Welcome to hell... Party Central! BOW CHIKA BOW WOW! Anyway, I am loopy and dizzy from working... so this will be a work in progress, but I will give it to you non the less. Ready? Me too... NOT!... but oh well, let's go.

"CRAP!" "Sounds like Naruto went flying again..." "Oh no, and I was hoping JiJi wouldn't push him too hard."

As Naruto went flying, Via a crashing club to the gut, Akisame and Miu spoke out about it. Elder sighed as he seen Naruto crash into the wall, on the other side of the complex... "This is the final level of his first skill, he will never get it down like this..."

Kensei chuckled. "I think he will in a week. Question though, what will you have him do afterwords?" Elder rubbed his beard before grinning. "Something only I can teach..." Naruto was limping back past the corner. "Again..."

Elder smiled and put his clubs down. "We trained enough today. Go on and have some sparring with Apachai. We will continue tomorrow. So, how goes School?"

Miu checked Naruto out as Apachai was punching his gloves and grinning, ready for sparring. "We are good. Naruto had a little fight with a black belt in Sports Karate, kicked his butt with a few moves, including the Yamazuki. Seems he is going to be popular though..."

Naruto sighed. "Yeah, and I don't wanna be... really, why do I have to go through this bullshit just cause I'm strong?" Elder chuckled. "Because Martial artists like you and me and all of us will always find Martial artists who want to fight for the sake of their beliefs, no matter how petty or how proud."

Naruto rolled his shoulders. "True, but for some reason I wish I found more pride because petty reasons to fight are getting me angry... first the big guy thinks Karate is for only the strong, then the black belt wants to fight just to prove how he is stronger as a tough guy... who else, a master level thinking he can fuck with me because he has muscles?" "HEY!"

Naruto grinned. "I said, master level who think they are strong because of their muscles. It's a compliment Sakaki-Sensei. Meaning you fight for your beliefs as well as strength for your friends. That makes you a true martial artist."

Sakaki blushed and rubbed the back of his head. "Well... you got me there, but no spreading that around alright, I'm still a man with pride!" Sakaki smiled as he seen Naruto get back up. "Hey, I noticed when we practice karate, you use all the styles... but what is the one that you think suits you..." Remembering him and an old friend...

Naruto thought a moment and smiled. "Meotode, I do not attack or defend, I attack AND defend. I do not use one or the other, I use both at the same time." Sakaki smiled with pride in knowing his disciple picked a grand form to stick with... Sure it's name was a bit weird to hear, but it's practice was one of the greatest in Karate's true form.

Apachai chuckled. "Ready Naruto! YOU DODGE!" Not in these long years, has Naruto EVER dodged one fully, and today wasn't going to be any different, as Naruto slide to the side and got hit hard in the cheek. He grunted, pulling himself back together before jumping forward fast and turning on his heel before snapping a kick low to the ground. Apachai jumped up from the kick, but Naruto felt arms around his head and seen the knee coming for his face.

Now, Dodging was beyond his abilities against Apachai, but Blocking was another matter. He caught the knee and forced it down, but that had Apachai reach down and slam an elbow into his chin, and a snapping back-kick to the gut.

Naruto was thrown back a bit by the elbow, but he managed to catch the leg just as it touched him, and twisted inward to the side of Apachai, throwing a low kick again, and seeing Apachai rise, punched hard to the giant's gut.

Apachai caught it and forced his free foot into Naruto's face, and making the young blond zoom into the wall near the gate, implanted once more. Apachai looked ready to fight more, but saw Naruto bleeding... he went over with the others as they too saw it.

Elder grabbed Naruto and pulled him straight out before letting him fall. Naruto coughed and held his side. "Damn... I think I punctured a spleen with a fragment." Kensei went down and poked three needles into the side. "It was punctured by your three broken ribs, it's amazing you can still breathe with the inward collapsing. Akisame!"

Akisame slammed a chop to the lower rib and poked three fingers against the break of the top rib before holding Naruto's shoulder and kicking him in the back. Naruto held his side tighter. "I will NEVER get used to replaced bones! But thanks Sensei's."

In the older days, they would be surprised, but now it was expected. A slight red, like a burn, encased the injured area, and soon Naruto was relaxing. "I don't know how you do it, and you may say otherwise, but you two work great, I don;t feel even a SLIGHT fracture."

Kensei sighed. "And whatever you say won't matter, we didn't do a thing inside your body to heal bones in seconds. Take a rest." "NO!" They were surprised as they seen him stand and loosening his joints. "Again..."

Miu looked down sadly... seeing more as Naruto would rather train and possibly die with injury then to rest and be well. Naruto got into the standard Muay Thai stance. "Come on Apachai, let's go some more."

Everyone backed away as Apachai stood there still for the moment. Naruto stood still too, waiting for the starting bell. Apachai tensed up. "You dodge!" Apachai thrust a fist hard, and Naruto stayed calm, focused, and poised, and turned hard, but as always, he couldn't dodge completely, but he did do something surprising.

Naruto was clipped hard in the shoulder, pushing him back but her used the momentum to swing around the fist and throw a harsh jab to Apachai's face, which was blocked by his other fist. Apachai reeled his fist in a little and slammed his elbow into the side of Naruto's which caused him to back away.

Naruto panted and rubbed his cheek a little but seen Apachai kick hard to the side, and blocked it before twisting around and throwing a straight kick to Apachai's hip. Apachai blocked it too, and they stayed there for awhile, before bowing and ending their sparring session. "Naruto do good, getting faster and stronger, I promised to make you great warrior, and you have been made so. Stand tall, I show you ultimate Muay Thai technique I use."

Naruto stood back and watched as Apachai went into his stance again and then leaned back and stood on one hand as he slammed both legs into the air where someone's gut would be, and a hand out by the leg in a punch. "This technique good for dodging any high attack, and forces opponent to get back or get thrown back." Apachai rose and Naruto bowed. "Thank you Sensei."

It was getting a late as training took forever, especially since the Elder was giving him everything and more for this final level of the special skill of Sei. Akisame rubbed his mustache as Sakaki picked Naruto up by his Gi and pulled him to the steel training posts.

Akisame sighed. "You said he wasn't Dou or Sei... why did you say he would never get it down." Elder smiled fondly. "True... Truth be told, as a Mune fighter it took me, when I first found about it, a month for each level but five for the last level.. he has gotten down every level faster then I would have guessed, but this last level it is nearly over. Four months and three weeks and he is near completion, but why take so long?... I am worried."

Kensei nodded. "Me too, seems things are getting rougher with his progress... ever since you came back it seemed he would do better, but as time progressed it got worse..." Shigure was upside down above them. "I... am worried he will... not make it to... the Katsujin...ken..."

Apachai looked softly. "I had hard time, wondering if I was doing good for world by making blood with fists... It was hard, but I soon found kindness and truth of world in eyes of animals and children. Naruto must find his own way of heart. And Apachai will do all he can to make Naruto see it soon, even if I must take him round world myself." It was a tough decision to make, but they all made it... to help him find the right path, by any means needed.

XxX Next day at School XxX

"HEY COME ONE COME ALL, TSUKUBA THE TERRIBLE BEATEN BY NARUTO THE NEWBIE!" Niijima and his normal evil attitude trying to destroy Naruto's and Tsukuba's reputations for his own evil gains.

Naruto sighed and tried to leave, and Miu followed, but Niijima caught up and grinned. "Well if it isn't my new pal Naruto, good work destroying Tsukuba. So, want to join me in taking over the school?" Naruto kept walking past and Miu ignored him as well, but he grabbed Miu's shoulder... Will Niijima ever learn?

She threw him hard to the ground before realizing what she did. "Oh I'm so sorry! You ok? It's natural for someone to throw those who sneak up on them." Naruto chuckled. "No worries, he's resiliant, I did the same when he did the same to me. Niijima, go away."

Niijima chuckled evilly as he stood. "Come on now, don't tell me you would rather be mobbed by thugs going home." Naruto sighed. "And you would have ANY idea one what I'd rather want? You out of my hair."

Niijima was about to speak, but someone spoke aloud near the crowd of people, who seemed to be scared of them and ran. "Tsukuba is a disgrace... he's brought shame to Ragnarok... Find him and tell him to leave town, or-" Naruto and Miu looked to see three people, a big guy wearing sunglasses and a white shirt, a little guy who looked like a hippy biker combination, and a darker skinned man with blue hair wearing blue custom school clothes, and the man in blue had threw a punch at the falling piece of paper and made it shred to pieces with a single blow.

Naruto glared a bit... "Boxing... Guess Apachai's training will be VERY good here." The boxing guy lead the others away. "Come on, we gotta find that Naruto character." Naruto was behind Miu with a turned face, of course he'd be slightly invisible to their eyes.

Naruto started walking to his next class when Niijima came up again. "Listen, I have info on those guys... you might wanna know what I got to say before rejecting me." Naruto thought about it... it might help things along if he knew more about them, maybe then he would get someone to understand him as he would understand them.

He walked and gestured a nod to the doors of the old shed. Naruto leaned on the wall and Miu stood still as Niijima got his PDA out. "Alright, here's what I dug up... The little guy is Koga the Kicker, unknown martial arts, but he uses his legs to a frightening degree, and one of the Takedown Trio, the three you seen."

Naruto hummed in thought. "A leg worker, a good set I must admit, those legs weren't twigs, but his size he would need to have gravity..." Niijima poked a few buttons and frowned. "Ukita the Thrower, used to be a Judo black belt, before he was kicked out for his aggressive nature, second in command apparently and with his size, I don't blame him. His favorite throw is the overhead crowbar."

Naruto sighed. "More like Technique Trio, kicks, throws, and I gotta guess, punches." Niijima grinned. "Good perception. Takeda the Puncher, former League Boxer, even made the finals before dropping out due to some kind of accident. He had a punch called the Lethal Left, they even taped his matches and slowed the video down as much as possible and still no one could see the punch coming."

Naruto seen the video and grinned. "They just don't know about fast punches." Niijima waved it off. "Yeah yeah, call it however you want. They are looking for you, but they are not the ones curious, it's their leader, an officer in command of a section of the strongest gang in the city called Ragnarok. She's known as Valkyrie for her aerial assaults and uses mostly her legs, Her name is Kisara Nanjo, and used to be quite the Tae Kwon Do specialist."

Naruto groaned. "You're kidding me... No way is this going to be simple... Thanks for the info, that will be enough for me today, see ya." Truthfully he was kind of worried. A true blue league boxer with a punch that was incredibly fast and someone even stronger with great leg power leading them. He hoped they weren't weak, but not trying to kill him just because he was a good fighter.

He would go about his day, he would hold his head high, but not look for a fight. He was no coward, if he was found he was found, if not, then they weren't looking, he wouldn't hide, he wouldn't run, he would just go about his day. And he had three days before they found him...

XxX With Kisara XxX

Kisara jumped and flipped before slamming a foot hard into the punching bag in front of her and tearing it in half. "HYA!" She stood and huffed as she had been at it for a good three hours. Her assistant gave her a towel and she took it,wiping her face.

The Assistant cleared his throat. "Kisara, we have word from the Fists... Seems they wish to initiate you into their ranks, and a way to prove yourself by beating a gang with them two weeks from now. They request an answer."

Kisara thought about it a moment... "Freya... You helped me out so much, and being able to be the same rank as you is my way of thanking you... your help brought me there, you helped me become a fist...I guess it's my time to be serious in the gang."

She turned and went to the weights, lifting two hundred pounds with one leg. "I accept. I'll be there. How goes the search for potentials?" She had to think business, even if Naruto was HER Naruto, she couldn't afford to put things on hold.

The Assistant bowed. "None as hopeful as this Naruto fellow, and none who seem worthy enough to even BE martial artists. Sorry Kisara..."

Kisara sighed heavily... "Ok, if Takeda isn't able to bring back this Naruto character, then I will." "Not so fast." She turned to see an executive officer named Tsuji. "If this guy beats those three punks, then I'll bring him in guaranteed. Listen, I dug up some info on this guy on the streets. When he was younger he was a small food thief, and suddenly went off the grid. Last known whereabouts before being in this school was being seen along routes here and there, being a weirdo when walking, each time a different way of walking. I don't have any birth certificate either... Something is fishy..."

Kisara hummed and thought long back... Was she ever near that Dojo? Or even on a route maybe? She turned and scoffed. "So? What good is this information besides your doubts."

Tsuji hummed in thought before walking up. "Listen, he has probably been trained since he was a kid, making him possibly stronger then even me, but if he was never born... then how is he even here?" Kisara stopped and pondered... and sighed. "We shall ask him when he gets here. I will even ring the information from him if needed, so don't give me any crap."

Tsuji nodded. "If he even beats me... then watch yourself." He left after that. She stopped lifting and looked to her assistant, and he bowed before going as well. She went to her chair and sat down, holding her cat in her lap. "Noir... Think he could be the one?" Noir meowed and Kisara held her cat close. "I hope so..."

Short I know, but building up to great fights, and I even put a Kisara scene to help understand what I have her as in my story. Building HER personality to what it will be. ANYWAY! Hope this tides you over...

AND THIS IS A BIRTHDAY CHAPTER! A friend of mine is having his birthday today. Sorry i'm so late man but happy birthday to you Jbigz77
