I don't own Naruto

Naruto woke up early in the morning to get ready for the training that Kyuubi had planned for him. He quickly went through his morning routine which consisted of taking a short shower and brushing his teeth, getting dressed for the day, and a small breakfast of whole grain. He then left out the window and headed to his favorite training ground.

-Training ground 44-

Naruto was lazily jumping through trees when he finally made it to a clearing in the forest. This was a clearing that he had used many times before for his training. It had almost everything you would need to help you train with the large open space, the lake off to the side with a waterfall falling into it from a cliff and the high trees.

"What the fuck..."

In the middle of the clearing was a jaguar. But not your average jaguar. This thing was at least twenty feet tall and had a tail half as long that was almost as thick as Naruto is wide. The jaguar was jet black and had glowing green slitted eyes that were looking straight at Naruto. It's canines were about a foot long and looked like they could chomp through even the strongest metal.

Before Naruto could do anything the jaguar lashed out with it's tailed and grabbed him.

"I've been waiting for you young one." The jaguar said as it brought Naruto before him.

Naruto just stared into it's eyes knowing that he couldn't do anything to get away. He was held in front of the large feline for a few minutes before he started to get annoyed and his eyebrow started twitching.

"I would appreciate it if you would do something, if you aren't going to kill me you could at least set me down so I can begin training." Naruto said in a monotone voice, though a hint of annoyance could be heard.

"Not afraid when you are caught in the clutches of the enemy and have no way out..." The jaguar said. "I like you." The jaguar grinned showing all it's teeth

"Does that mean you will let me down?" Naruto asked.

The jaguar chuckled before lowering Naruto to the ground and releasing him when he was on his feet. "Now the reason I was here waiting for you is because the jaguar clan has been watching you over the last few years and seen the hardships that you have been through, and we are impressed with your willpower, most people would have either committed suicide or would have gone insane by now." The jaguar praised.

"Can't say that killing myself hasn't crossed my mind a few hundred times." Naruto mumbled.

"Anyway, we have decided to let you sign our summoning contract for your perseverance, there will be no test with the boss summon since we figured your life was test enough." When the jaguar finished talking a scroll poofed into his tail and he lowered it onto the ground in front of the blonde. "Just sign in blood and you are good to go."

Naruto knelt down on the ground and took out a kunai and cut his forefinger, he then wrote his name in blood and stamped his fingerprints in the box below his name. After he did that the jaguar rolled up the scroll and poofed it away. He then told Naruto the handsigns required for summoning before poofing back to the summon world.

"Well... That was an interesting experience." Naruto deadpanned. "Ok. Back to the original reason I was here. Kyuubi can you hear me?"

'Think what you want to say to me kit, don't need you looking crazy.' Kyuubi responded.

'Right, so what are we going to do.?' Naruto asked.

'I am going to have you make about 100 Kage Bunshins to break into a few groups that will begin working on chakra control, genjutsu, and continue your fuuinjutsu knowledge. Then you will summon one of those jaguars that you now have and see if they can teach you their clan's taijutsu style. Most summoning clans have a taijutsu style that go well with their clan.'

'Got it.'

Naruto quickly made 100 clones that split up to do their assigned tasks, 50 for chakra control seeing as his sucked horribly, then fuuinjutsu and genjutsu each got 25. He was currently working on weight seals to help him with his training.

'Kit you will not be using weight seals on your body. You are too young for them. If you put them on they will stunt your growth and you are already pretty damn short.' Kyuubi said after hearing what Naruto was planning.

'Then what am I supposed to use to increase my speed and strength, calisthenics will only get me so far.'

'Use resistance seals, they are the next level in training seals, so keep working on the weight seals and then when you finish with those move onto resistance seals. Also if you learn how to place seals on people using only your chakra to write the seal then you could place a weight seal on someone that will make them ten times heavier. Would make fighting them ten times easier.'

'Okay, I will split the fuuinjutsu group up into those learning weight seals and practicing writing seals with only chakra then.'

And with a mental command the fuuinjutsu group split. Twenty continued to work on the weight seal while the other 5 went to work on writing seals with only their chakra. After that was done he bit his thumb and smeared the blood on his palm before going through the hand seals for summoning slammed his hand on the ground.

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"

After the smoke cleared another jet black jaguar was standing in front of him. This one however was only about three feet from foot to shoulder and had piercing orange eyes.

"Hello Naruto-sama, what do you require" The jaguar asked.

'I don't like that sama suffix. Makes me feel old...'Naruto thought. "Just Naruto is fine.. Uh..."

"Heiko" the jaguar answered.

"Right, Heiko. I called you here because I was wondering if you could teach me the summoning clans taijutsu style." Naruto stated.

"Of course I can. However, we will also need to get you a pair of saber claws, a weapon that we have developed that work with our taijutsu style, though it is a strong style even without them, with the claws it adds more to it." Heiko answered before there was a puff of smoke in front of him.

When the cloud dispersed Naruto could see a much smaller jaguar standing in front of the larger jaguar. This jaguar was yellow with black spots and had yellow eyes.

"What can I do for you Heiko?" The young jaguar asked.

"I need you to go get a pair of saber claws that will work for our summoner." Heiko said while pointing to Naruto with his tail.

The small jaguar turned around and looked at Naruto for a second before bounding up to him.

"Hello! My name is Renja!" The jaguar exclaimed while looking up at Naruto.

Naruto allowed a small smile to cross his face before he replied. "Hello Renja. My name is Uzumaki Naruto and I am your new summoner. Is there anything you need of me to get me some of those saber blades?"

"I just need to measure your hands to make sure we get you some that fit you." Renja replied.

With that said Naruto held out his hands to the jaguar who looked at them with a face of concentration. "Right! Okay I will be right back with some that'll fit." And with that Renja poofed back to his realm.

"We will just wait for him to arrive before we begin your training." Heiko said as he settled down in the clearing tucking his front paws underneath him.

About three minutes later Renja returned with Naruto's saber claws. The saber claws had to be one of the most exotic weapons Naruto had ever seen. They were similar to a kunai or dagger seeing as they had a blade that came to a point but they were shaped differently. The blade was curved looking like half a heart. Most of the blade was sharpened, the curved part had what looked like serrations cut into it, but Heiko explained to him that those were used mostly for catching a blade in. They were pretty ingenious if he were honest with himself. They added more lateral reach to his punches as well as cutting power. The only down side he saw was that he couldn't really stab with them, but they were built for slashing so that was to be expected.

"Alright now that we have got you set up with your saber claws lets get down to training." Heiko said. After he said that he stood on his hind legs coming up to about 5'8". "You hold the saber claws similar to how you would hold a reverse grip kunai, so that the blade is facing outwards and away from your body. That way if someone dodges away from you there is still the possibility of cutting them. Now lets get started with the katas, our style is called Inshō-tekina pansāsutairu, it is an agility based style. You strike quick and often and wear your opponent down." He then dropped into the stance and motioned for Naruto to do the same. He spread his legs to just past shoulder width apart and raised his left hand to just in front of his chest while his right hand was next to his stomach. "Good now let's continue."

-5 hours later-

Naruto can be found resting underneath one of the enormous trees in found in the Forest of Death. He had just completed some of the most rigorous training that he has ever been through, and then he dispelled all his clones at once causing him to pass out from memory overload. Now he is sorting out what he had learned during the training session.

His genjutsu clones were able to learn a few genjutsus the Kyuubi taught them, he also explained to the clones how he is basically immune to all genjutsu except for very complicated high level genjutsus, sharingan genjutsus, and demonic genjutsu. He also explained how if he were caught in any of those he would just need to call upon his chakra to act as a foreign chakra to dispel the genjutsu. So he was basically immune to genjutsu.

His fuuinjutsu clones were able to make a working weight seal but haven't been able to control the amount of weight yet, his other fuuinjutsu clones were having trouble creating seals from their chakra. Kyuubi explained to them how the ultimate goal was for him to be able to just hit someone with an open palm and be able to place a seal on them that way in the half a second that his hand is connected to the other person. The problem with that is, at this point in time, he could hardly even make a mark let alone tag a complicated seal on someone in half a second.

His chakra control clones did incredibly well they were able to get tree walking in the first two hours before they moved onto water walking, which is where they left off before they dispelled.

His taijutsu work with Heiko was coming along great. Heiko told him that he is an extremely fast learner and that he is learning the taijutsu style faster than he expected him to. He was still choppy with some of his movements and didn't have the speed to execute some of the maneuvers, but that will come along in time, mostly after he has learned the resistance seal.

Heiko had gone back to the summoning realm stating that Naruto's taijutsu training was done for the day. Naruto just needed to rest his muscles and they would pick up again tomorrow. Seeing as he still had a good four hours before he needed to go back to his apartment for some sleep he decided to see if he could learn any ninjutsu from the Kyuubi.

'Hey Kyuubi, you think you could teach me some ninjutsu?' Naruto asked.

'Sure kit just give me a minute to check your chakra affinities.'

'How are you going to do that?'

'I'm going to look at your chakra. I am an all powerful being seeing the affinities in someones chakra is childs play.'

So Naruto sat there for a minute before he heard back from the Kyuubi.

'Okay it seems that you have affinities to both Wind and Water. Pretty nice if you ask me. An extremely offensive affinity in wind and a balanced offensive and defensive affinity in water. You have a stronger affinity to wind so you should probably work on mastering that one first.' Kyuubi explained.

'Could you tell me how to master it?'

'You are going to need to cut leaves in half using only your chakra. Make a lot of clones and then grab some leaves. Hold them in your palms and focus your chakra into them and then convert it into wind chakra which you would probably envision it as something incredibly sharp.'

'Right.' And with that Naruto created 200 clones who all went of to a tree and grabbed a leaf and started to try and cut it using their chakra. After the first hour with no progress they started to realize that this was an incredibly difficult exercise, but Naruto was never one to give up when things got hard, if he had he would not be alive. So with renewed determination he went back to the leaf cutting exercise with renewed vigor.

A few hours later Naruto was laying in the middle of the clearing panting hard with a leaf that was torn halfway in his hands. He may not have gotten through the whole leaf but he was making progress, and since Kyuubi told him that this was a Jounin level exercise he thought he was doing pretty well.

'Too tired to go home, I'll just spend the night out here.' Naruto thought before he crawled over to a large tree with equally large roots that he could use as shelter. As he lay under the roots looking up through the holes at the sky he couldn't help but think how beautiful and peaceful the night sky is.

-Next morning-

Naruto woke up and immediately looked around for any hostile civilians or ninja. He blinked when he realized he was in a forest and slowly began to remember the previous day. He crawled out from underneath the roots of the tree he was in and stretched out his limbs feeling the satisfying pops of his joints. He felt more refreshed than he ever had before, he had to sleep outside some more if this is how he felt when he woke up.

After that revelation he quickly reviewed what he had learned yesterday during his training session. He was a natural when it came to fuuinjutsu so it was no surprise to him when he had learned the weight seal in just under a day with the help of some kage bunshin. What was getting to him though was writing seals onto objects using his chakra. Right now he could successfully right a single kanji on an object but it took a good five seconds for him to be able to write it, not that 'tap' that Kyuubi told him he should learn to do. How was he supposed to write complicated seals in just half a second of contact with his chakra, it was an extremely difficult task but he would get it done sooner or later. His genjutsu training was coming along perfectly. He wasn't as natural when it came to genjutsu but he was still good with it, and he already was thinking of some things he could do with it.

His Taijutsu was coming along as well as it could. Having his growth stunted in the academy he never really had a taijutsu style. The academy style was taught to him incorrectly so he never bothered with it, besides it didn't really fit him, but now that he had his own style and someone who was willing to teach him he was determined to master the style as quickly as possible.

Wind manipulation was, putting it lightly, incredibly difficult. Even with a couple hundred clones working for about four hours he was only able to get halfway through a leaf, this exercise was tough, but that also means that it would be very rewarding when he actually mastered it.

Naruto looked around the clearing, he saw a boar off in the forest eating some kind of bush. His stomach responded with a growl letting Naruto know that he didn't eat lunch or dinner last night and he would be damned if he missed breakfast. He quickly pulled out his saber claws and jumped in the trees above the boar planning to drop down on it from above. When he got onto a branch above it he leapt down on the unsuspecting animal. When he was about two feet from landing on the boar he slashed at the boars neck with his saber claws. They went right through the boar's spine and severed the head completely.

"Wow, didn't think they were that sharp..."

Naruto quickly wiped his saber claws off and stored them back inside his cloak, he would have to make storage seals for them later, he then grabbed the boars legs and started dragging the large animal back into the clearing.

When he got the boar to the center of the clearing he went back out into the forest to get some wood to start a fire, he wasn't about to eat the thing raw, but before he left he made a shadow clone to skin and disembowel the boar.

Naruto came back a few minutes later with an armful of firewood to an interesting sight. Surrounding the clone that he left with the boar was a circle of tigers, but they were not aggressive, instead they were all lying down like they were waiting for something. Naruto made his way over to his clone to see what was with the circle of predators.

"Hey boss, sorry about the tigers, they came about a minute after you left and wanted some food. I promised them some if they didn't try anything." The clone said before poofing away.

"Well I guess since I promised you some food you can have some. Let me just cut it up so everyone gets some." Naruto said as he looked at the tigers.

They seemed to understand him and slowly rose to their feet before walking in front of him and making an orderly line. Naruto blinked owlishly before he shook his head and started to cut the boar into pieces.

When he finished cutting the boar into pieces he put all the pieces that he made for the tigers out in front of him, he was half expecting one of the tigers to just take all of the meat and leave nothing for the rest of them but was again surprised when the first tiger in line took the first piece of meat closest to him before walking away to lay under a tree while he ate. This process was repeated until every tiger had a piece of meat. Naruto just shook his head before turning to the firewood he collected.

He quickly set up the fire and got it started with some firestarters that he always kept with him. He took his piece of boar that he cut for himself and placed it on a flat rock that he found and placed the rock in the fire to cook. Ten minutes later Naruto deemed the meat ready to eat when he came upon the problem of getting the meat out of the fire. He didn't have anything to grab it with and if he were to try and use a kunai it would either slide right off or he would burn his hand.

'Kit, Kage Bunshin duplicates anything on your person, so go pick up that tanto that is on the ground behind you and then make some shadow clones. The reach of the tanto will ensure that you don't get burned and the clones will make sure the rock doesn't tip over and spill the meat in the fire.' Kyuubi explained.

Naruto looked behind him to see if there really was a tanto behind him, and sure enough there was a tanto behind him, not in the best shape admittedly, but enough for him to get his food out of the fire. 'Why didn't I notice that before?' Naruto thought.

'One of the tigers was chewing on it.'

'Oh...' After retrieving the tanto Naruto made three kage bunshin and the four Naruto's surrounded the fire. Each reached out with their tanto so that they each were stabilizing an edge of the rock and slowly lifted the rock out of the fire and put it on the ground. With that done Naruto dispelled the clones before waiting a minute before digging into his meal.

When he finished with his meal he immediately created a small army of clones to continue what he was doing the day before and summoned Heiko, he would continue on with this pattern for the rest of the week until it came time for him to get his team.

Sorry about not that much happening in this chapter. Next chapter will be better, I promise.
