AN: Yo I'm back and to all you Sasuke haters don't worry he won't be back till next chapter. Now I know a lot of authors don't do this but I'm going to anyway. Unlike most authors I'm adding in the meeting with Konohamaru even though it seems like filler. Also for all those who hate the filler episodes more bad news I'm adding those to. But it all has a reason. All of my fillers will be used for character development and there will be some fillers left out. Also someone will be going to Orochimaru but I won't be telling you who.
Disclaimer: already did it so sue me if you want another.
And without further ado onto the story.
Chapter2: The One Forgotten
The next day Naruto thought of the previous days dream he had never had a dream like that not even during his last night's sleep. As soon as he'd gotten home he began meditating until he was finally able to contact the Kyubi.
/Flashback\\
Naruto finds himself in an area that looks oddly enough like a sewer with red and blue pipes. An area he specifically remembered visiting a few times in his dream. He followed the path that he could recall led to the Kyubi's cage in order to go and consult with the Kyubi.
"I've been expecting you kit."
"Kyubi tell me something. You're a demon who has been around for centuries maybe even millennia. What was that dream all about?"
"It was not entirely a dream. It was a vision of your entire future brought about by my power and triggered by something that occurred in said future and because of this trigger not being used again –since it did die- the vision will never occur again. So capitalize on the good fortune that you have seen these things and use this knowledge to your advantage."
"I will, but first you must promise to grant me your chakra anytime I call for it in order to protect Konoha or anyone else also I want you to tell me what triggered the vision."
"As far as my chakra goes I might as well, but I couldn't tell you what triggered your one vision if I wanted to since I don't even know what it was." Naruto's eyes nearly popped out of his head at this news. "What I know I have nine tails, but do I have nine heads now to or something."
"It's just I never expected for you to agree so whole heartedly I mean you did try to destroy Konoha didn't you."
"Well yeah. But what position did you think I had before that little incident? Huh. I was the guardian of the Land of Fire. Also there is the little fact the leader of Akatsuki, who put me under a genjutsu that forced the attack. You can't exactly hold me accountable for what I do under the influence it's not like you hold others accountable –at least not entirely –for what they do under the influence. Besides what am I gonna do with that chakra I might as well give it to you seeing as I really can't use it for myself -not I here anyway. Just to let you know the guy who forced me to do this was an enemy of Konoha long before he put me under a genjutsu that forced me to attack your village seeing as he is the guy who killed the Shodaime Hokage."
"Okaaaay."
"You have no idea who I'm talking about do you kit."
"Not a clue."
"Huh. Never mind kit. Just go train or something I'll give you my chakra.
"I'm on it!"
/End Flashback\\
Thus Naruto is found in the most feared training ground. Training ground 44 also known as the forest of death. Why did he come here? Because it has the biggest trees in the entire village and a river running through the center. All perfect for chakra control exercises. He immediately found the tallest tree in the forest so that he could begin the tree climbing exercise, but first he stopped to think, 'hm let's see I want to get this in an hour and it took me a week to get this done last time so time to figure out how many clones I need.' And with that he took out a kunai and began doing calculations in the dirt, as soon as he got the equations down he looked back and thought, 'Screw that! I'll just make a thousand clones and see where I go from there.' And he did just that.
55 minutes later, 'whew perfect mastery of tree climbing, but man am I beat thank the kamis I have this.' He thought as he pulled out a scroll that had a jutsu written on it. After a few minutes of reading he put the scroll away and called out "Biju Chakra Refill" and tapped into Kyubi's youki reserves in order to resupply his own –currently nonexistent –natural chakra reserves. He then created another thousand clones and began trying to water walk.
Less than 10 minutes later he could walk on water with relative ease even when he wasn't paying attention to the water itself. "Well that took less time than expected. Now what to do next? I guess a good idea would be to get my rasengan back, but first I need better focus, control, and efficiency if I really want to make it useful. Hm and I think I know just how to do it, but first…"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To the Hyuga compound xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hinata had just woken up and was currently heading to the Hyuga training ground in order to begin her relaxing morning katas. She had just left her room when all of the sudden a very familiar face appeared dropping down from the ceiling and standing inches from her face.
"Good morning Hinata-chan!" Naruto shouted excitedly and… she was out like a light, "Damn it. Oh well I guess I'll just have to wait till she wakes up."
/1 hour later\\
Hinata woke up to see, the person she had fallen in love with a few years ago –Naruto Uzumaki –fighting off a good dozen or so cadet branch Hyuga guards men in a taijutsu only battle and he was holding his own –even though every couple of minutes he would stop, grab his head, wobble a little, and get back to the fight as if nothing had happened, or he might stop, make a handseal, and then he'd go back to fighting again.
"You seriously think you can beat us our taijutsu is the most powerful in the entire village as is our bloodline. Your control of chakra is too pitiful for genjutsu and even if you could use it the technique would obviously of too poor quality to not be seen through by these eyes. And your ninjutsu "Ha" that's a laugh you make seals, but they do nothing pitiful."
Naruto just bust out laughing before commenting, "You guys seriously need to hop off your high horse for a second and think. Your bloodline is easily beaten by a couple of different things that I could do. Your taijutsu may be good but mine is specifically made to fight against multiple opponents by fighting against multiple opponents. That is my taijutsu style's specialty and yet that is what you are setting me up against and hoping that you in fact maintain the advantage. Second, if you wanted me to use genjutsu you could have just asked I've been working on a few that are so traumatizing I doubt there are many people alive capable of facing them and not breaking down –and I don't mean seeing the Sandaime naked in the shower kind of traumatizing I mean the staring Kyubi in the face and not trying to piss your pants kind of traumatizing. Finally, whoever said my ninjutsu was targeting you? I've only been creating clones outside the wall and sending them to the training ground that I am currently using."
"What have you done to lady Hinata demon!" spoke another very foolish Hyuga guardsmen.
"What! She just fainted. It you'd pay a little bit more attention to her rather than to me you'd have realized a couple of minutes ago that she is currently wide awake and back on her feet good as knew." Naruto responded rather annoyed at the stupidity and rudeness coming from this particular guardsman.
"Liar! Just shut the hell up and quit feeding us you demonic lies they won't work on us we're too smart for them."
"This coming from an idiot breaking the law by calling me a demon. I don't see why I should get penalized for telling the truth. Ah oh well."
"I've had enough of your lies demon!" the same guardsman called going in for another attempted strike at his heart.
"STOP!" Hinata shouted tired of the whole incident. This occurrence stunned everyone to the point that they all froze in the exact position they were in as she shouted at them. "You are to bring this conflict to an end immediately and return to your posts at once." She ordered in the most assertive way possible even though her voice had dropped back down to its usual meek self.
"But Hinata-sama –"
"NOW!"
"Yes Hinata-sama and what about the demon."
"I will take care of my guest and as long as he is such you are not to speak to him or of him so disrespectfully."
"As you wish Hinata-sama." The guardsmen said as they bowed to her and departed.
"So what's with the change in personality all of the sudden?" Naruto asked walking up behind her.
"eep." Was all that came out as she was nearly scared to death by him sneaking up behind her.
"You're not usually this loud or this assertive."
When Hinata finally calmed down enough to speak she replied, "They needed to understand that you were my guest and were not to be treated so rudely, and I had too make it known over the sounds of your fight which reminds me I w-was i-im-impressed h-how you f-fought against th-them I've never seen a non Hyuga do so w-well against the juken style." She replied meekly giving a half-truth for the explanation and stuttering as she complimented him as well as beginning to blush. (This is a special author's note bulletin: Listen the only time I will ever have Hinata stutter is when she is trying to compliment someone because I've never heard her stutter as far as the anime goes or at least it's rare in the anime. Beyond that I apologize for the oocness of Hinata it's just that often times it feels like if I don't make her at least a little ooc then the story will never move –such as if she hadn't intervened I would have been stuck in that Hinata watching a fight scene for I have no idea how long –or in this next case it wouldn't flow the way I wanted if I didn't make at least a little ooc so again I apologize for ooc Hinata and also for this extended mid chapter authors note but if I didn't get it out now it may have never gotten out now back to your regularly scheduled story.)
"Ah I see and thanks for the compliment. No matter I came here to ask you a favor Hinata-chan." He stated unconsciously adding the suffix because his familiarity from the vision making her entire face burn a deep red.
"What would you like to ask me Naruto-kun?" she inquired blushing further at her own use of the suffix she chose.
He smiled at the thought coming to mind at the sight of her blush, 'Ya know she always did look kinda cute when she'd blush like that.' as soon as he got over that thought he answered her question, "I was wondering if you could use your byakugan to tell me where all the tenketsu on my body are?"
Hinata looked at him strangely confused by the request and replied nonetheless saying, "I'm sure I could, but may I ask why you want to know?"
"Well you see I'm planning on starting a training exercise for an extremely advanced jutsu that's difficult to master even in its incomplete form. In order to prepare for that jutsu I'm planning on using a modified version of a basic chakra exercise in order to increase my focus, control, and efficiency. I want to modify it by using large numbers of tenketsu instead of just one or two like the original exercise dictates."
"And said original exercise would be?"
"The leaf spinning exercise."
"Alright, alright, sooooo… when and where did you learn all this. You're not exactly acting much like you usually do."
"Well you'd be surprised what information you can hear from drunks, careless perverts, and occasionally listening to one of Iruka-sensei's lessons." 'I also heavily blame stupid foxes and mega pervy sages.'
"Ano if you say so."
"Well you could just mark them on my clothes and if that became too difficult, impossible, or just too much invasion of personnel space or private areas. So here is the chart you might need and if you could just make the necessary marks then I'll be out of your hair and can stop bullshitting you on information that is supposed to describe my level of skill."
"You mean you were lying to me?" Hinata whispered disappointedly.
"Only a little bit what I'm not allowed to have at least a little bragging time." He whined walking away and pouting in a corner. Hinata couldn't help but think he looked cute acting so childish and as such couldn't suppress the giggle that came up. She handed him the chart after she finished marking on it and he left. This left her very disappointed but she had to meet her father and he probably had some training to do anyway so she let it go.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Back to training xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
/Two Days Later\\
A bush was found running up and down the river that runs through the forest of death as other bushes attacked it by throwing kunai and shuriken at it. Said bush was in all actuality our favorite hyper-active knuckleheaded ninja Naruto Uzumaki.
"Man you got to see how stupid you look right now it is priceless." Spoke the Kyubi as he laughed his nine tailed ass off. The Kyubi's ability to communicate with Naruto was in Naruto's opinion a negative side-effect of the Biju Chakra Refill jutsu. "I mean seriously attacking a defenseless ninja village- one immortal illusionist. Being sealed into a targeted and defenseless infant- one dead Hokage and a Shinigami. Watching said infant turned idiot run around a forest dressed as a bush running away from an army of bushes- priceless." (Seriously think about it a bush running away from other bushes which happen to be throwing kunai and shuriken at the first one. Imagine that and tell me it doesn't look the least bit funny or at least weird. I'd be laughing my ass off and making jokes to if I was in Kyubi's paws (and I say this because he doesn't wear shows. Does he?))
"Stupid Fox SHUT THE HELL UP!" Naruto yelled as he just barely dodged a kunai aimed at what is believed to be his head.
"I was the king of hell once."
"Shut up!"
"Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Clamentine…" Kyubi started singing.
Naruto –realizing that there was no chance in hell, which Kyubi apparently ruled over at some time, that Kyubi would ever shut up –began ignoring him so that he could focus better on his training which focused on chakra control, efficiency, and focus as well as kunai and shuriken accuracy, stealth, evasion, and taijutsu all at once. Currently there were only ten clones left out of the three thousand clones he had originally created for this exercise.
Two kunai were launched at him. He dodged one and caught the other one which he attached a paper bomb to and through it in the direction the other had come from thankfully destroying that clone in the blast of the explosive and flushing out four others heading towards the river in different directions. 'Interesting they teamed up against me and now they're planning on distracting me with a taijutsu battle while a sniper in the trees finishes the job.' Naruto thought to himself. As the first clone reached him so did the first kunai and shuriken launched by the snipers, 'stoopid' he thought as he dodged them and they instead struck the clone that was about to attack him and it dispelled as the two projectiles released the henge around them and revealed two more clones and the remaining -now five-taijutsu clones arranged themselves in a pentagonal shaped formation which then collapsed on him as the clones charged and the shuriken and kunai barrages began flying yet again.
He ducked under one clone and used it as a shield in order to avoid the projectile attack and dispel the clone at the same time. He then through the clone that was to his front left at the clone that was too the right side behind him taking both clones out at the same time. That ended up leaving him with two taijutsu clones and three sniper clones that he had to deal with.
Realizing this the snipers stopped attacking so no more clones would be caught in the crossfire and the taijutsu clones stepped back to reposition themselves so that there was one clone directly in front of him and one directly behind him each one drawing their own kunai and charging him. He quickly ducked under the front kunai which effectively beheaded the other clone he then used the kunai that was just about to be dispelled with no head to stab the clone in front of him through the heart. 'Itai. Talk about heart pain. Dang this is painful once the memories get back to me.'
As soon as the smoke cleared a lone shuriken came flying at Naruto. He quickly pulled out one of his own kunai and deflected it. It then dispelled a henge on itself to reveal another clone which immediately let loose a barrage of shuriken and kunai. Naruto dodged all but the last of these which he intercepted in order to return it to its sender.
Once that clone was dispersed a hail of shuriken followed, but all of these were either dodged, blocked, or weren't on a good enough course to get in the way to begin with and completely missed him. Naruto was disappointed at the clone lack of accuracy because that demonstrated his accuracy, but he didn't get to remain disappointed for long because not a second later he heard an explosion and a thought from a dispelled clone reached him 'Uzumaki Chronicles Chapter 4: shinen no shuriken bakuha.' 'Oh Crap!' he immediately charged his feet with an explosive amount of chakra sending him high into the air and away from all of the pressurized water blasts as well as the explosions leaving him with only one clone left to fight.
He knew it was a sniper so he took out six shuriken, a kunai, and some ninja wire. He then used the information he had received from the dispelled clones to prepare an attack that would surround and eliminate the last remaining clone. He simply needed the sniper to attack –and it was extremely likely that he would attack soon seeing as Naruto was currently suspended in midair. He quickly fixed that weakness by dropping a kunai, which was attached to some wire which he had tied to his finger, he then used his chakra to guide and embed the kunai in the ground. Within seconds another wave of kunai came flying at him. He swiftly pulled on the ninja wire to redirect his course out of the way of the assault and let loose his own shuriken surrounding and ultimately eliminating the clone with accuracy that was based on the trajectory of the last projectiles launched at him. He did all of this while maintaining full control of every single leaf on his body and each one of them covered one of his tenketsu.
'What to do now. I mean I've already finished my chakra training?'
"How about the jutsu you were doing this training for?"
'Huh.'
"You know. The Rasengan."
'…'
"Give it a second it'll come to him eventually." Kyubi said while bringing his paw up to his eyes in Naruto's mindscape as if he was checking a watch.
'RASENGAN! I almost forgot.'
"You did forget kit."
'Did you say something?'
"Nope nothing at all I'm not even here."
'I have to visit the Hokage.'
"Huh??"
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Hokage's Tower xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Oi jii-san!"
"Ohayo Naruto-kun what can I do for you this fine day?"
"Could you by any chance get me thousands of water balloons at least 10,000 and an equal number of rubber balls and regular balloons please?"
"Why do you want them and why are you unable to get them yourself?" The old man was suspicious for numerous reasons mostly fearing one of Naruto's infamous pranks but also vaguely remembering his father getting a similar number of balloons at one time and not three years later he had become feared on the battlegrounds for developing the rasengan.
Noticing the Hokage's worry he decided to at least try and calm him down "Well I've kinda been band from my favorite prank shop which does in fact sell water balloons because they're trying to lie low a little bit so they won't be punished for supplying me with my materials for pranking ever since the Hokage Monument incident. As for why I need them it's just for training purposes. I recently found a jutsu that looks kinda cool and I'd like to learn it, but the training method requires a lot of balloons."
This only seemed to make him worry more and in a grave tone he remarked, "Be warned even with your stamina a recuperation techniques your body still needs its natural rest and nourishment and working yourself as deep in the ground as your doing can still kill even you. Also if your talking about the jutsu that I think you are talking about then you need to be very careful the training itself needed to master that jutsu is more difficult than even some of the most skilled jounin can handle let alone controlling then jutsu itself be very careful with it especially if you in up capable of using the jutsu."
"Don't worry jii-san I know what I'm doing." He replied in an equally serious voice.
"Very well Naruto I will do as you have asked." 'I just hope that you do indeed know what you are doing.'
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Forest of Death xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
5,000 Naruto clones were each holding a water balloon and concentrating as hard as they could on said balloons trying to make them pop. To anybody passing by –such as the now hysterical Anko who was currently rolling on the ground laughing her ass off- it would almost look like he was trying to take a shit after being highly constipated for a months. Kyubi himself was laughing his nine-tailed ass off yet again but more over he was hoping that Kakashi would swing by in order to give Naruto an early Sennin Goroshi in his currently compromising position. Sadly, at least in Kyubi's opinion, that did not happen.
1 minute later- Anko still rolling on the ground laughing and Kakashi no where near the forest because of Anko- one of the water balloons popped.
"What the Hail it's only been a minute and already the damn thing popped." Naruto said in his best fake black accent. (Which I expect wasn't very good.)
"Don't you dare be trying to talk black."
"Shut the fuck up you damn fox."
"I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind, I left my body lying somewhere in the sands of time." Kyubi began singing.
"No one wants to hear your life story Kyubi and besides don't you mean in the leaves of time not the sands of time." And that was Naruto's sad attempt at a comeback/ joke.
"I watched the world go to the dark side of the moon. I feel there's nothing I can do. Yeah."
"Don't you mean the red side of the dawn –never mind." Naruto became tired of making bad jokes about that song being used to compare kyubi's life, and just got back to the second part of his rasengan training. Three minutes later his rasengan training was finished and he could create a perfect rasengan without the use of any clones, so he decided to spend the next few days working on his chakra, taijutsu, clones, rasengan, and his genjutsu.
/95 hours later- a.k.a. 4 days later\\
Naruto had been training nonstop for the past 4 days straight using his restoration jutsu and he had become a little bored with the constant routine and besides he could currently create an oodama rasengan with one hand in under 5 seconds. And that was just a fraction of the results from his training. He still needed to pick up his shinobi license so he decided to do that today. 'How do I want to take my picture this time around? I don't have the time for the face paint this time and it's not really my style anymore. I know!'
So he went, got his picture and took it to the Hokage, and just as last time- "Take it again."
"What!"
"You heard me take it again."
"Why it doesn't look that bad personally I think I was rather photogenic for that picture."
"There are many negative repercussions that could occur because you took a picture looking like the Kyubi no Kitsune." The Hokage countered holding up a picture of Naruto under a transformation showing what he looked like with the Kyubi cloak active with nine tails active, all nine of which were pointing at the camera. 'How you got the photographer to actually take that picture without shitting himself I must find.'
"But that's the point. If someone were to see something like that on my file don't you think they'd immediately believe that they've got the strongest ninja they can get? I mean if a ninja can imitate the Kyubi so well they must be strong."
"Take it again." The Hokage reiterated more sternly.
"Fine if you won't cave then you have forced my hand. I guess I'll just have to do this. Oiroke no jutsu!" There was a poof of smoke and when it cleared standing there was a 20-year old female version of Naruto with perfect "assets" ,if you know what I mean, covered in smoke. One look and Sarutobi was out cold.
As he came too Naruto dispelled his jutsu, "So is it official."
"Here you go." The Hokage said handing him his official Ninja License, not wanting to lose anymore blood to that jutsu.
Just then a cry of "Your mine!" was heard as the doors flew open and a kid –wearing khaki shorts, a yellow shirt, a blue scarf, brown spiky short hair, a purple helmet-looking-hat , and carrying a shuriken –came charging in the room. He got three feet before he tripped over his blue scarf. "Who tripped me?" he asked getting back to his feet and looking around before he found Naruto, "You, you were the one who tripped me!"
"How could I be the one who tripped when t only just moved from my seat and otherwise I'm way over here?" Naruto asked calmly as he rose from his seat and walked over to Konohamaru and lifted him up by his collar.
"How dare you lay a hand on the honorable grandson, Demon let go of him."
"I bet you'll think twice about hurting me now that you know that the Hokage is my grandfather."
"Huh I wouldn't care if the Hokage was your grandmother." Naruto said as he delivered a massive punch to Konohamaru's head smashing him into the ground.
"How dare you!"
"Shove it closet perve!" Naruto said flipping him the bird.
"Ebisu please take Konohamaru back to training for now, I need to speak with Naruto about something private at the moment."
"Yes Hokage-sama!" Ebisu grumbled irritably tossing a quick and furious glare at Naruto before he finally left the room ushering Konohamaru out with him.
After they left he turned he turned back to Naruto and warned him, "Naruto you need to start eating and sleeping for real again and soon."
"What! But jii-san come on it's been helping my training immensely!"
"There's a reason those techniques are forbidden. People become reliant on those jutsu but you must they will never be as effective as real sleep and nourishment. Also speaking of your training. You'll never get anywhere if all you do is fight yourself the entire time. Sure you can find your mistakes more easily and improve on them but it would be a good idea to try and find sparring partners to compare yourself against and fight someone who's fighting style doesn't come to your knowledge as if it were second nature. Your current path should only offer the slightest of improvements. And you need a hobby because I'm expecting that now you are ninja you will stop pranking everybody so you'll need something besides training to occupy your time and don't want you to be training your life away and working yourself to death even adults find time to have some fun and you are now considered an adult. Also if you find the right hobby you nay find it easier to get a date and Kami knows you need help with that."
"Alright old man I'll think about all of that, but while you're giving me all of this advice you should think about training again maybe sparring with some of your top jounin and ANBU such as Kakashi, Gai-sensei, and Tenzou-taichou also try and come up with some new jutsu or something. Can't have our Hokage die because he was inadequate against an opponent of greater ability. Also I was wondering if I could borrow Tenzou-taichou from the ANBU for a little while in order to help me with my training since he's the only one in the entire village who can possibly offer the needed help."
This stunned the Hokage immensely since no one should know the names of any of his ANBU let alone one of his captains and so he was reserved to nodding dumbly in his stupor. "Well see you later jii-san!" Naruto called behind him as he jumped out of the open window.
Naruto then found himself wandering the streets of Konoha thinking about what the Hokage said, 'He has a point, if I spar against myself I know nothing of what I would do against someone else but if I spar against someone else I prepare myself for the real deal plus we might end up teaching each other techniques and if I choose the right ones then I might be able to better prepare some of my friends for the future. Let's see out of the Konoha Twelve who can I ask for assistance from. Sasuke is too much of a loner and even if he wasn't he'd be too busy brooding to be an effective sparring partner as well as he'd be too egotistical and arrogant to even accept an offer of help from me and all of his techniques are secret clan jutsu that he would be too reserved to keeping a secret to allow me to learn. Shikamaru's too lazy all though I might be able to trick him into practicing strategy with him and possibly teach him a couple of jutsu but first I'll have to learn a couple that he can learn with his lower chakra reserves. Neji will more than likely still have stick up his ass so there's no hope there. Shino's too busy with his clan to train with me and more than likely he wouldn't even need my help. Sakura and Ino would be too busy obsessing over, stalking, and attempting to rape Sasuke. Same with Tenten only more towards Neji than Sasuke and I have no idea how I'd even approach Tenten anyway. Hinata seems to be ready to help me so she should be first. Besides I don't want her to die like last time and her juken and Byakugan would be a big help.'
"Not too mention she'll be attracted to you like the other girls would be to that bastard if he asked for their assistance." Kyubi perversely remarked.
Naruto ignored the Kyubi and continued on his current thought path, 'Alright now for the rest of the twelve. Sai too busy in ANBU ROOT and still needs his emotions to return if before he can even be reconsidered as one of the Leaf Twelve in order to bring it up to the Leaf Thirteen. Kiba is still more than likely a punk who thinks he runs things and I'll need to correct that soon but now isn't the time. Lee will probably be busy with Gai-sensei, but I'm sure I can convince to at least try to find some time to help –and he'd be a huge help not just for me but for Hinata, with his knowledge of the juken from constantly fighting Neji as well as his mastery of taijutsu would be a great help for whoever else joins us –plus between his desire to improve and Gai-sensei more than likely training with the Hokage every once in a while he'd be more stoked to find said time. Also through this training I may be able to prepare Lee for a lot such as his fight with Gaara and his fight against that bone dude, but hopefully the future won't come to that. That leaves Chouji I'm sure he'd be happy to help and would love to improve so that he could be better prepared to protect Ino and Shikamaru. I could get him to become stronger and faster by putting him up against Lee and getting Lee to train him a little bit. I could also probably push him to the point of being capable of eating all three Akimichi food pills and surviving without the need for medical attention but again I don't plan on letting them get into a situation that's so dangerous that things come down to that.'
So with the training plan made he created a clone to round up the chosen friends and lead them to the forest of death and as quickly as they were summoned they were off to partake in there given task.
As soon as the clones were gone he felt the familiar chakra signature of Konohamaru and created a clone to look after him while he snuck off to train with his –now officially due to having everyone's consent –new training group.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx at dusk with the clone and Konohamaru xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Konohamaru had just finished learning the Oiroke no jutsu as per request. It wasn't perfect but it was at least useable. He was at least able to transform into a naked woman that was at least moderately attractive and in her late teens –like 18 or 19.
He was currently enjoying a bento with Naruto's clone that had been prepared surprisingly enough by the clone itself as the clone wrapped up the days training with a lecture of sorts.
"Now Konohamaru I want you to use this jutsu wisely some people may never be affected by it, others have become so perverted that at this low level it would be useless against them, and others still have become so used to this jutsu that it won't work against them. Now your grandfather has not yet reached any of these categories but it probably won't be too long until he hits one so use it against him sparingly- another reason for this being we don't want him to have a heart attack because of this jutsu. Also the jutsu often lives the user vulnerable and in a compromising position after its use so if it fails you're completely screwed. And as with any good jutsu you must not only train to better your use of it but you must also train to make better versions of this jutsu as well no matter what you must do to further this jutsu you need to make it better."
"Hai bunta!" Konohamaru replied
"There are a couple of other jutsu that I'd like to teach you that are really kick ass."
"Are you serious bunta?"
"Yes, but unfortunately you're not ready for any of them."
"Aw come on bunta I'll try extra hard I promise." Konohamaru whined.
"I know you will which is why I will begin teaching you the preparation exercises beginning with the leaf spinning exercise." The clone then explained the exercise.
"Now remember to do that at the end of every day until you run out of chakra and then come back to me when you can do that without thinking and I'll explain the follow up step. You got that?"
"Hai Naruto Bunta!" Konohamaru cheered as he began to try leaf spinning.
No more than a minute later Ebisu appeared. "Your corruption is over demon. I'll be taking the honorable grandson back now so that we can get him on the fast track to becoming the next Hokage and possibly undo all the filth you must have placed in his mind."
"No I want to stay here with Naruto-niisan. Oiroke no jutsu!" Konohamaru shouted performing his new jutsu. Of course the mild transformation had little to no effect on the closet pervert Ebisu.
"How untactful!" as he said this he noticed Naruto performing handsigns. 'I wonder what he's planning…' "There's no point in performing a substitution jutsu since I'm not attacking… yet."
"Kawarimi!" 'It's a good thing we just finished the training for the day.' Naruto thought as he came out of the replacement.
"Pitiful you can't even perform a simple Kawarimi."
"Just because it looks like the jutsu failed doesn't mean it failed. In fact I had used the jutsu to replace the clone that had been instructing Konohamaru all day with the real me."
"I don't believe you!"
"Well it doesn't matter if you believe me or not because I'm still going to kick your ass either way. Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
"I heard you could use this jutsu but be fore warned I'm not like Mizuki, I'm one of the elite this pitiful trick is useless against me." Ebisu said as he walked into the middle of the 50 or so clones.
"I hate bastards like you who look down on other people and judge them based on things that are out of their control. I have no idea how guys like you ever became chunin let alone jounin."
"I'll show you how as I defeat you!" Ebisu called out as he pulled out two kunai and charged at the nearest clone.
"Please like I'd actually let you do that. Henge!" and before Ebisu knew it he was surrounded by hot, nude, blond women and he was out like a light. As Naruto deactivated the jutsu he turned to Konohamaru and said, "Now how'd you like that? I call it the Harem no jutsu."
"Bunta I've decided I'm not going to be your follower anymore."
"Huh."
"From now on we're rivals and you're going to have to beat me if you want to become the Hokage."
"Fine by me just remember what I said there are no shortcuts to becoming the Hokage you have to train extra hard everyday and do it so you can protect this village not just for the recognition of being the Hokage." Naruto said as he walked off.
"Osso!" Konohamaru said saluting to Naruto's back as he walked off and waved over his shoulder.

AN: I know this took forever to get out put at least I kinda made up for it by making this update about three times longer than the last. In all reality I've been kinda busy and that has made me too lazy to type this chapter up from what I have written on the rough draft. Don't worry I'm hoping that this will be an infrequent occurrence it's just I had summer camp for an entire week two weeks ago and it lasted a week in which I had to lead an entire troop of 38 boy scouts 24/7 for a whole week with next to no help and still keep all of the adults satisfied with how I did. It was mentally exhausting. Thank god the SPL is coming back I don't know how much longer I can hold out in his place. Also football practice or should I say hell is really picking up so now I'm physically exhausted to high school sucks especially when it's vacation time at least for me. Oh well! Sorry about that little rant but I love my excuses that make me feel more comfortable.
Anyway I know most authors don't dive into the meeting Konohamaru episode but I always feel it is necessary and it helped to use it as a transition chapter. Don't worry we'll get to the good stuff next chapter when Sasuke and Naruto meet up
This chapter's title was inspired by the song The Ones Forgotten by Simple Plan.
The poll from the previous chapter will continue to be open for the next few chapters so in other words the next couple of months most likely.
Well that is all I can think of to say so please review and if you like the story advertise it to other authors and readers I know I said I wouldn't become obsessed with reviews but it seems they are extremely addictive because once I got a few I couldn't get enough.
I believe that is all so until next chapter Ja!
