A/N: Yo! Here is the next chapter to my Apprentice Naruto fic that I had created. I am sorry that I have slowed down my updating rate, but I just can't keep up that three times a day stuff.
I mean to apologize for that, but who can hold that up, I was pushing way too hard!
Same everything as before.
Chapter 2
Day 1
Naruto got ready for his new training that day. Today was the day that he would be training with Anko.
Naruto was psyched for it. If only he knew what kind of hell the training would be for him.
"So, what are we doing today, Anko-sensei?" Naruto chirped.
Anko got a gleam in her eye and asked him a question. "So, I've heard that you know the shadow clone jutsu, is it true?"
Naruto felt a shiver run up his spine but chose to ignore it for now, it probably wasn't important. If only he knew how wrong that he would prove to be.
He nodded in response to the question.
Anko gave a malicious smirk and said, "I want you to summon as many clones as you can."
Naruto complied and made 1500 clones.
Anko's smirk grew even wider at that.
"Good, now, I want your clones to split up into groups of three hundred and work on these exercises that I am giving them." Anko commanded.
Naruto shrugged his shoulders and followed the order that he was given and gave one of the scrolls that he was handed to each clone.
Not that he thought that it would do him any good; he still didn't know the secret of the shadow clone just yet.
"What will I be doing, sensei?" Naruto asked her.
"That's simple, while your clones do that; we will be doing physical training." Anko said with an evil smile on her face.
"How will we do that?" He asked, not liking where the conversation was heading, at least for him.
Anko looked like she wanted to kill the world and had just succeeded with the smirk that she had on her face.
"Dodge," Anko commanded him as she took out a kunai.
"…what," Naruto asked.
"DODGE," Anko screamed as she threw a kunai at him.
Naruto barely dodged it and started running away from his insane sensei.
The woman kept throwing the kunai for hours on end.
By the time they were finished with training for the day, Naruto was worn out mentally and physically, not to mention the fact that he had shallow scars all over him from where the kunai had hit him.
Naruto's clones had also mastered all of the jutsu that they had been given, as well as gotten a good start on the basic wind chakra control exercises and gotten some of the summoning abilities down, he still didn't know that he was about to get four new ones.
Day 2
Naruto groaned as he got out of bed and ready for a day of training, even with his healing ability, he was still extremely sore from the day of training that he went through under his craziest sensei.
"Good morning, Naruto-kun!" Kurenai chirped as she put his breakfast on the table.
"Morning, sensei," Naruto said before something finally registered within his mind.
"What are you doing here, sensei?" Naruto finally asked.
"I was making you a breakfast. I was looking in the fridge and decided that my student would need to be at his peak, so you would have to eat healthier." Kurenai stated.
Naruto looked at the food and smiled, he could finally eat something other than the rotten food that he had gotten.
The only reason that Naruto had went to Ichiraku ramen so much other than the fact that it was his favorite food was that he wasn't able to get anything else thanks to the villagers.
"Also, I took the liberty of buying you some clothes." She stated as she tossed his new clothes to him.
Naruto looked at the clothes and saw that they were black with a bit of red and a bit of orange in them.
He smiled again at having finally gotten clothes that were good for the ninja. He liked orange, but his jumpsuit was a bit over the top.
"Put them on and come back out here." Kurenai said before she sat down on the couch and waited while sipping her herbal tea.
Naruto came back five minutes later in his new clothes and thanked her before saying thank you and eating.
She smacked him after he had started eating.
"No, that is not how you eat, look at me." Kurenai said as she demonstrated.
Slowly, Naruto started getting the hang of it.
"As a ninja, you are expected to be able to blend in and not draw attention in everything that you do." Kurenai lectured.
"Infiltration," Naruto said, remembering the small lecture that he had heard before he had been kicked out that time.
Kurenai smiled and nodded, "Correct, I will be teaching you about subtlety and genjutsu, meaning that you have to learn the basics before you get to the advanced stuff."
The rest of the day was spent teaching Naruto how to blend in to an upper class community, and then he would be taught how to blend in on the streets.
He didn't get to the second one just yet, but he would get to it the next day.
Day 3
Naruto had gotten up pretty easily on that day.
The bruises from training with Anko didn't hurt that much and he was able to meet Hana at the vet clinic.
"Now, I will be teaching you basic medical stuff and also some tracking and how to avoid being tracked. I know that you haven't been taught about chakra control, but I know a way to remedy this. Anko told me that you know the shadow clone jutsu." Hana stated.
Naruto nodded and asked, "What is so special about that jutsu?"
Hana smacked herself as she remembered that his previous teachers never taught him that much and he probably wouldn't know what the shadow clones did.
"The shadow clone jutsu makes clones of you; however, the special thing about this jutsu is that it allows the user to be able to gain the experience the clones gained." Hana explained.
Naruto eyes lit up. Normally he wouldn't understand such an explanation, however, Kurenai had him read the dictionary throughout the course of the night, so he did.
"So, I will be training your clones in chakra control while you and several of your clones read the books that I set out for you and take thorough notes on what I have put out for you." Hana ordered as Naruto made the same amount of clones that he had two days before.
Naruto and his clones immediately set out to work and started working on reading the books and the note taking.
A few hours later and Naruto felt his clones that he had made for Hana dispel.
She walked in a few minutes later and gave him a test while she took his notes and read them.
Normally, Naruto would be more resistant to the idea, but he was getting more used to the idea that they were trying to help him and that he would like tests better if he was able to understand them.
After thirty minutes, Naruto was done with the test and Hana with the reading.
Hana gave him a B+ for it and said that she was expecting an A next time.
Day 4
Day four was the training with Yuugao, and Naruto didn't know what to expect of it.
He just hoped that she wasn't as crazy as Anko.
Naruto met her outside of a ninja store that he hadn't seen before.
They walked in and Yuugao explained what she was doing there.
"We are going to be buying you tons of weapons and correcting your abilities with kunai and shuriken throwing." Yuugao explained as the two of them literally bought out the store of one of every item, even the rarer ones.
"I will be having your clones read these books about the weapons and the forms for them while you and I work on your kunai and shuriken throwing." She said with a smile.
And that was what they did, while the clones did all of the reading, Naruto and Yuugao were working to correct his form with the weapons that he had been assigned for the day.
By the end of the day, Naruto had gotten better with his throwing abilities.
Weekend 1
The weekend for Naruto was spent with doing all of the things that he had been assigned to do by his senseis.
Sunday was the only exception.
Jiraya had apparently complained to the Hokage about his student leaving him.
"Naruto, why did you not let Jiraya teach you?" The hokage asked.
Naruto snorted and said, "Would you let someone who just gave you the scrolls and only demonstrated once before he got back to perving on women teach you."
The hokage blinked, that wasn't what Jiraya had told him.
"I'm sure you're exaggerating." The hokage replied.
Naruto sighed and said, "Do you know what I had to do to get him to even teach me?"
The Hokage looked interested at that, Jiraya hadn't told him any of this.
"He had me use my sexy jutsu to spy on women for him in the first day. I wasted two weeks of my month training with him, and all he did was poke me in the stomach and teach me the summoning jutsu, and even then, all I know about it is the signs!" Naruto said.
The hokage looked mad at that and said, "I must speak to my student about this, then. But, I need to know who your senseis are."
Naruto looked confused and said, "How did you know that I've gotten new senseis?"
The Hokage smirked and said, "The crystal ball in my office. I've seen you training, but I can't seem to get an idea of your senseis from it."
Naruto sighed and spilled all of the beans to the Hokage.
The hokage mulled over the idea of the four fatales training Naruto and couldn't help but be pleased, there were plenty of other jonnin that could train the teams and Anko and Yuugao weren't really doing anything right then.
"Very well, I wish to do something with your permission, however." The hokage stated.
Naruto shot him a confused look before he nodded.
"I want to make the four fatales your senseis and you their apprentice." Sarutobi said.
Naruto looked happy at that before he thought about something, "What about their teams?"
The Hokage chuckled at that, Naruto had indeed changed since he had become a ninja.
"I will give Team 8 another sensei and the rest of them aren't doing anything except missions that can be passed on, the only exception being Hana, who works for a vet clinic." Hiruzen said.
Naruto smiled at that.
The Hokage left, making plans for what he could do to get the council off of his back using the new situation that had occurred.
Day 5
Naruto had managed to make an extra 600 clones and Anko had them working on 7 different things now.
He was also being taught something new that day instead of just jutsus.
"I will be teaching you a taijutsu stance. It is called the hidden snake stance." Anko explained as she showed him it.
Naruto then tried to make the stance only to have several things wrong.
Anko went around and corrected them before she had him keep getting into the stance and fix it each and every time that he needed to.
By the end of two hours, Naruto had gotten the basic stance down perfectly.
"Good, now we move onto the types of moves that can be used with it. We will start with the most basic: punching." Anko said.
Naruto looked confused at that before he nodded in acceptance.
"The first type of punch is relatively easy; it is just a fast jab." Anko said before she demonstrated it.
Naruto tried it a few times and eventually got it.
"It needs to be a little quicker, but good, none the less." Anko said. "The second type of punch is the strong one."
Anko then tensed all of her muscles before she threw it out, knocking the branch she had been trying it on down.
Naruto attempted that for the next hour before he finally got the hang of it.
Anko nodded and taught him several more types of hand attacks before she realized how late that it had gotten.
"Kid's gonna go far." She muttered after he had left.
Day 6
Kurenai showed up that morning and had him demonstrate his abilities to blend in with the upper class to her.
When she found that there were a few mistakes, she called him out on them and had him fix them.
Afterwards, she gave Naruto a new kimono to help him look rich whenever he had to go on that type of mission.
"Okay, as promised, today, I will teach you how to blend in on a street." Kurenai said.
"Try to follow me." She commanded as she started weaving through the crowd with skill and demonstrating her abilities.
Naruto followed her to the best of his abilities before he found that he had lost her.
He looked around frantically until he felt a tap on his shoulder.
Naruto whirled around and saw an amused Kurenai.
"That wasn't funny." Naruto muttered angrily.
She chuckled at that before becoming serious.
"You did pretty well for your first try; don't hold it against yourself that you weren't able to do it on your first try, the fact that you were able to keep up with my movement for several minutes in a crowd is impressive." She said.
Naruto smiled sheepishly at the praise that he had gotten and Kurenai chuckled.
A few more times and Naruto was able to weave through the crowd with ease at a level above gennin.
By the end of the day, Kurenai had started teaching him how to haggle without making a scene and to his surprise; he was actually very good at it.
They then called it a day after that, seeing how it had gotten dark then.
Day 7
Naruto was back with Hana for that day.
As promised, she had given him another test and had him fill it out while she got everything ready for her lesson of the day.
Naruto had already learned a good bit from her, but she felt that it would be a good idea to review it all to make sure that he had it all drilled into his head.
To her surprise, he had remembered everything that she had told him in the chakra control exercises and a good bit of what they had discussed inside.
Hana hypothesized that the clones allowed him to view the memory more clearly than he would have been able to before they had found out the secret of the shadow clone.
Hana and Naruto did the same thing as they had done before with the exception of the fact that Hana came back early and they went outside so he could have some practical experience with herbs.
Hana pointed out each and every one of the plants to the twenty clones that she had following her.
At the end of the day, Naruto asked her a question.
"Hana, I just realized something. Are there any poisonous plants?" He asked her.
Hana nodded seriously and said, "Anko is going to start training your clones in that while you are training with her on Monday."
Naruto looked confused at that.
With a little prompting from Hana, he voiced his question.
"Why do you want Anko to tell me about poisons?" Naruto asked.
Hana sighed and said, "I don't really know enough about poisons to teach anyone about them. I know the bare minimum required to be a vet, so that makes me a less than satisfactory teacher."
Naruto nodded his head in acceptance at that.
The rest of the day was pretty much just spent training.
Day 8
Naruto was again training with Yuugao.
She was teaching him the basics with senbon as he had already learned about the basic technique going through the training with kunai and shuriken throwing and just needed to refine it with senbon.
While Naruto was doing this, he had half of his clones working on reading the new books and half of them working with what they had learned the last time and refining it to their use.
Yuugao whistled a few minutes later and called Naruto's attention back to her.
"You're doing very well for this time, better than I expected. Now, I am going to teach you three very special jutsu. I want you and your clones to work with it for today and the weekend, and, refine it to the point that you do not need hand signs to do it." Yuugao lectured.
"What are the jutsu, sensei?" Naruto asked, confused at why they were doing this.
"The jutsus are actually variations of the shadow clone. The first one is the shuriken shadow clone and the second one is the shadow kunai clone. The third is much harder and could give you an advantage over Neji. It's called the exploding clone jutsu." Yuugao explained.
Yuugao then demonstrated all three of his jutsu on a poor sap.
Literally, after she was done, there was no tree left.
"That is what you will learn over the weekend." Yuugao said.
With that, she left Naruto to it.
Last weekend
Naruto panted.
Apparently, his senseis had decided that he needed to train over the weekend to be ready for the exam on Tuesday.
Anko was teaching him the summoning jutsu, Yuugao was teaching him basic Kenjutsu, Hana was teaching him some more medical jutsu and tracking skills, and Kurenai was teaching him some Genjutsu.
By the end of the weekend, they vowed that Naruto would be ready for the exam or he would die trying.
Done! I hope that you all enjoyed this chapter!
Please read and review!
