Welcome Ladies and Germs! So I maybe adding Anko or Yugao to Naruto's girls, depends on how things work out. Ayame is going to be 2 years older than Naruto, and Naruto is in the year above the clan heirs at this point in time. Hope that clears some things up for you all. Now, ON WITH THE SHOW! He-hem, Mista Nala Quista! WRONG SHOW!
"What do you mean she is still alive!?" Naruto yelled. Hiruzen sighed. "She is in a coma, and has been since you were born." The Hokage explained. "How did that happen?" Naruto asked. "We think it has to be related to when the nine tailed fox was ripped from her." Hiruzen said. "She was like me?" Naruto asked. "Yes, she was the second jinchuriki, a person with a demon sealed in them, of the nine tails." The Hokage explained. "Is there anyway to wake her up?" Naruto asked. "If we had my student Tsunade here, we may have a chance. Be that as it may, she has not been here for years." Hiruzen said sadly. "What does she look like?" Naruto asked.
The Hokage rummaged through his desk before pulling out a picture. "This is her. Maybe you can find her when you leave." Hiruzen said optimistically. "If I find her I will talk to her." Naruto said. "Since I am leaving the leaf for a few years, can you release my true self?" Naruto asked. "Fine, I will, only so that you can get used to yourself. You will have to eat healthfully while you travel if you can to keep your body fit." Hiruzen said before moving over to Naruto. He made a few hand signs before putting his hand on Naruto's head. "Release!" He said before a bright light erupted from his palm. When Naruto could see again, the Hokage was a little less tall to Naruto. "Did it work?" He asked.
Hiruzen motioned towards a mirror on the wall. Indeed his sealed appearance had been released as Naruto looked like the body in his mind. "I don't look half bad." Naruto said. "Indeed. Oh yes, I have something for you Naruto." The Hokage said before pulling out a parcel. Naruto eyes sparkled at the offer of a present. "Ooh, a kunai holster! Thanks old man!" Naruto said as he hugged the Hokage. "How about I take you out for ramen before you go?" Hiruzen asked. "Sure thing Gramps!" Naruto said before rushing out the door. Hiruzen took down the seal before motioning for an anbu. "Get me everything on this list before we are done at Ichiraku's." The anbu nodded before jumping back into the shadows.
"Hi there Lord Hokage. What can I get for you today?" Teuchi asked. "I'll take a miso ramen please." Hiruzen said as he entered the small stand. "So Naruto, do you have any idea where you will go?" He asked the redhead. "Naruto!?" A young girl said. Everyone turned to the owner of the voice. "Ayame, it's rude to shout like that." Teuchi scolded his daughter. "Sorry papa, but I was just surprised that Naruto changed like that." Ayame said with a blush. "D-do you like the change?" Naruto asked. "Yeah, you look really handsome." Ayame said bashfully. Naruto was blushing now too.
"So, Lord Hokage, I expect a dowry upon the day of the wedding." Teuchi said. "WHAT!" Naruto and Ayame yelled. "Oh yes, someone of Ayame's standards definitely needs a high price. I'm sorry Naruto will be taking her away from you." Hiruzen said folding his hands together. Teuchi and Hiruzen has a ghost of a smile appear on their faces before Naruto said, "What are you talking about!? Ayame and I are way to young to be married." Naruto said. Ayame looked away, still red, but with a disappointed look that escaped Naruto.
"Of course you are Naruto, we were just pulling your leg." Hiruzen said with a smile. "Besides, who knows when you're going to be back." Hiruzen said sadly. "What do you mean when he will be back?" Ayame asked. "I'm leaving the leaf for a few years Ayame." Naruto said. Teuchi looked surprised, while Ayame started to tear up. "R-really?" She asked. "Don't worry Ayame, I'll be back before you know it." He reassured her. "You promise?" Ayame asked. "I promise, and I don't go back on my word." Naruto said. Ayame walked around and hugged him. Naruto stiffened upon the contact.
"So Naruto, where will you go once you leave?" Hiruzen asked. "I'll mainly stick to The Land of Fire. I might go elsewhere if they are allies or neutral towards us." Naruto said. Hiruzen nodded, satisfied with the redhead's answer. Suddenly an anbu appeared before the four and handed Hiruzen a bag and left. "Who was that Gramps?" Naruto asked as he ate his noodles. "I took the liberty of getting some things for you." He said before opening the bag.
"Inside here you will find everything you will need to survive in the wilds, learn how to lead a clan, and some techniques you will need to know for both yourself, and to become a genin." Hiruzen said before handing the bag to the redhead. "You didn't have to do that old man." Naruto said happily. "I know, but I would feel terrible if anything happened to you while you were out there." The Hokage said with a smile. "Are you about done?" He asked. "Yeah, I think I'm done." Naruto said before stand up from his chair. "Thanks for the meal Teuchi, I'll see you in a few years." Naruto said as he got up from his stool. "You better keep your promise." Ayame said teary eyed once again.
"Don't worry Ayame, by the time I'm back, it will seem like I had never left. And I will be much stronger too!" Naruto said cheerfully. Ayame gave him a sad smile before nodding. "I sure hope so Naruto. I'm putting a lot of faith in this little training trip of yours." Hiruzen said as they left. Teuchi sighed before looking over at his sad daughter. "Don't worry cupcake. Boys mature later than girls do. That means that by the time Naruto gets back, he should realize the bond between you two is really strong, and maybe he will ask you out." Teuchi said cheering up his daughter. "You really think so papa?" Ayame asked. "I know so sweetheart." Teuchi said with a smile.
"Alright Naruto. Be careful, don't talk to anyone that's a ninja besides those of the leaf or our allies. If the head band is crossed out avoid them at all costs." Hiruzen instructed the redhead. "Got it Grandpa." Naruto said with a foxy smile. "Make sure you read everything I got for you. It should really help you get stronger, in many ways." Hiruzen said. "Well, I'm off. I'll try to be back in time for my class's genin test. If not, I will definitely be back the year after!" Naruto said as he walked out the gate. "Be careful! And come back a strong ninja!" Hiruzen yelled. Naruto simply waved behind him.
Naruto walked for a solid two hours before he came to rest near a river. The sun was right above the tree line. "Crap, I didn't pack any water or food!" Naruto realized. "Maybe Gramps got me something to help me." Naruto said to himself as he opened the bag he got from the Hokage. The first thing he found was a map, detailing which countries were allied with the leaf, or were neutral. Next he came upon three scrolls, one having the kanji for ninja, one for clan, and one for survival. Finally at the bottom there was a note written in the Hokage's handwriting.
Naruto, I hope you were paying attention in your classes, as the only way to open the scrolls is with a bit of your blood and your chakra. Each scroll has everything you should need while you are away. I would recommend starting with the Survival and Ninja scrolls, and leave the Clan scrolls until your sufficient with the other two. I expect you to have a good understanding of being a ninja, and why you want to become one when you get back. Try not to develop any weird quirks while you are gone. Signed, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Third Hokage of Konohagakure.
P.s. this note has a seal, something you will be reading about, that will allow me to send a summon to you to check in to make sure everything is fine. So don't loose it!
"I'm glad that Gramps is looking out for me." Naruto said aloud. He then proceeded to unseal everything that was in the Survival scroll. Inside the scroll was a water skin, some rations, a few survival guides, a sleeping bag, a lighter, and a tent. "Alright, lets get camp set up for the night and lets do some training." Naruto said. It took the red head about an hour to set up his camp.
Naruto then proceeded to unseal the Ninja scroll. Inside this one was a few more scrolls and books. There was one labled taijutsu, ninjutsu, fuinjutsu, genjutsu, and chakra control. "Hm, chakra control sounds important." Naruto said grabbing that first. The scroll explained the basics of chakra, and how ninja utilize it to form jutsu. It then went on to explain a few beginner methods to lower how much chakra you use in your jutsu, other wise known as chakra control.
After a while of reading, Naruto decided that it was time to put theory into action and tried the first exercise on tge list, leaf holding. "So it says that i need to place a leaf on my forehead and have it stick there by focusing the correct amount of chakra to not let it slip or fly off." Naruto said aloud as he re-read the scroll. Naruto managed to hold it for about two seconds on his first try. "Hm, I must have lost concentration." He said before starting again. This time the leaf shot off his head into the forest above him. "Ah, too much." He said.
Naruto trained this way for another few hours before stopping to eat and read a bit before bed. Upon closing his eyes to sleep, Naruto awoke in his mind. "Welcome back." The fox said. "Why am I here fox?" Naruto asked. "Your here so that I can train you myself. Expect this to happen a few nights a week. As for tonight, we are going to figure out how to activate your bloodline." The Fox explained. "Why are you training me Fox?" Naruto asked. "Like I said, you are my container, and thus my proxy in the world. You can't be seen as week, or else I will be seen as week." The Fox said. "Very well then. Any idea how to activate my bloodline?" Naruto asked.
"The only thing I can think of is if I tell you what your mom and ancestors did." He explained. "The Uzumaki, aka your family, have a bloodline that is rare for them, known as the adamantine chains. Your family is also known for being masters at seals, and longer than average lives. Now, how your mother and her predecessor used the chains was by shooting them out from your body. What I did, was change two things. You can change what shape you want it to be, and that what ever you summon doesn't need to be connected to your body." The fox explained.
"So, maybe I should start with something I'm familiar with, and have it come out of my body. Then as I get better control, I form it outside my body." Naruto thought outloud. "Interesting idea, it's worth a shot." The fox said. Naruto was deep in thought for a time, thinking of what weapon was familiar to him before he pulled out a kunai. He studied it breifly, before he looked at his other hand and tried to shape his chakra to form a kunai. Slowly but surely a kunai made out of dark blue chakra started to take form. Before it was finished, Naruto lost concentration and fell to the floor, panting.
"Well, at least we know you can do it. I guess that is something we will need to work on. That and a few other things." The Nine Tails said. "What... else, pant, will you be teaching me?" Naruto asked. "Nothing else for now, your too weak. Keep learning from those scrolls the elder ape gave you. Once you mastered those I will begin training you in the fox style." The Fox said with a mischievous smirk. "Why do I not like the look of your face?" Naruto asked aloud. "Because its the same face you have when you get ready for a prank. Where else did you get it from but me?" The fox said. "This is gonna suck." The red head said. "But it will be worth it
Alright, chapter two is up and running. If anyone was wondering the scrolls were all beginners jutsu, like the henge and academy taijutsu. The sealing scroll goes up to intermediate. but after that you have to be a certain rank and be tested by a master to advance. I bid you all adieu.
