Naruto:Primary Step Chapter 10: Meeting
1 week later
The jonin meeting was over now the chunin meeting was already underway, now the jonin-sensei's are able to train with their students for the final exam.
After the "date" between Hikari and Naruto, Hikari disappeared and Sai was gone as well. Haku is getting medical ninjutsu training with her sensei Shizune since her ice style is pretty high already considering being the only one of her clan.
Gai-sensei was able to continue his rigorous yet youthful training with his students Lee,Tenten and Neji with them doing their own private training afterward which included Neji's byakugan training, and Lee's new technique.
Asuma and Kurenai's team have their own clans so Asuma and Kurenai just spend time together while their students work with their clans.
Shino is gathering more bugs, Hinata is getting some private training with her father, and Kiba is working with his mom on learning new Inuzuka techniques.
While team 10 train together, to keep their teamwork fresh, they also each are expanding their jutsu arsenal by two from their clans with Shikamaru learning the Shadow Strangle Jutsu and Shadow Stitching Jutsu, Choji had upgraded his Human Boulder Jutsu to Spiky Human Boulder Jutsu and he is learning the Partial Expansion Jutsu to increase his strength, While Ino is learning the Mind Disturbance Jutsu and the basic healing jutsu the Mystic Palm Jutsu.
With Tenten and Naruto at a playground
"So you need something to fall back on in case your weapons don't work?" said Naruto swinging on a swing
"yeah you have any ideas otouto?" asked Tenten sitting on the swing next to him
"Hm... maybe you should learn elemental jutsus, since I know if you have en element like wind you ca increase your weapon cutting ability and maybe get used to close range fighting even if your just defending yourself" suggested Naruto
"Your a genius otouto thank you I'll get started right away!" said Tenten happily giving Naruto a hug and kiss on the cheek making him blush
"No problem well see ya later oneechan" said Naruto walking off
Naruto was walking towards the training ground where a kid runs into him knocking both of them over
"Hey what was that for brat" said an irritated Naruto
"Say your sorry" said the kid
"And why should I you ran into me" said Naruto
"Because my name is Konohamaru Sarutobi and I'm the thirds grandson" said the now revealed Konohamaru 'Now lets see what he does'
"I don't care! Say your sorry!" said Naruto picking Konohamaru up to eye level
"Fine I'm sorry" said Konohamaru being dropped to the ground
"That's better" said Naruto walking away
A little later
"Why are you following me kid" asked Naruto turning around to find Konohamaru in a bush
"I need you train me" said Konohamaru
"and why should I do that?" questioned Naruto
"Because I need to become Hokage so I get to be recognized as Konohamaru not as the Hokage's grandson" said Konohamaru
'He had the same dream as me' "You know what I will train you once I become a chunin alright" said Naruto smiling at Konohamaru
"Alright and when I become a genin I'll be your apprentice" said Konohamaru smiling back
"Its a deal" said Naruto
Naruto later arrived at the training ground where he and his team were said to be at so Kakashi can tell them so news
"Glad your all here the jonin are supposed to tell there students that there is a genin meeting in a few hours" said Kakashi
"Is that all, whatever I have training to do" said Sasuke starting to walk off
"Well I got clearance from our Hokage to tell you guys some of the news in advance" said Kakashi
"Why us Kakashi-sensei?" asked Sakura
"Well it has to do with... well it... I don't know the best way to say this but its better if I show you" said Kakashi motioning for someone to appear "Well here is Itachi Uchiha"
"Itachi!" yelled Sasuke charging straight at his brother
"Now now Sasuke just hold on a minute we need to talk" said Itachi putting out two fingers to poke Sasuke's head causing him to stop
"Itachi here has something to tell us and it is true so don't try to call him a liar or making things up, there all yours Itachi" said Kakashi
"thank you Kakashi-san, Well first the Uchiha massacre was not me being insane it was a mission by the 3rd hokage and his advisors" said Itachi
"What do you mean" asked Naruto
"After the kyuubi attack, the Uchiha were accused of controlling the nine tails which is why the uchiha compound is so far away from the village, because of that the Uchiha started to plot against the village, at this time I was apart of Anbu so I was loyal to the village first so I was a secret agent to get details on the Uchiha clan" said Itachi
"That means..." said Sasuke with realization hitting him
"Yes Sasuke, in order to stop the Uchiha I was ordered to get rid of them, since I knew I had to leave I begged them to allow my little brother to be alive, so when I left I joined an evil group called the Akatsuki and kept the Hokage informed as much about them through summons" said Itachi
"So this whole time..." said Sasuke
"Yes I was not evil I only wanted what was best for you and the village" said Itachi looking down at his brother with sad eyes
"Um... Itachi-san what is the Akatsuki?" asked Naruto
"The Akatsuki are a mercenary group comprised of s-ranked criminals after the tailed beasts to use of some kind weapon" said Itachi making the genin's eyes go wide
"Th-there after me" said Naruto
"Yes Naruto that is why we are telling you all this early we need to make you three as strong as possible before they come and get you which should be in about three years" said Itachi
"Well what are we waiting for?" asked Naruto getting antsy
"The training schedule, I have organized lessons in medical ninjutsu with Tsunade-sama for you and the other girls Sakura but she is gonna make you her new apprentice" said Kakashi "Meet her today at the hospital"
"Alright" said Sakura making her way to the hospital
"Itachi agreed to train you to resolve some old bonds" Kakashi said to Sasuke "Plus he will be a secret until the chunin exams are over
"Hn" said Sasuke walking off with his brother to there compound
"What about me sensei?" asked Naruto
"Well Jiraiya-sama said he had some training for you but since he is out on a mission I will train you until then" said Kakashi
"Then what are we going to work on, a new jutsu, a super secret awesome ninja skill, a..." said Naruto
"We are going to work on the basics and improve them as we go" said Kakashi with an eye smile
"Fine, whats first"
"Chakra control and taijutsu, I want you to practice your taijutsu katas while balancing these 5 leaves on your hands and feet" said Kakashi handing him some leaves
Naruto was doing the exercise with a little difficulty since he felt uncomfortable doing the strong fist while balancing leaves but Kakashi shouted out advice as he went
"Alright next exercise is a least known exercise it's called chakra skating or can be called chakra gliding its when you use your chakra on your feet like the tree climbing and water walking exercise but you use your chakra to propel you to get a good burst of speed" said Kakashi demonstrating which looked like a quick side step but you could see the chakra in his feet
"Got it Kakashi-sensei" said Naruto beginning to practice
Naruto got exercise far faster than Kakashi had been expecting but he got over it
"Next is speed, were going to go over your hand seals so you can do it fast and I'm going to increase your weights, both of them" said Kakashi making Naruto eyes widen that Kakashi knew about his gravity weights
"How did you know?" asked Naruto
"My Sharingan, whenever I have it active I can see your seals all over your body when there active" said Kakashi
"Oh"
"No worries I won't tell the others about your weight training" said Kakashi "Now practice your hand seals for substitution transformation, Wind Style: gale palm and Water Style: raging waters in that order until it only take 2 seconds to do both of them and without on the other two"
"Alright Kakashi-sensei!" said Naruto with an arm salute
After about 2 hours Naruto can do the substitution and transformation jutsus without hand seals and do his Wind Style: Gale palm and Water Style: raging waters jutsu in 2 seconds
"Well thats enough for today meet me here at 7 alright" said Kakashi
"Alright see ya later" replied Naruto
Naruto decided to go to his favorite place Ichiraku Ramen for dinner since he hasn't been there in awhile on his way he ran into someone he was familiar with seeing Gaara of the sand on top of building
"Hey Gaara" yelled Naruto "What are you doing up there?"
"...Nothing..."replied Gaara
"Well do you want to get something to eat? I know a good place to eat come on" said Naruto continuing to walk off to Ichiraku ramen
Naruto ad Gaara arrived at Ichiraku Ramen
"Hey Teuchi, Ayame-neechan I'm here to eat and I brought someone else as well" said Naruto taking his seat with Gaara next to him
"You got it Naruto" yelled Teuchi from the back
"So Gaara how is the sand village?" asked Naruto trying to make conversation
"..."
"Alright lets try something simpler, how old are you?" asked Naruto
"13"
"Alright do you have any family members?"
"Yes my teammates are my older siblings and my father is the Kazekage" replied Gaara
"Cool, well our food is here" said Naruto breaking his chopsticks getting ready to eat
"Hm... what is this?" asked Gaara looking confused at the food in front of him
"Its the greatest food in the world try some" said Naruto watching Gaara eat his first bite of Ichiraku Ramen ramen's
"Its...delicious!" said Gaara thoroughly enjoying his ramen with slight crack on his face which can be perceived as a smile
"I told you so, let's eat" said Naruto digging into is ramen
Naruto and Gaara got along well considering Gaara hasn't really had contact with another human before but he was trying
"Man that was good food we should do this again sometime what do you say?" asked Naruto ticking his hand out
"...Yes we should" said Gaara slowly reaching out his hand eventually shaking it
"Well see ya later" said Naruto walking off
Hospital
"Alright good job Sakura your doing really well, lets call it a day" said Tsunade
"yes ma'am Tsunade-sama" said Sakura taking off her gloves
"Now I hear you like my nephew huh" said kneeling down to eye level with Sakura making Sakura blush
"Its alright I understand I'll make sure you get him your much more interesting than my other student Shizune" said Tsunade
"Hurtful" added Shizune in the background
"So what do you mean you'll help me get him?" asked Sakura
"hehehe" cackled Tsunade
With Sasuke and Itachi
"SO are you ready Sasuke? This is the training father gave to me now I'm going to pass it onto you" said Itachi
"I've been ready for 4 years bring it on" said Sasuke
"Good" replied Itachi
At Naruto and Sasuke's apartment Jiraiya came into Naruto's room to wake him up
"What is it Uncle Jiraiya I'm trying too sleep" said Naruto a little bit drowsy
"Well were beginning your training tomorrow so just be ready in the morning" said Jiraiya
"Hey can you fix Gaara's seal the Kyuubi was trying to tell me that his seal seems messed up and we wouldn't a bijuu running loose" said Naruto
'so the Kazekage's son is the jinchuriki' "Alright I'll do it" said Jiraiya shunshining away
With Gaara
"So you've come to fix my seal?" questioned Gaara getting his sand ready
"Yep it was a request from Naruto" answered the man
"...Naruto...Fine make it quick" said Gaara
Next Morning at Mount Myoboku
"Welcome to Mount Myoboku home of the toads" said Jiraiya
"Cool"
"Yup, this is where you get to learn some new techniques even some I don't know" said Jiraiya
"Awesome lets get started" said Naruto getting really excited
"Alright lets get started" said Jiraiya
Somewhere beneath Konoha
"Use it again" ordered a voice which sounded like Danzo
"But Danzo-sama I feel myself losing to its power" said Hikari
"then try harder we need to harness the power of the curse mark so you have to do it, AGAIN!" ordered Danzo
'...Naruto...help me'
I hope you enjoy it :)
