Strongest 04

"Really," Kenichi stammered out "You don't mind teaching me?" asked Kenichi, as he picked himself up to one knee.

"Yeah," she smiled not seeing too much of a problem with it, Naruto looked at her not to awed but impressed. "So how many days do you have?" she asked

"One week," Kenichi answered,

"Then we can practice every day after school," She offered as Naruto looked up at the tree,

"Is that all right? Won't you be tired?" Kenichi asked concerned Naruto started to drown them out a bit as he spread his feet mimicking the woman's stance, feeling his chakra in his body and focusing it to his fist.

"Defense comes first. Incorrect method will only lead to you hurting yourself," Miu warned as Kenichi nodded meekly. "Today I got to go and do some shopping so after school tomorrow we will meet here okay?" she offered,

"Should I go to the club? It will be kind of awkward there" asked Kenichi,

"I don't see why not you didn't do anything wrong so why shouldn't you?" she asked

"Well that's right," Kenichi replied rubbing the back of his head. The blond girl road of into the distance when Kenichi herd a trunk he spun around to see Naruto had hit the tree a single leaf fell down.

"She knows what she is doing with martial arts," Naruto affirmed nodding his head, Kenichi looked faint as he looked at his little brother. "However she is very innocent when it comes to people, with that bully aiming for your head, I doubt you will be left alone," Naruto frowned. Kenichi thought about it, "But if you don't show up then the fight is already lost, just expect to be hustled," Naruto warned.

"How do you know?" asked Kenichi,

"I know people, I may be quick to forgive but I am not stupid, people can be cable of great mercy or misery as I have been on the receiving end of both don't go thinking the path you are taking will be easy," Naruto warned, "However running away will just lead to more misery and missed opportunity," Kenichi looked at Naruto unable to talk as the blond walked away from him. "Neither life is easy but there is one advantage to fighting back," Naruto smirked as he opened the door.

"What?" asked Kenichi,

"Control over oneself, no matter if you win or lose you at least decided who you dealt with the problem," Naruto answered.

"You seem to know a lot," Kenichi realized,

"All I have had for a long time is time to think however, most don't expect great ideas to come from a nine year old so I play my part," Naruto winked. "But to be honest people are all I think about I have no idea how all this family stuff works, why do have to knock at your door but not the front?" asked Naruto as Kenichi laughed.

"You really are a weird kid," He laughed, "But you're my brother so I guess I won't bother you about you new found wisdom," he chuckled, looking back at the tree a moment wondering what Naruto had lived thru.

"Naruto, Kakashi is here to see you," announced his mom as Naruto ran off to meet his teacher. Kakashi was in a causal button up short sleeve shirt and wore brown slacks and dress shoes.

"HI Kakashi," Naruto greeted as the man nodded indicating it was time to go.

"So how long are you going to be?" asked Naruto's mom as she eyed Kakashi,

"Not long ma'am," he gave her an unseen smile hidden by a surgeons mask over his mouth. "An hour or two nothing to long I am not a big kid person. Oh I have a cold I don't want anyone catching it," he smiled adjusting his shades

"We need to work on your fashion sense boy, just make sure he is back before dinner," she frowned.

Naruto walked out quickly double stepping to keep up with Kakashi, the two stopped walking at the house Kakashi owned it had a tall stone wall around the whole two story house and the walls were surrounded by trees.

"Wow," Naruto gazed up at the house,

"This is the land of fire house, we use it whenever we have business out here and this will be you new training grounds. So we will start with the basics the transformation jutsu?" he asked, Naruto transformed into Kakashi, he nodded "Kawarimi?" asked Kakashi, Naruto replaced himself with a log than walked back. Kakashi nodded again.

"Before you ask no I can't do the Bunshin," Naruto admitted, "That my history scores are the reasons they keep failing me," Naruto admitted "Not to mention Bunshin is almost always the final exam,"

"Well that's where we start," Kakashi admitted thankful Naruto wasn't good at everything, I mean what would be the odds, of Naruto being branded a failure over the inability to do one jutsu. Kakashi had to bight his tongue. The clone was pathetic I mean hardly anything not even a bit of color. "Well that explains that no wonder you were never passed, the," Kakashi stopped himself, "I wonder, he mused as he rubbed his clothed chin. "Try this, Naruto," Kakashi instructed as he showed Naruto a hand sign. "No repeat after me Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu," Kakashi announced.

"Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu," Naruto repeated as he flashed through the hand sign. Naruto felt the drain on his body but next to him stood a solid clone. Naruto felt a little winded but was okay, as he inspected his clone.

"The stupidity," Kakashi frowned, "of all the things did they ever stop to things he had too much chakra," Kakashi sounded disappointed.

"Did I do something wrong?" asked Naruto as he inspected the water clone. The clone looked fine to him as he looked at Kakashi,

"No but now we have nothing to go over, I need to contact the Hokage, you head home Naruto someone has some explaining to do," Kakashi dismissed and Naruto dashed off for home.

Naruto woke up the next day and got home from school quickly, Naruto watched Miu and his brother as he tried to touch her. Naruto laughed as he finally fell to the ground.

"The thing is the movement of you feet," She explained Naruto watched closely, studding what the girl had to offer. Naruto chuckled as he watched his brother fall over and over again trying to mimic her movements. She waved good bye after a while Naruto hoped down to watch his older brother. Naruto gave a soft smirk as his brother kept at it for a long time before finally heading to bed at night fall. Naruto went to his room as well, then turning his toes inward started to practice the move as well.

"This is fun," Naruto chuckled silently as he started to seemingly scoot around his room it was well past midnight before he finally went to sleep. The next morning Naruto woke up and walked along side his older brother mimicking his movements as well.

"If you say so," Kenichi frowned as his shaky legs moved along slowly both were ignoring the odd looks they were getting as the blond reappeared.

"So that explains that," Miu smirked as she looked over at the two, "I see you are working on it as well Naruto," She commented as Naruto nodded.

"You can go on ahead, I don't want you to be late on my account," Kenichi mentioned as he kept moving at his slow pace.

"Yeah, big brother is going to move like this all the way to class," Naruto chirped as she grinned up at the girl she smiled weakly as she looked down at Naruto not sure on how comfortable she was on the younger boy picking up on these skills as well.

"Naruto," called a voice as Naruto froze up,

"Yes Kakashi sensei?" asked Naruto as he turned around meekly.

"You're going to be late for class," He frowned, Naruto rubbed the back of his head as everyone turned to see him standing on the railing.

"But it's so boring, this is much more fun," Naruto whined. Kakashi ignored the glares from the girl with the glasses as he kept his attention at Naruto.

"No excuse get moving," He frowned Naruto puffed up his checks but quickly ran off the pair watched him run off. The two turned back to see that the grey haired man had already vanished from sight.

"Now where was I, Pa Bo Gu bo," Kenichi continued as on,

Naruto blinked it had been about a week now and Naruto was concerned about his new big brother he had been acting weird as of late despite the blonde's training. Silently creating a clone he switched out and quickly left the school without being noticed.

Finding his spot perfectly he decided to test out his new ability, focusing he charged the wall. Barely sticking to it at all he got about half way up. "Crap!" Naruto panicked as he used his hands scampering up like a cat. Naruto collapsed on the surface as he crawled over to the window.

"Naruto?" Commented Miu as the two blonds spotted each other. "You here cause of your big brother as well?" she asked smiling. Naruto nodded dumbly as the pair looked into the window.

Miu frowned as she watched Kenichi dodge again and again as his opponent slowly worked himself to death. She glanced over to see Naruto was mirroring his older brothers motions as the fight went on as she wondered if Kenichi would figure out the hidden meaning behind the movements.

"Come on Big bro, you can do it!" Naruto shouted but nobody inside heard him. Kenichi suddenly moved forward dodging the blow intertwining his arm with the stronger man's and then sent him toppling to the mat.

"Yes!" Shouted Naruto as he leaped up. Miu clapped smiling as Naruto tackled her around her neck. "He, he did it," Naruto chanted as he jumped up and down shaking the blond girl.

"Take it easy Naruto," she smiled as she pushed him back as the two returned to the view.

The others ran over and woke the other man up as the bigger man started to panic as he talked to one of the senior members. Miu smirked as she skipped off, Naruto frowned as he watched Kenichi walk out of the room. "What happened?" Asked Naruto as he watched the girl skip off,

"Your missing class that's what," Kakashi frowned, as Naruto shivered. Naruto slowly looked back to see the grey haired man glaring down at him.

"I was um, I was worried about Kenichi he had a match today," Naruto admitted as KAkashi grabbed him by his collar.

"Sure, he did, Naruto no skipping out as punishment you are going to be studding during are next training session.

"NOOOOOO!" Naruto cried out as he was tossed onto the man's shoulder. "NO, have mercy!" Naruto cried as she tried to weasel his way out. "Not the books, anything but the books!" Naruto cried.

Naruto grumbled as he walked up to the school, "Stupid sensei," Naruto grumbled as he spotted his brother walking out of the school and some pointed ear guy waiting not to far away. Naruto ran up to his brother.

"You were so amazing I watched your fight you were so cool," Naruto shouted as he dashed over to his older brother. Kenichi blushed as he rubbed the back of his head.

"I still lost, Naruto," Kenichi admitted.

"But he was down, not you I say you won!" Naruto pouted as he looked up at him.

"I agree," a voice added as the pointy eared guy walked into view as well. Naruto frowned as he moved behind Kenichi.

"I am tired, can't you just leave me alone?" frowned Kenichi as his shoulders slumped, unintentional or not he put up a front for Naruto. "I didn't win," Kenichi insisted,

"On a rule violation you can't fool me ears, you're the real winner," the teen explained, Kenichi gave a tired smirk.

"Thanks," He walked past the pointy eared teen as Naruto followed.

"Oh right to congratulate your victory, some information," The teen commented as he put his hands in his pocket. Naruto frowned as they both looked back. "I am not the only one who would call it a victory a guy by the name of Chukuba in the club wants to test your skills,"

"What?" exclaimed Kenichi as he turned all the way around to face his informer.

"If it's Chukuba-senpai, he is about at the level ranking 1 or 2 on top of that he is a delinquent and has connections with the mobs!" The teen shouted. Naruto frowned not liking the sound of that.
This time you really are done for!" the man cackled as he dashed away.

"Heh," Kenichi gritted his teeth, as Naruto noticed the blond running to them,

"Congratulations, Kenichi," the blond smiled as Naruto looked up to see tears streaming down his face in a panic.

"I may need to help him out," Naruto thought to himself as he thought over what he could do to keep his new big brother safe
