Chapter 6

"So Naruto, do you have any dreams that you wish to accomplish? Anything specific?" Yat-chan looked at Naruto as they were quite slowly approaching her workshop.

"Nothing currently now that I've thought about it…All I want to do is to protect my mom from anything bad." Naruto said looking up to Yat-chan.

"Guess since you have no dream, you have plenty of room to carry my own; it'll give you something to do when you move about on your own again."

"So…what am I supposed to do? I guess learning shouldn't be too bad…I think." Naruto said thinking on how he can make his own fashion statement from then on.

"That's the spirit!" Yat-chan then ruffled his hair grinning. "Now, first of all, there are guidelines in order to sow clothing. Just like how there are rules how a ninja should be, the way in order to cook, create a weapon, clothing also follows their own guidelines."

"My head…ughhh….is ALL this information needed in order just to make stuff to wear?" Naruto asked as she placed an encyclopedia sized book into his hands.

"Yup, the basics are always first before you continue to the next. Just skipping ahead will leave you behind when you can't do the easier things properly. Make sure you memorize all of it by the end of the week, and in the mean time I will also give you some custom made clothing by me. I've made these in preparation for the day that an apprentice would come." Yat-chan said as she took out a huge box full of clothing.

"Wow…all this, is for me? How heavy is all that!" Naruto said in awe as he saw the size of the box pulled out.

"Don't worry, I had to do this when I was younger, it's only about 15lbs per each weighted glove which you're going to wear. I'm not going to put stress you out crazily upon weights as it won't increase your muscle mass to much. Until your about 14-16 years old would I advise you to be able to go insane on weights and that such because most likely your growth spurt should be done then. If you trained before then, you'll just look like an ugly mini muscle man, and you'll probably stay short for the rest of your life due to that the fat in your body can stretch and allow you to grown taller because it turned into muscle." Yat-chan said as she pulled out two black fingerless gloves with a golem imbued into it.

"Wow, it looks well done…" Naruto said as he was going to take the gloves, but suddenly as he grabbed it, it dropped to the ground.

"Haha, looks like you've never trained before, at least you're starting young, and it's for the best. These gloves are what you are going to wear as you read your book and when you start on the basics. Your fingers are open in order so you don't make mess ups on the detail. By the way, the reason why your glove doesn't look bulky is because of that golem symbol. The clothing I make is special compared to others; I engrave symbols or letters within the clothing which either adds a quality or improves the durability. I believe it is much like seals from a ninja village, except it doesn't hold things within." Yat-chan said before going to get cloth.

"Alright, I know I'm going to get strong now with all that you said. But I want to be stronger and faster then this Yat-chan, any chance there is anything that can increase the pace?" Naruto said as he started to open his book with struggling hands. As soon as he opened the first page, his hands dropped to the table that was close by from all the force used to hold it up.

"Increasing the pace is something only you can do. There's a chair behind you, you can use that. Don't worry, once you get used to those gloves, we can progress to other areas. You should also put on the apprentice clothing that I have made too. Each is weighted, but differently depending on the body as to not give too much stress. They absorb the moisture that you let on from the constant stress you are bound to release and evaporate it by causing friction rubbing across your skin." Yat-chan said.

"Hmmm…Alright! I'll go put on those clothing now!" Naruto said as he took off all his clothing to put on his new clothing.

Yat-chan sighed as she looked at what Naruto just did.

'I guess its ok for now…since he's still young and cute. Other things might have happen if he was actually older. Guess I'd better tell him about it later.'

"Don't worry, I won't charge those clothing against you, but I must get working on the other two's clothing. Also, try not to fall to much, may cause a dent on the floor, the last thing I would want of course." Yat-chan said before going to work at a steady quick pace.

Naruto's body slowly picked up from the ground already sweating from the weight. Thoughts of giving up crossed his mind already as the training was already getting to him, but protecting his mom weighed heavier against it. The first page was read being, What is a needle, and how do you stick it into the cloth for it to attach it to another cloth. Lame? Yes, but helpful, even more.

--Scene Change—

"Wow…so many things and so little times. Mom, how much money do we have left, or…how much money are we allowed to use?" Haku asked.

"Hmmm…A about 3/4ths of our money should sufficient enough to save up before we use those on living costs. 1/8th will be used for your training equipment, and lastly, the rest will be used on shopping." Jill said as they gazed on at the shopping district.

Then they walked past a weapon shop, sighing, both of them walked into the shop knowing that they had to do it sometime or later. There was no one there but weapons were shown everywhere.

"Greetings, I do believe you wish to make a purchase?" The man sat on the table before getting up to help the two with whatever they were looking for. After so many times, it became a daily routine.

"Excuse me, but I would first like to look at the credibility of your own abilities before we decide to shop here." Jill said as she walked with Haku to look at the blades contained to be shown.

The man there was just left in shock for it was the first time someone had actually wanted to verify his ability. Almost everyone just went for any weapon that he had and he could easily push their money to the limit and get it. But, he couldn't let such a good possibility go by and he would show her just how good a craftsmen he was. Plus, he was bored and he needed something to do, lately nothing had been going on in his life.

"I'm sorry, but if you are truly searching for excellent weapons, my name is Cleru and I can make them especially for you." He said with pride. "I have never seen anyone who actually questions a blacksmith's ability before, and I guess it's about time that I make something worth my ability."

"Your…Cleru?" Jill said in awe as she looked at the man in front of her. He looked just like any other person but had white hair; everything else was just like any other blacksmith would do. "But if this is true…your not a normal blacksmith either…you're a craftlord!"

"Wow…never expected to hear that name in a while, yes I 'used' to be a craftlord, but then I left the craftknight world just to live a normal life. I know what Sakuro meant now that he said it was quite a bother to live to protect a flame no longer there. We all parted ways then, but I still got my skills along with my friend." Cleru said

"WIFE" a voice said from behind the halls.

"Errr…ok, Wife…" Cleru pathetically laughed. "She is the one who helps me to create such superb weapons after I have crafted the shape. She adds the unknown attributes to each of the weapons, you have heard of the seven swordsmen right? Most of them have weapons specially created by the Lubert and his partner, but he's dead now."

"So these partner's of yours help you out…but we can't shop here for your weapons…their way too much, I've heard just one can cost more then a million dollars!" Jill exclaimed as Haku almost fainted at the price.

"You right, my weapons are worth that much, and since I trained wince I was young, I am stronger then every other Craftlord except Rahuan, who made the strongest weapons ever." Cleru said while thinking of how they can make up for the price. He seriously wanted them to at least buy one of his best weapons, but he can't sell them for free though. "I have thought about it, but I decided that I won't give anything to you."

Jill was shocked that after he wanted to give them the weapons so badly that he just blatantly said he wouldn't give nay discount of any such.

"But…you ju—"

"Your right, I said 'I' won't give anything to you, but if you or your daughter wishes to learn how to create your own weapons, I can allow my Wife to help you in the way to make it a powerful weapon. The ingredients however, will not be provided and you have to either get them or buy them yourselves."

Jill's eyes lit up as they were actually going to be trained by a legendary craftlord and his wife as well. She nodded her head vigorously as she pushed Haku forward who reluctantly went up.

"My daughter would like to train under you!"

"Are you sure? Wait no, I'll ask you little girl, are you sure?" Cleru said as he started kneeling down to eye level of Haku.

"I'm not sure I can be a person who makes such pretty and shiny things as these… I want to learn, but I've never seen a girl make these things." Haku said disappointed.

"I know plenty of girls who make their own weapons, each were brilliant craftknights."

"Really? What is a craftknight though…?" Haku said in a questioning gaze.

"A craftknight is just like any other blacksmith, but they must be able to use every single weapon they make. They are basically all training to make weapons and use it to its utmost potential. Even though I am known to be legendary craftlord, I still do not know how to wield every single weapon out there, because they have not been made yet. Each weapon needs to have the strength used by men, but must be delicate and unique in their own way which can only be created by a women's handling." Cleru said.

"So…does this mean you'll accept my child as your apprentice?" Jill said with stars in her eyes as she looked at him.

"Sure, why not? I haven't had anything to do and no one who was worth my time lately. I wonder if you'll be the one who can surpass me, I've had other apprentices before, but they never passed an average craftknight. Otherwise, being around a high level genin, low level chuunin in your case might be said." Cleru said. "Also, when your weapons get to the level of mine, they will have such high durability that they will most likely not break until you either go up against a weapon breaker of the same strength or maybe in 30 years."

"Haku, would you like to do this?" Jill asked Haku in an obvious tone of voice hinting that she wants Haku to pursue and master.

Haku sighed knowing that once she really wanted something to happen, she would continue to try things until they either agreed or something better happened.

"But mom, what about learning those abilities that you promised to teach me?" Haku asked respite that Jill would still want her to train under Cleru.

"Sure, I can still train you in that, which is more of a matter of manipulation then actually being tough to use. With such abilities such as yours, manipulation actually goes through a further extent then those with just a regular affinity for it." Jill said.

"Training her how to create weapons is all I'm going to do for her, but for anything else, she can use my workshop all she pleases in order to refine and polish what I teach her. For a craftknight, the only way to learn and improve is to teach yourself."

"Oh my! I believe we forgot to introduce ourselves. My name is Jill as my daughter here is Haku. I wish to tell you about our ability, but I can only speak if you swear as not to ever let word out."

"Will this hinder her progress in my training?

"Maybe, there is the possibility…"

"Alright, then my lips will be sealed."

"Ok, my daughter and I have a bloodline limit which allows us the manipulation of water to a large extent. Listen Haku, this is important for you to know too. Unlike others, we are able to detach and reconfigure the elements and attach them together in order to create H2O which should be beyond the extents of human possibilities. That is why our bloodline is feared so much as we can create a weapon anywhere even if within the desert. It does however, gives much stress depending on how wide the area we are doing it though. The strongest of us died due to overuse…you know the large river canal along the desert which is said to be sacred. He killed himself to create it…"

"Hmmm…I may not be able to help on that, but my wife just may be able to though. She has a natural manipulation for water as well, but cannot use ice though. Though with this ability of yours, I don't believe that you will be needing of a partner since you can fill the unknown element by yourself. Except most of the time, the weapon will be involving of your water element. If you wish, we can train you for about 6 hours a day, then you can have her for the rest of it. We can start next week probably"

"Oh thank you! Now that I think about it, how come there are so many skilled people here who are adept at fighting as well. First it was Yat-chan, now its you."

Cleru's eyebrows raised after hearing about Yat-chan and with the words 'first'.

"Ah, so you met her already? Well, if you wanted to know, this village is known for their craftsmanship in every way. Why else would I settle in this town or even have apprentices? It's even better in order to get money as people come flocking in to buy their things, though I only put in the average weapons out. It's not special, but my assortment outside aren't bad either."

"Last question, why do each of you say when we can't afford the items, ask for apprenticeship?" Jill asked the question irking her mind ever since he said he would teach Haku.

"Why you ask? It is because each of us loves teaching others; it is what keeps us busy as well since most of the time were pretty bored. So each of us promised to each other that if we were to open a shop, so most of us know the basics of EVERY store. This village just loves to learn new things and we just add in our knowledge. And yes, I do know how to make basic clothing, and everything else as well. And why we can all fight is due to the fact that we are also the main hit list of every bandit who want to score it big and be able to gain the best things to get their head on the largest hit list. Due to this, we each didn't have time to train in actual weaponry besides me, so they just adjusted what they did best in to a fighting style of their own. Though there was a problem when I trained a young man, he was dying to be trained so much that I had to. But, he used that power to try and overtake the mizukage and died or so they say."

Jill's jaw opened to say that these people were willing to train just about anyone because they were bored…

"Would you really train anyone who asks? I mean by the way it sounds, it seems so."

"Well, if they have the will to learn, it goes that we should always fulfill their desires whether good or bad in the end. Though if they ever return with evil desires, we all have the same right to kick them out."

Jill was in awe by their willingness to spread knowledge to others. Every person was like a flicker of fire which gave a spark to each other to grow larger and in the end every flicker became a wildfire of their own.

"Alright Haku, shall we go now? I do believe we should start training soon after we finish shopping." Jill said as she took Haku with her waving at Cleru. "Now…we go for CLOTHING! We forgot to go buy casual and good looking clothing while we were at that other place!"

Haku hummed happily as the both of them walked to the nearest clothing store to buy all the good looking discounted clothing. Strangely enough, the girls around them seemed to enjoy wearing clothing that was as small as her own. Shrugging, she looked at the pair of pants in front of her deciding whether or not she should buy it.

Author Notes: Wow, I bet that these new chapters are getting odder and odder by the minute. Haku becoming a craftknight, and Naruto sewing clothing. Well, if you were wondering on why I'm not making Haku a blacksmith sort of person, well I kinda…errr…think their really cool for some reason. Hahaha…so yes, even though the chapter followed out a little oddly I think, I'm getting to the training of both of the kids.

Oddly enough, for every story, I enjoy writing from when they start out young and explaining how they grow older. It takes a little while before the action comes in so sorry if you have to wait until then.

And yes, I do actually have a plot and a fighting storyline which should happen near after the time gap. The gap's going to happen around next chapter or the one after which will go to the part where they are around fourteen years old.
