, 3 at the most for normal people, but people usually have 1." Kakashi said. "So if the paper cuts in half your nature is wind, if it burns its fire, if it gets soaked its water, if it crumples up its lightning and if it turns to dust your nature is earth." The genin nodded at the information given to them. "I have only lightning chakra and nothing else because some ninja have been said to gain a second or third chakra nature by the time they are jonin."
"Any more questions?" kakashi asked his 3 students. The genin shook their heads. "Good so get on with it, I want to see what happens" Kakashi whined like a 3 year old. The genin laughed at his antics, except Sasuke who smirked. The genin then began the process of finding their chakra natures going 1 after the other. Sakura went first, she closed her eyes and focused her chakra into the special paper. Then the paper turned to dust in her palm. Kakashi chuckled at the sight, after all Naruto did say Sakura's punches felt he was hit with a boulder.
"Well Sakura looks like you have an earth type chakra nature although I expected you to have a water nature" Kakashi said with a smile. Sakura grinned widly. Now it was Sasuke's turn, he closed his focus as he pumped a small amount of chakra into the paper. The paper then began to crumple up, but then after it crumpled it instantly caught on fire. Sasuke afraid he would get burned dropped the paper in a frantic fashion with a scared expression on his face. Sakura cheered for Sasuke because he had two chakra natures and started to compliment him while Naruto scowled at Sasuke's luck at having 2 chakra natures. Naruto then began laughing at Sasuke as he looked at his to check if he had any burns on his hand.
"Well Sasuke I always knew you would have a fire nature because you're an Uchiha and as you know all Uchiha have it, but the lightning element was very unexpected, even I was surprised."
Sasuke smirked at having 2 chakra natures thinking he is now the strongest of the team and then started to act all cool, but kept his eyes focused on Naruto as he was the only one left. Sakura and Kakashi also stared at Naruto, curious to what his chakra nature is. Naruto looked around to find everyone staring at him, and then realized it was his turn. Naruto then stared at the paper in his hand and then closed his eyes as he began to focus chakra into the paper. Then the most unexpected thing happened. The paper was cut in thirds, then one third was burned, a second third was soaked while the other third was turned to dust. Everyone's eyes widened at was shown before them.
"Well naruto it seems you have 4 chakra natures: fire, earth, water and the rarest element found in people, wind." Kakashi said with a surprised tone, but then smiled later as now he could teach Naruto in order to complete a certain technique (A/N: Can you guess what it is?)
"Yatta, I have more chakra elements than Sasuke-teme." Naruto yelled in a louder than normal voice and began jumping around. Sasuke began scowling and glaring at Naruto. 'How could the dobe have so much chakra natures, I should be the one with all those powers, I'm an Uchiha for god's sake." Sakura then ran up to Naruto and began congratulating him on his achievement.
"Ok guys and girl settle down!"called Kakashi. Said guys and girl immediately silenced themselves and watched Kakashi wanting to know what they will do now.
"Now that you guys know your chakra natures, and well nature for Sakura." Sakura scowled at kakashi's comment, but chose to spare her rant of doom. "I will now teach you jutsus that will match your chakra natures and build your jutsu repertoire, and even though you all have mastered the tree walking exercise, I want you to continue it in order to build up your chakra reserves and control, especially you Naruto because of your "condition" Kakashi said. Naruto nodded knowing he was talking about Kyuubi. "and I'll be teaching you the water walking exercise and do some spars, however we'll do some of that stuff another time."
Kakashi then tossed a few scrolls from his weapons pouch to each of the genin, which they caught. "These scrolls contain jutsu and Sasuke and Sakura one of your scrolls contain a taijutsu style for each of you learn. Sasuke yours is the Golden Dragon's Fist and Sakura yours is the Wrath of the Banshee. Naruto I'm still trying to find a style to suit you ok. This is for each of you to learn on your own time, but for now I want you all to do the tree walking exercise until the end of the training session and if you run out of chakra just take a 10 minute break, that should be enough time for you to recover your chakra to almost full or completely full" Kakashi said. The genin then rested their scrolls by a tree near the trees where they were to do the tree walking. They began to do their training and continued to do so taking their ten minute breaks in between. When the time came to stop they began to get ready to go home covered in dirt and sweat, but not before picking up their special scrolls.
'Don't want to forget those' they all thought and then left for their homes. Naruto on the other hand headed straight for his favourite restaurant Ichiraku Ramen.
"Hey Jiji-ichiraku one extra large chicken ramen please" Naruto called to the ramen chef. "Sure thing Naruto" the chef answered and then began to whip up naruto's order. Naruto then began to talk to Kyuubi about their training while they waited on the order.
'Hey Kyuubi did you hear, I have four chakra elements, earth, water, wind and fire.' Naruto told Kyuubi in a mental shout.
I know, I can hear and see what goes on through your eyes, good job kit, I was surprised myself when you got earth and fire. The fire element is most likely from me since we demon foxes have fire as our most common chakra element, but the wind really surprised because that element is the rarest element to appear in a person's chakra except in Sunagakure.
Naruto smiled a foxy smile from the praise the fox gave him and then began eating or should I say inhaling his ramen when it came.
'So what are we going to be doing 'Kyuubi-sensei' saying the last part with a mocking tone.
Kyuubi ignored the mocking tone and began to tell Naruto what they were going to be doing during their training.
Well kit tonight I'll be teaching you the kitsuneken and your mother's fighting style the Uzuken.
Naruto then left the stand after his 20th bowl and headed home with his new training scrolls in hand.
'Wait a minute, Kyuubi you knew my mother?' Naruto asked the nine-tailed bijuu hoping to gain some information on his family.
Actually Naruto I never knew your mother personally, but I spent enough time in their small village of Whirlpool Country to learn their family fighting style, however I know her name was Uzumaki Kushina, if you want to know more you could ask your hokage.
' Kyuubi-sensei that really means a lot even if it just her name' thanked Naruto.
No problem kit and by the way when did you start to call me Kyuubi-sensei? Kyuubi asked his host.
'I just thought I should call you that since you will be teaching me' Naruto answered.
Then Naruto after arriving at his apartment room, had a shower, dressed himself in his pajamas and then went to rest his tired body. Meanwhile in Naruto's mindscape he was training himself and his kagebunshin with Kyuubi learning katas for both styles since he learned that you can know what a clone knows whenever its dispelled. This training went on for several hours with Naruto feeling like shit at the end.
I told to be prepared for feeling like shit at the end of each session, but noooo you told me that you could handle it, you would feel fine.
'Shut up Kyuubi I'm going to rest my mind now' Naruto told Kyuubi in an annoyed tone and then left his mindscape to go to dreamland.
