Naruto: Selected
Chapter 1:Training
1 Week into Training
"So Naruto? You think you have the shadow clone Jutsu down its going to become vital for teaching you as much as possible in short amount of time" Jiraiya asked while holding a pen
"Yea, Jiraiya-ji-ji I got it down in fact I found it to be easy like you said because I have big chakra reserves and all!" Naruto yelled
"Fine then make as many as you can and if you can make over 10 I will pay for ramen tonight!"
"Really?! Okay then Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu:( Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu)!"
Around 150 Naruto's appeared in the clearing causing Jiraiya to fall off the toad he was sitting on
"Whoa" He said out loud to himself "brings a whole new meaning to the term one man army, alright Naruto I'm impressed come on it's the old man's turn to teach now"
"Okay Jiraiya-ji-ji!" Naruto said dispelling his technique and running after the toad hermit
1 Month 2 Weeks into Training
"You know Jiraiya" Sarutobi said while looking at Naruto using the Bunshin Daibakuha:( Great Clone Explosion) if he keeps up at this rate we are going to run out of things to teach him"
"You don't mean that it took him a month to get the charka control down to do it for just one clone but still it takes most Joinin 2 months to learn that move" Jiraiya commented "And besides you're the professor you have one or two Jutsu tucked away for day right?!"
"One or Two?" Sarutobi asked "I'm afraid you're wrong my pupil I much more than One or Two Jutsu tucked away!" he finished with a smirk
"Care to show me sometime 'Old Man'?" Jiraiya hit back
"I may be old but I could still kick your ass up and down the training ground if I wanted!" Sarutobi shouted
"Erm…. You guys are doing it again
"Dream on old man you know I could whoop your ass any day" Jiraiya stepped forward
"You know Jiraiya I think it's time I show you why I'm still the boss around here! Sarutobi said rolling up his sleeves
A tick mark appeared above Naruto's Head "Will you two ever give it a rest! Jesus this last month has made me feel like the old man with you two being the children!"
Jiraiya and Sarutobi laughed but both knew that Naruto had matured a lot in the past month he was like a different person more open, more confident in himself.
3 Months into Training
"Hey! Ero-sennin! I've finished it!" Naruto shouted
"You brat stop calling me that and there is no way you learnt the Rasengan:(Spiralling Sphere) in little over a week!" Jiraya yelled back
"Ero-sennin you should know by now that when I say I have something down I have it down!" Naruto retorted
"Yes Jiraya" Sarutobi said walking into the clearing "Our young apprentice has grown well in this past while in fact I was going to see what his element was today and show him the first stages to mas…..
He was cut off when Crow Shunshine'd into the area and whispered something into his ear his eyes bulged a little.
"Naruto, Jiraya come with me right away one of the ANBU who was on a solo mission was compromised he has some high-level Intel then he is being chased he is about 3 clicks from around current location I was thinking maybe we could use this opportunity for you to gain some battle experience Naruto!" He called out
Naruto's heart was pumping it was a mix between nervousness and excitement 'I'm I really ready to take another's life?' he thought 'I would be able to do it if someone was threating those close to me'
As the came into the clearing Naruto saw the dog faced leaf ANBU member Inu panting heavily and saw the enemy closing in for the kill something clicked in his head.
Flashback
"Hey you alright kid!" Inu shouted as he saw Naruto's battered form "Shit hold on I'll get you to the hospital!"
Flashback end
'Inu…'he thought
Flashback
Naruto closed his eyes as he saw the kunai move towards his neck he prepared for death.
"UGH!" Naruto opened his eyes the ANBU had saved him
"Touch him again and you die" Inu grunted the leant down "How about we go and get you cleaned up okay?
Flashback End
'Inu….. he always looked after me he… he…. One of the enemy ninja went in for the kill
Flashback
"They call me a Demon?" Naruto sighed as he spoke to Inu "Why?"
"I don't really know why Naruto I really don't, but hey you're no Demon your Naruto Uzumaki even if you are a little small….. your still my friend" The ANBU joked
"I've never had a friend before" Naruto whisper "Will you really be my friend?"
"Of course I'll be your friend I'll always look out for you Naruto" he said while ruffling his hair
Flashback End
'Inu he was my first friend, I can't let him die….. I can't….. I WON'T!'
"Die!" The Kiri Nin shouted
Kakashi closed his eyes he had no strength left and as the kunai made for his jugular he accepted death.
"UGH!"
Kakashi opened his eyes and couldn't believe his eye's "Na…..Naruto!"
"Impressive speed gaki never knew you could move that fast" Jiraiya said
Naruto didn't answer him instead he stared at the Kiri Nin "Touch him again and you die!" He snarled
"Stupid kid I'll…." It hit everyone there Naruto's killing intent
'The Nine-tails….. No its Naruto's own…. It's unreal' Sarutobi thought
"Just Die! Doton Doriyuudan: (Earth Dragon no Jutsu)"
"Aren't you going to step in?" Crow inquired
"No Naruto can handle it even if he can't I will step in when it is only apparent that his life is in danger" The Hokage replied
"Beside" Jiraya smirked "The Gaki can handle it"
"Crow be prepared to extract Inu should it become clear that Naruto cannot protect him and do combat at the same time" Sarutobi stated
"Understood Hokage-sama" Crow acknowledged
Naruto grabbed Inu and sprinted into the forest he could feel the earth dragon hot on his tail he checked his pouch he had only had smoke bombs and 2 kunai 'Damn what am I going to do I don't have any Jutsu that can take on something of that scale, I'll just have to dodge it…. Wait that's it' Naruto smirked "Hold on Inu this might get a little bumpy!"
"I fail to see how Naruto can possible get out of this situation if he doesn't have a Jutsu to neutralize that thing so I will move in and retrieve Inu" Crow stated
"Just wait Crow you will see give him a few more moments he is planning something" Order the Hokage
Itachi stopped the in his tracks "I to find it interesting that you have so much faith in Naruto tell me where does this come from?"
"When we are training and you think there is nothing more he could possible show you he pulls off something, he is highly unpredictable this is something that is very hard to come across in a Ninja as they are usually methodical about their work you yourself are case in point here"
"That and he has got one hell of a right hook for a 7 year old" Jiraya added
Naruto was still running 'Right' he thought 'the clearing here provides the best chance of this plan to work so here goes nothing!'
Naruto reached into his pouched and pulled out all 3 of his smoke bomb and fire them at the ground, as the smoke built up around the area he began his plot "Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu:( Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu)…. Henge no Jutsu:(Transformation Jutsu) he turned half his clones into Inu and had the other half pick the Inu's up "Scatter".
Out of the smoke came 20 Naruto's carrying 20 Inu's.
"I see what your trying to do brat clever trick but it's obvious that you are the real you is the one that is making towards your friends! Now Die!"
The Dragon made for Naruto who seemed to just let it come
"Crow get ready to move this looks bad" The Hokage yelled
"It is fine with my Sharingan It is easy to tell the difference between the real one and the fakes his plan I actually quite good, the enemy pick the wrong one" Itachi stated with a twinge of a laugh
"So it's fine then…" The Hokage was cut off when a loud explosion shook the clearing
BOOM!
"Hahahaha!" Jiraiya laughed "Sneaky little bastard he took out the dragon with a Bunshin Daibakuha:(Great Clone Explosion) so what now"
The rest of the enemy shinobi made their move they had to try it the enemies' commander and chief was standing right there so after the gather enough chakra to pull of the collaborative move the attacked "Die you Old Bastard! Suiton Daibakufu Goshokuzame:(Five Shark Feeding Frenzy Tidal Wave)!"
Itachi moved in front of the Hokage and placed his hand to the ground Uchiha Kaenjin:(Uchiha Flame Battle Encampment) the Suiton Jutsu hit against the barrier and steam went everywhere after Itachi was sure that the enemies Jutsu had dissipated he began to make hand signs for his counter-attack Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku:(Katon: Great Fire Annihilation) fire was everywhere the 5 enemies where quickly incinerated.
"You leaf bastard wait to I kill this brat then I'll deal with you!" the final Kiri Nin shouted
"Not likely you bastard take this Rasengan:(Spiralling Sphere)!" Naruto shouted
The Kiri Ninja was sent flying through a crowd of trees and landed straight into the edge of I large rock face causing one of the jagged rocks its get him right through the chest "Che! Taken….. out but a… God damn *cough* brat….." with those final words he took his last breath and died.
Naruto stared at him for the longest time 'I have just killed a man' he was sick physically he puked everywhere after a few short moments Jiraya decided to make his way over to him
"You did well Naruto" Jiraya said clasping him on the back "It's time for us to go back now Inu is still pretty banged up be he should be fine, be proud you saved his life!" Jiraya said with a reassuring smile.
5 months into Training
"The improvement is quite astonishing, wouldn't you agree Jiraiya?" The Hokage asked as he watched Naruto train.
"He has come further in the last two months than I could have imagined possible but I suppose that is the shadow clone training for you" Jiraiya sighed
"Even then you must admit that he has still progressed far to a level that I'm sure that has prepared him for what's to come" The aging man said "With Iwa breathing down our necks and Kiri in the midst of a civil war we need to stay alert for anything"
"The Sand has taken heavy causalities on the front against Iwa, but no is venturing into their borders because they have deployed their Jinchuuriki who has complete control over sand" Jiraiya commented
"It would be straight up suicide to send anyone in then." Sarutobi replied "It is times like this that I am glad they are allies…..but for how long I wonder"
"Stop worrying Old Man!" Jiraiya joked "Just sit back and enjoy the good times we still have."
"Naruto will be leaving us in 10 days to join up with the class and its birthday tomorrow I was thinking we should just gear him up with what he needs" Sarutobi replied "Did I do the right things Jiraiya?
"With Naruto? It's hard to say Old Man we all let Minato down if It makes you feel any better, however it is clear to me that his ninja training has changed him for the better" the toad hermit smiled at his sensei
"I suppose your right Jiraiya. Well I think that's enough for today, best go and get him geared up for his deployment"
"Naruto that's it for today, dispel your shadow clones and come on" Jiraiya yelled
"Okay Ero-Sennin!" Naruto grinned
10 Days Later
"Now as I was saying in times of war Genin are put into teams of 5 instead of 3 this is because there is not enough Jonin to go ro…" Iruka was cut off as the Hokage walked into the room with Naruto behind him.
"Yes Lord Hokage I trust this is the Genin I was informed about?" Iruka asked 'Naruto Uzumaki the container well he certain looks the part standard ANBU gear and katana… whoever gets him is in for a hand full he is well a Jinchuuriki after all'
"Yes this is Naruto, Naruto introduce yourself to everyone" Sarutobi suggested as he noticed the whole class was staring at them
"Fine Ji-Ji because it's you" he sighed "My name is Naruto Uzumaki, I have a variety of skills of which you will only learn if place in my squad, I have some likes and some dislikes that is all I wish to tell"
"Erm… Well" Iruka cleared "I will now give out the squad list for Team 1 through 21, you will then stand in the areas provided for each squad" he finished point to the numbered sections around the large room
Naruto stared at the piece of paper in his hand and his squad sheet
Squad 5: Jonin Sensei- Surizuki Tohin
Members: Naruto Uzumaki
"Iruka?"
"Yes, Naruto?" The older man asked
"Why am I on a team by myself?" Naruto questioned again
"Well Naruto because of your condition it was decided that you wher-"
Iruka was cut off by another voice "It was decide that you where to be placed in a team that would be assigned to the main force and well the only team for that was you and me, I'm Surizuki Tohin" The blue haired man spoke softly "And I hope that you don't die as fast as my last team!"
Naurto and Iruka stared at the man with a look of confusion and bafflement.
"Aw shit" Surizuki started again "Did I just say that out loud?"
Naruto sighed "This is going to be a long day… "
AN: This chapter is like a stop gap time filler if you will there where something's I had to re-write like the whole second half of the chapter I was going to bring you forward farther than I did but I decided it would be best to pace this thing this chapter is shorter than I hope but sure when we move onto the Missions and the Assault Arc I promise a lot more action. Also if you are wondering why there are so many Genin it is because during the times of War they are more than likely drafted so 100 Genin per graduation gives a lot more Cannon Fodder… excuse me I meant Soldiers.
God I really need to get a Beta! So until then if you see mistakes tell me :3
Thanks for reading and until next time Twisted out!
