(Flashbacks and locations)

The Slums were caught off guard. Generally they received information from Chunin and Jonin who chose to drink near the slums. They even had a few plants in the Shinobi force. Alas, none in the ANBU so they were caught off guard as Jiraiya and the twenty four man heavy duty squads of the ANBU came crashing down on them.

The fighting was fierce, terrible and above ridiculously lopsided. Practically all of the confrontations the ANBU won, but not before gaining ingenious respect for the citizens of their under city. "We're looking for the guys in charge."

"You mean the Kage-Sama? Surprised? We use the same titles as you guys. They won't be happy with this. Why you here anyway?"

Jiraiya's eyes hardened "Uzu…"

"The Jinchuriki Kid? We're not stupid Jiraiya-Sama. We know who he is. He's a good kid, sure a little loud and with cheese in his ears than brains. We help him, he helps us. Mutual exchange an all that."

Jiraiya made a gesture and the ANBU dropped their prisoners "Take us to the Kage."

"What's in…"

"The Godaime is ordering a purge on anyone who hindered him…"

"Oh…"

(Tenten and Naruto)

Tenten was enjoying herself…Naruto…Not so much. They had started with taijutsu and Tenten had taken it upon herself to correct his abysmal taijutsu technique.

That was when Tenten realised. Naruto Uzumaki was a true chakra monster, his reserves were through the roof! He was also the perfect shurikenjutsu partner. Unlike Lee and Neji who were nearly Tokubetsu Jonin in speed, allowing them to cover the ground easily. She was Tokubetsu in shurikenjutsu.

She couldn't beat her team mates but she could make them take her seriously. However, Naruto the biggest Chakra Tank that she knew of was perfect. He could spawn hundreds and thousands of clones and still enough for those clones to spawn clones of themselves, coupled with his skill in the replacement Jutsu…It was a proper challenge!

As they trained, taught and mentored one another. Naruto possessed a ridiculously powerful body based learning rather than mental learning. What this meant for Tenten was that her skills of teaching or pulling his skills up to a decent enough level was easier. She hit his clones, they dispelled and eventually the pair found the secret to the Kage Bunshin.

Kyuubi watched with interest. "Interesting method…Warden. Slow improvement…maybe you won't be a disappointing avatar." The Kyuubi watched as his Avatar trained with the bun haired girl.

"She's…acceptable." He rumbled to himself. She possessed exceptionally dense and strong reserves of chakra, he thought back to the Pot, Golden Rope, Gourd, Fan, Sword and Staff that his father wielded back before he had accumulated the mass he had now.

He shuddered slightly the Amber Pot was the only inanimate object big enough and spacious enough to contain Himself and Gyuki together. Sage above Gyuki and He had done more than enough when younger to warrant being trapped in there. As for the Gourd it could safely contain up to any four of his younger siblings at one time. Kyuubi shook his head, those were good times before these pathetic Ningen decided to weaponise him and his siblings.

Kyuubi snapped his thoughts back to the here and the now. The Bun Haired Girl, she would make a decent wielder of the Fan of Five Elements. Of course He would have to modify it so it didn't kill her straight away, oh and his Avatar would have to retrieve it first.

The Kyuubi pulsed an ever so small amount of yokai out. The deal worked to ways. The Avatar could pull up to three tails of his own accord, but he himself the moment the boy manipulated the yokai could push more out…Hypothetically he could push nine tails of chakra out, but as the thoughts came to his mind the seal began to pulse ominously.

(Outside)

Naruto just managed to grab Tenten's wrist, twist her arm and with a firm grasp on her pants and top flipped her. Thankfully it was onto the ground but the actual flip would have been to break the back of the one grappled.

However, Tenten wasn't trained by arguably the strongest Taijutsu practioner in Konha. As Naruto flipped her, she spun and the hold fell away, she brought her foot down in an axe kick that should have broken Naruto's arm but as she made eye contact, she swore she saw his eyes turn slitted and faintly red.

The kick came into contact with thin air, Tenten's eyes widened as Naruto's speed literally increased. That was on top of his already high Jonin Stamina and High Chunin speed.

Naruto gasped. The yokai in his system…It was AMAZING. Naruto honestly felt more alive than ever before. "Are you ready Tenten?"

Tenten nodded "Bring it on."

Naruto blurred, he could be going faster. His body was screaming at him to go faster but for now he was resisting. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"

Naruto multiplied into a hundred. Tenten grabbed her bo-staff. "If he gets his hands on me…I'm finished. Then he'll turn this into an attrition battle which I'll surely lose. Oh well…Let's do this."

The Naruto swarm rushed her. Tenten twirled the bo-staff around she brought it down hard four times and dispelled four Naruto clones in an instant.

The spar began to intensify as Naruto began to use more unique and dangerous methods to try and get into Tenten's guard. "Alright! That's an astonishing display of youth people! Break it up."

Like that Naruto's kick towards Tenten's face was avoided and the next thing Naruto knew was that he was flat on his face. Naruto came round to see an older looking Lee standing with Tenten, Neji and surprisingly Lee himself. "Who…"

"I am the Sublime Green Beast of Prey! The Leaf's Noble Gentleman! The Leaf's Most Physical Jonin! I am Might Guy! Jonin of Team 10." Declared the newly named Might Guy.

Naruto nodded "Gai-sensei…I'm…"

"Uzumaki Naruto, Genin Team-Seven under my youthful Rival, Kakashi…And other things." Guy finished softly.

"Tenten knows the full thing…Rather keep it that way." Guy nodded.

"What brought you to this training ground?"

Naruto nodded to Tenten "Tenten has been…helping me out. Helping me with taijutsu."

Guy nodded "I am willing to help…" Just then another presence appeared. The five shinobi spun and it was Jiraiya.

"Gaki…Everything's been sorted." It was then that the Shinobi noticed faint traces of blood.

"Everything alright E…Jiraiya-Sannin?" Naruto asked. He decided to keep things polite. Tenten's opinion of Naruto increase.

"Never you worry, gaki…Speaking of which, due to what happened with Team Seven…"

That piqued Team Ten "Naruto what happened? You've kinda been quiet about all of it." Tenten asked.

"Well, one member shoved his hand through my chest…twice and snapped my neck. Currently Orochimaru's rent boy. The other said rent boy fangirl who will more than likely try and kill me for not bringing rent boy back but she'll fail and most likely be dead. So my Sensei noticing the proper lack of coherent team work will or is liable to dissolve the team sending us fuck knows where but I'm probably in reserves, jail or with some cunt of a Jonin-sensei or hates me for who I am and S-Rank secrets."

Team Ten nodded "You mean like the term Jinchuriki." Neji stated.

Naruto nodded. Neji was about to continue when he looked at Jiraiya, the Sannin nodded "I looked it up. Means Power of Human Sacrifice…What that means I don't know but and quite frankly I don't want to know."

Naruto grinned "Simply they're weapons. Their service to the Village begins at birth. They're hated because quite frankly to make one lots of blood needs to be spilt."

Neji's eyes widened "I won't say more." He then bowed deeply "I am sorry for my words in the Chunin Exams."

Naruto nodded "No apology needed. Anyway why are you here? You owe me an explanation."

Jiraiya sighed "I do. Anyway with the dissolution of Team Seven, Tsunade has ordered me to take on an apprentice…Also, whilst I'm here Guy, as a member of the Sannin I am requesting a demonstration of your teams fighting capabilities and it is up to my disgression if any further training is required."

Guy gulped slightly. He had a feeling this wouldn't go to well for them…He looked at Tenten, was he really a bad sensei? He didn't want to lose his students…yet. "Is there another way?"

Jiraiya looked at him with a harsh eye "Anything you want to say?"

"I haven't…managed to find a suitable ninjutsu practitioner to help Tenten…She's been looking to enhance her shurikenjutsu."

Jiraiya nodded and turned to Naruto "Sit this out. I need to test this team of Genin."

Naruto winced it was blatantly evident that Jiraiya was holding back. But the three Genin they were impressive, it was evident that they worked well as a team. However, everything went slightly pear-shaped when Tenten pulled out her scrolls and as she went to launch her twin-rising dragons did Jiraiya halt the duel and with ease and precision of a Seal Master he disabled the attack and the scrolls fell open.

Tenten and Naruto were in shock and awe of it and Jiraiya in raw fury. The four Genin were pinned by the raw amount of chakra being emitted, Guy was also effected but to a far lesser degree. "Genin Higurashi!"

Tenten snapped to attention "Jiraiya-Sama!"

"Who taught you Fuuinjutsu?"

Tenten rattled of three teachers with the last one being "Umino Iruka."

Jiraiya nodded "Anyone else?"

"Tou-san."

Jiraiya's eyes widened, he remembered Higurashi Hiro. Good student, unfortunately overshadowed by Namikaze Minato and Hyuuga Hiashi. Out of the three of them he was closest to Hiro and Minato. In Minato, Jiraiya saw himself and in Hiro, Jiraiya saw what he wanted but couldn't have. Minato was the laidback spirit needing something to focus him on and Hiro already had it.

So when it came for Jiraiya to choose an apprentice, he chose Minato. He had seen how Hiro had become smitten over one of the bukijutsu corps kunoichi. Jiraiya grinned to himself, he was grateful that his students had managed to have families. "Hiro-chan, was never the best at Fuuinjutsu…You should have just learnt from your father."

Tenten looked at the Sannin with awe "You know tou-san?"

"He was one of my Genin…Anyway I recommend you not use this formulae, the fact you've managed to not kill yourself or your team is incredible."

Jiraiya turned back to Team Gai "You've trained them well Gai. Very well, but why don't they have any jutsu aside from the Three?"

Guy gulped "Rock Lee, possesses no capabilities in Gen or Ninjutsu so I have been building on his Taijutsu and giving him the basics in bukijutsu…as for Hyuga Neji…"

Jiraiya sighed "I'll deal with the Elders."

He turned to Tenten "Higurashi Tenten, I am willing to give you tuition in Fuuinjutsu for helping me get Uzumaki Naruto up to an acceptable level before I train him."

Tenten nodded "I can do that."

"Genin Uzumaki."

Naruto snapped to attention "Get Higurashi's reserves up. I want her able to create five Kage Bunshin. Guy, bring your other two genin they are being sent into rotation."

Jiraiya turned back. He smiled a secretive smile. His Godson couldn't go wrong with the Higurashi in his corner.
