Chapter 2: Training and voices.
"Gahhh!" A scream of frustration was heard from training ground 30. It was only 5:00 in the morning. And you could hear someone training? Though it wasn't just one scream. If you listened closely. You could hear more then fifty.
"I'm never gonna finish reading these in time!" A young blonde boy, who was twelve years old shouted. He appeared to be reading a scroll of Taijutsu called "Yokien"
"And what did oji-san say? "Kage bunshins" How're they supposed to help! They've been reading the same thing for as long as me!" He shouted again. Suddenly he just stood up with a shocked face.
"Everyone dispel now. All 100 of you." He ordered as if he knew the answer.
"No problem boss!" They all shouted unanimously. The whole training field was engulfed in white, puffy smoke. As Naruto clutched his head in pain.
'That was one massive headache.' He groaned as he sat down. He suddenly formed another bunshin and took up the yokien stance. His left arm was close to the left side of his chest, while his right was bended towards his chest. His right hand was of that of a palm. While his legs were apart, the right one in front, while the other at the back, both not aligning with his body. His clone quickly did the same stance.
"Let's go!" The clone shouted as he charged at the original. He was quickly in front of the target and used his palmed right hand to hit the target's chest. The original, having seen this, quickly retaliated with his legs. As he jumped over the clone, he used his left hand, which made contact before he landed behind his opponent, to grab the others head. He pulled hard and sure enough. The clone was over his head. He used this moment to use his right palm to strike three times. To the head, the spine, and the right thigh. All of this happened as the clone was being thrown over the original. But Naruto wasn't finished yet. His left arm, which was now free, grabbed the clone by an ankle. And swiftly pulled, resulting in the clone taking a vertical position. Naruto used his right leg to do a high kick to the clone's jaw. The clone clearly had enough and dispelled.
"Yatta! I knew I figured it out!" He shouted as he jumped for joy. He quickly crossed his hands together as 200 Naruto's were now in the field.
"Divide yourselves into to four groups." The original ordered. Sure enough. There were four groups, each made of fifty clones.
"I want group one practicing yokien. Group two practicing tree walking. Group three reading each of your scrolls on the jutsu. And group four sparring with each other. Groups one and four will be close, as if anyone sees a flaw. Point it out and correct it. Got it!" He shouted.
"Yes boss!" They all shouted and went to work on practicing. Naruto, having knew that kage bunshins wouldn't increase his physical fitness. Quickly challenged himself.
'200 push ups, 250 squats, and 300 sit ups' He thought as he went to work.
A few hours later…..
"Haha! I did it! I'm a yokien practitioner and I learned that new jutsu!" Naruto shouted as he stood up. Sweat pouring from his forehead. The sun was already setting
'Better eat now' He thought hungrily. He checked his frog wallet. Christened Gama-chan. And nearly fainted.
"I have no more money!" He yelled at the top of his voice. He heard a rustle of leaves behind him. He turned and saw a brown rabbit.
'What if I hunt and sell the furs? I could also eat the meat.' He thought. But he didn't know a thing about hunting. Much less skinning.
'I'll find a book in the library about hunting and skinning' He thought with a grin. As he left the training field, the sun had already set. He was passing by training field 10 and there he saw Shikamaru, Choji and Ino. Deciding to say hi he went over.
"Hey guys!" He shouted. Getting the attention of the team.
"Hey Naruto, What are you doing here?" Choji responded.
"Nothing. Just wanted to say hi!" He said with a grin.
"Troublesome. Naruto have you been training?" Shikamaru asked as he saw his tattered cloths and smelled his stench.
"Yep. I got a scroll yesterday about a taijutsu. I practiced it today and was able to begin learning it's advanced forms!" He explained.
"Yeah. And I got a 200 foot gorilla in my backyard. You can't expect us to believe you've been training and READING. At the same time mastering a taijutsu within one day." Ino butted in.
"Fine, if you don't believe me don't. But it's still better then sitting around all day and dreaming about Sasuke-teme." Naruto responded. Earning a chuckle from both males.
"He has a point Ino." Shikamaru took Naruto's side.
"He got you Ino." Choji also took Naruto's side. Ino look betrayed.
"Don't- Wha- Never mind. I'm in a bad mood today. So I'll let you off the hook." Ino said. Looking beaten.
"Anyways, Naruto wanna come with us and eat some barbeque?" Choji asked.
"Sure. But, who's paying?" He joked.
In the village…
"Get out!" An older man who looked to be in his 40's shouted as he dragged Naruto out.
"Oi! He's with us!" Shikamaru shouted, mad that he was kicking out a friend.
"I don't care! We don't serve him here! And if you're with him, get out too!" The man shouted with fury.
"What but that's not-" Choji was interrupted by Naruto.
"It's ok guys. Go on, I'll be fine!" Naruto said with a fake smile.
"No, it's not fine! This man doesn't want our friend to eat here. Fine! Then we're not eating here!" Shikamaru declared. Leaving the building along with Ino and Choji
"And never come back again!" The man shouted at Naruto. They began walking away as they searched for another place to eat.
"What was that about Naruto? The man acted as if your evil or something. Sure you pull pranks but wasn't that a little too far?" Choji asked Naruto. Still angry at the man for not letting them eat there. Naruto looked down.
"….I'll be ok guy's just eat there without me." Naruto smiled. He was glad they were there for them. But he didn't want them to suffer because of him.
"Don't be an idiot Naruto. We're friends and what kind of friends would we be if we left you hanging?" Shikamaru stated. Naruto only smiled.
"Sorry guy's, but I have to go." He said as he ran from the group.
"Oi! Naruto!" Choji shouted. But it was too late. Naruto was lost in the crowd.
'Why did that old man hate Naruto? Hm… Troublesome' Shikamaru thought with a sigh.
"Well. That was weird of Naruto. He seemed like he was hiding something." Ino pointed out.
"I'm leaving too. Gotta find out about something, even if it is troublesome." Shikamaru turned to leave.
"Hey! Shikamaru wait for me!" Choji shouted going after Shikamaru. Leaving Ino all alone.
"I guess I could follow Naruto, wonder what's up." She thought with a shrug.
In the streets…..
Naruto was walking down the street. Barely hitting anyone. Not that it was clear no, people were just moving away from him.
'At least I have friends like them.' Naruto thought of team 10.
'Right. And that blonde one look good too.' A voice in his head thought.
'Wha? Who's in here?' Naruto asked his head. Naruto suddenly black out. He felt like he was being sucked into something. He closed his eyes as the feeling of crashing into the ground overtook him. But it never came. Only the feeling of water in his feet. He opened his eyes to see that he was in a sewer.
'What is this place?' He thought. He wandered around. Seeing as their were no door's. He quickly took a left. And he found himself in front of a large gate. Or was it a cage? And in the middle of the cage was a piece of paper with the word "seal" in kanji written in it.
"So. You decide to visit eh kit?" A deep booming voice asked. Gaining an eeepp from Naruto.
"You just gonna stand there kit?" The deep voice asked.
"Who-who are you?" Naruto asked scared.
"Me?" The deep voice laughed. Behind the cage, two giant eyes opened, both looking at Naruto. A snout appeared in front of the eyes. Showing Naruto it had orange fur.
"I'am the Kyuubi no Kitsune." The deep voice stated. Naruto looked inside the cage in shock. But he quickly got over it and took out his hand.
"Nice to meet you! I'm Naruto Uzumaki!" Naruto said. The giant demon only laughed.
"Are you not scared of me Uzumaki? Aren't you going to attack me for causing your life to be the shit hole it is now?" Kyuubi laughed. His deep booming voice was echoing through the sewers.
"Why should I?" Was Naruto's answer. This caused the Kyuubi to stop laughing and stare at the boy.
"I mean it's not your fault. The Kyuubi was sealed in me for the good of the village. So it's not your fault that the villagers despise me. It's their fault for thinking I'm you!" He explained with a Kyuubi only stared at the boy.
"Hold on a second kit. Let me change into something more comfortable for you to talk to." Kyuubi said. His snout and eyes retracted into the darkness. After a minute of waiting, Naruto could hear footsteps from behind the cage. A man who appeared to be in his late 20's stepped out of the darkness. He was wearing a black muscle shirt under an orange trench coat. He wore cargo pants that was also orange. His hair was red and short. He had bangs covering his eye's giving him a menacing look. He wore black boots that looked like they were tough and resistant. But the most distinguishing part of him were the nine orange tails behind him. They were waving around like they were on fire.
"Easier to talk to me now, eh kit?" The man asked Naruto.
"K-Kyubbi?" Naruto asked. Shock apparent in his face.
"No. A unicorn! Who else would it be Jackass!" The kyubbi responded. Naruto just looked at him in shock.
"S-so you're the Kyuubi?" Naruto was still shocked.
"Listen, Kit. I didn't bring you all the way in here to look at my human form ok!" The kyuubi was getting annoyed.
"I'm going to tell you just once. So listen carefully." Kyuubi had now closed his eyes. Naruto was leaning towards Kyuubi.
"I'm gonna do you a favor." Kyuubi said. Naruto just stared at the kyuubi.
"What favor?" Naruto asked. Not really understanding.
"A favor. As in, anything you want, just name it." The kyuubi said. Naruto looked at the kyuubi with both his eyes. Examining him.
"You want something from me." Naruto stated. The kyuubi just laughed.
"Of course I do kit." But that can wait until you're older. The kyuubi said.
"Ok. I'll think about it." Naruto said with a grin. Kyuubi just smiled. He raised his head so his eyes could now be seen. Naruto got goose bumps at what he saw. His eyes were flaming. The tips were flowing to the sides.
"Whatever you say kit. I'll be here when you want it." The kyuubi said.
Outside Naruto's mindscape….
"Oi! Naruto!" Ino was frantically waving her hands in front of Naruto. Who looked like he was a vegetable.
"Heeeelllllooooo!" Ino shouted for the 3rd time in a row. She nearly had a heart attack when Naruto jumped.
"Ino? What are you doing here?" Naruto asked confused.
"Me? What were you doing blanking out like that?" Ino asked. Annoyance clear in her face.
"Long story." Naruto said. Not wanting to let her know about the kyuubi.
"Well anyway, s-" Ino was interrupted as a new voice called.
"Naruto-kun?" A woman called for Naruto. She was wearing a Kimono that was plain white. She also had an apron over her kimono. Her hair was brown and she was wearing a bandana with the logo of ichiraku ramen printed there. She was carrying six plastic bags. Indicating she just went shopping.
"Ayame-onesan? Wow those are a lot of bags. Here let me help you!" Naruto quickly grabbed all six bags.
"Ah. Thanks Naruto-kun. And who is this young lady? Your girlfriend perhaps?" Ayame teased. Causing Naruto to blush and Ino to start ranting. 2 blocks later they were at Ichiraku.
"Thanks again Naruto-kun." Ayame said. Bowing in thanks.
"No problem Ayame-oneesan." Naruto said with a smile.
"Why don't you and your friend eat here?" Ayame suggested. Pointing at Ino. Returning the smile. Naruto just looked down.
"But I have no money." Naruto said. Ayame just smiled.
"Don't worry Naruto-kun. Just think of it as a thank you gift." Ayame said, smiling.
"Thanks Ayame-oneesan!" Naruto shouted.
"Come on Ino!" Naruto shouted. Excited to eat.
'Hmm.. What the hell. I'm not getting younger.' Ino thought with a smile.
Inside 10 mins later….
Ino couldn't believe her eyes. I mean, sure the ramen was good. Hell, she'd break her diet and eat two more bowls. But Naruto.
'Sweet Kami! Where does he put it all! I have to learn how he keeps thin!' Ino thought. Naruto, who was at his 15th bowl. Noticed her staring.
"Yes Ino-chan?" Naruto asked as he stopped eating to address Ino's staring.
"Hey! What's with calling me Ino-chan! Only Sasuke-kun can call me that!" Ino glared at Naruto. Who resumed eating right after hearing the word Sasuke. He finished ten more bowls before he called it a night. Ino had left between the 19th to 21st bowl. As he was sitting on the stool. He suddenly thought of something.
"Hey. Oji-san. You think you could teach me to cook?" Naruto suddenly asked.
"Hm? Why Naruto? I don't recall you ever wanting to cook." Teuchi stated. Confused at the weird request.
"Well, Hehe. I noticed that ramen is all that I eat. So I was wondering if I could possibly cook my own. Maybe not just ramen." He explained. Teuchi just smiled.
"Sure Naruto. I will teach you the Ichiraku way of cooking! Come by tomorrow at 9pm. I'll teach from 9 to 12 everyday." Teuchi said. Excited to actually teach Naruto cooking.
"Also Naruto-kun." Ayame suddenly appeared from the back.
"If you want, I could also home teach you. In case dad isn't feeling well or isn't here." Ayame offered. Naruto smiled.
"Thanks guys!" Naruto shouted with a huge grin.
The next day….
"298…299…300!" Naruto was currently doing 500 sets of sit-ups. While 200 other clones were reading, Practicing, or sparring next to him. Earlier that day. Naruto sent 50 extra clones to find books and scrolls about hunting and skinning. And ordered them to dispel after they read and studied the entire thing. Soon enough. Naruto was finished his exercises. And was huffing on the floor. Naruto suddenly got the last batch of information on hunting.
'Tch. I learned skinning faster then hunting. Lazy clones.' He thought. He decided to hunt a few deers. It was still barely noon.
'I'm getting faster' He thought with a smile. 3 hours later. After eating lunch and hunting. Naruto and 5 other clones were carrying a lot of deer fur and meat. They were walking towards Naruto's apartment.
'This meat can last me a year. Better sell most of it. Also I forgot. How will I sell these furs? No shop in the village would buy anything related to me.' He thought. He was so busy thinking. He didn't notice he was walking in a street which he didn't notice. He was snapped out of his daze with the sound of a voice. Or rather a set of voices, yelling, trying to get peoples attention. He looked up and he saw he was in front of a caravan.
"Hello there, It appears you have a lot of furs there. Also meat. Will you sell them to us?" A man in front of the caravan asked. He was wearing a cowboy hat. He was wearing a black t-shirt inside a white coat. And he wore black pants. All in all, he looked like a weird cowboy.
"Huh. Yeah! Are you willing to buy them?" Naruto asked eagerly. The man merely nodded.
"Not me, but my friends will most certainly will. Follow us, we'll be setting up shop in the next street." The mysterious man explained. Naruto nodded. Excited in earning money.
2 hours later….
It was now 2:00 in the afternoon. Naruto waited for 2 hours to sell his furs and meat. He was getting jumpy.
"Hey kid." The man from before appeared behind Naruto, scaring the crap out of him.
"Follow me. I'll take you to them." The man signaled him to follow. He did. He looked left to right and saw a lot of items he has never seen before. Swords that looked evil. Armor that looked like it would slow you down but at the same time protect you. And the weirdest of all, a man selling exotic pets.
'That man…..' Naruto heard the kyuubi's voice. Naruto was surprised at the sudden ability of the kyuubi to talk to him. But he shrugged it off.
'What?' Naruto asked the kyuubi telepathically.
'Nothing' Kyuubi said with a grunt. Naruto knew he was lying. But decided not to push any further.
"We're here kid." The man said as he stopped in front of a stall.
"Gyuki, I have a customer for you." The man was talking to the person in the stall. The man looked tough and battle hardened. He looked like he was 6'3. He had a scar across his face similar to that of Iruka, except that he had three of those. He had a black bandana over his hair. Covering it completely, but he had a few loose brown hair that went under the bandana. He wasn't wearing a shirt. But he had a strap on his body. If you looked behind him, you could see a bow. He also three small daggers on his hip. All strapped on his left. He was wearing black jeans that looked like they were worn out. On his left thigh, was a quiver full of arrows. Each looked like there was something carved on them. But the quiver was blocking the view. Naruto couldn't see his feet as it was blocked by the stall. The stall was like any other. Except there were furs hanging over the stall and meat under it. All in all. He looked badass in the stall.
"Who? The small runt with his clones?" The man insulted.
"Yeah. He has a few good looking furs and meat." The man explained to Gyuki.
"Ok. I'll take a look Terra." Gyuki addressed the man in front of him.
'Terra. So that's his name' Naruto thought. He glanced up and saw that Gyuki was examining the furs he was holding.
"Hmm. Let me take a closer look kid." The man asked as he held out his hand. Naruto gave the man a piece of fur.
"Hmm. Deer fur. Excellent cut. No meat. No blood. No stains. Very high quality. Tell me kid, who cut the furs.
"I did." Naruto stated with a proud look.
"Well, that's interesting. And who hunted?" Gyuki asked. Still examining the fur.
"I did that too." Naruto stated too. Gyuki held out another hand. At first Naruto didn't know what he was doing.
"Wha-"
"The meat kid." Gyuki said. Interrupting Naruto. Naruto signaled one of his clones and the clone gave the man a piece of meat. Gyuki began examining the meat.
"Hmm. Deer meat. No skin, No wasted bone. No fur. High quality too." Gyuki stated. He handed Naruto the piece of fur and meat.
"Alright kid. I believe you can make quality fur and meat. What other animals did you get?" Gyuki asked.
"Well, I got a few rabbit and wolves. But that's it. All I got left are deer's." Naruto explained.
"Well. Ok. For each cut of rabbit fur you've got I'll give you 2000 ryo. For each cut of deer fur you've got I'll give you 3000 ryo. And for each cut of wolf fur you've got I'll give you 5000 ryo. They are in demand after all. For the meat the prices for rabbit, deer and wolf are, 1500 ryo, 2500 ryo, and 6000 ryo. Respectively. Though they are per kilogram." Gyuki explained. Leaving an opened jaw Naruto.
"I-I have about 300 deer furs, 100 rabbit furs, and 80 wolf furs." Naruto said. The man just smiled.
"Then you're one rich boy. Now hand them over. And I'll give you 1500000 ryo, for the furs." The man replied calmly.
"Here you go sir." Naruto handed all his furs. The man counted the money. And gave the exact number to Naruto.
"Here you go son. Need help getting it home?" Gyuki offered Naruto help.
"No need sir. Thank you for the money." Naruto bowed. The man merely snorted.
"I hate formality kid. Just call me Gyuki." The man offered his hand for a handshake. Naruto gladly accepted.
"Then, thank you Gyuki." Naruto said. After the handshake. Naruto formed a cross hand seal.
"Kage bunshin no jutsu!" Naruto shouted. In a flash. 15 more Naruto's appeared. He pointed at five clones that were holding the money. And ordered them.
"Guard them as their going to hide the money in a safe place." He ordered them.
"Yes boss!" The clones started running in different places. Naruto grabbed one clone that was about to leave and grabbed two wads. And quickly ordered him to go. Naruto and his other clones holding the meat were about to go. But Gyuki stopped him.
"Hold on kid. I wanna let you meat my daughter." Gyuki said with a small smile. Naruto nodded. He turned to his clones and said.
"Take the meat to Teuchi-ojisan and Ayame-oneesan." He ordered. The clones started running towards their destination. Naruto turned around and saw Gyuki talking to a girl his age. Naruto immediately noticed her snow white hair that reached just below her shoulder. She was wearing a dark green kimono that reached just above her knees. It was modest, not indecent. Her chest was showing a little cleavage. Though just a little. She also wore standard ninja shoes, though they were green instead of blue. She also wore leggings. By her hip, you could see a katana, with two daggers above and below the sword. Naruto was so distracted by her he didn't hear Gyuki calling him.
"Oi gaki! Stop staring at my daughter!" Gyuki quickly hit Naruto on the head. Making him snap back to reality.
"Ow! What was that for!" Naruto screamed in pain. He heard the girl giggle at him.
'That was cute' He thought. He smiled and approached the girl.
"Hi! My name's Naruto Uzumaki!" He said as he extended his hands for a handshake. The girl promptly took it.
"Rei Kyuko" She replied with a smile. They were interrupted by Gyuki.
"Rei, Naruto here can cut high quality fur. So if you have a question about cutting fur. Just ask him." Gyuki said as he turned and greeted another customer.
"Ah.. Naruto-kun? Do you want to listen to music?" Rei asked with a blush. Naruto, having not understood the question responded with a nod. A yes nod.
"Really? Come with me please Naruto-kun." Rei took Naruto's hand and lead him towards a tent set up behind the stall. Since the street was next to a clearing. There were tents everywhere.
'Probably the vendors tents.' Naruto thought. Naruto was lead inside the tent and could see a lot of animal heads.
'These guy's have been at it for a long time' Naruto noticed. Rei quickly made Naruto sit down as she searched for something. Naruto heard an "ah ha!" as Rei sat down next to Naruto with an harmonica.
"What's that Rei-chan?" Naruto asked. Rei blushed at the suffix. But quickly shook her head.
"It's an harmonica Naruto-kun. You haven't seen one before?" She asked. Naruto just shook his head.
"Nope. Sorry." Naruto said with a smile.
"Well allow me to enlighten you Naruto-kun." She said as she started playing. Naruto couldn't describe this new feeling.
'Amazing' He thought. Her melody was slow and sweet. Like two people meeting and becoming friends. And both of them were separated. Her melody started becoming fast. As if someone was going after them. Going to kill them. Going to hurt them. As Rei finished playing. Naruto wiped away a tear he didn't know he shed.
"That was beautiful Rei-chan. That was truly beautiful. You were playing about you life didn't you?" Naruto asked. Rei just looked at him in shock. A tear threatening to fall.
"H-how did-" She was quickly interrupted by Naruto as he hugged her.
"I don't know. But you're life has been a mess. Just let go of the past, and move into the future. Because, in the future, you know you can be safe." Naruto told her. Rei's tears now fell. She returned the hug and cried on his shoulders. They stayed like that for another fifteen minutes. Naruto trying his best in comforting Rei. She finally pulled away and handed Naruto her harmonica. Naruto was confused. Before he could ask why. She answered.
"Thank you Naruto-kun. For showing me how to let go. I know this isn't much. But take it. I hope it'll comfort you, more then it did me." She said as she kissed Naruto's cheek. Causing Naruto to blush.
"Thank you, Rei-chan." He replied as he gave her another hug. She quickly returned it.
"Naruto-kun, we come by every month. At the 3rd Sunday of each month, can you promise me you'll visit? And that you won't get hurt?" She asked with hope in her eyes. Naruto couldn't say no.
"It's a promise, Rei-chan." Naruto grinned. Deepening the hug. They were so into the hug that they didn't notice Gyuki coming into the tent. Gyuki just smiled.
'Naruto. Thank you for taking my daughter out of the darkness.' Gyuki thought with a smile, as he excited the tent.
"I have to go now Rei-chan. I still have training to do." Naruto said as he pulled away. Rei was only making a puff face.
"Fine, but remember our promise!" She said. Smiling at Naruto, who was already leaving.
"Don't worry, I will!" He shouted from outside the tent. Naruto was greeted by Gyuki as he was running past the store.
"Naruto! Come here. I'm gonna give you something." Gyuki shouted. Naruto ran back and stopped in front of the stall.
"Yes?" Naruto asked, curious as to what he was gonna give him.
"Here, take this katana. It's a long sword that I never got around into using. Take it as a sign of good will." Gyuki gave Naruto an onyx Katana. It's pommel all the way to its collar were black. It had no design whatsoever. Though it did have a length of string that was just below the pommel. Its guard looked like it was stretched, It formed a square spiral, it had 4 tentacles that looked wavy. It's blade collar was dark blue in color, having two emeralds on both sides. Its main blade was black. Pitch black. Like it was soaked in ash and someone left the ash to harden. That was how black it was. The tip of the blade was forked, like a snakes tongue. It also was 4 feet long. Longer then Naruto's upper body. Gyuki sheathed the sword. Hearing the sound of the blade sharpening when it entered the sheath.
"The sheath has a built in sword sharpener. So every time you put it away, It sharpens." Gyuki explained. Naruto was awed at the intricate design of the blade. It was finely crafted. It also looked extremely expensive. Naruto, having not wanting to piss of Gyuki by not accepting it. Took hold of it and put it behind his back.
"Thank you. Gyuki." Naruto said with a bow. Gyuki just snorted.
"I told you I hate formality. Now get outta here. You're scaring the customers." Gyuki ordered. Naruto looked back and saw villagers looking at him with hate in their eyes. Naruto just smiled, an evil smile. Which promptly scared all the villagers looking at him. Naruto dashed off to the training ground with his clones. Gyuki just sighed at the blonde boy.
"Annoying brat." Gyuki said to no one in particular.
At training ground 30….
"Gahhh!" Naruto screamed. Surprising his still practicing clones. It was now 5 o clock, and the sun was beginning to set. Naruto just looked at the kenjutsu scroll in front of him.
"I can't use this style with my sword!" Naruto shouted again. Gaining snickers from his clones. True enough, the kenjutsu scroll in front of him wasn't compatible with his sword. It utilized the use of small swords, that were 1-2 feet long. Naruto's sword was 4 feet long. Naruto sighed in defeat. He couldn't use this. Nor did he know anyone who could. Naruto stood up and ordered all his clones to dispel. The clones all laughed and quickly did so. In a giant puff of smoke, the entire training field was cleared. Naruto waiting for the feed back wasn't expecting this. Naruto clutched his head in deep pain; it was the most excruciating headache he ever felt. After the pain subsided, Naruto sighed in relief.
'Damn it. Have to let them dispel 50 at a time.' Naruto thought. Naruto faced a tree and quickly did hand signs.
"Fuuton: Juuha Shou (Wind release: Beast wave strike)!" Naruto shouted as he finished the hand signs. Naruto moved his hands in a slicing motion. As 3 waves of wind came out of his hands and started coming for the tree. The tree was sliced clean. The three waves cut through the tree, cutting it into three equal parts. Naruto shouted.
"Timber!" The tree fell down in a crash, resulting in nearby animal life to run away from it. Birds flew away, rabbits came out, and even deer were running about. Naruto could only whistle.
"Wow. It cut right through the tree! It even damaged the tree behind it! Awesome jutsu!" Naruto shouted as he jumped in the air. Naruto was so busy jumping up and down he didn't notice his stomach. Well that made it self known now. As it rumbled, resulting in Naruto to stop jumping.
"I'm hungry. Better check if Teuchi-ojisan got my delivery." Naruto said to no one. He left the training ground as a few genin arrived to find the source of its noise.
A few minutes later…
"Hey Teuchi-ojisan?" Naruto shouted as he entered the stall. Naruto nearly yelped at what he heard.
"NARUTO! As a thank you for the high quality meat, you can eat here for free for the next two weeks!" Teuchi suddenly shouted. He was cooking at the back while Ayame was tending to the customers. Ayame just giggled at the sight of Naruto jumping at the sudden name calling.
"Please Naruto-kun, sit down." Ayame ordered. Naruto quickly obliged as he watched Ayame go in the back of the stall. Naruto waited for a few minutes before he nearly fell over in a heart attack. Ayame went out the kitchen holding a super JUMBO bowl. And inside of it was Ramen. All in all, Naruto thought that the bowl could hold 25 regular ramen's. Ayame was stronger then anyone thought.
"Here Naruto-kun. As a thank you, from me to you." Ayame placed the bowl in front of Naruto. Naruto just looked at the bowl. Shock in his face.
"Really Ayame-oneesan? This is for me?" Naruto asked with drool coming out of his mouth. Ayame just giggled and said yes. Naruto quickly grabbed his chopsticks and proceeded to eat. After about 30 minutes of eating. Naruto decided that he would wait until it was 9 o clock. So he could begin learning to cook. Time went by faster as he chatted with Ayame. He learned that when she wasn't on duty at Ichiraku, she was busy with her friends or busy looking for new recipes. She was a cooking otaku or rather a cooking enthusiast as she put it. Naruto only sweat dropped at how she got some of her recipes. She told Naruto that one time, she stumbled into another kitchen and learned a secret recipe in making chili. How it involved cooking deer meat, and octopus. Naruto sweat dropped at that. He would probably never try that. He thought to himself. Quickly enough, 9 o clock came and it was time to close up shop. Naruto came by the kitchen and started learning. He was quick in learning how to chop meat and make basic ramen soup. There was an accident in where Naruto cut his hand. He quickly washed it while Ayame bandaged it. But she noticed that his wound was quickly healing. She asked about that but Naruto answered with an "I don't know." As the three hours passed, Naruto could now chop meat, make soup, fillet fish, and chop vegetables. Which surprised Teuchi and Ayame, he was a really quick learner. 12 o clock came about and Naruto thanks the Father daughter duo. He quickly headed for his apartment to go to sleep. Sure enough he was there. He unlocked the door, changed his clothes and jumped in the bed.
'I'm gonna show them who's boss when our sensei arrives. Count on it! Dattebayo!' Naruto thought with a smile as he drifted to sleep.
And there it is. Ok I just want to clarify something. "-Kun" Is used when addressing boys you like or feel a deep connection to. It IS also used by older people addressing people who are lower in rank, or younger then you by a lot. And same goes with "–Chan" So I don't want reviews telling me I got the suffixes wrong ok?
And also the next chapter will be up tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Still depending on my mood. So anyways. R&R. Constructive criticism is allowed. But not flames. C.O.Y.L out. Peace!
