Ok guys here's chapter 2 of My Naruto fiction, but first I'd just like to say WOW, I never expected this kind of response for my first chapter, but then I have never done a Naruto fiction before so I guess I didn't know what to expect really, so first I'll go through the reviews the first chapter got, there were a few flames I'll leave them until the end of the reviews, I like putting the flamers in their place.
LyokoDragon15: I replied to you via PM, but I think I've fixed all the problems now, there're no more obvious errors I think.
Coolsiddhusmailbox: Hana, I would consider, but Kurenai, I think it would be best to leave her for Asuma, as for tsunami, she's a mother, and lives out in the land of waves, it would require her moving back to the leaf with them, while I like the idea, I'm thinking have her as a side lover, when the wave mission comes along and then have some Uzumaki stuff come up with wave and have her and her grandfather be put in charge of it by Naruto. Tayuya, I like her spark I may do something for her after the whole village attack, but no promises.
Chaosweaver13: glad you're liking my work, and I hope this chapter meets your approval
DragonPony022: oh yes he shall develop very well, I'm actually in the process of deciding how well at the moment as I write chapter 7, I'm trying to decide how strong to make him after the 4 year academy skip, I'm trying to make it somewhat believable while at the same time make him a complete bad ass. Thx for the Harem suggestions, I may end up extending the Harem indefinitely so that I add a new girl here and there to keep the story fresh but we'll see how it goes,
Shiho would be somewhat interesting, a geeky type prone to blushing would be interesting,
Tsunami as I already mentioned a few comments back, will be put in as a side lover during the wave mission and then be included here and there afterwards.
Karui, would make an interesting addition again it could require some time to find the right time to add her in but it could work
Ayame, I'm not so sure about, all the other girls would be shinobi or would already have combat experience so they could defend themselves and go with Naruto on missions, Ayame is a civilian which would throw that off, I was thinking to put her and Kakashi together as she's got somewhat of a crush on him and as Naruto's brother figure he needs some love to.
Moegi, ok that's just straight lolicon there, plus she's a Konohamaru fangirl, and a little young for a harem, I'll have to say no to that, but I might perhaps push later to have Konohamaru, put under the CRA and have both Moegi and Hanabi, (Hinata's little sister) to be his girls, =)
Guest: Story Artist: Fuu would require some work but I could edit the Chūnin exams to include her, Tayuya, I've already said I'll see what I can do, fem Haku, I'm still on the ropes about how to bring her in I want to but I've got to think of what method would be best for the fiction, so I'll keep you posted.
grimmreapper90: great review as always mate, I've fixed most of those little errors now so it shouldn't be a problem, I'll keep checking but I think I got them all.
firebluebird2006: I already PM'd you about this, he took an interest in her before the academy and trained her when she was very young, and then left after she refused to join him but he gave her the curse mark then hoping she would die, she's now 14 two years older than Naruto.
Mightyvish: well I think I got them all, I know I cleared up that whole Horizon/Hiruzen mistake, my own Error so it won't happen again, I hope
CP020: well here you go =)
macca123: I PM'd about that, and I added authors notes to the end of chapter 1 to make sure no one else needs to ask.
Ncpfan: thanks for giving my fic a chance, yea I guess that kind of was my bad, I suppose you could say it's a twist on the cannon, "what if Naruto was told about his parents and his burden before going to the academy, and given the help needed, and wasn't the dead last", well I think that would give some descriptions, which by the way I suck at giving =)
Guest 2: thanks and here you go =)
Namikaze09: thank you for your support, yea I knew I had to do something like that to even give Naruto a chance, I'm planning to completely bash the hell out of that council, and put them in their place along with the other idiots that put Naruto down, in this fic Naruto will PWN all.
Ok and now for you flamers.
Guest: G.O.D: "You really need to die."- what the hell is that about, f**k you a**hole, if you don't like my fic don't read it, if you're that sad and that small below the belt that you need to post sh!t like that to make yourself seem big, you really are sad, and calling yourself, G.O.D, is just proving my point, even more, its flamers like you who need to die.
Guest 1: "Forget the bashing. Come on if you don't like Sakura, Sasuke or the fanon council either change them or don't use them. It is that easy."- but bashing is half the fun, and I think I'm not alone here when I say, everyone enjoys a good bashing every now and then, and if you don't like bashing, why are you reading this fiction? I clearly stated in the summary that there will be bashing in this fic, and then again in my authors notes at the beginning of chapter one, if you don't like it don't read it simple as that.
Guest 3: "There's no just thing as a civilian council is all made up by the fandom god damn this story suck."- well that's your opinion, I put it in the summary that there was a civilian council in this fiction and yet you still opened my fic and read it and then posted this comment, which proves just how sad you are, if you don't like it, don't read it, it's that f**king simple a**hole.
Ok thanks for all the nice comments, and thanks for sitting through my little Flamer bash there if they flame me I flame right back, ok without further waiting here is chapter two, I will be trying to stick to a 5k word count for each of my chapters for his fiction to make them all even, and I won't be posting every day, my posting schedule is on my profile so you know when I will be posting, I post on a rotation setting between 3 fictions, if gives me time to write with all that life throws at me, so be patient, now here's the chapter.
Chapter 2
Naruto opens his eyes and blinks looking up at the unfamiliar ceiling, "where the hell am…oh yea my new apartment"
The blond stood up and rolled up the futon he had been using the night previously that the Hokage had sent one of his ANBU for until they got Naruto his furniture later that day. Naruto looked over to the side of his room to see the chest, scroll, and letters the Hokage had given him, deciding now was as good a time as any to read the letters he picked them up and slid down the wall and opened the first of the letters, it was a woman's handwriting.
"Dear Naruto-Kun
If you are reading this then the worst has come to pass and I and your Tou-san are no longer alive. I want to apologise for that above all, I did not want to leave you. Even though I only got to hold you for a few minutes I will always hold those minutes close to my heart, you look so adorable. I am writing this as your Tou-san holds you, you look so much like him, I can already tell your going to be a real lady killer when you grow up just like your Tou-san. I hope you grow up to be a kind, strong and gentle man, my only regret is that I won't be there to see it.
There is so much I want to say so much I want to tell you, so many memories I want to share, so much I want to know. I wonder what your life will be like after we're gone. I wonder who will be your first love, your favourite food, colour, book, your first words. Oh, Naruto-Kun I don't want to leave you, but I have no choice. The Kyūbi was ripped from me and set on a rampage and the only way to seal it is in an Uzumaki, I can't do it in my weakened state, it would only break free again, it has to be you. I have pleaded with your Tou-san to find another way but there isn't time. I just hope that the village will see you for the hero you are keeping the Kyūbi at bay. Please forgive me for leaving you Naruto it is not by my choice, just know that you are loved and will always be loved.
All the love in the world
Your Kaa-san, Kushina Uzumaki"
Halfway through the letter Naruto had started tearing up and now he was crying his heart out as tears flowed from his eyes as he read the letter over and over again through watery eyes, finally after crying for what seemed like hours he folded the letter and put it to the side as he opened the second letter.
"Dear Naruto
Since your reading this then that means the old monkey finally told you who we were. I'm sure that came as a bit of a shock, didn't it. It also means that you've been told that you hold the Kyūbi and that I was the one to seal it inside of you. I wish there was more time to look for another way to do it, I wish we had more time, but as I write this your Kaa-san is lying down with you in her arms and the Kyūbi is being held back from the village by our shinobi. They can't last much longer so I must be brief. Your Kaa-san won't be around to tell you this as the Kyūbi was ripped from her, Jinchūrikis can't survive without their bijū in them and right now it's only her will keeping her alive, but she can't last much longer. She doesn't want me to seal it in you but there is no one else that can hold the Kyūbi and even if there was as Hokage I can't ask someone else to give up their child for such a task.
The Kyūbi was ripped from your Kaa-san by a man in a cloak and mask with one eye socket. I chased him off but the Kyūbi is still on the rampage. I don't know why he did it, but what's done is done. Though he may return in the future so be on alert, I know you will be strong enough to fight off whatever comes at you, you are my son, after all, I believe you can do it.
I have told the old monkey you are to take your Kaa-san's name as I know that if you are named my son and the Jinchūriki then your life will be far too dangerous. But if you want to take my name I have made preparations. Sealed at the back of this letter are blood samples of both mine and your Kaa-sans, along with your birth certificate. The hospital will also have mine and Kushinas blood on record, give them to the old man when or if you want to take on my name, they will prove you are our son.
Also sealed is the remains of your Kaa-sans sword, it was broken in the attack when the man in the mask took you and killed Sarutobis wife, I didn't tell him this so he could focus on the battle and not go searching for the man who is already long gone, so I now leave that to you. Gomen'nasai.
There should be a blacksmith weapons shop called shinobi arms. The owner Daichi Oshiro, was the only one your Kaa-san allow to even touch her blade apart from herself or me. He was also the one who made my Hiraishin Kunai. Once he sees the sword he will no doubt put the facts together. If you want to learn your Kaa-sans clans Kenjutsu I'm sure that would make her very happy so I've sealed away the beginner scroll in the letter as well along with a few of your Kaa-sans clan Jutsu, the rest I'm sure the old monkey can give you from our vault. They are quite a drain on chakra from those who are not an Uzumaki, but with such large reserves already I know you will be just fine.
I have to go now, just know that I will always love you and that I can only hope that you can come to forgive me for putting this burden on you and then leaving you, I know you will make us both proud.
With all the love I can give
Your Tou-san Minato Namikaze- Yondaime Hokage of Konohagakure no Sato"
Naruto slowly set the letter taking a deep breath as a few tears escaped his eyes, "I forgive you Tou-San, and I will make you proud"
Looking to the back of the letter there was a large seal on it. Channelling chakra into it poofed unsealing the contents.
On the floor now in front of him sat an assortment of objects, first there was a birth certificate with two phials of blood on it. There were five scrolls with different coloured bands around them and finally a katana. It was magnificent the handle was wooden with a gold hilt with a red cloth grip to the guard which was also golden which was actually the Uzumaki swirl, the blade was broken in the middle, but as his Tou-san had mentioned the blade had been so when sealed. A scroll beside it was full of the Uzumaki Kenjutsu Naruto let his hand glide over the handle of the Kanata.
"Don't worry Kaa-san I'll make you both proud" Naruto then looked at the Kage Bunshin scroll, "and I'll start right now" taking the scroll he started reading it back to front and re-read his Kaa-san's notes.
"Kage Bunshin- this technique creates copies of the user. However, these clones are corporeal instead of illusions. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. The clones are capable of performing techniques on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after hit by a strong enough force. The clones can also disperse on their own or be dispelled by the user of the technique. Shadow clones can't be distinguished from the original with the Sharingan or Byakugan Dōjutsu which is handy to use when fighting them. Also, they come in handy when doing chores around the house.
A handy thing to remember about the Kage Bunshin technique is that the user retains all the memories from the clones once they are dispelled, this make techniques that require muscle memory or memorizing information easier to get down, as they say, two heads are better than one, though for an Uzumaki it's more like two hundred.
Extra note: must teach this technique to Minato, this technique would be great in bed"
Reading that last bit Naruto immediately blushed red realizing what it meant and then shook his head, "oh great my Kaa-san was a pervert, well at least I know where I get that part of me from, but those clone sound really handy…muscle memory that's like stances, punches, kick, hand signs and movements like writing, this could really help me out when I start learning Fūinjutsu", Naruto grinned, "well I guess I know what I'm learning first, but I've only got a few hours until Jiji comes to get me and we go furniture, and clothes shopping, eh plenty of time to get this one down now let's see here"
Time skip one hour later
There was a knock at the door and Naruto walked over to answer it, he opened it to show a smirking Anko.
"Morning Gaki, how's things?" Anko asked with a grin
Naruto smirked back, "going slow this morning, trying to get this Kage Bunshin Jutsu down, never learned a Jutsu before"
Anko chuckled, "I'll give ya a hand then, I always wanted to learn some other type of clone aside from the regular," she said as she came in and the two sat down and started going over the scroll.
Naruto looked to Anko, "thanks again for the save yesterday, you really saved my ass"
Anko giggled, "No problem Gaki, it's a nice ass to be saving"
Naruto looked to Anko, "you only just met me yesterday and now you're complimenting my ass? You sure do have a strange sense of timing, especially for someone around our ages"
Anko shrugged, "what can I say, a girl likes what she likes"
Naruto shook his head with a smirk and went back to reading the scroll.
Time skip one more hour later
Hiruzen walked to Naruto's new apartment and knocked on the door, hearing a whole pile of ruckus inside he raised an eyebrow, "what's going on in there?"
The next thing the door opened showing the room full of Naruto and two Anko being tossed about like beach balls, "THIS ISNT FUNNY GAKI!" Anko yelled as she was tossed yet again
The Naruto clones were all laughing watching them go, """""""We think it is!"""""" all the clones yelled laughing
But then Hiruzen coughed getting everyone's attention causing all the clones to drop the two girls, one going off in a poof, and then in another larger explosion of smoke the horde of Naruto clones disappeared leaving only one with a grin on his face, "hey Jiji, we were wondering when you were going to get here"
Hiruzen chuckled hearing the blond, "well Naruto, I can see both you and Anko have the Kage Bunshin down, impressive, learning an A-rank Ninjutsu in just a few hours, and your very first one also, you certainly are your Tou-sans son"
Naruto grinned rubbing the back of his head sheepishly, "yeah it wasn't easy, it wasn't until Anko-Chan came over and helped me that I finally got it down flat"
The Hokage blinked and smiled, "oh so it's Anko-Chan, now is it, my aren't you two getting friendly quickly" he grinned
Naruto chuckled, 'oh two can play at that game Jiji', "well you know what they say about those who become ninja, old enough to kill and all that, plus she's cute I wouldn't mind"
The old Hokage's eyes widened hearing that as he felt a nose bleed just about to come on, he quickly turn and coughed bringing his hand up to cover it, "*Cough*, quite right Naruto-Kun quite right, now let's be off, we still have to get you sorted with clothes and new furnishings for your apartment" he said starting to walk away
Naruto was about to follow when he felt a weight being draped over his shoulders he looked back to see Anko leaning on him with a very big grin, "what was that all for Gaki, did you just say that to bust his balls or did you actually mean that you said" she asked with a suggestive tone in her voice but with a slight hint of fear.
Naruto heard the slight tone in her voice, "truthfully, yes. But you have to understand Anko-Chan, I've never had very many friends, you'd probably be the first. I didn't want to do anything to risk that friendship so soon. When I saw you… you were gorgeous, you're beautiful and strong, clever and don't judge me for having the Kyūbi in me. I'd have to be a complete moron not to have feelings for you"
Anko was taken back by that here was this boy she had only just met the other day, complementing her like that, calling her beautiful and telling her he has feelings for her. For some reason it made her feel nice, she smiled, not seductively, not sadistically, but happily. "you really think that" she blushed for the first time in her life the young snake charmer blushed.
Naruto nodded, "I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it, so Anko-Chan what do you say should we give it a go, slowly to see where it leads"
Anko blushed again with a smiled, "s-sure, I wouldn't mind"
Naruto smiled holding out his hand she slowly took it and they began to walk forward to the door.
Anko looked at Naruto who had a slight smile on his lips, it made her smile, "you know Naruto-Kun, you're my first real friend to"
Naruto looked to her sad hearing that, "I'm sorry to hear that"
Anko nodded softly, "it was because of my first sensei, when I was seven years old, I was taken under his wing, he trained me, but when I was nine, he was branded a traitor for crimes against the village, he left and tried to take me with him, but I refused to go. It's because of him that I'm looked at as if I was the traitor as if I'm him."
Naruto stopped hearing that, Anko's heart hitched, what if he thought of her the same way, what if he was just like all the others, what if… her thoughts were halted when Naruto wrapped his arms around her and held her in a hug.
"I'm sorry" he said softly and he hugged her making Anko's eyes widened, what did he have to be sorry for, "I'm sorry you had to go through all the pain you have, I'm sorry we couldn't have been friends sooner, but I swear I will not let anyone hurt you again"
Hearing that almost brought Anko to tears she hugged onto the younger boy for dear life, Naruto smiled feeling her hug him tighter and let the girl have her moment, before they separated and walked out of the apartment hand in hand, but before they did Naruto quickly ran back and took his Kaa-san's broken sword which was sealed inside a scroll with him before they walked out.
As they walked out the Hokage looked to them and see them holding hands and he smiled, 'good for you Naruto good for you', "well shall we get going, we have lots to buy"
Both Naruto and Anko nodded and walked along with the Hokage heading for the shops.
Scene break
Both Naruto and Anko walked down the street beside the Hokage, Naruto looked to the elderly Hokage, "Jiji, do you know of a shop called shinobi arms?"
Hiruzen nodded, "why yes I do Naruto, it's run by an old friend of your Tou-sans the man knew your Tou-san back in the academy and even became a shinobi, but retired after a mission of his went bad and he lost his teammates sadly. He now runs the shop, your Tou-san and Kaa-san used to visit it frequently. Why do you ask?"
Naruto tapped the scroll he had, "my Kaa-san left me her sword, though it was broken in the incident when the Kyūbi was released, my Tou-san said in the letter to take it to him for repairs as he's the only one Kaa-san ever allowed to work on her blade, also after this there's something I need to tell you about what happened the day of my birth, about how the Kyūbi was released and what happened after"
The elderly Hokage saw the look in the boy's eyes of sadness, whatever it was painful for someone, the Hokage nodded, "alright my boy after were done shopping we'll go back to my office to talk"
Naruto nodded in thanks, he wasn't looking forward to telling the man he looked up to as a grandfather about that night about how the man who not only released the Kyūbi, that caused both his parents deaths, was also the one who killed his wife, it would not be a pleasant conversation.
Scene break
The bell rang as the three of them walked into the store, as they did a man came out he was huge at least seven foot tall with a body that looked like a hunk of muscle, he wore a black shirt and thick navy cloth pants, his hair was long and black but was kept in a braid that ran to the middle of his back, he wore a white blacksmiths apron over his front which had multiple marks on it showing it was worn a lot.
Coming out of the back the man blinked seeing the two children coming into his store along with that of the Hokage of the village, the man immediately lowered his head, "Hokage-Sama, it's an honour for you to grace my store with your presence today, what might I help you with"
The elderly Hokage smiled seeing the man again, "ah Daichi-Kun it's good to see you again it's been too long, I'm just bringing along this one here to get him kitted out in some new attire, he personally requested to come here"
The large man blinked and looked to the young blond boy knowing who he was in an instant. Not many didn't know of the Kyūbi container in the older generations, but he knew his friends work would hold and didn't hold the fact against the boy. "oh well this is a surprise, boy why did you request to come here, not that I'm not flattered but normally people have to shop at a store once to know if they like the place, and I'm certain you've never shopped here before, so what made you want to?"
The blond smiled seeing the rather large man and hearing the way he talked to him and he knew that he wasn't like the rest of the village, there was no malice in his voice, "well that's actually quite simple, Oshiro-san, my Kaa-san trusted your work and I figured why shouldn't I do the same" he said as he approached the counter taking the scroll out of his pocket as he went
Daichi looked at the boy blinking, as far as he had known Minato had chosen an orphan to house the Kyūbi, and the boy had never known who his parents where so this was a confusing statement. "Oh is that a fact, and who was your Kaa-san boy?"
Naruto smiles and unfurled the scroll and touching the seal looking at the large man, "the last owner of this sword", Naruto stated before channelling chakra opening the seal and bringing the sword out.
Daichis, eyes widened seeing the sword in front of him, he hadn't seen that sword in twelve years he knew Kushina and Minato very well and he knew that sword just as well, he had spent so many hours working on it. Shocked he looked at the sword and then to the boy in front of him, and then it hit him.
He was one of the few to know about Minato and Kushinas marriage, there was only twelve or so who actually knew about it, it had been a small event to keep it that way after all what would Kumo and Iwa do if they heard the two biggest threats to them got married, that would just be asking for trouble.
And now here was this boy, in front of him claiming Kushina was his Kaa-san, and looking like a mini-Minato, with whiskers, he had to be sure. He looked to the Hokage for confirmation to get a sad nod, making the man's eyes widen more as he looked back to the boy in front of him, "…well I'll be damned, Minato you sly dog" he said before bursting into a hardy laugh, "he pulled one over on the whole village from beyond the grave I swear I did not see that one coming, Uzumaki-san, your parents were my best friends back in the academy, you are always welcome in my store" he said with a big smile
Naruto grinned back at him "thank you, Oshiro-san"
Daichi waved his hand in front of him gesturing no, "enough of the formalities, call me Daichi, the son of my best friend has that right", Naruto nodded, Daichi ran his hand over the blade and smiled, "The Red Maelstrom, that's what your Kaa-san named her blade it was the last blade to be made from Uzu, they had this technique in forging their metals that made them stronger than most and when Uzumaki chakra runs through it, that is where it really shines. Have you held it yet"
Naruto shook his head, "no I was waiting until it was repaired, and that's why I'm here my Tou-san said in his letter to me that you were the only one my Kaa-san trusted to work on her blade"
"That I was," he said as he lifted the broken katana up looking at the break, "it's repairable, but it's going to take a few weeks, Uzumaki blades takes months to form. The metal is steeped in pure Uzumaki chakra, you Tou-san came up with a way to repair the blade using seals replicating the Uzumaki chakra for just the purpose, I'll pull them out and start working on it tonight" he then turned the handle towards Naruto, "here channel your chakra through the blade and see what made Uzumaki steel so special"
Naruto took the blade in his hand and focused channelling his chakra through the blade as told, he opened his eyes to see the metal was actually glowing red with his chakra in it, "cool"
"Very, Uzumaki blades are meant to only be wielded by an Uzumaki, now that you've wielded it, it's bound to you, it won't let anyone but you or those you allow to wield it, should they try the blade will increase in weight making it impossible to lift, along with giving the fool who tried to wield it nasty chakra burns, so Naruto-san, will Konoha be getting a new red death in the future, or rather yellow death?"
Naruto looked confused for a second until the Hokage spoke up, "that was your Kaa-san other nickname given during the war, she was known as the red death because of her swordsmanship and her red hair"
"That and the trail of bodies she left between here and Kumo, the woman was a master with a blade with no equal," Daichi said with a smirk.
Anko whistled, "The more I hear about your Kaa-Sama Naruto-Kun the more I'm starting to like her more and more, she sounds like she was a total bad ass"
Naruto grinned, "Yea, and yes hopefully in the future it will, I'm planning to learn my Kaa-sans Kenjutsu, and take after my Tou-san in Fūinjutsu, I plan on making them both proud"
That brought a smile to the Hokage's face, 'you already have Naruto-Kun more than you know'
Daichi nodded, "well now that that's out of the way, let's get you kitted out, any specific style you're looking for"
Naruto smiled, "yea I've got a few idea"
Time skip
After about three hours of pulling clothes, with Anko adding her own commentary and saying he should add a trench coat to it all Naruto finally had his outfit.
Steel toes shinobi boots, black, with chakra metal caps for extra strength and durability.
Black ANBU combat trousers, made of a thick and durable fabric, with pockets on both the shins and thighs for kunai and other equipment.
A black mesh shirt with red rims around the arms, neck, and waist, with red chakra bandages around his midsection
Black fingerless ANBU gloves with metal backplates, and taking Anko's advice a black shinobi trench coat with chakra metal shoulder pads, and on the back had the kanji for, ninth demon (第九鬼) down the back in deep red, with the Uzumaki clan mark right above it.
When the Hokage asked him why he had that put on it, Naruto simply shrugged saying, "that's what the rest of the village see me as, may as well tell them if they try anything now, they're screwed"
Anko chuckled, with a rather sadistic grin. "I like it"
Daichi nodded, "your Tou-san designed some seals that will make that coat last you. I already took the liberty of applying them to the one you're wearing and to the two others in your order. They're for durability and fit. They make the coat grow with your body should you suddenly take a growth spurt the coat will grow with you, how do you think some of the Akimichi use their expansion Jutsu without tearing their clothes off them? your Tou-san designed it for them, before that they had to always wear chakra cloth to allow it to grow with them, but your Tou-san fixed all that, and with the durability seal it's as though as high-grade body armour. It won't burn or rip without some major firepower behind the attack, so unless you're fighting a Kage level shinobi I don't think you'll be needing anymore soon"
Naruto grinned, "thanks, oh and do you sell training weapons here"
Daichi nodded, "yes we do, what were you looking for, a bokken for training while your Kaa-sans blade is in for repair?"
Naruto nodded, "yea and about three hundred of them if you don't mind?"
Daichi and the Hokage blinked, "why so many Naruto-san, are you worried about the quality?"
"Yes Naruto-Kun you could just by maybe three now and if you need more in a few years come back" reasoned Hiruzen.
Naruto shook his head, "no I'm not worried about the quality Daichi-san, and I don't think three would do with the way I plan on training Jiji. If what my Kaa-san wrote down on the Kage-Bunshin scroll is correct, I should be able to use them to get the stances down on the Kenjutsu style with them and then put them to work sparring after in order to train, and I'd still get the experience and muscle memory"
The Hokage nodded, "I see, just be careful with that Naruto, you could damage your mind creating so many clones like that, the influx of memories could hurt, dispel them in groups of about ten or so when you do use that method so as not to hurt yourself"
Naruto nodded, and looked to Daichi, "very well Naruto-san I will go and get your bokkens I'll have them in a storage scroll at the front counter with the rest of your order, anything else?"
Naruto nodded, "yes, about five thousand kunai, shuriken and Senbon needles, twenty large scrolls of seal paper, five hundred litres of ink, and five hundred Fūinjutsu brushes and ink jars. Handwriting and throwing are also about muscle memory, I'm going to be blitzing my training when I get home. I want to get through as much as I can before I start the academy in three weeks"
Daichi nodded again, "alright then I'll have the supplies in scrolls by the front desk" before turning and leaving to the back.
Hiruzen nodded hearing Naruto's plans, "Naruto-Kun if you want I could, after our meeting, write you up a training schedule to help you train for the next few weeks. I'd also recommend you send some clones to the library to read up on survival guides to pick up other skills like hunting and fishing, and reading up on history, law, politics, and other villages might help also, we could factor all that in also if you'd like. I could also assign you a Kenjutsu instructor to help you with your stances and assess your skills as you progress, I think I have a pair in mind just for that job"
Naruto smirked, "that would be great Jiji. I can use all the help I can get, though the librarian doesn't like me, much like the rest of the village" Naruto finished rolling his eyes
The Hokage waved him off, "no need to worry about it Naruto-Kun I'll see to it that you can come and go as you please" Hiruzen said as they walked to the counter again, Daichi came out of the back with a number of ladled scrolls
"Here's everything Naruto-san, I even through in about fifty practice dummies into another scroll for practising on free of charge for the amount you've just bought" he smiled
Naruto grinned, "Thanks, I'll definitely be making use out of them, so how much does all of that come to"
"The five sets of outfits come to thirty-five thousand a set, the three coats with seals five thousand a piece, the three hundred bokkens at five hundred per, the shuriken at one hundred fifty per, kunai at one hundred seventy-five per and Senbon at one hundred twenty-five per, then the large scrolls of sealing paper at fifteen thousand apiece and then the ink at two thousand a litter, then the brushes and jars as one hundred per set, brings the total to three million, forty thousand Ryo (Yen)" Daichi said running up the numbers
(AN For those of you that are curious as to the full prices that's. 175000 for the outfits, 15000 for the coats, 150000 for the bokken, 750000 for the shuriken, 875000 for the kunai, 625000 for the Senbon, 300000 for the seal paper, 100000 for the ink, And 50000 for the brushes and ink jars, and in UK pounds that would be £16344.25 or in US dollars $24675.92)
Anko blinked at the price thinking, 'holy shit that's a lot of Dango'
Naruto looked to the third Hokage who smiled as he handed Naruto the card for his account, Naruto swiped it and the man nodded. Naruto then gestured Jiji to lean down, "Jiji just how much is five percent of the Uzumaki clan account?"
The elderly Hokage smiled, before whispering something into Naruto's ear making his eyes widened and he mentally screamed, 'holy fuck that's a whole lot of Ramen'
Scene break and time skip
Naruto sat across from his Grandfather figure in his office, whose fists were clenched and shaking. Naruto had just told him about what was in the letter his Tou-san had left him, which told about what happened the night of the Kyūbi attack about how a man had appeared killed his wife and released the Kyūbi upon the village. Naruto had been sitting for the past ten minutes in silence as the old man went through the events and that Naruto had told him about. Finally, the man spoke.
"Thank you for telling me about this Naruto-Kun, your Tou-san was right to keep it from me, had I had known I would have chased the bastard to the ends of the elemental nations, I'm ashamed to say. I had always wondered what happened that night now I know, you have done me a great kindness" Hiruzen said his voice showing restraint from both anger and breaking down at that moment in tears.
Naruto nodded hearing the tone, "your welcome Jiji if you want I can come back tomorrow or whenever you're feeling up to it and we can sort out my schedule then"
The old Hokage shook his head, "no, I'm fine my boy, thank you for your concern but it's been so many years the pain of the loss has numbed, now let's get to the criteria of what you want to learn over the next three weeks so we can get started on your schedule"
Naruto nodded knowing the old man was lying, that he just needed the distraction at the moment so he would give him one, and this at the very moment just added another reason why Naruto would hunt down the bastard that did this and end him.
