And here I will introduce the second location from the anime, Takumi Village, the village of artisans, though the characters will be original and that arc didn't happen in my story. I personally thought those weapons the Four Celestials used were awesome and decided I would use the village to give Naruto and Fu unique weapons like those. Their weapons will be largely based on the Fujaku Hiso Shoken (Soaring Twin Short Swords) or Double-edged swords in the Dub.
I also tried to add a bit more humor to this chapter. I think every good story needs a bit of everything.
I don't own Naruto.
Three weeks later, Naruto and Fu stood before their sensei in the clearing, ready for the next level of their training, their chakra control training finally completed. It had been annoying to both Naruto and Fu when they had tried to walk on the nearby lake and found themselves and all their clones struggling with it and unable to stand on the surface for more than a few minutes before falling in, although Naruto's control was good enough that he didn't need to redo the tree climbing exercise, Fu did, much to her chagrin. On the third day, their control was good enough that they were able to stand on the surface with no trouble, soon after they began to hold leaves to their bodies with chakra. During the last days of the three week period, they and their clones would spar while the held a dozen of leaves to their bodies with no trouble. After the three weeks were over, their chakra control was better than it had ever been, despite the seals. Jiraiya also applied Four Limb Weighted Seals to them both during the second week.
"Okay, Pervy Sage, now, what's the next level of our training." Naruto asked confidently.
"Okay, for the next step, your going to use a dozen clones for a while. You're both going to be learning to control large amounts of your nature chakra. Naruto-" Jiraiya pointed his thumb behind him to the waterfall. "-you're going to be using your chakra to split that waterfall in half with pure wind manipulation."
"Whoa…" was all Naruto could say as he gazed up at the waterfall.
"As for you, Fu, I want you to gather as much lightning as you can into an attack and slam it into the valley wall. I want you to cause as much damage with pure lightning chakra as you can."
"You got it, Ero-sensei."
"If you're ready, then get started. This is gonna take you a while and after your done with that, I've got a few scrolls for you with jutsu in your elements."
"Ero-sensei?" Fu said.
"Huh?"
"Think you could teach me that earth technique Naruto used when we sparred in Taki? That tunneling jutsu seemed useful."
"Sure, but for now, focus on you lightning manipulation." Fu nodded before she and Naruto got to work. Naruto could only barely part the water and Fu's lightning attack barely caused a crack in the wall. Neither was surprised, having already learned another element they had expected this.
A little over five months later, Jiraiya finally released the seals and his apprentices were beaming at their accomplishment. After they had completed their nature chakra exercises in two weeks, they had returned to their usual training method. One hundred clones divided into groups of twenty. The shadow clones were either reading what Jiraiya told them, which Naruto still didn't like but had come to accept, chakra control, taijutsu katas, kenjutsu which Fu had wanted to learn since she learned the Water Slicing Blade and Naruto had wanted to learn after seeing Fu and remembering Zabuza, and learning jutsu of their elements. After the first month, they had truly mastered the exercises. Naruto could cut the waterfall on pure chakra manipulation easily and Fu could pull off something similar to Chidori, but more powerful, focused around her whole arm and not really fit for practical use, still, she could now manipulate large amounts of the element easily and that's what mattered, she also had apparently gotten a few ideas from it but had filed them away for later. Naruto learned a few wind and fire jutsu and Fu had learned water and lightning jutsu, mostly C-ranks and a few B-ranks, Fu also learned the same three tunneling jutsu Naruto had and they both learned a fourth. They were about even now in terms of their elemental jutsu, it was easier for Fu to learn her elements because she had both affinities while Naruto only had the affinity to wind, so fire jutsu were harder for him to learn. Were it not for the Five Pronged Seal, it would have been much easier for them, but this had paid off.
Once they had completed their training at the end of the five months, Jiraiya had removed the seals and they saw results of doing months of training with them. They had spent the rest of the day adjusting to the lack of the seals and the results nearly took their breath away.
Everything they had learned had become almost effortless when it came to manipulating their chakra. They had decided to try the Clone Jutsu, at Naruto's suggestion, and actually succeeded. Learning the jutsu was not that awe-inspiring. It was the lowest rank technique after all and virtually useless, but until now it had been impossible to pull off, they would always overload the jutsu with too much chakra no matter how little chakra they tried put into it, now it was easy.
There was about a month and a half until the first year of their training trip was over, both Jinchuriki had grown quite a bit, though they dressed about the same. Naruto was now 5'0 and Fu was 4'9 and both looked slightly older. Right now, their taijutsu skills were high chunin to low jonin level, their kenjutsu was high chunin level, thanks to the five pronged seal their chakra control was kage level and they had mastered their elemental exercises. But they had yet to even begin to learn sealing arts, which were much more difficult than anything else they had learned so far, Naruto wanted to learn them to follow in his parents footsteps and Fu thought it would be useful for a Jinchuriki to know, they had also not yet begun to explore genjutsu, which proved to be something of a challenge since it wasn't their teacher's strongest subject and of course, the better they got, the slower further progress came.
Right now, the two Jinchuriki were standing before their sensei.
"Alright you two, for the rest of the month we're going to take a little break." Jiraiya said.
"What, are you kidding, Pervy Sage? We were just about to start with the strongest jutsu and we haven't started on genjutsu yet." Naruto yelled. He had been kind of excited as they were about to start learning A-rank techniques.
"Which is part of the reason were going to town, genjutsu's not exactly my specialty, I need to get some scrolls if you want to learn it. That aside, if you keep up like this, you'll burn out. You need to learn to take your time to relax." Jiraiya said and Naruto scoffed.
"Sounds to me like you're just making excuses to go do some 'research' Pervy Sage."
"Well of course, I've been stuck here with no young beauties, aside from Fu here for over five months."
"Flattery's not going to help you, Ero-sensei." Fu deadpanned.
"Well, anyway, I'm the teacher here and I say you two need some R and R, so were headed to a nearby town and staying there for two weeks, like it or not."
"Huh… fine. Maybe this will change your mind." Naruto conceded before making a handsign. "Sexy Jutsu!"
With a poof of smoke, Naruto was replaced with a tall, gorgeous blonde girl. Jiraiya barely managed to resist a nosebleed when he sensed Fu's feminine fury, obviously enraged at how degrading this was to women. 'Oh brat, you have no idea how badly you just messed up…'
"What's wrong, don't like what you see?" the blonde asked. Jiraiya responded by pointing at Fu with a smirk as Fu's fists were trembling and her eyes were shadowed by her hair. Naruto changed back and looked clueless at the cause of her anger.
"Hey, Fu, what's wrong?" Naruto asked, he was answered with a punch to the face that sent him flying into a the valley wall. By the end of the day, between Fu's anger and her explanation why that technique was insulting to women, Naruto had decided to never use that jutsu again… in the presence of a female at least.
Two days later, Naruto and Fu were wandering the town Jiraiya had spoken of. It was a lively place with many restaurants, bars, inns, casinos and brothels. They had some places for kids too, of course. The experience was good for Fu, this was the first time she stayed in a place where she wasn't treated like a demon in human form by its people for an extended period, Naruto however, constantly felt as if he had forgotten something important. They were currently searching for something to do, they had spent some time at a bar, their shinobi status allowed them to drink and they found they both had a very high tolerance to alcohol, most likely due to their status as Jinchuriki. They each still had 500 Ryo of what their sensei had… left… them… wait a minute.
"Crap!" Naruto suddenly shouted in a state of panic before he created a few dozen shadow clones and scattered, much to the surprise of Fu, who quickly took off after the real one.
"Wait! Naruto! What the hell's wrong with you!" Fu yelled as she chased after the blond.
"We need to find the Pervy Sage, fast! I just remembered something important!"
"What is it? Tell me what's going on!"
"The last time we were in a town like this, Pervy Sage used my money instead of his and left me broke, and he has our wallets!"
"WHAT? How could you forget about something like that?" Fu shouted, panicking as well now. Neither of them had a lot of money, it was all in their wallets. If that old pervert had spent it…
"It was a year ago, get off my back!" Naruto yelled back. "Found him!" he added as one of his clones had found him and dispelled. They ran to a bar and found Jiraiya where you would expect him, on a couch surrounded by women laughing, his face red from alcohol. Both their wallets were on the table, about half empty when they had been full last time they saw them. Both walked forward and picked up their wallets with twitching eyes.
"Hey kids, having fun?" Jiraiya said as if nothing was wrong here.
"Why would you do this?… I've seen your checkbook…" Fu said, eye still twitching as she looked at her wallet.
"Well, what can I say?" Jiraiya said looking sheepish.
"Nothing." Naruto answered as he and Fu both created a dozen shadow clones and Fu and her clones immediately created water swords. They were both sharing the same thought. The old pervert had to pay for using their money, especially when he was rich.
"Hey, hang on a minute." Jiraiya said holding his hands in front of him defensively as the girls wisely chose to run. The pair and their clones attacked without another word, Jiraiya didn't fight back, but he didn't let them hit him either, until a Naruto clone got behind him as he ducked under a slash from a water sword.
"Konohagakure's Most Secret and Sacred Technique: One Thousand Years of Death!" the Naruto clone called out, Jiraiya panicked, recognizing the 'technique' but it was too late and seconds later he was launched into a wall by the assault. Naruto smirked as their clones dispelled while Fu looked on in complete shock for a moment before she doubled over in laughter as Naruto made a V sign with a toothy grin in victory and Jiraiya lay on the floor in pain and mortification.
And so Jiraiya learned to never spend his pupil's money without their consent again…
It was around 4 PM on the first day of the second week. Naruto and Fu had made a mistake and spent most of their money. Having only 300 Ryo left between them, they walked around aimlessly, trying to find something to do, they considered training for the rest of the day, despite Jiraiya's wishes. As they wandered, they walked by a gambling parlor, there were several young to middle age men inside playing dice.
"Hey, want to play Cho-Han? We might be able to make some more money, at worst, we'll have some fun." Fu said.
"One of these places? Sure, I guess…" Naruto replied. They walked in and all the gamblers turned to them
"Hey kids, want in?" One of the gamblers asked. "Got any money?"
"A little, this enough?" Naruto asked showing what they had left.
"Sure kid, we'll take whatever money you got." He said with a smirk.
An hour later and Fu's eye was twitching, she had made 300 Ryo, Naruto on the other hand was laughing with a grin on his face, he had taken everything from the people he was playing against but the cloths off their backs.
"You've got to be kidding…" Fu said below her breath as she looked at Naruto and his winnings.
"Damn it, who's the idiot who let these two in here?" one of the gamblers asked, the others grumbling similar thoughts.
"Hey, Naruto, ever been to a casino?" Fu asked, getting an idea.
"Huh? Oh yeah once, when we were looking for Grandma Tsunade, it was after Pervy Sage spent all my money, but I won it all back with one coin."
"You won enough to fill that wallet of yours… with one coin?" Fu asked.
"Yeah, wh-" Naruto suddenly stopped talking before he and Fu smiled evilly.
"Hey guys, where's the nearest casino?" Fu asked with a sweet smile.
Everyone there thought the same thing. 'Poor bastards… they'll never know what hit em…'
Late that night, Jiraiya returned to their hotel room, sober but reeking of alcohol, to find Naruto and Fu with identical smiles on their faces.
"Huh, looks like you two had fun today, anything exciting happen, don't tell me I missed out on a research opportunity from you." Jiraiya said with a grin as he saw their smiles. They both turned to him, grinning at some shared secret while Naruto held back laughter. "Alright, what's got you so happy?" he asked before Naruto pulled out a sealing scroll and promptly opened it… and in a poof of smoke, about 30 million Ryo in cases appeared. "WHA- WHAT THE? WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? WHAT DID YOU DO?"
One explanation later.
"You made all this at a casino?" Jiraiya asked in disbelief. "So this is where Tsunade's luck went…"
Back in Konoha, Tsunade was sitting at a small round table with Anko and a fair amount of money between them, both holding cards when she sneezed.
"Someone must be talking about me." She noted.
"Probably the old pervert." Anko stated with a smirk.
"Lady Tsunade!" Shizune yelled as she ran into the room. "You shouldn't be doing this, I thought you'd stop when you became Hokage."
"Oh, lighten up Shizune, I'm only playing for small change."
"Yeah, but that's enough for dango, so hurry up and let me take your money." Anko said, still smirking.
"Aren't you cocky, this should wipe that smirk off your face." Tsunade said as she showed her hand, 4 tens and a queen. She reached for the money but is stopped by Anko.
"Not so fast Lady Hokage, straight flush." Anko said with a slight mocking tone as she showed her hand, an ace to a five. Shizune sighed and face palmed and Tsunade twitched. Shizune wished her master would learn to stop gambling. She really didn't understand it. Winning can be a thrill, but Tsunade almost never did, and when she did win it was usually a bad omen.
'…speaking of her, I'd better be far away when she hears about this… but I should send a shadow clone, she's bound to vent on the brat, should be quite the show.' Jiraiya thought to himself.
"Wait, what did you mean just now?" Fu asked.
"Huh, oh about Tsunade? Ever hear of the Legendary Sucker?" Jiraiya asked with a smirk. His teammate's misfortune always amused him.
"…" Fu was speechless upon finding out the Legendary Kunoichi and medic-nin and the Legendary Sucker, the woman who would gamble all her money away knowing she always lost were the same person before she noticed something and thought of all the S-class ninja she knew of. "… Do all really powerful ninja have quirks and eccentricities like this?" Fu asked, a bit afraid since she hoped to be an S class ninja one day. Jiraiya cupped his chin in thought.
"… Come to think of it, pretty much. Not all but most. Maybe it has something to do with the crazy training you need to reach this level… or maybe most people, with a few exceptions like the Fourth Hokage, need to be a little crazy to reach their full potential… but typically, the stronger you are, the greater the chance for some quirk or form of mental instability…" Jiraiya replied, much to the pair's horror. Were it not for the fact they had the Akatsuki after them, Naruto and Fu may have started reconsidering their life goals after hearing this. "But enough of such thoughts, I for one, am going to bed. Oh right, first, what do you plan to do with that money?"
"Huh, well, I hadn't really though of it, I guess I'll get a house, some ramen…" Naruto trailed off.
"And you, Fu?" Jiraiya said. Fu shrugged in response. "Well, I've got an idea."
"What are you planning, Pervy Sage." Naruto asked, narrowing his eyes.
"Oh don't worry, you both want to be swordsmen right?" they nodded, not sure what that has to do with it. "Well, after we're done relaxing here, I think we'll head to Takumi Village."
"Really! Alright, I bet they'll make us something awesome!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly, his readings had told him of Takumi Village, the Village of Artisans. They made the highest quality ninja tools and weapons in all the nations, they were even capable of creating weapons of the same grade as the blades of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. Fu seemed excited too.
"Yeah, if we can convince them to make weapons for you. Anyway, that's after our downtime, now let's get some sleep."
A week later, they had had their fun and were just about ready to begin their training again, but as Jiraiya said, they would take a side trip to Takumi Village. Naruto had gone to another casino and took for a small fortune… before he and by association, Fu and Jiraiya were banned. Making a total of 70 million Ryo which they opened an account for. Currently, they had just set foot in Takumi Village.
Takumi Village was a small village that lay deep in a bamboo forest. They walked through the village and were looked at oddly by the people, not nearly as bad as the looks the two Jinchuriki used to get in their old villages but it was still affecting them, reminding them of times they wished they could forget.
"Ero-sensei, why are they looking at us like this?" Fu asked.
"Probably because the ninja villages have been nothing but trouble for them." Jiraiya replied.
"Huh?" Naruto responded
"The people of Takumi are freelance weapon smiths, they don't have any real alliance with anyone and few ninja. They sell their tools to anyone who can pay."
"What's wrong with that? Sounds like a good deal to me." Naruto asked.
"It is… in times of peace." Jiraiya replied seriously. Before Naruto could ask what he meant, the old man stopped. They stood before a unique smithy, far more elaborate than it's competitors. "Alright, here we are. This is the smithy of Seimei, named after the man who founded this village, and the best weapon smith alive." Jiraiya said.
"Why do I get the feeling there's a catch?" Fu asked.
"Good instincts, if he doesn't like you, he won't make you a weapon." Jiraiya said as he knocked on the door.
"Come in…" a gruff voice said. Jiraiya opened the door and they stepped inside what seemed like a cross between a craftsmen's workshop, smithy and laboratory. Inside was a tall, lean old man in his late sixties. He had a triangular beard, shaggy gray hair and onyx eyes. He wore a gray shirt with matching pants, wooden geta sandals and a dark purple long coat "I guess you're here for a weapon."
"You got it, but not for me." Jiraiya said as he stepped aside and indicated his pupils.
"Huh? Are you kidding? These brats? You think their worthy of wielding a blade of this village, let alone one of mine? Don't make me laugh." Naruto growled and Fu narrowed her eyes.
"Don't underestimate us old man." Naruto started before taking a step forward, which seemed to amuse the old man.
"Hey now, don't tell me your going to attack me. Our village doesn't train ninja brat, we only learn to manipulate chakra for our craft. Beating on an old man with little skill as a ninja isn't exactly going to prove your worth." Seimei said, although said this in a mocking tone, as if he believed he would win in a fight between them. "Speaking of being an old man, I can't do all the work around here at my age and my apprentice left on a delivery, if you help out around here till he gets back in a few days, I'll consider it." Naruto was about to object when Jiraiya answered for him.
"Fine, there all yours."
"What? Pervy Sage are you serious?" Naruto asked indignantly.
"Look, if you want the best weapon, he's your guy, besides, think of it as strength training, no doubt he'll have you do some heavy lifting and I'll reapply your weight seals." Jiraiya replied with a smirk and a tone that said that though he was amused, this was final. Naruto grumbled.
"Ero-sensei, what are you going to do while were working on this?" Fu asked with narrowed eyes, sure he was just going to visit hot springs or use his transparency jutsu.
"Oh, don't you worry about me, there's plenty I can do in my spare time. Have fun now, you two." Jiraiya said as he walked off.
Twenty minutes later, they stood outside the shop were ready to begin.
"Alright brats." the old man said as he walked to a large open container, almost empty aside from a few pieces of charcoal. "Your first job is to cut bamboo from the forest and use it to make charcoal and fill this back up, can't work the forge if I don't have any fuel."
Three days later and the pair were questioning whether or not this was worth it. Seimei had them restock supplies, make repairs, basically a series of D-rank missions. As if that weren't bad enough, the guy treated them like dirt. Finally, Naruto had had enough.
"That's it! I'm not doing this crap anymore, I'll get a weapon somehwhere else." Naruto shouted as he threw down a load of bricks he was carrying and crossed his arms.
"Not from this village, you won't, I'm the closest to a leader this place has. I say the word and no one here would make a blade for you or your friend." Seimei said, shocking Naruto and Fu.
"What the hell's your problem, old man! You and everyone else here been acting like we brought the plague or something." Naruto yelled.
"Because your villages bring us nothing but war and death!" Seimei yelled, shocking the pair.
"What do you mean?" Fu asked, curious of what Seimei meant.
"In times of peace, everything's fine. We sell our weapons, some of the finest in all the continent to everyone. You ninja take those tools for granted, you show us no respect for our work, offer us no aid. When war comes, we are targeted so that the enemy doesn't use our weapons against them, even though we more than likely have made weapons for both sides. We have no true alliances, so we're left to fend for ourselves, and if we request aid from any village, we're reminded of our neutrality, regardless of what we've done for that village." Seimei explained, much to the pairs shock. Both take on sad, pensive expressions. "Our village has come close to destruction many times, and when peace arrives again, you ask for us to make weapons for you, when you attacked us unprovoked or denied us the help we needed. If we did actually make an alliance, all that village's enemies would make it a priority to destroy us. Your ninja villages have brought us nothing but trouble." the old man said before he began to walk away.
"I'll help…" Naruto said quietly.
"Huh?"
"I'll help your village whenever you need it… after I become Hokage!" Naruto said with determination.
"You want to be Hokage? Heh, as if a brat like you could ever hope to be a kage."
"Don't underestimate me, I don't quit and don't run, I'll become Hokage and protect the village… and I'll help your village whenever you need it " Naruto declared. "No one should have to watch as those precious to them die… and as Hokage, I'll do everything in my power to help you, for everything you've done for us and I never go back on my work, because that's my nindo, my ninja way!"
Fu, who's face was slightly tinged red, and Seimei said nothing for a few moments, Fu's respect for the boy had risen a bit from hearing this. After a moment, Seimei scoffed.
"… Huh, whatever you say kid…" the master weapon smith said as he walked away. "Finish with that, your done for the day." he turned around a corner to find Jiraiya leaning against it. Jiraiya stopped him as he walked by.
"Interesting kid huh?" Jiraiya said.
"Tch… why'd you bring such a loudmouth brat with you, like he'll actually follow through with any of that."
"Don't sell the kid short. Being Hokage is his life's dream. He lived a harsh life, he was an orphan shunned by everyone for something he had no control over. But no matter what happened, he never gave up. Kid's loyal to a fault and he always keeps his word, he'll follow through, provided his hotheadedness doesn't get him killed that is."
"…" Seimei doesn't respond and a moment later, he walked away.
The next day, they were called to Seimei's workshop. A young man wearing something similar to Seimei had joined them. He had brown eyes and hair.
"Ah, you must be the ones who helped my master when I was away, you have my thanks." The young man said sincerely, loyal to his teacher and aware of his advanced age.
"Your welcome." Fu said respectfully.
"Heh, yeah, now let's get out of here." Naruto said as he turned to the door.
"I thought you came here for weapons, kid." the old man said, surprising the two teens and his apprentice.
"Huh?" Naruto intelligently responded.
"I've decided to forge weapons for you two, so tell me what you want already." Seimei said. After a brief moments of celebration from Naruto, after which Seimei threatened to change his mind. They told him they wanted swords.
'Master Seimei hasn't specially forged a weapon for anyone in years, that these two were able to convince him…' the apprentice thought.
"Alright." Seimei said as he brought out two unique pieces of black metal. "Here. Focus your chakra in these." Naruto and Fu did as told. "Good, now there's just the matter of payment, 10 million."
"What?" Fu exclaimed while Naruto yelled "Are you serious? No way these things are-"
"Naruto, Fu, stop complaining. Brat, remind me how much you won at the casinos. Trust me, it'll be worth it." Jiraiya said.
"It better be." Naruto grumbled as he got out his checkbook.
"Yeah, or I'll do that 'One Thousand Years of Death' thing… with my water sword." Fu added, Even if it wasn't her money, she didn't want Naruto to waste this kind of money on her.
Jiraiya paled slightly, knowing she'd do it and Naruto would help her. If he knew it was coming it wouldn't be too hard to avoid, but he had to sleep sometime!
Seimei grinned as he was given the check.
"Wonderful, your swords will be ready in a month."
For the rest on the month, they returned to the valley and trained. They learned some new jutsu and their kenjutsu skill improved. Jiraiya had also began to teach them genjutsu as he had bought some scrolls while they were with Seimei from the nearby Tanigakure, which they found surprisingly easy, likely due to their unique chakra control training.
They had just arrived back at Takumi, they made their way to Seimei's smithy and knocked on the door. They got permission and went in.
"Well, it's about time you got back. I finished three days ago." Seimei said as he walked deeper into the workshop to retrieve their weapons.
"I haven't forgotten my threat, Ero-sensei." Fu said menacingly. Jiraiya put on a strong front but he was very afraid of her threat.
"Here ya go." The weapons maker said upon his return carrying two swords. Both were jian, both about 28 inches long in brown scabbards. The first had black wrapping around the handle and a green circular gem in it's gold guard. The second also had a gold guard and white wrapping with a green gem in the same location as the first.
"Whoa…" Naruto said as he and Fu took their swords. Fu was speechless as she examined hers, the one with the black wrapping.
"Boy, your blade is called the Hisho Taichi (in English: Soaring Long Sword). With it, you will be able to freely manipulate the wind. Once you master it, you'll be able to use most of your wind jutsu with just a swipe of the sword and chakra manipulation, as well as fire blades of wind, all with minimal chakra. It will also allow you to counter and negate, or even redirect wind attacks."
"Awesome…" Naruto said in awe as he drew the sword and looked at its blue blade.
"And you, girl, your sword is called Okibi no Yaiba (Sword of Blazing Fire). Basically the same, but it uses fire and it can also absorb fire based attacks."
"That's great and all… but I don't have the fire element."
"I know that, that's why I had you focus your chakra into that metal. The swords can convert normal chakra into their element. Just channel normal chakra through it and it will produce fire as powerful as any ninjutsu. Also, you can channel other elements through the blade, like lightning for instance, for normal effect."
"Well, I gotta say, you live up to your reputation." Fu said as she drew her sword and looked at the black blade.
"Like I need you to tell me that." Seimei said as he walked away. "Hey… I never got your names."
"Huh, oh sorry, I'm Naruto Uzumaki, the Future Hokage." Naruto said.
"Fu, formerly of Taki." Fu said.
"Heh, I'll remember those names… try not to get yourselves killed out there." the old man said as he disappeared deeper into the smithy. He didn't know why, but he had a feeling that boy would live up to his dreams and that he would be hearing both their names again.
"Alright kids, seeing as those weapons are dangerous, let's head back to the valley. Once you get the hang of those swords, we'll get started on your tenants chakra. Then I'll start teaching you sealing jutsu." Jiraiya said to his students.
I hope I did that conversation between Seimei and Naruto well.
Please review. Remember, if you think I did something wrong or poorly, don't just say that I suck or something, tell me what I did wrong so that I can improve.
