Hello and Welcome back to chapter 3 of 'Naruto Fish-Cakes Namikaze: Ninja Shinigami', but before we start:

I just want to clear out 2 things, the first being the frequency of this story's updates, in the next 2 weeks I'd say maybe 3 to 4 chapters will be released each week, as I'm off school and will have free time, after those 2 weeks it'll go more along the lines of 1-2 chapters a week, hope that clears out the update schedule.

Second thing is that, even though I know that in cannon the period in between the visoreds exile and Ichigo becoming a Shinigami is 100 years in the human world, or 10 years in Soul Society and the Shinobi world, I'll be elongating that period for about 50-75 years in the human world, otherwise Naruto would only be 10 years old when the main story starts, which would be problematic.

That's all so without further ado,

Six years later...

"Wake up Naru-chan! Today's your first day at the Academy and I'm sure you would hate to be late!" He heard Yoruichi say in a sweet, yet threatening voice, threatening that if he didn't get up he would be forced to, in painful way... no matter, it's not like he needed to be woken up today, it was his first day at the Academy! He wasn't that excited for the Academy itself, he had already been trained by Yoru-chan since he was four and she was miles above any instructor in the Academy, no he was excited for meeting new friends, or his first friends. It was also his first time going into to the village since his fifth birthday... he decided not to dwell on that thought as he screamed a quick "I'll be down in 2 minutes!" and put his clothes on, a black shirt with the Uzumaki swirl on it, and dark green shorts, opening, and then slamming shut the door behind him and jumping from the second to first floor, totally disregarding the stairs. He ran through the living room, straight to the kitchen where he could already smell the delicious smell of ramen entering his nose and ground his heels into the ground to slow himself down before sitting in his chair, looking up to see who was already up.

"Morning Uncle Kisuke, Tessai, Yoru-chan." He said quickly, receiving a chorus of "Mornings" from the three people, "Yoru-chan, why am I getting ramen for breakfast today, not that I'm complaining." he asked, practically drooling at the sight of the bowl.

The reason why there were only Kisuke Tessai, Yoruichi and Naruto here right now was because, after they had first moved into the compound, they had spotted a second, smaller part of the mansion across the training grounds, that was where the four had decided to stay, so the visoreds lived in the bigger part of the mansion, while the others lived across from them, in the smaller house, that wasn't to say that they didn't interact, on the contrary, Naruto and Hiyori often had arguments, similar to the ones she had with Shinji, speaking of him, Naruto and him often teamed up to make fun of Hiyori, which had earned Shinji several fractures and had earned Naruto and the rest of the big group the most terrifying memory of their lifes... (A/N: This is sort of an Omake, I just decided to put it here, you can skip withouht missing out on the story.)

Flashback...

"EAT MY SANDAL BALDY!" Hiyori screamed at the top of her lungs as she lunged at Shinji, sandal armed and ready, and threw him into the wall, she then turned towards a terrified Naruto, who was almost regretting what he had done, but was also forcing himself not to burst out laughing as he stared at her.

Flashback in a flashback...

It was a Sunday, the only day when the visoreds allowed themselves to rest, they trained everyday, in preparation for their revenge against Aizen, and Hiyori was determined to stay in bed all day, and do absolutely nothing, no baldy today, no whiskers brat, nothing, but her, her bed and her sandal, which she loved more than anything in the world. But OF COURSE those delightful plans had to be cancelled.

The first problem she noticed was the sudden absence of the bird's chirps, almost as if something had come and scared them away, all the sudden she was on her guard, "Baldy, Whiskers-gaki? I swear on my sandal, if you try anything today you'll be six foot under by noon!"

"I already told you not to call me that Snaggletooth!" was all she heard before, in the blink of an eye, Naruto was in front of her and had dumped a bucket of honey on her head.

"AHHHH, what the fuck!" she screamed at she threw the bucket off her head, wiping her eyes clear of the honey, ready to dodge whatever was next, but it was too late, she could barely hear Shinji giggling with her honey filled ears before he threw what was probably an entire bag of feathers on her.

She could once again see, so she turned around towards where Shinji was laughing his ass off, and was about to make due on her earlier promise, before she heard "That's not who you should be focusing on Hi-chan!" Naruto called out gleefully, she turned around only to receive a bucket of pink paint thrown onto her.

"Hahaaha, that's what I'm talking about Naruto! Now let's go, before she actually buries us." she heard Shinji laugh out and high-five with Naruto before they ran out into the training grounds, where the entire group was, they had been informed they would get a surprise by Naruto and Shinji.

"Okay guys, only a couple second before she gets here, 3, 2, 1..."

"WHISKERS-GAKI! I DON'T CARE IF THOSE ARE BIRTHMARKS, YOU'LL BE MISSING THEM SOON! AND BALDY YOU BETTER SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR TEETH!" was the sound the group heard as they were greeted by the sight of somebody who had the same outline as Hiyori, but was covered in honey, feathers and pink paint, needless to say, they all burst out laughing.

"YOU BETTER SHUT UP OR I'LL BE COMING FOR YOU TOO!" that got some of them, namely Kensei, who thought this was too childish, Hachigen and Tessai, out of respect, although they still had trouble not smiling at the sight. Rose and Love were obviously amused, and were sniggering at the sight.

Some of them didn't even try, Yoruichi was rolling on the ground, Kisuke had tried to supress his laughter to match his normal attitude, but even he couldn't resist as he was soon rolling next to her.

Machiro, for her part, was excited as always, jumping around Hiyori, screaming and giggling "Niwatori(Chicken)-chan!" dodging Hiyori's infuriated kicks.

Lisa had, oddly enough, pulled out a notebook and was drawing, what looked to be Hiyori's honey, feather and paint costume, on sexy women, muttering to herself "That's such a good idea, how come I never thought of that!"

"EAT MY SANDAL BALDY!"

Flashback in a flashback done...

So now Naruto was stuck in between praying to whatever God was out there, or just laughing his ass off and taking responsibility for his actions by having his whiskers ripped off, even though they were birthmarks. He didn't have time to think that though as Hiyori was already in front of her sandal at the ready, 'Well, I've lived a good four and a half years, life has been good to me, I HAVE NO REGRETS' he thought as he prepared to take the brunt force of Hiyori's armored sandal, his closed eyes however, opened when, instead of feeling pain, he felt honey, feather and paint covered hands stretching out his cheeks.

"Oh, who am I kidding, I couldn't lay a finger on you, you're so cute!" she thought rubbing her cheek against his whiskers.

Silence.

Everybody, Yoruichi and Kisuke, who were rolling on the floor of laughter a second ago, Lisa, who had dropped her notebook by now, Mashiro as well, even she couldn't comprehend what had happened, but knew it went against even the most basic laws of nature, Hachigen and Tessai were in the same boat, Shinji, who by now had come back, was stunned into silence, Rose and Love had lost then amused expression for ones of horror. Hell even, Kensei was shocked.

'Did she just say something, that something being Naruto of all things, was CUTE?!' they all thought in horror, her costume by now forgotten, poor Naruto had already fainted from the shock of thinking he was going to die, to the shock of Hiyori calling him cute.

"H-Hiyori, a-are y-you o-o-okay, m-maybe that h-honey got a bit too far i-into your e-ears, y-you m-might w-want to c-check out a d-doctor or s-something?" Asked Shinji in horror, raising a trembling finger and pointing it at her.

"What? I'm a girl, I have to find something cute, and those whiskers get me every time, don't get any ideas, he's still a gaki. I'm going to take a shower now." She said, turning around, dropping Naruto, before she was gone, she turned around one last time to say, "Oh and, I don't think it needs to be said that if this EVER gets out, you can all say goodbye to your reproductive parts." They all nodded, terrified, "Also Shinji, don't think you're off the hook, watch your back." Shinji screamed, suprised and terrified and jumped behind Tessai.

That day stayed, forever engrained in their minds, even so, they all vowed to never speak word of it again and when Naruto had woken up, they told him it was just a dream, which he had gladly accepted as an explanation.

Flashback end

(A/N: Back to story.)

"It's your first day at the academy, don't you think that's a special occasion Naru-chan?" she responded, not even bothering to call him out on calling her 'Yoru-chan', after all she called him 'Naru-chan', it was only fair after all. She placed the bowl in front of him.

"Hmm, ye I gueshh." He said while scarfing down his ramen, earning a glare from Yoruichi for eating like that.

As she looked at him eating, already almost done with his bowl. She couldn't help but reminisce on the past 6 years.

The first 3 years had been normal, those years weren't any different from any kid's childhood, well at least not much, the only difference being that he didn't go in the village, she simply didn't see the need to, and she was a bit worried about the village's reception to him, so she just stayed clear of bringing him there.

On his fourth birthday, she had told him she would start training him, she smiled as she remembered how happy he was, she had first done physical conditioning, so his body could handle the strain of training, after that she had agreed to train him in speed, hand-to-hand and basic chakra control, she couldn't actually teach him, seeing as she didn't use chakra, she had, however, borrowed a couple books from the library, she couldn't actually enter the shinobi section, so she had asked Hiruzen to bring him some books on the subject, to which he happily agreed. Turns out he was a natural at harnessing speed and hand-to-hand, easily being mid-genin level at the both of them at the young age of five, he had also learned the tree and water walking exercises for chakra control, he also, surprising as it was for him, meditated a lot, he said it helped him get a grip on his vast amounts of chakra, and was also nice for relaxing.

The day of his fifth birthday was easily the worst day of his life and the exiles since they had arrived to Konoha, she winced as she remembered what happened. As it was said before, Yoruichi stayed clear of bringing Naruto to the village, simply because she didn't see the use of doing so and was worried of how the villagers would react, turns out she was right to be worried. Forever Naruto had been begging her to go into the village, and after ages of it she had relented to it, saying they would go on his fifth birthday, not realising what event was held in the village on his birthday.

And so the day had came, they had arrived to the village to see the village lit up and everybody partying, Yoruichi had immediately realised what was going on, and cursed herself for bringing Naruto on this day, it was the day of the celebration Kyuubi's defeat and today the villagers would probably be extra evil if they saw Naruto. She quickly moved to stop Naruto from heading into the village, only to realise he had already left while she was thinking.

She cursed herself for her inattention and sped into the village, she had looked for about 30 minutes, and by then she was really worried, who knows where he could be, they could have already done so much to him in 30 minutes, she just hoped he had managed to evade them, turns out that didn't happen.

She had heard what sounded like a child's cry and instantly headed there, where she had come up onto a dead-end alleyway, only to see what looked to be a crowd of 10-15 villagers surrounding a small, bloody figure. That was probably one of the most terrifying events of her life, she had come to care for Naruto over the past 5 years, not in a motherly way, that wasn't even how they interacted, not in a sibling like manner, she honestly couldn't say, but she had come to care a lot for the kid, and seeing his beaten and bloody form, with glass shards stuck in him, burn marks, probably from cigarettes and cuts deep enough to reach bone had enraged her more than ever before, she had released so much reiatsu that the visoreds, Kisuke and Tessai had felt it all the way from the house, and had headed out to find her, only to come up on a dark alleyway, with a beaten Naruto lying with his head in Yoruichi's lap as she carefully removed the glassed shards from his body, twelve dead bodies around them, confused and horrified at seeing Naruto in such a state they had asked what had happened and once she had explained, needless to say they were angry that they couldn't have a piece of the people who had done this to him.

After all that, Hachigen had set up a healing Kido around Naruto and headed back to the house so he could rest, everybody aside from Kisuke and Yoruichi had gone with him as they had to stay to explain what had happened, once the Hokage had appeared with an ANBU squad, troubled by the energy he had felt, he had received an explanation as to what had happened and asked what Yoruichi's punishment would be, to which the old Hokage replied by shrugging and saying that the sentence that those villagers would have received was execution anyways, and had told them to simply go back to their house, which they did.

Naruto's healing factor had been the only reason why Naruto had fully recovered, if it wasn't for it he probably would have been handicapped for life, he had woken up 3 days later to a crying Yoruichi apologising for what had happened, confused, he had asked exactly what had happened, after that he had been assaulted into a hug by a, once again crying and apologising Yoruichi, shocked at her display of emotion, he had simply told her he didn't blame her for anything and that it wasn't her fault, which had seemingly worked, although he could still see she was feeling a bit guilty.

The next part had been the most surprising, Yoruichi and Kisuke had then proceeded to explain to him his heritage, that he was the son of Uzumaki Kushina and Minato Namikaze, needless to say he had been shocked, but then again it explained why they were staying at the Namikaze estate, they had also told him that, as he was their son he had access to Minato's jutsus, the Rasengan and Hiraishin, and that he would have access to them once he was a genin, and the Uzumaki's secret seals, once again, he was ecstatic, then they had explained what would no doubt be the hardest thing to explain, the fact he was the Kyuubi's jailer, at first he had come to the conclusion that he was the demon, which had earned him a slap by Yoruichi screaming at him about how he wasn't a demon and that demons didn't act the way he did, which had worked to comfort him, they had also told him the reason why his father had chosen him, truth be told he had already come to the conclusion, it was pretty obvious after all, so he hadn't held a grudge.

The final revelation had been that of the Shinigami, the whole story, Soul Society, Hollows, Zanpakuto, that everybody he lived with was one, that the three quarters of them were half hollows, which he had shrugged off saying it didn't matter, and that he wasn't racist, how Aizen was a traitor, and because of him they had been exiled, which had led to Naruto developping an intense hatred for the man.

And how they would be training him in the shinigami arts, and giving him his own zanpakuto, once he was ready. He was jumping for joy until he realised that they had said he would start training when he was ready, which would apparently be once he turned 8, for what reason, he didn't know, but he guessed he didn't have a right to complain.

And so the next year passed, very much similar to the last, him training his speed and hand-to-hand with Yoruichi, she had to admit that, after only 2 years, he had come a very long way, he would be able to rival her in Hakuda if he had the experience and physical condition for it, and she knew that once he grew he would outrival her in speed, needless to say, her assumption that he had potential had been spot on, and they hadn't even gotten into Zanjutsu and Kido yet.

Although he had been taking kenjutsu lesson with Kisuke and Kensei, he was also talented in that, evem though nowhere near his two mentors, which was normal, he still had potential.

He had also upped his chakra control to the level of a chunin, and had found his chakra natures, being a rare 3, wind, lightning and fire, she didn't realise how rare such a thing was until she reported it to the Hokage, who had been shocked and left muttering something about 'One in a century prodigies...'.

He had already learned the 3 jutsu required to graduate the academy, although because of his chakra he had learned the Kage bunshin over the normal Bunshin, he had even learned Shunshin, after all, it was only an E rank jutsu, the only reason you didn't learn it till later on was because of the chakra consumption, which was no problem for him.

And finally he had started to master his 3 elements, he had already completed his wind control exercices and learned a couple C-rank jutsus for it, C-rank was the highest rank he had been allowed to learn, which was understandable. He had started training over the fire element and was about halfway done with it, lightning he had left for last.

Needless to say, he was what could be called a 'prodigy', even though he hated being called one, it insinuated that he hadn't worked for his skills, which he had, in fact, he considered being called one an insult over anything.

She finished her little reminiscing session to see a concered looking Naruto hovering above her, poking her face.

"Oi, you there Yoru-chan?" He asked, poking his finger on her forehead, she slapped his hand off and glared half-heartedly at him

"Of course I'm here Naru-chan I was just thinking, something I don't think you can do." She said, irritated at his poking. "Now, if you're ready, let's go." She muttered, throwing his bag at him, which he caught.

"Heeeey," he whined, "what'd I do to deserve this cruel treatment."

"Nothing," she said, earning a deadpanned look from him, "I just like to play with you." She teased.

"Whatever," he muttered. "Where's the Academy anyways?"

"It's not that far, follow me," she exlaimed as she jumped up on a tree branch, "if you can!" As she started jumping from branch to branch.

"Hey, wait for me!" He called out, seeing her just turn her head back and stick her tongue out at him he saw it was hopeless, "uggh, damn it."

Yoruichi arrived at the academy, looking fresh and relaxed, and turned her head back just in time to see Naruto arriving, the second he touched ground he fell and lied on it, panting and sweating like a mad-man.

"Damn (pant)it, Yoru(pant)-chan, that (pant) wasn't fair." He said, breathing the last two words out at a fast pace before going back to breathing heavily.

"Aww, that was nothing, little Naru-chan," he glared at her, "consider that your warm up for the next 6 years here." She said as she helped him up.

"Yeah, yeah, we'll see if you'll be saying that once I'm faster than you." He muttered, earning a giggle from Yoruichi.

"Oh, I can't wait to see that day." She giggled.

"Whatever,we're here." He told her, pointing at the Academy. Dozen of families had already arrived, and he noticed several of them, the parents at least, had quieted up since he arrived, and had starting glaring at him, he heard several whispers of 'demon brat', which he all ignored, he had prepared himself for them and honestly couldn't care less about these people's opinion of him.

Yoruichi though, was a different story, as she had starting openly growling at the people around them, "It's fine, let them say what they want, I don't care about these people's opinion of me. Thanks though." He reassured, putting a hand on her shoulder, she turned her head to look towards and her eyes softened, she knew he was fine with this but it didn't mean she was, no 6 year old should have to deal with this bullshit, nonetheless she listened to him and kept walking.

They soon arrived at a small reception, after having filled out a couple papers and saying goodbye to him, wishing him luck, she had left back to the the house, leaving him to head to room 105.

He opened the door just in time to hear his now sensei, who the name of was Iruka Umino if he wasn't mistaken, call out "Uzumaki Naruto?"

"Yes." He said from tbe doorway, suprising several peoplewho hadn't noticed him when he entered. He took a good look at his sensei, he seemed good enough, hopefully he didn't automatically hate him because of the Kyuubi, although looking at his eyes he could see what looked to be buried hatred in them, almost as if he had forced himself to not put prejudice on Naruto, but was instead waiting to see if everybody else's prejudice was well-founded, he could respect that, he didn't let hatred cloud his judgement.

He already liked Iruka more than what seemed to be his assistant, he didn't know his name, and he didn't want to, just one look at him and he could already see the hatred the man help for Naruto, he would definitely have to stay clear of the assistant.

He then turned his intimidating gaze towards the class, the analytic look make more than a couple flinch, they could already see that he could see straight through them, they could also see he was miles above his whole class, hell maybe even the teacher wasn't on his level, Iruka looked a bit intimidated for a second before he remembered he was the teacher and went back to his normal smile.

He looked upon the class, it was a full of clan heirs, he could already see the heirs of the Inuzuka, Hyuga, Aburame, Uchiha, Akimichi, Nara and Yamanaka clans, the Inuzuka looked like most would, brash, impulsive, but was probably a good friend, the Hyuga heir looked very shy, he could tell by the way she reacted to his stare she was intimidated by him and had self-confidence issues, if he became friends with her he would try to solve those problems, the Aburame heir was like most, he looked mysterious, not shy but voluntarily distant, the Akimichi heir was, once again, the picture of what one would look like, he looked fine, the Nara was obviously bored, he could tell the Nara was smart by the way he had reacted to his stare, the Nara wasn't intimidated by it, he could tell there was no threat in it, he looked to be lazy though as he was starring out into the clouds before Naruto had made his presence known, the Yamanaka heir looked nothing like what you expect a heir to look like, she looked more dressed to be going to a date than anything, and the way he was staring at the Uchiha heir confirmed his suspicions, she was a fan-girl, nothing that couldn't be fixed, she just had to find her reason to fight and her determination and she would be fine. Speaking of the Uchiha heir, he was the only one who had returned his stare, the Uchiha obviously thought he was intimidating Naruto as he smirked a smug smirk in the middle of their stare and looked away, as if he thought Naruto had been intimidated by him, he could see the Yamanaka heir and a civilian child looking at the Uchiha as if he was some God, which further confirmed his thought that he would have to knock the Uchiha down a peg at least before he became a ninja, otherwise he would get himself killed.

"Ah, Uzumaki Naruto, you're here, there's a seat next to Shikamaru Nara if you will." Iruka told him. He nodded and headed towards his seat.

'Shikamaru huh, I have the feeling we'll be good friends.' he thought as he sat next to him and nodded towards the young heir, a nod which was returned.

"So, mind telling me the names of everybody here? I only know the last names of the heirs." he asked Shikamaru, who nodded and began to tell him everybody's names.

"Ok thanks, I'll make sure to remember them, now if you don't mind, I'll be taking my nap." he said, earning a silenced laugh from Shikamaru.

"I'm lazy too but even I wouldn't sleep on the first day, I hope you have someone at home who can teach you all this." replied Shikamaru, actually intrigued, this kid seemed like better company than most of his class, all the others, aside from maybe Choji were annoying.

"Nah, don't worry, I could probably be Chunin if I wanted to, but I want to make a couple friends, live a normal childhood, well, as normal as I can after 6 years of never going into the village." he answered, earning a surprised look from Shikimaru, 'Chunin?! He can't be serious, besides what's that about never going into the village? This dude's interesting, that's for sure.'

"Wait, chunin? What are you talking about, and what about never going to the village?" at this point Iruka's lecture was completely forgotten.

"I've lived in a house in the Konoha forest since I was born, I've been trained by Yoru-chan since I was four. I already have Jonin chakra control, know my chakra natures and have mastered one of them, I also have chunin speed, I can already do the Shunshin, and with more experience and physical I'd easily be Jonin level in Taijutsu and speed, although for Genjutsu I have nothing, I'm not interested in it anyways." He explained, smirking when he saw the shocked face of Shikamaru.

'Wow, if what all he just said is true then he definitely is interesting, that being an understatement, he said he's been training since he was 4, so in 2 years he's done all that, at his age? What the hell man.' Thought an impressed and surprised Shikamaru.

"I also have my family seals I can learn but those are too dangerous for now." He excluded the fact that he also had the Kyuubi in him, which was another source of power, his dad's heritage, since it was supposed to be a secret, and the part where he would also have shinigami powers.

"Wow, heh, you definitely are iinteresting, and not stuck up like that damned Uchiha." He told Naruto.

"Thanks, I guess."

"Hey Naruto! Are you listening?" He heard Iruka yell as he turned to face him.

"Yeah I was Umino-san, Shikimaru was just telling me everybody's names and introducing himself." He answered half-truthfully, the part where he was listning was a lie, the rest was true.

"More like you were introducing yourself and I was sitting there shocked." He heard Shikamaru mutter as he supressed a laugh.

"Hmm, whatever, just answer the question, who were the four Hokage of our village?" Iruka asked, honestly hoping that Naruto would give him the right answer, he didn't want to automatically believe this kid was some sort of demon.

"Easy enough, the first Hokage or Shodaime was Hashirama Senju, a member of the Senju clan, one of the most powerful clans to have ever existed, although the only living member of it is Tsunade Senju now, Hashirama was one of the, if the not the most powerful ninja of all time alongside Madara Uchiha, he was best known for his mastery over Mokuton, a release only he has ever shown, and one of the most powerful kekkei genkai ever, and his knowledge and mastery over the sage arts."

"The second Hokage or Nidaime was Tobirama Senju, Hashirama's brother, he was also extremely powerful, although not as much as his brother or Madara, he was mostly known for his incredible mastery over the water element and his sword, the Raijin no Ken."

"The third Hokage or, Sandaime, was Hiruzen Sarutobi, a member of the Sarutobi clan, known for having the summoning contract over the monkeys, he was known as Kami no Shinobi in his prime. He was also the student of both Hashirama and Tobirama Senju."

"The fourth, and final Hokage, or Yondaime, was Minato Namikaze, also called Konoha's yellow flash for his exploits in the Third Great Shinobi War, he was the fastest shinobi to have ever existed thanks to his jutsu, the Hiraishin. He died during the Kyuubi attack, sacrifising himself to kill the Kyuubi." He explained.

The whole class was silent in shock, Iruka especially, he had been expecting to receive the names of the Hokage, not a short biography on them, by a 6 year old no less.

He coughed to get the class's attention back on him, "That was excellent Naruto, I hope you were all listning." He said

The day passed, mostly with Naruto trying not to fall asleep, for fear of his ears being blown off by Iruka, he had come to an agreement with Shikamaru however, they would alternate window seats each day, so tomorrow Shikamaru would endure the torture.

And so he headed back home, ready to go back to the academy again tomorrow, and again, and again, and again...

Two years later...

The last two years had gone well for Naruto, he had made good friends with Shikamaru and often went to his clan compound to play shogi, or hangout, Shikamaru's father , Shikaku, was smart enough to see the difference between Naruto and the Kyuubi, he had also made friends with Hinata and, as he had said he would, fixed, well at least partially, her self-confidence issue, she still had trouble with strangers, but at least she spoke to her friends normally, Hinata's father, Hiashi, also saw the difference in between Naruto and the Kyuubi and had even asked Naruto if he could teach Hinata from time to time, to which he had happily agreed, he had made friends with Kiba Inuzuka, Chouji Akimichi and Shino Aburame, but he wasn't as close with them as he was with Hinata and Shikamaru. He had also tried making friends with Ino Yamanaka and Sakura Haruno, the two Uchiha Sasuke fangirls, he tried to break them of their fangirlish ways, but after a while he had just abandoned, those 2 didn't seem to work with reason, only listning to their Sasuke-kun. Speaking of Sasuke, he mostly ignored him, otherwise he would get pissed at him.

His training with Yoruichi and Kisuke had gone along great, he now would now be able to rival Yoruichi in hand-to-hand if he had more experience and could use his spiritual energy, same went for Kisuke in zanjutsu, he could stand up to him when he released his zanpakuto, although if Kisuke used the full power of his shikai he would get blown back.

He had also mastered his 3 elements, and had learned up to B-rank jutsus in all of them, he had also started with learning the basics in seals, although he would only start learning his clan seals in 2 years, when his godfather, Jiraiya of the Sannin, would come back to Konoha.

But that wasn't what he was focusing on at the moment, what he was focusing on, was the fact that he was stuck in a fifty meter deep hole, with his arms tied around his back and his chain of faith 1 hour afuckingway from completely being eaten, thinking about it he realised why Kisuke and Yoruichi hadn't let him do this before, hell, he was wondering why they were letting him do this now. 'DAMMIT KISUKE YOU CRAZY BASTARD WHY DID YOU LET ME DO THIS!'

His thoughts were disrupted as his chain of faith started eating itself again 'Wait, what? My chain is on its last links, I was supposed to have another hour!' he thought in a panic, the last think he heard was Yoruichi's panicked scream, and then,

Darkness.

Phew, okay sorry for the cliffhanger, to be honest the chapter was supposed to continue for a bit longer but I'm at wit's end right now because the document for this chapter corrupted not once, but TWICE, so I've had to fucking rewrite this chapter TWICE today, so I hope you'll apologise the cliff hanger.

The next chapter will either be updated on Monday or Tuesday so stay tuned. Thanks for 1000 views.

Thanks for reading.
