8 years later Naruto was making his way to the academy he knew he would pass the test. For the past 8 years he had trained for it. Himori had made some games of it in the beginning he had done it later for himself pranking people. He still remembered the day four years ago when he and Neji sparred for the first time together. Neji beat him but barely a week later he got his rematch beating Neji only this time he didn't use strict juken attacked he had gone watching some chunnin and jonin train and noticed the Hyuuga didn't kick so for the next weak he had worked on a few kicks and leg swipes he could use.
After his victory Neji claimed he had cheated. Himori stepped out of the shadows and asked how Naruto had cheated. When Neji told the old man he had used his legs to attack Himori asked him how that was cheating. Neji said we were having a juken fight in a pure juken fight I would beat him. You are correct Neji you are one of the most talented juken user I have ever seen and I have seen a lot of them. So it would be terrible stupide of Naruto to fight you with pure juken head on talented and skilled as he is on the juken department he can't touch you.
So as you too had a Tai jutsu match in which you assumed he would be only using juken. He tried something else he analyzed what both of you knew of juken and found a point both of you where lagan in. and while you further refined what you both of you already knew he looked farther than the clan observed some other styles and found a point the juken is lagging in. really Naruto asked? Yes Himori said very few juken users ever see it Neji a true prodigy of the juken never thought about it. Only in some of the most advanced kata of the juke kicks are used. You sought out a training field to learn about fighting in general not the juken specific and saw this small flaw in the juken.
A skilled juken fighter mostly takes out an advisory before it can become an issue so no one thought of fix that part. But we three can work on that now we know of it. We three Neji crocked why would you teach me elder Himori. Well you are my grandson, son of my death son I do care about you now join Naruto and me as we analyze how Naruto beat you and how you beat him last time. Learn from one another. It did not take long for Himori to set Neji straight as to what happened the night his father died and Neji was a much nicer person after that a bit stiff and formal but a great sparring partner.
And while Neji had specialized in the juken art. Naruto had broth end his horizon worked on a few ninjutsu and try to use other fighting's styles. He also masters some kenjutsu what was frowned up by most Hyuuga. Only Himori and Koria there guard and an ex anbu understood, she taught him a lot about it. As well as all kind of other tricks. What no one told Naruto he was easily a low chunnin in skill now his physical needed some work but he was only twelve he had a morning routine that most new gennin could not even do in a whole day. But Himori trained him in a lot of field so he was not really a master in one. But he had a sharp mind without a lot of the normal inhibiters most ninja had. So he made his way to the academy. He would do his graduation test with Neji class.
Naruto did not exceptional well in the exam sure he passed with flying collars. But he had hold back most of his skills making him a middle student in the written part. And he scored passible scores with throwing and taijutsu, with ninjutsu he just did the required three jutsu. It took him the utmost concentration to make a clone. He had just too much chakra he could only make one passable clone at best or at least a regular clone Koria had thought him the shadow clone while he did not use it in training he could make multiple of them in sparing matches. When Himori had caught him doing that he had praised the boy for the inventive new way to use that jutsu but that he couldn't use it out side of his taijutsu training just yet.
When you are a gennin we talk about it some more but none of the examiners knew this of course as the shadow clone was an A rank jutsu Naruto learned in an afternoon. Naruto went over the score in his head as he listens to the team placement. It took a while but his name was not called out so when the sensei was done Naruto asked sensei in what team will I be placed? The sensei looked at him with a dark look before he said I don't know all it says here you are to report to the Hokage. Well I am going good luck to all of you and I will be seeing you. With that he jumped out of a window he just opened. The sensei shook his head but said nothing.
Naruto made his way to the Hokage tower as he was outside he decided against busting in he was a ninja now so he would go thru the door like all the other ninja. Meanwhile in the Hokage office the old man looked around to see a few of his most trussed jonin and advisers. And said I still have a problem placing Naruto there is no team for him as the numbers are wrong for it. And there are no jonin that want to take him. He looked around to his entire adviser if any of them had an idea how to work this out.
Kakashi was not here he knew he would take the boy but the council would have a fit and strip him of that rank with in a year when the Utchia past the exam. He could of course find a Hyuuga jonin to take him but he had talked with Himori about it and they thought it best if he found someone else while Naruto was very skilled in the use of juken the art and was one of the best young students he had ever seen only his sons and Neji would pass him in that. But that was not Naruto he had the skill to even beat them with juken if he wanted. He just didn't have the drive to only work on the juken he was a more al round fighter it showed that in the way he attacked the weak point of the juken.
I will take him Ibliki said shocking every one. What someone said? Not as my apprentice he doesn't has the hart for that he is to kind. But he has great potential as a shinobi I can't find him some extra teacher when I don't have time. Its al temporary any way. You are right of course the Hokage said than its set he should be here any moment so you all can leave I need to inform Ibliki about some things.
As they had all left Sarutobi said so you guessed who he is then. Of course it's not that hard any way he looks a lot like him. So you understand that Jiraiya will take him on as an apprentice. I understand Ibliki said so I will work on some areas he needs work. Sarutobi was about to say something when there was a knock on the door. There will he be Sarutobi said. And he was right after he called enter Naruto walked in.
As he bowed he said jiji you wanted to see me. Ibliki frowned ad this but said nothing waiting to see the Hokage responds. It's good of you to come so quickly. Well Naruto said I didn't have much choice in the mater as I don't have a team in the placement meeting. Sorry about that Naruto kun Sarutobi said but as you noticed there was no one left and as you know your burden doesn't make you a much wanted student. I see Naruto said a bit dejected.
No you don't Sarutobi said I have found a permeated teacher for you one of my students but it will take some time for him to swing back to village and start your training. So I also found you a temporary sensei. I want you to meet Ibliki Morino the head of the anbu I&T department. I think you can learn a lot of him but he needs to test your real skill Naruto because you held back a lot of skill in the exam. What do you mean Ibliki said speaking for the first time.
Well Naruto tell your sensei who has been your sparring partner for the last years. Well Neji but what of it. Well as you know Neji was the top of his class by far. And you kept up with him all the time form the spar I saw you two about where even. And I also know you learned the shadow clone jutsu in an afternoon. Which is a great feat for an A rank forbidden jutsu. Especially for a ten year old Sarutobi said.
Ibliki was a bit shocked by this. But Sarutobi continued with also I watched you throw senbon around as well as kunai and shurigun so I know you trained yourself to hit nerve points for quite some distends away and also even some tenketsu. So you're Tai jutsu, Nin jutsu and your weapon skills are not what you showed them to be. And as I know your teachers I also know you also could have aced the written exam. Well I could have done better but I also learned deception is one of the pillars of being a shinobi. You are right there Ibliki said but as your sensei I need to know what to teach you and the Hokage need to know what you can do so that he can find the best place in the ninja core. Of course Naruto said bowing a bit. Good now that you know that meet me tomorrow and training ground 56 and I will see what you are made of.
The next morning Naruto was early he was the first of the training ground. But he didn't have to wait long before Ibliki arrived with two chunnin. Ibliki sensei Naruto said giving the large man a sight bow. Good to see you are early shows me you are eager to learn I like that. He didn't look ad Naruto but to the two chunnin. Well he said as he turned to Naruto again I brought these two for you to beat up first so I can see how you move after that I will see what you got. I told them not to hold back on you Naruto so be ready. First a Tai jutsu match sees if you are as good as the Hokage thinks you are. We will see Naruto said as he took his stance.
Naruto waited for the chunnin to charge he didn't move a muscle as he waited for the chunnin to move. As the chunnin saw Naruto wasn't going to make the first move he charged hoping to rush the gennin. Btu Naruto blocked all his punches closing all the chakra points he could hit. As they started to find a rhythm Naruto ducked and sinned and kicked the chunnin legs form under him shocking him as Hyuuga didn't use a there legs to attack as the chunnin took up his stance. Naruto rushed him and said you are in my field of division and he said eight trigram thirty two palms. And with an astonishing speed he hit the chunnin thirty two times with great force closing all the chunnin major chakra points. Naruto moved back seeing if the chunnin would get back up to continue. You win the chunnin groaned in pain. I would like to point out one opening you gave I didn't take advantage of. What are you talking about the chunnin asked a bit protrude? When I did my spin kick I could also have kicked upwards hitting you in the groin I am pretty sure that would have been a winning blow. Ibliki laughed and said I would have taken that shot. Next time I might as well but this was about me showing my skill not taking out my opponent in the most efficient way. You have a point there Ibliki said.
Naruto watched and said so now we see how good I am with ninjutsu. I don't have a wide repute. That is ok the chunnin said taking out Bo staff show me what you got. Without saying a word Naruto threw a set of senbon and making a few hand seals he said shadow senbon jutsu. Making 3 senbon in to sixty making the chunnin duck for cover while using his Bo staff to bad them away. So Naruto took out a kunai but instate of throwing it straight ad him he threw it in the air. The chunnin laughed said it think you miss that way. Really Naruto said going to the same hand seals as before and calling out shadow kunai jutsu. Making it rain kunai. And as they were raining on the chunnin Naruto started to go to another set of hand seals a bit longer than before and he called out lighting rod shock jutsu. Shooting out a large spark of lighting that was shooting thru the fallen kunai all around the chunnin making it unable for him to avoid the attack. Doing another set of hand seal to hit the chunnin again before he could recover Naruto called out Wind Release: Great Breakthrough jutsu but he was a bit to slow the chunnin could use the chakra to stay on the ground. Naruto seeing this made a single hand seal making five shadow clones. As Ibliki seeing them going to the same hand seals as before he called that is enough Naruto I see you know what you are doing with the jutsu you have.
He Naruto walked up to him he said to the two chunnin you two can go now. There are few things I want to test Naruto on but that is more his mind than anything else.
So Naruto Ibliki said show me some of the seals you made. How did you know I started to work on seals? Two reasons first you are an Uzomaki, Uzomaki are always great with seals secondly the Hokage told me. Well I only am just above the beginner's level but I made some storage seals some trigger seals and a few explosive tags. Naruto showed Ibliki what he got and the gruff man was impressed witch was a hard thing to do. Well now that I know your lever of sealing skills we work on that as well. Naruto he said we won't do a lot of mission mostly the mission I do are not for fresh gennin. Secondly I am here to bring up your over all skill for when your permanent sensei arrives back. Now let's see how smart you are and Ibliki pulled out a shogi board
Later that evening Ibliki reported to the Hokage his findings on young Naruto. His Tai jutsu was good he beat up one of his chunnin after all. It was a bit strange for a Hyuuga with him using kicks my chunnin underestimated him and paid the price. While I am not the best ad tai jutsu myself I belief I can help him with the brought strokes and as he still lives in the Hyuuga compound I guess he can get help on his juken from them far better than form me.
His ninjutsu is limited for a ninja but he knows far more jutsu I belief than any fresh gennin does especially a Hyuuga as they tend to specialize in tracking and taijutsu. His throwing skills are top notch not much I can do on that then there is his sealing skills above anything I could have hoped for in a gennin but he is an Uzomaki so that does explains a lot the thing is he is near my level I can supplied him with some scrolls but that is it I can teach him how to do it. And is over all intelligent is high a played a game of shogi against him and I felt like I was playing against a Nara on something.
What do you mean a new voice asked and Shikaku the Nara clan head stepped out of the shadows? Well he observes the game like a Nara does seeing what someone is going to do a head of time. Only when you play enough shogi games you learn there are patterns to the game certain move result in certain actions of your opponent. Naruto just don't think like any other he does things I never had thought of most work really well I won the game but it was a hard game to win. The Hokage and the Nara clan head smiled and Shikaku said well you should sent him over some time I would love to play against him myself some time I love a shogi challenge. Well I might do that but you need to agree to teach him about tactics. If he proves a challenge it would be my pleasure Shikaku said.
So what about his kenjutsu skills Sarutobi asked? I didn't test them I didn't know he was trained in it to any degree I just put it on the list of things to do as he was wearing that short blade. He knew the basic style of the Uzomaki ad least the short sword part. How did he learn that Ibliki asked? I gave Himori a copy of some of the Uzomaki scrolls Kushina left for him. The sword style he knows is far from complete. I have the more scrolls for him also the joining form for a single hand katana. You have these scrolls yes and some others on weapons the Uzomaki clan used as well as some of their signatory jutsu and there Tai jutsu. So when are you going to give it to them. Well I was going to present these to him after he graduated the gennin exam but I changed my mind. So what are you going to do with them Ibliki asked? Me nothing you are going to give them to him tomorrow. Why I Ibliki asked?
Naruto the Hokage said. You might not see it but he has trust issues. Outside me a select few of my anbu, six or seven Hyuuga and a very select group of other people outside of that group he is always on guard. I felt something was of but completely on his guard. Yeah he is he doesn't even feel save in my office but he has learned to mask it very well. I only know because I know him so long I doubt if Hiashi knows buts possible. If you give him these moments of his mother you will raise enough in his eye for you to find a way in and earn his trust.
So the next morning Ibliki was waiting for Naruto with a large scroll. He watched the boy walked up and wondered what the boy would say when he saw what he had for him. As he sat against a three he motioned for Naruto to take a seat across form him. As Naruto sad down he said Naruto the Hokage asked me to give you some things he has been holding for you. With that he put the large storage scroll in between them. And started to unseal some boxes and scrolls the last one he pulled out of the scroll he handed to Naruto. It thinks you should start with this one. As Naruto broke the seal on the scroll he dropped when he saw who it was form.
Dear Naruto,
When you're reading this something's went wrong and I died the day you were born. First know that this in no way was your fault. Most likely it was your fathers. I am just kidding as clumsy as he might be sometimes he is a great ninja without any eagle in the lands. No I don't know what went wrong. If I have to feature a guess there was some kind of attack when I was in labor and my seal broke. Btu knows what after has happened that the greatest regret in my live will always be not being there for you when you needed a mother. So now that we have established that I cannot help you in person let me help you in sprit. In these scrolls and boxes are my jutsu, techniques and my weapons. Learn how to use them master to a level I never reached. As they are all what is left of the once feared Uzomaki clan. As far as I knew I was the last of the clan as well as the heir to its name. As I am now death use what our ancestors once where what I once was to your advantage. I have faith in you Naruto kun that you will be the one that will let your enemies whisper in fear of the Uzomaki once more. I can tell you all about what we once where. But there are scrolls with the history in my possessions. I don't know how old you are when you read this nor do I know where you live. I hope with all my heart that you are at least halve as love now as when I was till careening you around in my womb that way I can rest save in knowing you are one of the most loved children in the village. Also I need to ask you a favor do not carry any ill will to the fourth Hokage as to what he did to you. I doubt he survived what he was planning to do when the seal broke. The fool he didn't knew I knew what he was up to but I knew. After it involved you so I knew what he was to do. Don't see being the jailer of the Kyuubi as a curse or a burden. But use it to your advantage. It was one of my greatest regrets in my ninja live that I hadn't taken the time to master the control of its chakra. The few bits I learned to control where some of my greatest assets. But they are also different for every container so I can give you any hints to what they will be for you. Next to the scrolls of our family I also left my greatest early possessions to you. My armor witch won't do you much good as it's for girls. But you can use my blades it they were given to me by a shogun in the land of iron after I saved his daughters live on a mission where I broke my blade. So as a thank you he commissioned a set of blades for me form the finest weapon smith on the land of iron daimyo court by far the best blade user and makers in the whole of the elemental nations. Also the only country all ninja are afraid of. Then only clan that had some dealings with them where the Uzomaki as we were master of seals and blades they liked that and they suck ad making seals them self so they looked to us for that. You can find all that stuff out later on your own while looking thru the scrolls. I hope you find all the happiness I found in my live and understand why I wright this letter witch such a heavy hard my dear Naruto.
I will always love you more than you can imagine
Your loving mother,
Kushina Uzomaki
Naruto read the letter nine times before looking up with tears in his eyes he thanked Ibliki for the letter not caring about the rest ad that moment. It took him nearly half an hour to ground him again and to start looking in the boxes and thru the scrolls. It did not take long to find the ken and Tai jutsu scrolls. He did notice that the kenjutsu style matched what he already knew for the short sword. He had a suspicion the old man had copied it for him form one of these scrolls. But what surprised him the most was they Tai jutsu scrolls. As he looked over the style it was very different than the juken but there were also some very glaring similarities and it shocked him. While the juken was designed for small taps this style used brutal strikes to take out the vital points. But the style also used for arms to block and open palms to strike a bit like the Hyuuga. But the most glaring different was that this style use d the legs in a very efficient way. He smiled at the elegance of it. If he could combine this style with the juken it could be very much his thing the overall method was a bit of a slow style but he could work with that them juken had its eight trigram speed elements he could integrated in the style. It would take some work but he was all about hard work.
After Naruto was done with the scrolls he started to pen boxes. The first he found where the blades and his mother had been right these where absolutely beautiful truly a work of art. As he opened and unsealed her armour he saw that it was not real one armour but large array of armour parts that made it up and that they could be used in different fashions. He even noticed that the flag jacked his mother had worn in her regular duties was different for the once he saw on shinobi now. Ibliki explained that this one was custom made for his mother so that parts of her armour could be attached to it. He checked of it was his size but the shape was all wrong. He did decided to take them for arm protectors form the box to wear. He also made a note to himself to get some of the other basic components of the armour to wear. They might not be in the same league as his mother's armour they would keep him saves for now until he could commission armour like that of his own.
Ibliki on his part just watched the boy he was not surprised by the amount of emotion displaced by the boy. And he understood that Naruto whole word image had shifted with that letter. He had an origin now. He had always been the village piranha even with in the Hyuuga clan he only had their eyes by hand of Orochimaru. While he was not blamed for that act nor was he shunned by the Hyuuga for his burden like the rest of the village but he was treated like a bit of an outsider. This was accented by Naruto behaviour of pranking the people that wronged him even it was to great delight of the anbu and the Hokage when they were not on the revising end of it. But also in how he trained himself. He was a genius there was no doubt that even in the Hyuuga clan. His skill in the juken made that clear.
But he was looked down on by them for the way he took interest in other ninja arts outside the juken. There were rumours in the village that Himori the gentle but stern ex clan head punched anyone who dared to look down on Naruto for wanting to understand where he came from. Even going so far as to cripple a branch member that was teaching him without using the cage bird seal. Showing just how serious he was about this after that none had spoken about it but it did not change the way change the way. He watched as Naruto was done with looking thru the scrolls and started to seal them up in the large scroll again. Naruto he said there is one more thing as Naruto looked up to him he said I have gotten something for you as well.
He removed a sealing scroll from his coat and unsealed a black box from it. As he handed it to Naruto he said I know you would rather use your mother's blades but you are still too small to use them and to untrained to wield them. In a few years I know you will use them in the same way she did but until than think its better if you sue these they are scaled down blades for someone about your size. See them as training blades until the time you can give your mother's blade the wielder they deserve.
Thank you Ibliki sensei Naruto said standing and giving him a small bow. After he stood straight and attached the blades in their place. The shorter one on his lower back and the larger one on his back. Ibliki smiled ad him and said you're welcome. As he stood as well he said now Naruto I am going on a mission for a week. And you have yet to reach the skill level so you can join me without me worrying for your safety so I have made arrangements with a jonin I play carts with some times he is also one of the village most skilled wielder of a blade he will work with that new two bladed style you now have. This will have your priority but Himori informed me of your somewhat unorthodox training using shadow clones while you are ad it has a few of them work on that Tai jutsu style and how to fight with that chain. Because if you don't know how to wield it even a little it will be cumbersome to wear it with you. Hai Ibliki sensei Naruto said. Good Ibliki said that is all for today I suggest you take these scrolls back home as they are priceless and only mend for you. With that he shushined away. When he gets back that is the first jutsu I ask him to teach me Naruto said to him as he finished up sealing everything back up.
Himori watched Naruto return early form training. He of course knew the reason why he would make his way back home to speak to the boy see how he was. Now that he knew who his mother was he would tell him about her. While he didn't know her personally that well. But Hiashi did so he would get him to tell the boy some stories about her every child had the right to know about their parents. And it pained him that he had not been able to tell him before. He was broken out of his musing by some kind of commotion.
Some chunnin had spoken up about his blades and made some fun about his birth family. Normally Naruto would just say something back. But with the emotional sate he was in Himori could not predict him. He watched as the chunnin slung some ore insults ad him and was about to step in by using the cage bird seal when Naruto pointed ad a training ring. Himori had not heard him speak form where he stood. He stayed back in the crowd as they circled the ring with the two in it.
As they both activated there byakugan signalling they were ready. Nothing happened Naruto stood still waiting for his opponent to make the first move. This was unusual for juken fights. The user of the juken always liked to have the first strike so the chunnin rushed to Naruto. Naruto almost never rushed a juken fighter saying there was an opening just before the first strike. Himori never really noticed that as he mostly rushed in like all Hyuuga when he could. So instate of watching Naruto he watched the chunnin and as he raised his arm for the first strike he saw it and wondered why he never noticed it before in all the fights he had been in. He decided to talk with Hiashi about it. He watched as Naruto broke his defence in those first seconds a moment before his opening move could hit. As the chunnin stepped in a wide stance for their close couthers fight Naruto smiled and kicked straight up right in the chunnin groin with all his power.
The chunnin was lifted in the air a few feet as he came down Naruto said you are in my field of divination and he struck the falling chunnin with an eight trigram sixty four palms technique. Himori was amazed and a bit shocked by this fight the brutality of his first move shocked him as Naruto had pointed out this opening a number of times to him he like any other had ever taken him all to serious he had seen it after Naruto had mentioned that it was there but he never had taken the time to do something about it as he never had seen or heard anybody taking advantage of it until today that was. He was also amazed at how far Naruto had come with the sixty four palms technique while he had not mastered it he had reached the point he could use it in a fight. And quite effectively as he had just shown. He watched as the chunnin was taken of the field on a stretcher unconscious. He decided to take Naruto out of here before someone would do something referable or another council member would stumble on this event with Naruto still here. Naruto he said as he walked up I see you improved your sixty four palms technique quite a bit one more level and I think you can start working on the 128 palms. Before Naruto could respond he continued with let's take your stuff home and store it properly.
An hour later Hiashi made his way to his fatter house he needed to speak to him and Naruto. More than one of the Hyuuga saw they leave after Naruto sent a chunnin to the hospital. And while everyone was reluctant to speak of what provoked Naruto. It had worried him that the boy had reacted the way he did over the years Naruto had showed himself quite capable to use words to put any body in his place even him one time.
He smiled and how a six year old boy had pointed out while he was scolding the boy for something inconsuquensual how he and the other Hyuuga had branched in on his training and where disrupting his flow and how a preach of protocol it was. He smiled that day as he walked off without saying a thing to the boy. While Naruto never was one for protocol he knew who were and used that against them. And with him being him Naruto had developed a pretty thick skin if it involved insults or trash talks and he could give as well as he got.
So for him to send someone to the hospital for an altercation something must have happened. Or the boy had snapped either way he needed to know. He found the two in a part of his father library Naruto used. He saw that there where a huge amount of extra scroll that where definably not copies or form the Hyuuga library. He watched the two places a set of blades in a standard behind the desk Naruto used like a set of therapies. When he looked closer he understood what had happened apparently the Hokage had given Naruto his mother's scrolls this morning. The chunnin had most likely said something about his mother as he was returning with what she had left him. He was most likely in a heighten and broken emotional state when the chunnin had insulted him.
And Naruto had decided to use that chunnin as an outlet for his cropped up emotions. He cleared his trough and said she was a unique women your mother. You knew here Naruto asked? Yes she and my wife where friends very good friends. That was one of the reasons we took you in as well. You should join me for dinner sometime this week and I will tell you some stories about her I wish I could invited you tonight but there is a clan meeting and some things need to be cleared up ad it and I think it best you were not anywhere near it when it started. Naruto gulped when he remembered what Hiashi was talking about. So if you don't mind I would like to speak with Himori for a bit. Of course he said I was going to practise a bit any way I see you later Hiashi san Himori jiji he said and bowed slightly as he left the library.
Himori remained silent until Naruto had left the house and said you know I was about to discipline that chunnin with the seal when Naruto pointed to eth sparing ring. Really you saw the whole thing yes I even heard what the chunnin said. Not Naruto words as they w where a whisper and I was standing a way a bit in the shadows. Why Hiashi asked? Well I wanted to know how he was when I was not there he has become quite skilled in putting up a mask I wanted to see how he was without it fully on. His mask is better when someone is interacting with him Hiashi asked? Much better and like I thought he was confused and understandably so. So someone lit his fuse hours ago and that chunnin blew on it making him explode. You could say it that way but as I said I was about to punish the chunnin myself for the insults he made against Naruto.
Outside some things about his mother what set Naruto of he also called in how he got his eyes and how didn't aspirated them and lacked the skill to use them. Bit still that kick was a bit uncalled for Hiashi said. Maybe but he has been warring us about that opening in our defence for four years and I think only Neji his regular sparring partner has changed his defence a bit to close the gap. But if there was really such an opening some would have noticed before. Really who do you know that would consider such an attack as an opening move and I mean calculated not in the heat of battle? No respected ninja would do it. But why it's a perfectly good kick ad a vital area of your enemy. And I worry about this opening the other that he mentioned to me worries me far more. What do you mean Hiashi asked? A few weeks ago he came to me he said he noticed and opening in Neji stance for an instance I told him to talk to Neji about it he said that when he reviewed it that he had the same opening. I told him good now he could fix it.
He told me that was not what worried him it was a basic opening in the juken stance. Nonsense Hiashi said there is no such thing. That is what I thought but I told him after he told what it was I would look in to it. Why Hiashi said well like that kick Naruto looks different to the juken as he is not a thru juken fighter but he is a master in them. And that has never happened in the history of the Hyuuga clan ever before. Thru we never had some like Naruto in the clan before. So you said out of caution that you would look in to it. Yes and the thing is when Naruto used that opening on that chunnin is seen it clear as day. It was only a split second when he was making his opening move but it was only for a split second. So how bad is it Hiashi asked. Not that bad. And that why no one saw it before. Only a Tai jutsu specialist would notice it but not in a fight against a juken user.
Why Hiashi asked? The first move against a skilled Tai jutsu user you want to make the first hit and so the first move. Yeah that is why Hyuuga always open so quickly. Yeah while Naruto has a way of rushing in to situations head first. He does not do that in a Tai jutsu bout. He always makes the first move by countering if he can. And the opening palm strike gives an opening for just that every time we use it. Only a very skilled Tai jutsu user could profit on a wide scale on it. I think Gai might have figured this out but outside him I wouldn't know someone who could. So what is this opening Hiashi asked? I split second to break our opening defence it's what Naruto use to get the chunnin in a wide stance you know the rest. The thing is if he wanted to end the fight quick and deftly he could have. In that stumble Naruto lightly tapped the chunnin on his chest as he changed stance as well. But if he had wanted he could have used an open palmed strike on the chunnin heart. Killing him instantly Hiashi said. Come with me I will ask Naruto to show you.
As they arrived at the training they saw Naruto going thru some unknown kata very slowly like he had just learned them and was familiarizing himself with them. Naruto Himori called out making the boy stop. I want you to show Hiashi the opening you used first in the fight you had with that chunnin I will attack you ad chunnin speed and I want you to repeat youth whole opening move.
Hiashi watched as his fatter moved a slow speed for him but what would have bent eh speed the chunnin had used earlier. He watched in shock as Naruto blocked his fatter opening move in such a way he could just step in his defence and tapped him on the heart making him step back in a wide stance that gave Naruto the same opening he had used to kick the chunnin. And while the second opening was very painful it did not worry him nearly as much as the first. Because as Naruto had showed he could easily use an open palm strike to take out the heart of the opponent killing him instantly. Thank you Naruto for the demonstration he said as he walked of deeply in thought.
As Hiashi walked of Naruto said so Himori jiji you found that opening as well. I did it was a very exception thing you did with finding it
