Chapter 3: Training and Admirers

Disclaimer: I do not nor ever will own Naruto.

It had been one month since Team 8 passed their exam. During that time Kurenai used that time to drill teamwork and chakra control into their heads. Their teamwork became nearly flawless when Kiba wasn't being hot headed that is. Shikamaru and Kiba's control went up drastically. However Naruto… Well Naruto was making slow progress in this area. But with huge reserves for such a young age it was understandable.

Their ability to plan and strategize before and during combat was impressive. And this ability was used by all of her students but more so than any one was Naruto. He was a genius during combat. His ability to think clearly and adjust to a new situation was incredible. Almost Jonin level!

Currently she was watching Naruto practice his kenjutsu with a certain purple haired Anbu Captain.

(Flashback)

Kiba and Shikamaru's schedule was different from their blonde haired teammates. They after a couple hours of training or a mission would go to learn their clan's jutsu. Thus leaving an over ecstatic Kurenai with her 'Naruto-Kun'.

"Um… Kurenai-sensei can I ask you something?" – a nervous Naruto.

"Of course Naruto, what do you need?" – Kurenai

"Well um… You don't happen to know kenjutsu do you?" – Naruto

"No Naruto I don't but may I ask why?" – Kurenai

"Well it's just that I have read and memorized all the katas in the scrolls Jiji got me but I can't improve any more without a master to learn and spar with." – Naruto feeling slightly disappointed.

Kurenai now a bit ashamed that she couldn't help him herself, brightened up a bit at the thought of a Neko masked Anbu teaching the blonde.

(Flashback End)

Since that day Yugao had worked Naruto to the ground and then some. But Naruto took it and kept going. Thus impressing both kunoichi with his determination.

Naruto, now equipped with a gravity seal, had improved his speed to that of a high Genin. Mid Chunin if the seal was removed. His kenjutsu had improved to Mid Chunin and was rising quickly.

"That's enough for today Naruto. Your Kenjutsu is improving quite well."- Yugao

"Thank you Yugao-sensei, but I wouldn't be where I am today without your help." Earning a blush from said woman.

'Yugao-sensei is blushing again. But she couldn't like me could she? I mean she's about the same age as Kurenai-sensei' – Naruto

"Good job Naruto you're getting better and faster every day" – Kurenai

"Thank you sensei but I owe a lot to you too. If you didn't care I would still be where I was when we met."

Earning yet another blush from his other sensei.

'He's such a charmer. Does he even realize that?' thought Kurenai.

Little did she know that he knew exactly what he was doing and loved to be able to make his senseis blush. He did it nearly every day and never got tired of it. It was something he came to take pride in. After all how many guys could say they could make two of Kohona's Ice Queens blush.

"Well good bye Kurenai-sensei, Yugao-sensei I'll see you tomorrow right?" – Naruto

"Actually Naruto I have a mission tomorrow so I won't be seeing you for a little while." – Yugao

Naruto now disappointed he wouldn't see his sensei. "Oh ok well then be careful and good luck." And with that Yugao left in a shushin.

"It's ok Naruto I have a friend who is going to help teach you some jutsu tomorrow!" said Kurenai now trying to cheer her student up.

Still feeling slightly down "Ok sensei I guess I'll see you tomorrow then." Then left to his apartment to continue his training with Kyuubi.

After Team 8's test Naruto talked with Kyuubi and agreed to the deal. He was given the Kitsune summoning scroll to sign which he gladly accepted. He was also taught the Kitsune Kenjutsu style. Which relied on being fast and flexible to lure his opponents into false openings to which he then used counter measures to deal a blow to the enemy. He was also told of his affinity to Fuuton and Suiton chakra. He learned a couple jutsu for each element. Like the Fuuton: Great Breakthrough and the Fuuton: Air Bullet. He also knew the Suiton : Water Prison Jutsu and The Suiton: Water Wall Jutsu. He was improving quite drastically in the ninjutsu department. Though he was still horrible at genjutsu he could dispel any genjutsu of a C-rank and a couple B-ranks. He decided to keep this knowledge to himself for now. Mostly because he was afraid his senseis would get angry and hate him like the other villagers if they knew he could speak with Kyuubi.

"Kit you need to stop being so depressed. When you're around them your happy. And they are old enough to have been alive during the attack 14 years ago. They don't seem to have any ill intent towards you. Just continue to be yourself" – Kyuubi

"Ya maybe your right Kyuubi I should just be myself around them." Said a now smiling Naruto.

"Kit, get some sleep. Something tells me you're going to need it." – Kyuubi

Next Day 1pm

Naruto arrived to the Training Grounds to the sight of his sensei and a new woman he had never seen before. She was dressed in a fishnet shirt and a short skirt that left little to the imagination. He probably would have passed out for blood loss if not for the brown over coat she was wearing. But what really caught his eye was the beautiful angels face. And her purple hair was tied up to give it a kind of pineapple look.

"Well Naru-kun, see something you like." This earned a blush from the now embarrassed Naruto.

"Now Ko-chan leave Naruto be you haven't even met him yet." – Kurenai

"H-hello I'm Naruto and you are?" still flushed Naruto.

"Well Naru-kun I am Anko Mitarashi, but you can call me Anko-chan"

"Um Ok" – Naruto

"Well here you go pump some chakra through this and we can get started." – Anko

Naruto already knowing were this was heading decided to humor his senseis. He pumped his chakra through the paper which split, then got wet.

"Well so you have an affinity to Wind and Water. I don't know much about Wind Jutsu but I can help you with what I can in Water." – Anko

"Thanks Anko-sensei" said Naruto with a smile.

"Ah ah ah. Now Naru-kun I told you to call me Anko-chan" – Anko

And then began what Naruto soon came to know as the most sadistic training regimen to ever exist.

Well there's chapter 3. Review and let me know your thoughts. And a poll will be place on my profile to keep the harem the original 5 girls I had in mind. Or to expand to girls from outside the leaf. You may vote only once. Thanks!
