CHAPTER 2: LEARNING THE FOX STYLE
Sasuke and Sakura met up with Kakashi at the west gate. Team 10 and team 8 also came to look for Naruto.
"The villagers say he went this way and around 12 pm. So we should be able to catch up with him if we speed up." Kakashi said.
With that they left to search for him.
Naruto was walking for hours now and was very tired.
"Hey kyuubi, do you know any interesting jutsu you could teach me." Naruto asked.
"Ha-ha I know a Lot of Jutsu I Can Teach You Kit" the kyuubi replied
. "So you will teach me right" Naruto asked hopefully.
"Yes I Will But for That You Will Have to Learn the Fox Style or The Way of the Fox...Since I'm a Fox I can only teach you Fox Ninjutsu, Genjutsu and Taijutsu." Kyuubi said
"Hmm...What is the fox style" Naruto asked very much confused.
"The Fox Style is where you become a fox" kyuubi replied
At which Naruto screamed "EEEHHHH! I WILL BECOME A FOX!"
"NO Kit You Will Fight like a Fox and use your head, Your Appearance will not change much just your eyes will be slit and whiskers will be darker" kyuubi explained
"Oh! Thank God...so when can I learn it." Naruto was now excited.
"You will learn but I have to teach you how to control your chakra." kyuubi told him.
"Booooooring" Naruto stuck his tongue out.
"Come close kit I want to give you something"
Naruto cocked his head but listened
"This may hurt a little" saying that the kyuubi touched Naruto's head
"Wait... what hurt a lit...AAAAGGGGGG!" Naruto screamed.
The pain was slowly fading away. When it faded Naruto fell down to his knees and gasped for breath.
"(huff puff) what the (huff) hell (huff) was that" Naruto said while still trying to get air.
"Look at your hand kit" kyuubi said
And Naruto listened there he saw kanji for fox written on his deltoid muscle.
"Whoa! What is that?" he asked.
"The proof that you are a fox ninja. Now you just have to buy a blank forehead protector and put a fox symbol on it...ha-ha, Up ahead there is a river we will start your training there" kyuubi said.
"ALLRIGHT!" Naruto jumped for joy and kyuubi smiled but his smile didn't last long
"Kit there are some ninja's following you, eleven to be exact and from Konoha." Kyuubi warned him
"What! What the hell do these people want with me...hey kyuubi help me please" Naruto begged.
The kyuubi sighed "Listen kit if I keep helping you like this you will grow weak so this is the last time now create three clones and send them in the away from each other. You accumulate chakra at your leg and start running." Naruto did as told and dashed off.
Team 7, team 8 and team 10were heading towards the east. Sakura looked worried as well as Hinata.
"Don't worry we will find him" Ino comforted them both.
They were going for an hour but still did not find him. Kakashi could see that most of the Genins were tired.
"Let's stop for a break" Kakashi proposed
"Good idea Kakashi, most of us are tired a break will be good" Asuma supported the proposal and Kurenai nodded in agreement.
Sakura was about to complain but was stopped by Sasuke. They all nodded and took a break. Sasuke and Sakura were sitting together and all of a sudden Sakura said
"It's my fault that Naruto left the village, I said horrible things to him and now he left the village" Tears started to fall from her eyes
"I said he was a monster and an orphan" Sakura started crying now.
Everyone heard what Sakura was telling Sasuke, Ino came over and tried to comfort her. Everyone sighed. 'She is taking the blame to herself (sigh) this will be bad if we don't find him fast' Kakashi thought. After an hour they started their search again. They have been travelling for hours and still no sign of him. Kiba was getting annoyed and he suddenly shouted
"OI NARUTO, COME OUT."
This was a bad idea for him because he met with Sakura's fist straight on his face.
"You idiot, this will warn him we are coming for him." Sakura said holding up her fist.
The others sweet dropped
"I think he already knows we are coming for him" Kakashi said.
"WHAT! HOW!" Sakura screamed
"Look here, he made clones and made it go away from each other" Kakashi said.
"Naruto can't make clones, and the clones must stay close to the user." Sasuke said.
"But this is not just a simple clone jutsu, I guess he used shadow clone jutsu." Kakashi sighed knowing this is going to be troublesome.
"Shadow Clone jutsu, isn't it a S rank jutsu?" Kurenai asked and Kakashi nodded.
"So you're telling me Naruto can do an S rank mission. Man this is going to be troublesome" Shikamaru sighed.
"Now what do we do?" Choji asked.
"We'll split up. Team 8 will go east, Team 10 go west, any question?" Kakashi explained,
"Umm...wh...Who will g...go to the nor...North-east di...Direc...tion" Hinata asked nervously.
"Don't worry Hinata I'll send my tracking dogs" Kakashi said with his smiling eyes.
With that they all left. Kakashi made some hand seals and said "Kuchiyose no Jutsu! (Summoning jutsu) "and from the cloud of smoke eight tracking hounds wearing a Konoha forehead protector.
"Yo...Kakashi, what'd ya call us for." One dog said who was sitting on another dog's head.
"Hey Pakkun, I want you guys to go north-east and search for Naruto." Kakashi said
"Hmm...You know I don't know the boy's description." Pakkun said.
"Oh Yes, Sorry about that, a blond boy with three whiskers on each side of his cheeks." Kakashi described the boy and with that the tracking hound set off.
"Ok, now it's our turn to set off...Lets go you guys." Kakashi ordered. The team nodded and set off.
"Ok Kit we reached our place to train, on the other side of the statues there is a cave we will start by meditating there." Kyuubi told him.
"EEHh! Meditating? Why" Naruto frowned
"Because for fox style you need to gather nature's chakra and fox chakra and mix it with your chakra. But know nature's chakra is dangerous if used recklessly, you can die. Remember that."
Naruto gulped nervously and went to the other side and found a cave there. He entered the cave and at the end of the cave he found a stone slab in a middle of a small pond. He walked over there and was going to cross the water but was stopped by Kyuubi.
"Wait kit, before meditating you need to learn water walking" kyuubi said.
"Ok...so how do I do it." Naruto asked
"Just gather some chakra at your feet and with precise control you should be able to do it." Kyuubi explained to him.
Naruto did as he was told but walking on water is not easy, he took a few steps and fell. When he fell Kyuubi laughed at him. Naruto muttered something under his breath about Kyuubi, he tried again and failed again. He failed again and again and kyuubi was tired of seeing him fail again and again so he spoke at last
"Kit walk slowly, take a step and stop, until you get the hang of it keep doing it like that." Kyuubi gave him tips.
Again Naruto did as he was told and this time he was doing well and getting the hang of it.
"Well-done kit keep doing like that." Kyuubi said with a smile and Naruto grinned.
While Naruto was training the search party were having a tough time finding Naruto. Team 10 were going west they found foot prints of Naruto. They followed the foot prints and went Far East but as they went on ahead the footprints suddenly disappeared.
"What the hell!" Ino shouted seeing the footprints disappear.
"How troublesome...maybe he is hiding somewhere out here" Shikamaru exclaimed.
"Yeah, I guess you are right, Find him if you find anything call us since this is your first mission do not engage in a fight, GO!" Asuma told the group before setting off.
Ten minutes later Ino Called for her group, the group reached to see Ino wide eyed and pointing at something. The group saw it and was shocked to see something like this done by Naruto.
Team 8 were not having a good time either. Hinata's Byakugan was proving to be useless since she could not detect any chakra signatures. Shino had spread his bugs around to cover a large ground. Meanwhile the group was following Kiba and Akamaru. Akamaru could smell Naruto and the smell was getting nowhere closer. At last Akamaru stopped and barked at Kiba.
"What are you sure?" Kiba asked Akamaru nodded.
"Akamaru says his smell stops here sensei" Kiba told Kurenai.
"I guess this was a clone if the smell suddenly disappear, but still scan the area and see if you find any..." Kurenai was interrupted by Hinata who notice something at the tree. The group Looked at it and was shock.
Meanwhile the summoning hounds were tracking Naruto. They were tracking specialist and easily notice that they were following a clone when the smell stopped in the middle of their tracks. The group went to inspect where Naruto was at before he disappeared. Following the smell they found a huge rock. On the rock they found something that made some of the dogs quiver.
"So I guess this is it, you guys go I'll report to Kakashi." Pakkun told and the other dogs disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
Meanwhile team 7 reached the end of the journey when they reached the valley of the ends.
"So the foot prints ends here, that means he has crossed the valley and left to the other side or he was a clone. Let's go back our journey ends here" Kakashi told his group.
"Shouldn't we check on the other side?" Sakura asked Kakashi.
Kakashi just shook his head and said "No, we head back." Kakashi said again.
"Are we to just abandon...?" Sasuke was protesting him
And Kakashi interrupted and said "It is dangerous out there, so we can't go without proper equipment." Kakashi stated.
"Then we should help him right if it's that dangerous out there." Sasuke said and Sakura nodded in agreement.
Kakashi was happy with the team worrying about their teammate. Kakashi smiled with his eyes and said
"You guys pass my exam and are officially Genins."
"Wait! What? What does it have to do with Naruto?" Sakura asked
"Those who do not follow the rules are trash but those who abandon their teammates are lower than trash...this is the quality I was looking for in team." Kakashi stated,
"So we look for Naruto now?" Sakura asked
"No...We'll look for him once we give the report to Hokage Sama"
Sakura frowned at this
"Don't worry I'm not abandoning him we will just have to come back later" with that the group left.
After some time all the groups met at the place they separated.
"Did you find anything?" Kakashi asked the two groups and Pakkun.
"Yeah, we found something very disturbing" Pakkun told Kakashi.
"You too!" Both Kurenai and Asuma replied together and he nodded.
"And what is it?" Kakashi asked
"Well he wrote and I quote 'Leave or face the wrath of the kyuubi'." Pakkun said.
Kakashi was shocked at hearing this.
'Is this the same Naruto as before' this thought was going in the minds of the Genins.
"If all three of yours is a clone then he must have crossed the valley of the end, let's go back" Kakashi told the group and they headed back to Konoha
Meanwhile Naruto was meditating and trying to mix his chakra with the Fox chakra and Nature's chakra. Although he was having a lot of trouble at first but now he is taking the chakras little by little and mixing it together.
"Keep going like this kit and you will master this within a month" kyuubi said
But Naruto did not reply he was concentrating in his meditating seeing this kyuubi smiled.
