Naruto the 4th Reborn
AN:Guys im wondering if I should give Naruto a kekkei genkai or not,I can do the story both ways.
Chapter 4:Jailer and Prisoner
Hokage Tower
5 day timeskip
"Kakashi why have you come here?"asked Hiruzen with a confused expression on his face."Hokage-sama,Naruto's training has made him stronger at an absurd rate,he has been training with Shikamaru and Choji and sparring with them,he has made the shunshin usable in battle against high genin to low chunin level,mastered the shadow shuriken jutsu,has started to perfect his wind style jutsu that he has learned and is now on the 2nd step of fire style training"Kakashi said with a disappointed look on his face that the Hokage did not miss
"That is great so why do you look so upset Kakashi?"the Hokage asked with worry."Well Hokage-sama,Naruto has grown more distant from his team as his training progressed,he doesn't talk to them as much,his crush on Sakura is gone and he rarely talks on missions to them unless neccesary."the jonin said sadly.
"The other thing is that Sasuke has gotten a lot more agitated at Naruto because he feels that Naruto thinks he is much better than very proud of Naruto's progress but the problem is that he is growing more distant and the team is falling apart,Naruto was the heart that brought the team together and if the heart falls everything falls"Kakashi said with a hint of worry in his voice
"Kakashi none of this is your fault,do not blame yourself but I will want to have Naruto meet me after team practice today."Sarutobi said still processing all the information.
Team 7 training grounds
"Sasuke,haven't you noticed things have been different with Naruto?"Sakura asked her brooding teammate "Hn,like I care about him"Sasuke said in hurtful tone.
Naruto was still training, all he did now was train,eat,sleep and sometimes hang out with Shikamaru and friendship with them has rosen a lot and all 3 of them have gotten much even got Asuma to help Naruto with his wind style.
"Alright it seems your all here now today were going to be doing spars since we haven't done that in a while"said smirked at the the 5 days after the sand mission Sasuke has wanted nothing but to spar against Naruto.
He has seen all the training Naruto has done and he wants to prove that he is stronger than Naruto has refused all requests Sasuke has done because he says he doesn't have time to fight him and he needs to get stronger to protect those precious to him.
Kakashi knew 1 of the reasons Naruto grew distant is because he realised that Sakura and Sasuke never cared for then disregarded them as not precious and has a list of his precious precious people including Shikamaru,Choji,Asuma,The Third,Kakashi,Iruka,Ayame and Teuchi aswell as Anko suprisingly
After Naruto graduated from the academy,Iruka felt more relaxed knowing that Kakashi would protect soon met Anko and they hit it off and now are dating and Anko had a lot of similarities and they usually have a lot of fun with eachother.
Anko also started teaching Naruto how to evade and dodge kunai and Naruto has been dodging kunai and shuriken a lot easier also bought Naruto new clothes and saying that 'His old clothes were to bright and pretty much made him a beacon for everyone to target'.
He now wore a black t-shirt with small orange stripes on the sleeves with the Uzumaki symbol on his back,he now had gloves that made it easier for him to throw kunai as there was more friction and his pants were a dark maroon that showed off his leg muscles quite nicely.
Overall Naruto was around mid chunin level and was progressing fast.
"The first spars will be Naruto and Sakura"said the got into his stance for the Inu style that he had grown a liking too and changed it a tad bit to suit him was still going with the basic academy style and it already showed Naruto as a better ninja.
Once Kakashi signaled the fight to start,Naruto immediately used shunshin to appear infront of her and put a kunai to her neck before she could even move."Yield"was all that Naruto said in a calm voice."I s-surrender"Sakura said shocked at how fast she was defeated.'I knew he was strong but he beat me in matter of seconds,how strong are you Naruto'thought the pink haired girl.
"Well that was quick,Sasuke your up next"the jonin said."Dobe I've wanted this for a week now and im going to get it."Sasuke said happy that he got his chance to beat Naruto."Yea yea,Kakashi-sensei just start the match"the blond said.
"Hajime"said tried the same move that he used on Sakura but it did not was sad that he couldn't finish it threw 2 kunai at Naruto which Naruto easily evaded and threw his own pair and then started doing handsigns.
"Wind Style:Gale Palm"The blond exclaimed as the kunai that were heading towards Sasuke sped up and cut the Uchiha in each of his grabbed his shoulders in pain at the blood that was coming out.
Naruto then grabbed Sasuke by the neck and threw him away."You say that you are the best because you're an know what I think?I think you're an idiot.I've seen how you only train for 2 hours a day and all you do is try to make your fire style stronger."
"You think your great well face the facts your not and Choji are stronger than you for sure cause atleast they can make use some effort.I just use 2 jutsu and some simple taijutsu and your now I would rate you mid genin."the blond said in a mean tone.
Sasuke glared at Naruto for the words he was speaking.'I am an Uchiha I AM GREAT'the 'Great' Uchiha thought."SHUT UP YOU KNOW NOTHING"Sasuke said while making handseals."FIRE STYLE:FIREBALL JUTSU"Sasuke exclaimed and sent a fireball straight at Naruto.
Naruto started to make his own handseals."Fire style:Fireball jutsu"Naruto said calmly while making a fireball nearly double the size of Sasuke's
Kakashi had to step in the get Sasuke out of the way of the Fireball as it was clear that Sasuke had lost."Naruto why did you try to hurt your friend!"Kakashi stated in a loud voice."Kakashi-sensei I did nothing of the I did was self attacked me first with a dangerous jutsu meant to hurt me,all I did was defend myself"Naruto stated while smirking.
Kakashi knew Naruto could have just shunshin away but he didn't and Kakashi did not know why.'Why is Naruto doing this?'the silver haired man thought.
"Sakura take Sasuke to the hospital and make sure he gets treatment"Kakashi left but not before she glared at Naruto with piercing cold eyes.'I can't believe I had a crush on her'the blond thought.
"Naruto we need to talk"Kakashi stated "Sure go on sensei"Naruto stated calmly."You have been growing a lot distant these few days and that last stunt was and I both know you could have easily dodged that but you wanted to show Sasuke your prowess."Kakashi stated furiously.
"Sensei,Im sorry"Naruto stated while looking down which shocked Kakashi a lot."What do you mean?"The masked man asked confused."I know I did something wrong its just that Sasuke always calls me mean names and I've been trying to let that not get to me but I just wanted to be mean to him once,I am sorry and I know that I've been not talking to Sakura and Sasuke a lot but that's because theres nothing to talk about."
"Its blatantly obvious they don't want to talk to me so I did what I should have done a while ago,I stopped talking"Naruto stated."Kakashi-sensei I have a confession to make"the blond stated with a little worry
"What is it Naruto,Im sure it cant be as crazy as anything else you've said"the jonin stated.
"Well you see once we came back to Konoha I did some research on Jinchuuriki and Tailed beasts.I found out there are 9 of them and that Jinchuuriki can talk to their tailed beasts."the genin stated still with a hint of worry in his voice.
Kakashi's mind was running a hundred miles a second trying to avoid the most obvious thing Naruto was saying as he did not want to believe he did that.
"So I read that you have to meditate and enter your mind to do that and I did it"the blond stated in a more serious tone."You did WHAT?"Kakashi asked in disbelief his student would do something so wreckless.
"I met the fox and talked to him"Naruto stated
Flashback 2 days ago
'Alright all I have to do is calm myself and enter my mind'naruto thought
After a few minutes Naruto opened his eyes and he was in a sewer that was very soon started to follow a path and it led him to a big thought that it was nothing and was about to walk away then he saw an eye open.
"So ningen you have come to meet me."The kyuubi stated.
"You're the kyuubi?"Naruto said in disbelief that he actually was meeting the Kyuubi face to face
"Yes now what do you want?"the kyuubi asked(The Kyuubi knows most of what Naruto thinks so he knows Naruto is here to ask a question)
"Well if you don't mind answering there are 9 tailed beasts correct?"Naruto asked still a little shaken
"Yes that is correct"
"Well I know 3 of Kyuubi,Ichibi and I want to ask you is that is the red head boy I saw in The Hidden Sand the Ichibi Jinchuuriki?"
"You are a lot smarter than you let on boy and yes he is the jailer for the Ichibi"
"Ok well now that's out of the way I have 1 more final question,Do you have a name?"
"Why do you ask this?"the kyuubi asked shocked that someone actually cared for his name.
"Well its just that the Ichibi has a name and its called Shukaku so I wondered if all of the tailed beasts have names?"
"well yes you are correct all tailed beasts have names and I will enlighten you,my name is Kurama."Kurama stated happy that someone actually cared for his all his life no one had ever asked if he had a name and he never told anyone his name.
"Ningen I will teach you a fire style jutsu of mine that only I is called Fire Style:Flash Fox"
"Really your gonna teach me?You know you're a lot nicer than many people think you are."Naruto said with a big grin on his face.
"Ningen you are different from everyone else I have met in this world,so yes I will teach you it and if I would classify it in your ninja ranking system I would say it's an A bordering S rank jutsu"Kurama stated which made Naruto's eye widen in happiness
"Kurama,I have one last question why did you attack the hidden leaf 13 years ago?"Naruto asked
"I did not,it was merely me defending myself,I had just escaped my last jinchuuriki through means that I wont tell you right now but if I trust you I will.I escaped and all you leaf shinobi attacked me so what was I supposed to do take all that damage and not get angry?"Kurama stated and was thinking that Naruto was gonna say he was a demon.
"Ok well that makes sense"the blond said with a calm face that shocked Kurama
"Ningen I know who are your parents,if you want me to I can tell you who they are."Kurama told him which made Naruto's eyes widen
"Kurama thanks for the offer but the old man wanted to tell me himself so I will respect his wishes and wait for him to tell me"
"Ok well if you change your mind I will always tell go back to the real world and continue your training,I can only teach you this jutsu once you have learned fire style"Naruto nodded at Kurama's words and soon left the plane.
'this container might not be so bad afterall'Kurama thought going back to sleep.
Back to the present
"So yea that's pretty much all that happened,nothing else interesting happened I just visited him yesterday to keep him company"Naruto said to kakashi after telling his story of meeting the most demonic creature in the world
"Naruto next time you do something wreckless like that I will punish you,your lucky nothing bad happened.I didn't know the Kyuubi was actually sort of nice"Kakashi said still with a shocked look on his face from hearing Naruto's story
"Yea and I promise to keep the team together as the heart of the team sensei"the blond stated while walking towards his meet up place where he,shikamaru and choji meet up leaving Kakashi shocked to learn that Naruto knew he was the heart.
Hokage tower
"Kakashi I can not believe such a story"Hiruzen all his life he always thought the kyuubi was an evil being but now he was being told that it was actually kind to Naruto.
"How does Naruto do these things Kakashi?"Sarutobi said."I don't know Hokage-sama I just don't know."Kakashi said while shaking his head."Well for know I guess team 7 is ready for the chunin exams that are taking place in 4 days"the hokage said"Get your team ready for it,ok?"Hiruzen said in a more orderly tone of voice."Hai hokage-sama"Kakashi said as he left using a shunshin.
