Hey my loyal readers! This is chapter two of KBM, that I finished just minutes before I typed this up and posted it. Well, I hope you enjoy it and that it's long enough for those who believe that my chapters are somewhat short.
It's been two years since Gai started training Naruto, and his taijutsu skills have skyrocketed. His strength has tripled, and his speed and stamina have doubled thanks to the one-hundred pound weights on each of his limbs, and he can take down any high-genin or low-chunin in a straight up taijutsu match. Today however was Naruto and Gai's day off from their training schedule, and the spandex wearing jonin was at the jonin bar along with Kakashi, Asuma, Kurenai, and Anko.
"So Gai, how's that student of yours doing?" asked Kakashi as he read his book o' smut, gaining death glares from the two kunoichi.
"Naruto-kun is doing great Kakashi! His youthfulness is so large that it surpasses my own. I believe that he will succeed in his goal of becoming a hunter-nin."
"Wait, what? I thought that he wanted to be Hokage?" asked Asuma.
"He did, but when we started talking a couple of days ago..."
~Flashback~
"Gai-sensei, other than genin, chunin, jonin, and Hokage, what kind of ninja's are there?" asked Naruto as he rested from his training that day.
"Well, there's the hunter-nins, they hunt down nuke-nins and stop them from giving away our village secrets. they also go out and return the bodies of our fallen ninja so that our secrets wont be revealed. there's also the ANBU who take on A-class, S-class, and even more dangerous missions. sometimes they dont come back from a mission, wich is when the Hokage sends out the hunter-nin's. finally, there's the Sannin, the three legendary ninja: Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya." Gai answered as he turned to look at his student. "Why do you want to know Naruto-kun?"
Naruto didnt answer right away, instead he looked up at the sky and thought about what he wanted to do as a ninja. "Gai-sensei, i think im going to put becoming Hokage on hold for a while. i want to protect my precious people and my home, but i cant do that sitting behind my desk doing paperwork nonstop. i need to be doing missions, fighting out homes enemies and traitors." standing up, Naruto pulled out a kunai and began to carve the kanji for 'hunter' and 'protector' on his left palm, shocking Gai. "I'm going to become a hunter-nin, I'm going to protect my precious people: Shikamaru, Chouji, Kiba, Hinata, Teuchi, Ayame, Jiji, Akane, and you."
at hearing his proclomation, Gai couldn't help but smile. "Well Naruto-kun, I'm glad you count me as one of your precious people. I promise that I'll help you become a hunter-nin. If we fail, I'll do one-thousand laps around Konoha on my hands while balancing a boulder on my feet!" Gai promised as he did his nice guy pose.
"Uh...thanks, Gai-sensei." Naruto sweat dropped. "Way to ruin the moment."
~Flashback End~
As the other jonins looked at Gai, they all had a different look of surprise: Kurenai's jaw was on the bar, Anko's dango was comepletely forgotten, Asuma's death-stick had fallen out of his mouth, and Kakashi wasn't reading his book o' smut. Gai had to use all of his self control not to explode into laughter at the looks on his friends faces.
"He's actually put his dream of becoming Hokage on hold?" Asuma exclaimed, earning nods from the green clad jonin.
"Yes, but since the hunter-nins have so many talents that they need, I was hoping you could help me train him. His ninjutsu and genjutsu are academy level at best. His stealth is good, but only surpasses genin and some chunin. Also, since hunter-nins have to be the best assassins in the village, he needs major training in that as well. I wanted to ask you three to help because you're the best at what you do. Anko is the best at stealth and assassination."
Anko grinned and pouted playfully. "Stop Gai, you're making me blush."
"Kurenai is the best genjutsu specialist in the entire village."
Kurenai blushed and twiddled her finger nervously. "I wouldn't say the entire village..."
"Asuma is the best wind user in the village, and I have a strong feeling that Naruto-kun has a wind affinity."
The young Sarutobi grinned. "Great, now I have someone to bounce jutsu ideas off of."
"And my rival Kakashi has the most ninjutsu apart from the Hokage and is only beat in tracking by the Inuzuka clan."
Kakashi eye-smiled and rubbed the back of his head. "Well, I'm not sure about the others, but I'll be glad to help train the kid."
"I'm in." Asuma answered.
"Me too." Kurenai smiled at Gai as she nodded.
"Count me in, I'll make him the best assassin in the entire village! Not counting me, of course." Anko purred, happy at the thought of a new toy to play with.
"Thank you everyone. I knew your youthfulness will bring you to help me train Naruto-kun." Gai exclaimed as he did his nice guy pose and showed his insanely bright teeth, gaining odd looks from the other occupants of the bar.
~Next Day, Training Ground Twenty-five~
Naruto was doing his usual warm ups when Gai and four other people he didn't know.
"Good morning Naruto-kun. I see you've started your training already." Gai greeted with his large smile.
"Hai Gai-sensei. Um, if it's okay for me to ask, who are these jonin that are with you?" Naruto asked politely.
"AH, these, Naruto-kun, are my youthful friends and your new senseis: Anko, Asuma, Kakashi, and Kurenai."
"Hey there, Gaki." Anko grinned like a predator as she eyed Naruto, making the boy a little nervous.
"Hey, Naruto-kun. The old man wanted me to tell you to come over for dinner tomorrow night. Mom's making her sweet and spicy chicken again."
With a far away look, Naruto began to drool at the thought of the delectable meal. Luckily, his day dream didn't last long as Kakashi began his greeting.
"Yo." Kakashi waved as he read his book, earning a glare from Naruto before he disappeared and reappeared, taking Kakashi's book and using his chakra to enhance his arms to rip it into pieces.
"You may be my new sensei and a jonin, but I DESPISE perverts. So, if I see you reading this in public again, I'll make sure that you won't feel so happy aftger reading your books. Okay, Ero-sensei?" Naruto asked in a kind tone that contrasted with the cold look in his eyes.
"Um...right." Kakashi gulped and looked a little wary, seeing how he didn't see him move whatsoever. While Kakashi was scared for his books and his manhood (and yes, they are in the order of most important to least important) Anko was on the ground and laughing her miniskirt-ed ass off.
"Hello Naruto-kun, I hope that I can teach you the best I can." Kurenai smiled as she greeted the young boy, already earning her respect for dealing with Kakashi.
"Hello Anko-sensei, Asuma-sensei, Ero-sensei, Kurenai-sensei. What are each of you going to be teaching me anyway?" Naruto greeted back, making Kakashi's eye twitch while the others laughed.
"Well Naruto-kun, everyone here knows you want to become a hunter-nin, so I asked them to help train you. Anko's the best at stealth and assassination, Asuma's our residential wind user-" Gai began, before Naruto interupted.
"Wind user? I don't follow Gai-sensei."
"Allow me Gai." Asuma said as he lit another cigarette. "I'm sure you know the elemental nations: Hi no Kuni, Mizu no Kuni, Tsuchi no Kuni, Raikou no Kuni, and Kaze no Kuni. Each nation is named after the amount of people in their country have an affinity for a certain element. An affinity is when you can learn one type of elemental jutsu much easier than another type. If you're affinity is wind like mine, you can use and learn wind jutsu much easier than any other type of jutsu and so on. As you know, my affinity is wind and Gai believes that you're a wind type as well. Here, push your chakara into this piece of paper and we'll know. If it's wind, it'll be cut; fire and it burns; earth and it turns to dust; lightning and it crumbles up; water and it gets wet. The tree this paper is raised with chakra so it's able to tell you your afinity because of that.
Nodding in understanding, Naruto pushed his chakra into the paper, causing it to split in half and one piece to catch on fire while the other became soaked. "Um... is it normal for someone to half three affinities?"
Looking at each other, Asuma and Kakashi grinned as one thought crossed through their minds. "This is going to be fun."
"Naruto-kun, to answer your question, it's not normal for a seven-year-old academy student to have three affinities, most jonin only have two. You're certainly going to become a very strong shinobi Naruto-kun." Gai beamed in pride at his student, making him blush since he;s not quite used to praise just yet.
"Well, back to our introductions, Gaki. Kakashi is our best tracker and ninjutsu specialst, and Kurenai-chan is the Genjutsu Mistress of Konoha according to the bingo book." Anko explained as she grinned and Kurenai blushed modestly.
Naruto bowed and smiled at his new sensei's. "Thank you very much. I'll do my best to make you proud."
All smiling, the jonin patted Naruto's head, shoulders, or back. "It's no problem, Gaki. Now, lets begin your tort-...er...training. Yeah, training!" three guesses on who said that, and the first two don't count.
"Uh-oh..."
That was the only thought that went through Naruto's head as he looked at Anko warily.
