Updated: April 17th, 2018

One week after the first training day with Jiraiya:

Naruto was walking through the woods near the park on his way back to the training ground that he and Jiraiya have been using for the past week. He was deep in thought about all the things that Kurama had said about the Biju, he was also thinking of who his parents might be since it was like a top level secret he wasn't allowed to know until he was stronger. They had to be high level ninja, no one is that feared unless they are ninja.

He was so deep in thought that he didn't even notice the girl he walked by until he heard a small crying noise and several thuds. He looked up and there was this dark haired balled up on the ground. That is when he noticed three older boys throwing rocks at the younger girl. Ever since Shisui-nii had saved him from those bullies, he would never let it slide.

He rushed over and immediately picked out the leader. He was a slightly bigger boy with shaggy brown hair. As soon as Naruto got close to him he punched him right in the face.

"Hey what was that for you brat!" the slightly older kid yelled at Naruto.

"I will not stand by and watch someone be bullied by trash like you!" Naruto yelled back clearly enraged.

The smaller one in the back made his way up to the leader that was still on the ground "Brother that is the one that mom and dad call the "demon boy". He must be a demon if he sides with the Hyuga and those soulless eyes."

"You will shut your mouth and leave this poor girl alone!" Naruto screamed at the boys.

"How about you try and stop us." The older boy said as he got up and ran at Naruto.

Naruto had expected this and had noticed that this boy moved hundred times slower than Jiraiya. So he could see his every move like it was in slow motion. He saw the punch coming that the boy had threw. Naruto immediately grabbed his wrist and flipped the larger boy over his back. As soon as the boy hit the ground he punched the boy in the face hard enough to knock him out.

'Man it's only been a week with Ero-sannin and I'm already taking out bullies. The perverts training really isn't half bad.' Naruto thought

With the leader out of the way, the other two weren't so sure about this. They looked like they were about to run away to their parents. That is when Naruto spoke up again.

"Take your friend here and go before I change my mind" Naruto said while staring at the other two.

The two then got the friend and made their way passed them. Naruto then decided to check on the girl to make sure she wasn't hurt too bad. When he turned around he was met with the prettiest girl he had ever seen. Her hair that was like a dark blue that surrounded her face, and a set of lavender eyes. He couldn't help but stare. When the girl noticed his stare she immediately blushed and started to poke her fingers together.

"T-t-thank you f-f-for saving me" the girl said shyly

This brought Naruto out of his shock "You are welcome, I hate bullies any way."

"Say what's your name? I haven't ever seen you before." Said Naruto

"I... am H-hinata H-h-h-hyuga." Said Hinata. She hated the fact that she stuttered when she was embarrassed.

"That is a beautiful name for a beautiful girl" Naruto said as a smile broke out across his face.

Hinata, however, couldn't take all of this. This cute boy had just saved her and now just called her beautiful. Her face got even redder then she promptly passed out. Luckily, enough Naruto caught her before she hit the ground.

"Hinata are you okay? Hinata? Hinata?" the boy was now shaking the poor girl. Naruto didn't even look up until he heard someone giggling. He looked up to see a woman that had the same color eyes as Hinata.

"What's so funny lady?! She might be hurt or sick" Naruto screamed at the woman.

"She isn't sick, trust me on that. I got here just in time to see you save my daughter from those bullies, and I would like to personally thank you"

"She is you daughter?!" Naruto's eyes widened a little bit

"Yes she is, you have already learned that her name is Hinata and my name is Heiwa the wife of Hiashi Hyuga the clan head of the Hyuga clan." Heiwa said as she smiled at the boy

Naruto instantly remembered the last name. He had been studying the history of the village with his clones in Jiraiya's training, and the first things he had to learn was what clans had helped found the village, and what clans had become a part of the village. He had recognized the name Hyuga from one of those lessons. He knew they were a very prestigious clan, known for their stoic attitudes. He knew that he had to be formal otherwise he might disrespect their clan and that was the last thing he wanted to do.

He immediately bowed to the woman and said "It is an honor to meet you, Hyuga-san"

Heiwa smiled at the boy but said "No need for formalities" she then noticed that she hadn't yet learned the boy's name.

"What is your name? I need to know the name of the boy who stood up for my daughter" Heiwa said. About this time is when Hinata started to wake up. She had heard the last statement by her mother and was slightly confused until she remembered what had happened.

"My name is Naruto uzumaki and I am the future Hokage!" the boy nearly yelled for the whole village to hear.

"Well it is very nice to meet you Naruto, and I'm sure Hinata would say the same thing, right Hinata?" Heiwa had noticed her daughter had woken up.

"R-right" she managed to say.

"I am afraid that we must be off, your father must be worried sick that we haven't gotten home yet" Heiwa said

Hinata looked saddened by this. This was the first person her own age outside of the clan that she had talked to. She wanted to be friends with him. Naruto had picked up on this and he made his choice.

"Hyuga-san, would it be alright for me and Hinata to meet up at the park and play?"

Hinata's face had brightened up instantly which didn't go unnoticed by her mother. Hinata was also shocked that someone outside of the clan had actually wanted to be friends with her. Most children either made fun of her or just kept their distance.

Heiwa smiled and said "Of course, if Hinata would like that." She looked down to her daughter.

Without hesitation she blurted out "Yes!"

Hinata then realized what she had done. She didn't even stutter! Her face got bright red and she started to poke her finger together. Naruto that this must be some nervous tick, most people had one, but Naruto couldn't help but smile.

With a little jump with his fist in the air "Alright! What do you say to next Saturday? That is the only day that I have free."

"That will be fine Naruto" Heiwa said smiling.

With that over all of them had said their goodbyes, and went their separate ways.

Naruto was now back on his walk to the training ground, where he was supposed to meet Jiraiya.

When he made it to the training ground Jiraiya was standing there. He was writing on a piece of paper. Naruto stood there for a few minutes for him to get done. Naruto finally got impatient and couldn't help but ask.

"Ero-sannin what are you writing about?"

"I am writing up the last of your training schedule."

"Really?! What am I going to be doing?" Naruto asked excited

"Well you are making good progress, you are already using twice the amount of weights you started with on the chakra rates, you are almost on intermediate level on fuinjustsu, which isn't that surprising since you are an Uzumaki. They are renowned for their fuinjustsu. Everything else you are making progress in. the first thing I want you to do is lots and lots of chakra control, then we will move on to shape manipulation of chakra, and then elemental chakra. You may make it to elemental chakra in about the month if you progress at the same rate. I am going to start teaching you some Taijutsu too, however I don't think one style would be good for you. You are pretty great at throwing stuff together mid fight, so what I'm going to do is teach you a lot of moves, and it will be your job to let it flow together smoothly. Fuinjustsu will start breaking in to more complex seals here pretty soon." Jiraiya said going over the training schedule.

Naruto was completely amazed by this, thought like 'I'm going to be awesome'

"Well let's get started!" Naruto yelled

"Okay, let's do. The first thing I want to teach you is to climb a tree without your hands." Naruto looked confused by this, but Jiraiya immediately walked to the closest tree and stuck one foot to the tree and began walking up the tree.

"You channel the chakra to your feet to stick to the tree. If you use too much, the bark will break off, but if you don't use enough then you will fall off." Jiraiya said

"First though I want to help you with letting out your chakra. So far you have only been able to let out large amounts of chakra instead of the smaller amounts you need to perform it correctly." Jiraiya said again.

"How are we going to do that Ero-sannin?" Naruto asked

"Okay I want you to make your five clones and then to get back into that meditative pose okay?" Naruto did as he was told and was sitting on the ground next to his clones ready to go.

"Now I want you to close your eyes and visualize the dam that we used to handle your chakra. What I want you and your clones to do is make a drain at the bottom of the dam, but let it flow into a smaller container, but then cut off the flow." They did as they were told and tried to visualize what they were told to visualize.

Two of them were having an easy time but the other three wasn't doing so well. They just couldn't get it to stay right. The other too had it done within a minute and asked what to do next.

"After you have that smaller container full I want you to add a spout to it, and allow small amounts of your chakra to flow out." After a few minutes the two clones were doing it. Small amounts of chakra were indeed flowing off the young boy.

"Now you two I want you to dispel to allow the other one your knowledge" said Jiraiya, the two clones did as they were instructed and immediately the faces on the others lit up.

"So that how you were supposed to do it!" yelled one

"Naruto, this exercise is supposed to help you with chakra control. However, with how large your reserves are this little exercise helped a lot, but you will probably never have good chakra control. You just have to keep working on chakra control though, okay?"

"No problem, Ero-sannin! Don't you worry I'll either work my butt off till I get my chakra control good enough or ill find away around it!" Naruto yelled.

Within a few moments all of the rest of the clones and the original were doing it just fine. "Now you can use big amounts of chakra by just letting it flow, and you can use small amounts of chakra like you just done." Jiraiya said

"Now get to work on that tree climbing" Jiraiya said as he tossed up Naruto from his sitting position.

-HOURS LATER-

Naruto's cloths were dirty from falling a few times off the tree, but he had done it. He had made it all the way to the top of the tree. Jiraiya knew that some people had done it fast, but this fast had completely stunned him. It wasn't even close to getting dark yet, and they started just a few hours ago.

'When he said he would work his butt off he wasn't kidding, regular kids would be in the hospital from that kind of work out.' Jiraiya thought

Jiraiya let out a sigh "Well I guess we can move on to the next one. It is also one of the reasons why I chose my training ground instead of the public training grounds. We have a pond just for this next exercise."

"A pond, Are you going to use chakra to walk on water?" Naruto asked

Jiraiya stopped and looked at the boy. Naruto had just caught on faster than Minato did when he was Naruto's age. If he was quicker on the uptake than Minato, then when he thought this boy was going to be good, then that was an understatement.

"Yes that is what I will be doing." He said walking over to the bond. He then stepped out onto the water, and he didn't sink.

"This is your next exercise, so get to work." Naruto didn't waste any time, he immediately went over to the water. If his thinking was correct you had to disperse your chakra through the water that was under your feet, but have it flexible enough to roll with the water. When he got to the edge of the water he created 5 more clones and began testing his theory.

Jiraiya just couldn't be surprised any more. He was starting to get used to it. His god son had figured out the tree walking exercise in just a few hours, and now he had figured out the water walking exercise in just over thirty minutes. He was now going to give him the really advanced stuff. He walked out on the water to Naruto.

"Naruto, since you figured this out I'm going to give you an even harder one. I want you to watch me okay because this one is way passed the water walking." He said

Jiraiya then had visible chakra form in his hand, it compressed all the way down to about the size of a small ball, but it wasn't shaped. He was saving that for later. Just after that the water and he started to spin in a circle, but the chakra was still in his hand. He was doing this to help the kid. He was trying to teach him the chakra control needed to be able to master his father's jutsu later on in life. He just wanted to teach him so it could be a little easier on him.

"I see what you are doing. You are compressing the chakra in your hand, but also pushing chakra through your feet and rotating it to spin" Naruto said as he was watching Jiraiya very closely.

"That is correct, and now it your turn to do it." Jiraiya new this one would take a bit longer so he walked off the water and sat down under a tree.

This time it took Naruto a lot longer. It was starting to get dark, but he was on the verge of getting it with the help of his shadow clones. Jiraiya had been watching him this whole time, he knew he was getting close, but also knew that he needed to stop and eat.

"Hey Naruto! Stop for the day, come over and get something to eat." Jiraiya said as he was unrolling a scroll. He applied a little chakra, and poof food was laying before them. He usually made food for them for after training because he knew that Naruto had worked off a large amount of energy and he would need to replenish.

"Okay Ero-sannin, I'm on my way." Naruto made his way over and flopped down into the soft grass and just rested for a little while. He sat up after a few minutes and started to eat. They ate their meal in silence, and when they were done Naruto spoke up as Jiraiya was packing the stuff up.

"Jiraiya-sensei I need to tell you something." This perked up Jiraiya. He knew the only time Naruto called him by name was when he was wanting a serious conversation.

"What is it Naruto?" he sighed

Naruto looked at him with a serious look and said "I know about the fox. He has been helping me train."

Jiraiya thought he couldn't be shocked any more. His five year old god son had found out about the fox, and talking to him none the less!

"Wait what?! Has he been trying to influence you?" Jiraiya almost yelled out.

Naruto was a bit mad at this. "Please don't jump to conclusions, Jiraiya-sensei. I will tell you what happened."

Naruto started to recall everything that led to him meeting the fox and what the fox had said, and what he had been teaching him so far. Jiraiya soaked up this information like a sponge. He now knew that he would have to change somethings in his training schedule for Naruto after this, and began making mental notes. While he was at it he also told Jiraiya that he had met Hinata.

"Well I'm glad you told me this now, it helps a lot." Jiraiya said

"I can incorporate the fox's training in with ours so that you progress faster." He said "Tomorrow we are going to finish what you are working on then move on to shape manipulation. You are moving a lot faster than I predicted. Most people don't master those techniques in one day, let alone almost three in one day. What I want you to do now is go home and get some rest. I will let you have a couple of days next week so you can play with your new friend." He said as he giggled like he does when he is writing for his books, but Naruto hadn't noticed this as he was thinking of how he was going to get a hold of Hinata. He would just get Jiraiya to tell him where she lived and he would stop by to ask one day.

"Well Jiraiya-sensei, no one can train with the shadow clones like I can. I pretty much done about a month or more of training today. Shadow clones are the only reason why its going by so fast, it's almost like cheating." Naruto laughed while bringing his hand up to scratch the back of his head.

Jiraiya could help but laugh and nod at how true that was. he would also have to adjust his training schedule to account for the speed of his learning due to his Shadow clones.

With that said and done Naruto and Jiraiya left. Naruto went home and immediately fell asleep.

-TIME SKIP TO A FEW MONTHS LATER-

Naruto was walking toward Hinata's home to go see if she could play. Over the few months, he had been playing at her house, or they would go to the park. He really enjoyed himself, he had made his first ever friend. He was ecstatic about this. Within a few minutes of walking, he had made it to the gates of the Hyuga compound and had asked the guards if he could get in to go play with Hinata. The guards had gotten used to Naruto coming over the past few months but they couldn't let him in this time.

"I'm sorry Naruto, but we can't let you in this time. The Hyuga are hosting delegates from the Land of Cloud for a peace treaty, and we aren't allowed to let anyone in unless it's for business." The guard on the left spoke up.

Naruto was a bit sad by this but he knew when it was important. "Alright guys, thanks anyways, can you at least let her know I stopped by?" he asked

"Of course Naruto." The guard on the right spoke up. They had become quite fond of Naruto, but as Hyuga they couldn't let their feeling show.

"Thanks guys" Naruto said before he started to walk off.

-Meanwhile in the Hokage's office-

The Hokage and the other men were just wrapping up all they needed for the peace treaty. Hiashi, the clan head of the Hyuga, and the man Pawa from cloud hadn't gotten along at first, since Hiashi knew of the Clouds hunger for bloodlines, but that is why he chose the Hyuga to host them, they could watch everything he did.

"I believe that is everything" the Hokage let out a sigh. All the men stood up and shook hands. After the meeting Hiashi and the Hyuga guards guided Pawa back to the compound and the Hokage went and retired at his home. What none of the leaf villagers knew was that Pawa's real orders where to kidnap the daughter of the Hyuga clan head. He was planning this for tonight. He would sneak out of his room after dark and kidnap her from her room.

He had learned the layout of the compound and had found her room the night before. They finally got back to the compound and settled into their rooms. Pawa waited until nightfall to get ready for his operation. Before anyone knew what was happening he would already be off through the dark. As soon as he was ready he snuck out of his room and went straight to hers.

It was easy to grab her, she was asleep and no one was guarding her. He immediately tossed her in a big woven bag and jumped back out of the window. He then began running across the roof tops, after a few minutes he stopped on the ground to catch his breathe. He knew no one would be coming this way, and he had to catch his breath since he had been holding it in the whole time.

Naruto had just got done doing some extra training and was making his was by the outskirts of the clan district. He had decided on doing some extra training, since Hinata couldn't play. He chose the closest place to the Hyuga compound. He had trained all day and lost track of time. Before he knew it, it was already dark. He was now going home.

He decided to take a short cut through another street, but was surprised at what he saw. A man in clad black was standing there with what looked like a sack over his shoulder. He realized this wasn't a sack when he saw it started to squirm and he heard whimpering.

He knew right then and there that he had to do something. Someone was being kidnapped. He raced toward the man.

' I only need to lay a hand on him. Ero-sannin taught me that paralysis seal last week so as long as I can touch him everything will be fine'

Pawa heard the footsteps come running behind him. He was so surprised he hesitated. This hesitation was all Naruto needed as he laid his hand on his lower back. Naruto let out a grin, and Pawa's eyes shot out in shock that he couldn't move.

Naruto then went straight for the bag to untie whoever was in it. He was shocked as he opened the sack.

"Hinata-Chan! Are you okay?" Naruto asked as he was really worried. He began going over her like a hawk to make sure she was fine.

"N-n-naruto-kun, I'm f-f-fine now you saved me." Hinata said.

Naruto smiled at her but remembered that he had a jonin in a paralysis seal and he needed to tell someone. He then made the sign for shadow clones. Two poofs where the sign that it worked. He looked at both of them and said

"You need to go tell Jiji, and you need to go get Hiashi" both of them sped off in different directions. After a few minutes he heard a loud crash from the Hyuga compound. The next thing he saw was a white blur. Naruto was standing next to Pawa. He knew that Hiashi would come to try and kill him, he should know because the first time that Naruto had come to visit he and Hiashi almost got into a fight over the treatment of the branch family.

Naruto quickly stuck out his hand and touched Hiashi. Hiashi was frozen instant, he knew what the boy had done and went ballistic.

"Boy, I have a right to kill this scum, now let me loose!" Hiashi yelled

"I will do no such thing. As soon as you kill him the Cloud are just going to claim for retribution, and if you do it then he is going to want your head. No one is going to touch this man until Hokage-Jiji gets here." He said, and right on que the Hokage jumped down from the roof tops.

"Naruto, what is the meaning for all of this?" he asked

"Jiji, I caught this man trying to kidnap Hinata." Naruto said while pointing at the man.

The Hokage immediately recognized the man, and sighed. He started to rub the bridge of his nose. He knew this was going to be a hassle but it had to be done.

"Someone get me inoichi, also someone send word to the Raikage. One of his men has been caught trying to kidnap the young Hyuga heiress. He is being taken in for questioning, and if it is true then his man will be executed in front of the village. I am tired of the other villages thinking they can walk in here and do as they please. As international law states I can and do as I please if foreign ninja come into my village and commit a crime." The Hokage told his ANBU

"If he tries to claim otherwise, then let him know that if word gets out about this then the hidden Cloud will lose all close relationships with other villages. None of the other major villages will be allied with someone who would kidnap their shinobi, or important figures. No one would be able to trust them." He continued.

With that the ANBU were gone and already doing what was told. Within a few minutes they had dragged of Pawa to the T&I department. As soon as he was gone he let Hiashi out of the seal.

"I am sorry Hyuga-sama but you are Hinata's family and I will not risk her family getting into trouble." Naruto spoke up.

Hiashi and the Hokage were surprised by this. Neither one of them knew how much the boy cared this much for the Hinata. They both couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"It is fine Naruto, I understand now why you done it, but please from now on don't." Hiashi said

"If my precious people are in trouble then I will do anything to protect them." Naruto spoke with a determined look in his eyes. The Hokage couldn't help but smile at this.

"Naruto you need to go home, and get some rest. I am sending Hinata to do the same." The Hokage finally spoke up again.

"Okay Jiji, goodnight!" he said, but before he ran off he walked over and hugged Hinata. Who blushed immensely and then ran off to his house to get some sleep.

-A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER-

The Hokage had gotten word back from his message to the Raikage, and it wasn't good. He had too many details of what happened than what were disclosed. However, there was no claim for retribution. He guessed that the Raikage knew that if he pushed for war then nothing good would come from it. He had no way to benefit, and with no benefits he decided not to take action. He did not apologize for it, more like a letter of the ninja would be punished, but everyone knew that wasn't going to happen. The Hokage then snapped his fingers and a Dragon ANBU had come out of hiding.

"Dragon, I want you to find our leaks and terminate them, also if you could I would like you to summon Jiraiya to my office." The Hokage said with a stern voice.

"Understood, Hokage-sama" the dragon masked ANBU said before taking his leave.

The Hokage decided to get some paper work done while he waited for Jiraiya to show, and apparently he didn't have to wait long. There was a tap on his window about thirty minutes after he sent the ANBU away.

"You needed me sensei?" the younger white haired man said

"Yes Jiraiya we need to talk." The Hokage said has he wanted to have a serious conversation with the man.

Jiraiya took the hint and grabbed a seat across from his desk.

"Jiraiya I need your help. If it wasn't for Naruto just walking past at the right time the other night, then that Cloud ninja would have definitely gotten away. We need another line of defense than just the ANBU making their rounds and the Uchiha police force being called only when trouble has already happened. "The old Hokage said

"What do you plan on doing sensei?" Jiraiya asked understanding what he was getting at.

"I want the Uchiha to stay the main police force but I want a secondary division. Made up of some Jonin's and Chunin's. I want this division to make rounds like the ANBU but on the opposite rotations around the village. They will also work with the T&I department, to check for leaks and cover any if they are found. This division should be like a mixture of all ANBU, T&I department, and police force together. Also this will be used for ANBU who get tired of the ANBU life, and or Jonin's that want to go into ANBU from this division. This will also help the Uchiha with some of the work load."

"So basically a second police force but with more aspects to hit. More like a security division that takes pressure of both the ANBU and the police force. I like it, but what is my job here?" Jiraiya said.

"I want you to pick the ninja required. I am naming you the Co-head of this division. We have spies in our village and no way of protecting our selves from them so we need something and someone who knows how to deal with this problem"

Jiraiya knew that this was serious and he needed to get to work soon. He needed to leave in a few weeks to go check on his spy network. He needed to get this done, and he wanted to see if the old man would let him take Naruto out of the village for a training trip. This incident may be what he needed to get his incentive across.

"Alright, I will get to work." With that Jiraiya grabbed the stack of folders to go through to set up this new division, and then he was gone.

The Hokage let out a sigh "at least we have that under control now"

I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter!
