Author's note: Hey guys. I've noticed that a lot of people want to know who is in the harem and whose not. Now I know some will be disappointed to know Hinata is in it. For those who hate her because of her stuttering and her mannerisms well luckily for you she won't be like that. She will be the definition of OOC. Now the other two choices that made are Samui and Mikoto. There are about four to seven choices left. Since I'm extremely indecisive on who to choose I will put a poll up and let you decide. I am making the rules right here and now. The beautiful, elegant, amazing pinkette known as Sakura will NOT BE IN THE HAREM. So if you hope to see Sakura as Naruto's mate, well you're looking at the wrong story.

It is not because I don't like her (much). It's just that it is easy for her to be a plot device. Tsunade will not be in it either. Haku will be a choice. Ino most likely won't be a choice.

The Kyuubi doesn't know Minato. She does know who Kushina is and knew she was pregnant. She doesn't know Naruto is their kid. She doesn't even know that Kushina's child made it that night. Anyway I want to get to the story so go to the page and vote. I don't own Naruto.

Previously on The Legendary swordsman

"...So overall Gaki, we all have a job to do. We are not only going to teach you kenjutsu, and chakra control. We are going to teach the other specialties that we have. So Gaki don't worry your malnourished body. We are going to get you into shape and get you ready to be the greatest Hokage."

Naruto jumped up and yelled, "Yea, I'm going to be the greatest Hokage to ever exist, Datteabyo" The Seven looked at Kisame. None of them knew Kisame could be charismatic. He just shrugged his shoulders as he himself didn't know. This boy has started to bring out different sides of them that didn't know existed. As time has gone on Naruto is slowly changing for Gaki (brat) to Otouto (brother).

Chapter Four: The Ice is Forming

Naruto woke up at five a.m. As he stretched he saw a notice right on the desk next to him. He grabbed it and saw it was instructions or a schedule. It read:

5:00 A.M.-7:00 A.M.: Physical Fitness with Zabuza

7:10 A.M.- 9:00 A.M.: Cooking with Kisame

9:10 A.M.- 12:00 P.M.: Sealing with Mangetsu

12:10 P.M.- 1:00 P.M.: Lunch with the team

1:10 P.M.- 3:00 P.M. Sewing with Kushimaru

3:10 P.M.- 5:30 P.M. Blacksmith with Jinin

5:45 P.M.- 6:25 P.M. Dinner with the team

6:35 P.M.- 7:35 P.M. Medicine with Jinpachi

7:45 P.M.- 8:45 P.M. Diplomacy with Ameyuri

8:45 P.M.- 9:45 P.M. Play time with any member

Naruto looked at the note. He noticed that he only had a few minutes to get ready and get to Zabuza. He took a quick shower. He ran out of his hotel room. He ran as fast as he possibly could. He cut corners and turn to see Zabuza outside in the training ground just behind the hotel. His eyes went wide as he saw he only had one minute to make it there. He ran his little heart out and made it just in time.

His heart was pounding hard. He was panting really hard. He also noticed that the training ground here is actually quite hot instead of cold. He looked at Zabuza. Zabuza had an impassive look on his face. He looked at a watch that Naruto didn't know he had. He said, "Ready for training, Gaki?"

Naruto nodded his head saying, "Yosh, I'm ready for anything you can throw at me! Ouch!" Naruto stopped speaking as he felt a weapon hit him. Naruto looked up at Zabuza with wide eyes. Zabuza simply shrugged. He said, "I thought you were ready for anything I throw at you. Lucky for you it was only a blunt kunai.

Now let's start your training. Come here we are going to start by doing fifty push ups. They will be five sets of ten. Ready begin!"

Naruto dropped down to the ground and started to do incorrect push ups. Zabuza stopped Naruto and grabbed him up. Naruto looked at Zabuza in surprise. Was he doing the push ups wrong? This is what he saw some of the Jonin do. He said, "Ne Zabu-sensei is that how we are supposed to do it right?"

Zabuza just sighed as he shook his head. He noticed that Naruto wasn't taught physical training. It looks like all he could do was run. Yet even then it was more of a survival run. It wasn't a proper run. He sighed as he wondered what did this boy do to get this treatment.

He said, "Gaki, a push up is having your feet together, your butt straight not poking out, and making sure your body doesn't hit the ground. Like this." Zabuza got on the ground and showed him the proper way to do it. Naruto's eyes went wide due to the fact that he realized his mistakes.

So the five year old followed his new sensei. He adjusted himself to the way Zabuza was positioned. As soon as he got it Zabuza yelled, "Stop". Naruto promptly stopped. He said, "Ok, Naruto I want your body to be able to learn this position. So for the next two minutes your going to stay there. Every time you fall you will start all over again. Starting now. GO!"

Naruto stood there trying to be as strong as possible. This unfortunately lasted about 30 seconds when Naruto started to tremble. 15 seconds later he couldn't hold and fell to the ground with an oof. Naruto had a disappointed look on his face. How was he supposed to be Hokage if he could not stay in a single position. He could not even do a single push up right.

Naruto snarled which sounded like a small roar and got back into position. Zabuza on the other hand didn't expect the boy to stay there for two minutes. After all this was his first time. If was able to do it he would be extremely surprised. He did however like the fact Naruto had determination to get up and try again.

It has been about an hour now and Naruto has been making progress. He can hold it for a minute forty-five seconds. His sweat was beating down his bony chest. His determination showed that he would not stop. This made Zabuza extremely happy. Zabuza unlike many people liked the student who didn't get it the first time but they kept trying and trying until they got it right.

They were called hard workers. They don't stop because they couldn't do it. They will not have a pansy student. Nope, with the influence of the Seven and the desire to be Hokage, Naruto will be a hard working, powerful ninja. He smiled at that. Although it is always a dream to be a powerful ninja, it is much better to have a student that became even more powerful shinobi than you. You will go down as the teacher who taught the best.

He said, "Naruto, it's time fore you to go to Kisame. He most likely will be in the kitchen. Tomorrow we will work on some other stuff. Don't be late. If you are late by even a second I will make you run fifty laps around without stopping!" If Naruto was intimidated by this statement, he surely didn't show it. He had a determined look on his face.

He said, "Hai, Zabu-sensei, I will be here earlier than today." He did a salute and ran out to his next destination. Zabuza had a happy grin on his face. He said to himself, "the boy is going to be great if he keeps this up. We're going to have to humble him before he get big headed. Well back to work."

Zabuza stood on his middle fingers and did vertical push ups.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Kisame XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kisame was patiently waiting for Naruto. He knew Naruto had sometime to get here from the training ground but still. He saw Naruto coming in the kitchen panting. Kisame had a toothy shark grin.

He said, "Naruto, welcome to Shark's Kitchen. Here is my domain. This hotel is actually own by us so we all have our own special place to train and do our specialty. Now here is where I will teach you how to cook and everything that comes with it.

Today's lesson is more of an introduction. When I teach how to cook, I do more hands on training. But because you are a little gaki, I won't do that just yet. I don't want you cut yourself with a knife." He laughed at the end. Naruto thought that was just messed up but didn't say anything about it.

Kisame continued with a serious face, "Now Naruto you are going to learn food language or lingo. The words that must be instilled in your brain are calories, carbohydrates, sugars, fats, sodium, and protein. These are the words of the day. These are what supposed to be in your diet. I am going to explain what they all do starting with calories.

Calories are units of measurements for energy specifically heat. Calories are the potential energy that we store in our bodies to use for other things. Human beings need these calories to survive. We use these calories to make our heart pump blood, our lungs breathe in air etc. Yet as in anything too many calories can be a bad thing. As I said it stores inside your body. If you don't do anything like exercise and sit around or if you eat more calories than you use, you get well fat.

Fats are not exactly easy. There are two different kinds. One is called saturated fat. That is the bad kind. They are carbon without being double bonded with hydrogen. You don't need to know what that means yet. They are used in cooking oils, and things like that. Unsaturated fat are the double bonded ones they are the good fat that stores your fat. It helps us for a just in case moment where we have no food.

He went on about carbs, protein, and the important things. He needed to tell Naruto a truth. He said, "Now Naruto the reason you are malnourished is because of the fact that you have not been eating or you have not been eating the right thing. From what I have noticed from the way you carry yourself, it seems like you only have been eating ramen. Don't get me wrong, I don't have any problems with ramen. It is really delicious but too much of it will raise your sodium levels and you don't get any nutrients. "

Naruto's eyes went wide. How could Kisame tell that just by looking at him? He tried to say something but nothing came out. This gave Kisame the ability to give his toothy grin. Kisame said, "Gaki, I bet you want you want to know how I can tell just by looking at you. It's pretty simple but right now is not the time. Well since you learned the most important thing about the cooking, I will teach you some of my kenjutsu style."

Kisame pressed a button under the kitchen table. Suddenly a wall behind the table was lifted up. The table slid to the right giving Naruto and Kisame a pass through. Naruto's eyes opened up in surprise. He thought that kind of stuff happens in the movies.

In the room, the floors were separated by land and water. Across the walls was a clear glass aquarium. The aquarium have sharks of all types swimming around. On the back wall there was an open scroll with a kanji symbol on it. It said 'Shark Summoning'. Below it there was weapon racks that had different weapons from a spear to a scimitar.

Naruto's eyes were widened by this room. Kisame smirked as Naruto was absorbing the room. Kisame said, "Gaki, welcome to SHARK. SHARK stands for Survival Harness Abilities Realm Killing. Don't worry about the Killing part. In this room or well for me realm I train with the sharks. I use the sharks for combat as they are versatile. Their mere nature is to kill."

Naruto looked at Kisame with wide eyes. He asked, "Same-sensei, why sharks? What made you say, 'ok I'm going to train with sharks'?"

Kisame laughed as he said, "Now that's a story to tell. It begins with my family ancestry. The legend goes that there was an almighty shark demon. He well mated with my ancestor and the rest is history. "

Naruto whined, "Same-sensei, why was it so short? I know it was more dramatic, action, or something. Come on sensei."

Kisame had a tick mark on his forehead. The boy wanted to pry his family history. Or did he want a bed time story? He shook his head and sighed. He said, "Gaki, I'm not going into detail. Anyway right over there is the shark summoning scroll. Heh if your good enough I might let you sign the scroll and summon them."

Naruto was confused as he never seen a summon that he could remember consciously. As a result he said, "Ne, What do you mean summoning, Same-sensei? What is a summon anyway? What can you do with a summon anyway?" Kisame's eye started to twitch. He could not get his head around the fact that Naruto, a kid from Konoha did not know what a summoning was. For Kami sakes, The Sannin, Sandaime, and even the Yondaime had a summoning contract. He had a small frown on his face.

He said, "Naruto, a summoning contract is a contract in which an animal or something bonds with you. Sometimes you are able to summon weapons. Now I won't go much into it because this is not the class for that. In fact, its time for that class in fifteen minutes. Next class we will work on stealth and swimming. Now get going. His room is all the way upstairs."

Naruto made a two finger salute to his sensei and ran. Kisame just shook his head as Naruto was very energetic. Kisame smirked as he pulled out a fish out of the water. He said to himself, "If this isn't karma, then I don't know what is."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX Naruto XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Naruto made it up the stairs. He saw Mangetsu sitting in the lotus position. Mangetsu's eyes were closed as he was concentrating. He knew Naruto was right in front of him. He said, "Naruto-kun, sit down in lotus position." Naruto did as he was asked and wondered what was in front of him.

Mangetsu smirked as he said, "It seems like you want to know what all this stuff in front of you is." Naruto's eyes went wide as Mangetsu did not even open his eyes to make an observation. Mangetsu once again smirked. He loved doing this to his otouto, Suigetsu. Suigetsu was always creeped out by it.

Mangetsu said, "I bet you want to know how I can observe you like that. Well Naruto welcome to the world of fuinjutsu. The world of seals is an intricate part of the ninja world. It is unfortunately a dying trade. The world of sealing is so amazing. For example, you can make a sword sentient or you can make explosion tags and so much more. Before I go into deep understanding of sealing, are there any questions?"

Naruto thought about it for a moment. He remembered what Kisame-sensei said to him. He asked, "Getsu-sensei, how were summoning scrolls created. How can you create a bond with animals? That's so cool. How many bonds can you have with animals? How many summonings do you have?"

By this time, Naruto was jumping in excitement. Mangetsu just shook his head. Yup Naruto is just like Suigetsu. He started to laugh as he started to answer Naruto's questions. He said, "Your first two questions will be answered when you get older. The way to summon takes a while to understand. The next question about how many bonds you can have is easy to answer. You can have a hundred of them but you must be extremely talented and everything has to be aligned. Normally a person has one or two. I personally have one contract, the alligators."

Naruto was surprised that you could have hundred of summons. Mangetsu continued, "Naruto-kun, the art of fuinjutsu is not an easy skill. The prerequisite for fuinjutsu is A) the ability to be precise, B) the ability to use chakra. C) to understand the concept of failure. D) the ability to see everything for what it is and what it isn't. That means the notion of "ignorance is bliss" must be thrown out of the window.

These are things you will eventually learn and unfortunately experience. As a result of these prerequisites you can't learn fuinjutsu yet. What we will learn today is the origin of fuinjutsu. Later I will teach you precision of kanji symbols. Ok Naruto?"

Naruto nodded. He was slightly disappointed that he won't learn the full art of fuinjutsu but hey he is only just five. So to learn anything about it is amazing. So he looked Mangetsu in the eye and was ready to learn.

Mangetsu smirked slightly. He coughed and started to speak. He said, "Ok Naruto, the world of seals is used all around the world. For example, hand signs. Hand signs are actually seals that use the zodiac symbols. Now the word SEALS is an acronym or a word that is made up of the first letter in a group of words. SEALS stands for Symbols Exhibiting Anomaly of Life Sustainment.

What this means in a nutshell is that seals are mere symbols that were given the ability of life. Now remember when Ameyuri taught you that the main life force of the world is chakra, what does that mean Naruto?"

Naruto thought about it for a moment. His eye went wide in realization. He said, "If seals are symbols that are alive, then that means that it has chakra. But if that is the case then how is it possible for symbols to hold chakra? Is it special ink, paper, or what?"

Mangetsu replied, "Very good observation Naruto-kun. No it is not the ink or the paper. It is actually the person and the symbols themselves. For example if you write "Hi (Fire)" on a piece of paper and add chakra, nothing happens. Yet if you write "heat" and then add chakra too it the paper will get hot."

Naruto understood it somewhat. He was not one without questions. He asked, "Why is that heat can make it so the paper can be hot but the fire can't"

"Well it is simple yet complex, Naruto-kun. You see I can make it so fire can appear but it is not easy. You see contraire to popular belief that seals use complex kanji words, they actually use basic words. But the words must flow to get what you want. Now some words have the ability to hold in more chakra than others.

For example the word combust does not have the ability to hold the same amount of chakra as the word explode. Now with that in mind we are going to start writing kanji and calligraphy. These two arts will help your seal training. Lets start by writing

simple kanji words. Your strokes must be perfect. I don't expect you to get it at first but-"

He was stopped mid sentence as Naruto was actually drawing beautiful kanji. It was amazing how each stroke was practically perfect. It was extraordinary that a five year old can draw so well. When Naruto finished the Kanji, it said 'Godaime Hokage'.

Mangetsu was very surprised. This kanji sign looked amazing. It looks like Naruto was talented and a natural at seals. Then again he is the Yondaime Hokage's son and an Uzumaki. Still this is an amazing thing. He said, "Naruto that's beautiful! When did you learn how to write Kanji? You know it's not easy to write Kanji perfectly."

Naruto beamed at the praise. He said, "Well when Jiji was away this one time I saw a book that said, "The Art of Kanji". I started to read it and was hooked on it. I tried to copy one of the kanji and got it down one my first day. It was my very first accomplishment. As I got better I saw two more books just like it. So ever since then I carry the books with me."

He pulled the book out of his pocket. The book's covering has a circle with different kanjis forming it. On top of the circle there was an X formation made up of kanjis. It said on top of the X, 'The Art of Kanji'. On the bottom it said, 'By Jiraiya, the Toad Sage and Minato Namikaze, The Yellow Flash'.

Mangetsu could not believe it. These books are the creations of the two greatest fuinjutsu masters to ever exist. He tried to open his mouth to speak but couldn't right in front of him represent the past of Jiraiya, the present of Minato, and the future that can be Naruto. He would never take those books away from Naruto as it is the honor of being a fuinjutsu master to never take from another master. They are Naruto and hopefully with his guidance, Naruto will be the best seals master to exist.

Author's note: Ok done with this chapter. This chapter was only going to show those three. It was to show the 3 things that Naruto will have with him throughout the show. He has determination, quest for knowledge, and talent for fuinjutsu.

Now with this story there is going to be a time skip of six months. I will show how his over all training will go. He won't be super strong because he would only be six and I don't want a steroid six year old that can kill everyone like that. Where's the fun in that? The poll is up so please go vote. I will keep it up for about a month.

With that being said, I'm not introducing any of the girls just yet. I don't want Naruto to be romancing women at like 6 years old other than the occasional 'OMG, he's so cute' even then that's a little iffy. Also next chapter I might go into what's going on in Konoha...

Like always read and review

Ja for now
