Sakura's POV

Now I have to convince Jiraiya to teach Naruto. Dammit, I should've done this before hand? Satin why me?

I went directly to the women's side of the hot-spring and saw the old hermit looking through a hole. I grabbed him by his white hair and dragged him away from the springs, saving those poor females innocence and sanity. "Hey, hey what the fuck! Woman! Let me go! I need to do some research!" Jiraiya howled, struggling in my grasp but I just pulled at his hair some more. "Sakura I swear if you don't let me go right now-"

"Shut. The. Fuck. Up." We were already in a secluded part of the forest when I pulled off my henge, my demonic form and chakra surrounding me but never strong enough to grab the attention from the village. He gulped and did as I said. "I need a favor from you, and it has no room for your research." I say, calming down enough so my dark chakra isn't visible around me. "I need you to help me train Naruto-kun once I go to train my other two students." I state, my long red tails swishing silently beside me.

"And why the Hell should I do that? I don't owe you anything! Besides, I need to do my research so I can write a new story for my loyal fans." Jiraiya snaps, turning his back to me and starting to stomp off like a child.

"You do not owe it to me. You owe it to Minato, for if it weren't for me Naruto-kun possibly wouldn't even be alive. If I am correct he trusted you to watch over the child when he died, but you did nothing. Instead you left and didn't look back to Minato's own son. You left him to fend for himself. You are just a disgrace as a godfather if you refuse to teach your students son." I growl, my eyes shinning bloody red.

That fact made Jiraiya stop, and he cursed under his breath before turning to me. "Alright fine, I'll do it for Minato. But in return I get to do my research."

I fazed from his line of vision, and quickly reappeared in front of him, my tails constricting around him like a python. "You can do your research all you like after you are done training Naruto-kun for the chunin exams, never in between. If I find out from him that you did, you shall experience some very unpleasant things." I spit, baring my enlarged fangs. He gulps and nods. "Good." I pull away from him, and wrap my tails around myself. "I am going to teach him how to control Kurama's chakra, so he doesn't turn on him at a moment of weakness. I will also teach him how to use small amounts if the Akatsuki ever decide to make an appearance." Jiraiya stares at me in shock, and I roll my eyes. "You really thought I wouldn't find out? It's like how a kit finds out about sexual intercourse, gossip." I scoff. "I need you to keep a close eye on his seal, since I have no knowledge of it. If anything seems to go terrible, as in Kurama is about to escape and you can't control him, contact me immediately." I sigh as I remember when I saw my old friend, he immediately tried to kill me. I was heartbroken, but I plan to get him to warm up to me again. My face is hard again. "You can teach him any human jutsu of his element that he won't die from and help in human chakra control, since I have none and believe my technique's for it would barely help. After you deem him well you can teach him any additional topics of your liking. Any questions?"

He ponders, mockingly I suppose when he scowls. "When did you decide how I would train him?"

I have a poker face, one that would make Naruto-kun laugh just because. "When I saw who he was up against. The demon of the Sand, Gaara. Naruto-kun needs to be extra prepared, and have his full strength and control if he wants to get past the sand guard. After that, if you still wish to train him, you can teach him with no boundaries. But his seal and my knowledge are still mandatory. Am I understood Jiraiya?"

The hermit nods. "When do you want me to start?" He crosses his arms and looks at me expectantly .

I cross my arms and mock his expression. "Whenever I go looking for you. Whether you're peeping or not." I smile a fanged smile. "Pleasure doing business with you." With that, I pull up my henge and walk away.

Next Day

I left the house at the early hours of 4am, having left a note beside Naruto's bed on where to meet me. Right now, I am meditating upon the very top of the mountain closest to the village, but still hours away. This trains Naruto-kun on stamina and tracking, to see if he could make it here before the day ends and find me up here.

My henge has been cancelled, so my tails swish with the air waves blowing against us. My eyes stay closed, and I focus on the nature chakra's abundance, gathering it into my palm and forming a glittering diamond of black chakra. Yes black chakra. Only demons of my power have this color chakra, not even humans can reach it even though historians say it's possible. All of those humans were demons in disguise.

I had tossed my black jumpsuit into a cave, and was covered in only a red sports bra and adjustable blue shorts. It's too hot up here to wear the jumpsuit, especially in black.

I sucked the dark chakra as well as the nature chakra back inside of me, breathing deeply to adjust to the new sense of chakra flowing through my veins. Looking at the sun, I could tell it was long past noon. Standing on the peak, I looked over the edge of the mountain. All I saw was clouds, and I rolled my eyes before sending chakra to them to see through the white water molecules.

Naruto-kun was just then reaching the base of the mountain, clearly out of breath. I scowled, I had really believed he would make it without doing so much damage to his lungs, but it was for not. I could see from here how constricted his lungs are, and knew he wouldn't be climbing the mountain anytime soon. Too bad that's part of my training, push your self beyond the limit. Adjusting my legs, I jumped from my perch over the mountain side.

Oh stop mentally screaming, I can hear you. Besides, it's not like something as small as this could kill me. Nothing can kill me, a lot like that Jashin worshipper, Hidan. Yes I know him, gossip coming through from demons that dared to approach me. The immortal Akatsuki member who had quite the mouth.

I spotted the Earth's surface coming closer, and moved away from Naruto-kun before flipping over and landing in the ground, causing a massive crater. A large dust cloud surrounded me, and I blew it away with my tails acting like a fan.

"S-Sakura-chan?!" Naruto-kun ran into the crater and hugged me around my waist. "You gave me a heart attack! How could you just jump and land without chakra like that? You could've gotten hurt!" He cried, and I could see his beautiful cerulean eyes were glassy with water.

I run my clawed fingers through his messy blonde hair, careful not to touch his scalp, and heard him purr. "Sorry to worry you Naruto-kun, but I'm a demon, and a little jump like that can't hurt me." I assured, and he nodded before pulling away. My eyes become hard, the red becoming clear as they faded from emerald. Naruto straightened up, recognizing my stance of business. "We have much training to work on, including your stamina. If you don't have a large stamina, there's no way in Hell you'll be able to control anymore of Kurama's chakra than you already can. I'll start you off with some regular mundane exercises, run around the mountain 15 times, run up and down the mountain 10 times, and balance on the top of the mountain for five minutes. I'll be increasing the number as the days pass before I actually teach you how to gain control of Kurama's chakra." I stated, and my blonde fox gave me a horrified look. "Any complaints and I'll double your work."

Naruto groaned before starting his exercises. I teleport back to the top of the mountain, and summoned my demonic chakra into my palm. The black chakra swirled like a tornado around my hand before becoming a long spear of chakra. I examine my chakra spear for a moment, wondering if a simple technique such as this could be taught to the kit. I dispersed the chakra, and sighed. No, that would be too challenging. Though, to be teaching a human demonic arts, all of the jutsu's will be challenging. Perhaps I should discover a more simpler method of controlling demonic chakra. Yes, but I'll have to think on that, hopefully one will come to mind before the sun sets.

Naruto's POV

Sakura-chan's trying to kill me, I've come to that simple conclusion really quickly. I was on my last run up and down the mountain, and I can't feel a limb in my entire body. Iruka-sensei said I always had a large amount of stamina, and I believed him. How wrong he and I had been. My hell-driven sensei didn't let me rest for a while, saying that in real life that you got no breaks, and dunked me into a nearby waterfall to cool off. The water may have been freezing, but it was a relief no doubt. Not when you're as hot as the sun and your skin looks like you got dark red paint dumped on you. Lucky for me, Sakura-chan healed me quickly with her chakra, not even breaking a sweat when she healed everything.

As I reached the top of the mountain, I found Sakura-chan in the same spot she's been all day, playing with her damn chakra. Isn't that dangerous or something?! I took a peak beside the demon, and balanced for an irritating long five minutes. Who knew concentrating on your balance could be so hard? "Sakura-chan." I groaned in agony, collapsing on the rock just below her. "I finished, but what's the balancing for anyway?"

Her black chakra -black chakra?- faded out of existence at the sound of my voice, and she dropped her hands while looking at me. "Good." She replied distantly, looking up at the sky and seeing the sun getting close to setting. "Balance is a good method of practicing your mental stability. The more you concentrate on it, the easier it'll be to control demonic chakra. Do you have enough energy to perform the last task?"

I debated on that, it must be a trick question. "Depends on the task." I moaned, laying on my back and staring at the darkening sky.

"How about this?" She called, and I looked up to see she was holding out her hands, fingers spread, with dark black chakra swirling around them. It formed into chakra claws, and Sakura-chan slashed one of them through the mountain peak beside us, cutting it clean off. "This is partially related to the Twin Lion Fist of the Hyuuga clan, but with my own twist. Demonic chakra claws that could cut through anything. It's a simple demon technique for beginners, such as kitlings." She grinned a challenging grin at me. "You think you can handle it." I glared.

"Of course I can handle it! I'm Naruto Uzuamki! I'm going to be the next Hokage, and nothing as simple as this is gonna stand in my way!" I roared, my voice echoing across the mountains and making the ground shake. I yelped before holding onto the only piece of ground I had, glaring as I heard Sakura-chan laughing at me.

"That's good to hear, because that's going to be your goal Demonic move. If you manage to finish that before the end of the week, I'll give you a new move. Now, from this day forward I will add five to your exercises. Then after a break, I'll allow you to practice the jutsu. Tonight, we sleep." Sakura-chan stood nimbly, and pulled her black robe over her shoulder, and I could see the sweat glistening off her skin, which was now tanner than I've ever seen it.

I was going to complain, but the pinkette only grabbed me by the scruff of my shirt and put me on her shoulders. I slumped down on top off her head, and felt the drowsiness really start to get to me. "Sleep Naruto-kun, you'll need lots of energy tomorrow." Was the last thing I heard her whisper before darkness consumed me.
