I Don't Own Naruto


Naruto dropped the butt of his cigarette before grinding it out under his boot. Closing his eyes he took a deep breath to calm his nerves further.

The blond red haired Shinobi wanted to kick himself for getting so wound up by a genjutsu. The art may have been his biggest weakness but he shouldn't have gotten that explosive over what he saw. Even if the scene was a few of those closest to him murdered in cold blood. The blond almost wanted to light up another cigarette but decided against it, even his Uzumaki genes could only counteract so much damage in such quick succession.

"You know I'm almost beginning to regret showing you this place," muttered Naruto with a forced laugh as he turned.

"Why did you scream about Orochimaru?" asked Anko ignoring Naruto's comment.

"*Sigh* He trained me," said Naruto simply "For six months," added the blonde.

"That's how you knew about the curse mark," stated Anko, despite the fact it wasn't a question Naruto nodded anyway.

"Yes," replied Naruto lowly looking away from the purple haired Kunoichi.

"You had one?" questioned the woman.

"Have," corrected Naruto drawing a confused look from the pineapple haired woman.

"But you removed the one from me why would you still have one of your own?" asked Anko not sure why the blond wouldn't just remove a curse mark he was given.

"After you were given your mark they were improved, so I can't remove the new ones easily, mine was one of the first ones to be made with the improvements," said Naruto omitting the most shameful part of the upgrade, his involvement in it.

The two stood in silence, Naruto waiting for Anko to speak, Anko processing the information she had attained.

"Come on kid we have training to do," declared Anko with a grin.

"After all that you still want to train me?" questioned Naruto confused.

"Yeah I said I would train you and I will train you," spoke Anko.

"Alright," replied Naruto somewhat shocked.

"Back to the forest," ordered Anko vanishing in a swirl of leaves.

Naruto followed suit and vanished in a swirl of snow.


#Forest Of Death#

As the two once more appeared in the forest they found themselves alone, Yugao, Kurenai and Hana evidently having left while Naruto was calming down.

"So given that our spar was… a little more dangerous than I had planned and I don't like my life flashing before my eyes why don't you give me a run down on what you can do," spoke Anko getting a nod from Naruto. "I saw skill in Kenjutsu, Hyoton, which suggests Suiton and Futon, I know you can use Fuinjutsu, Kirigakure no Jutsu, which tells me you know how to kill a man or two and you are one of very few people I have met who uses a bow," listed Anko.

"I also know a few Raiton jutsu, can use chakra chains, have a few of my clan's relics, which as pedomaru's student I'm sure you know about," said Naruto looking to Anko for conformation getting it in the form of a nod.

"That all?" questioned Anko quirking a brow.

"I can use a little bit of Medical Ninjutsu, and I do have a summoning contract," added Naruto.

"With snakes?" asked Anko.

"Arctic Kitsune," corrected Naruto.

"Arctic Kitsune? Where on earth did you find that summoning contract?" inquired Anko. Naruto looked away from the woman who realised she wasn't going to get an answer anytime soon.

"Well I don't know many elemental jutsu, and of the ones that I do they are all Katon and Doton so I'm not sure how much help I can be there, Yugao's the sword expert, actually that reminds me she said something about that sword you pulled," declared Anko

"Yes it was Arashi Uzumaki's he gave it to me, no I don't know where he is now, he gave it to me because I am his nephew," declared Naruto in a deadpan tone.

"Whoa whoa kid calm down," spoke Anko holding her hands up in surrender.

"Sorry I've just been getting asked about him so much recently it's starting to get on my nerves," stated Naruto.

"Fair enough, Yugao was just curious if that is the real Eiga, I'll let her know, also letting her know about you not knowing where he is," said Anko.

"Thank you," declared Naruto with a smile.

"All good kid, Anyway, you seem to have your own sword style down anyway, how's your Taijutsu?" questioned Anko.

"Reasonable I know a few styles to various degrees and have made one of my own," replied Naruto.

"So not much I could do there either. Hmm, ahh, what about summoner jutsu?" inquired Anko.

"I said I have a summoning contract," declared Naruto.

"No I said summoner jutsu, not the summoning jutsu, Jutsu used with your summons" replied Anko, Naruto looked to the woman tilting his head in confusion. "Well depending on how your relationship is with your summons they can be a powerful type of jutsu, but when learning it's always best to start with your familiar," explained Anko. Naruto got the hint and bit his thumb before quickly flipping through hand signs.

Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Jutsu)," called Naruto as he slammed his hand on the ground. A cloud of smoke bellowed out from his hand as a four tailed white fox appeared in the smoke.

"Why have you called me Naruto-sama?" asked Ryko looking around not seeing any danger.

"I am learning a new jutsu from Anko-sensei here," spoke Naruto motioning to the woman. Ryko turned his head to the purple haired woman and growled.

"She smells of snakes Naruto-sama," growled the summon.

"It's ok Ryko, I know she does, she's not with Orochimaru," declared Naruto reassuring the Kitsune.

"Very well I will trust her, for now" declared Ryko narrowing his eyes.

"So what's this Jutsu Sensei?" questioned Naruto looking back to the purple haired woman.

"Well I think we should start with Kuchiyose Jutsu Pāsharu Yūkai (Summoner's Art Partial Fusion)," declared Anko. Naruto looked to the woman confused, Anko taking that as a sign to explain began to do so. "Kuchiyose Jutsu Pāsharu Yūkai basically does what the name says it fuses you, and your summon into one giving you access to the better aspects of your summon. It's somewhat similar to a transformation jutsu but at the same time distinctively different. For example while under a normal transformation you could make yourself a seven foot tall twelve tailed fox, but under the partial fusion you might only get the fox ears and nose," declared Anko.

"Actually he gains our ears, nose, tails, and claws," stated Ryko drawing Anko and Naruto's attention to the fox "and depending on which fox he may gain a temporary elemental affinity," continued the fox.

"Right then, well, the hand signs are Boar, Rat, Snake, Dragon, Tiger then you have to touch your hand to your summon, use about half the chakra you would use to summon Ryko here," ordered Anko, Naruto nodded before looking to Ryko who nodded to his summoner answering the unasked question. Naruto carefully flipped through the hand signs as instructed.

"Kuchiyose Jutsu Pāsharu Yūkai (Summoner's Art Partial Fusion)," called Naruto as he put his hand to the top of Ryko's front right leg.

However as the blond did this he and Ryko were suddenly thrown apart by a relatively small explosion, Ryko yelping in a small amount of pain and Naruto himself groaning as his back slammed into a tree.

"Too much," declared Anko simply.

"Really, never would have guessed," replied Naruto sarcastically with a groan.

"Again," ordered Anko, Naruto dragged himself to his feet and moved over to Ryko and repeated the hand signs, however instead of an explosion, nothing. Nothing happened.

"Too little," stated Anko, Naruto didn't even dignify her with a response and once more practiced the hand signs.


#Hours Later#

Naruto pushed open his door and stepped into his and Jiraiya's shared home. Closing the door behind him he moved to the lounge before collapsing on the couch. Anko had him training on Kuchiyose Jutsu Pāsharu Yūkai, dodging, by throwing kunai at him, speed, by making him run from her throwing kunai at him, and his genjutsu, by casting genjutsu after genjutsu on him and expecting him to break them, all at once.

Naruto allowed his eyes to drift shut shortly after he lay down.


#Mindscape#

And not a moment later the blond red head was in his mindscape and not even a second later he felt a pair of arms wrap around him.

"Hey Akane-chan," spoke Naruto as he leant his head back to look at his girlfriend behind him.

"Hey Naru-kun" replied said girlfriend planting a kiss on Naruto's lips, before pulling back with a smile.

"So…" said Naruto not entirely sure what to say.

"Hmm?" was the response from Akane.

"Nothing," replied Naruto taking Akane's hand from his midsection placing a kiss on the back of her hand. The action causing Akane to blush slightly before spinning the blond to face her and planting her lips against his.

Naruto was surprized when Akane didn't pull back after a second instead her tongue ran across his bottom lip. The blond shocked by the action open his mouth, the instant he did Akane's tongue invaded his mouth caressing his own tongue.

After a few second the two parted Akane smiling innocently.

"I love you so damn much Akane-chan," declared Naruto hugging the biju tightly.

"And I love you too Naruto-kun" replied Akane smiling enjoying the contact with Naruto.


#Several Weeks Later#

Naruto was still busy at work trying to get the Kuchiyose Jutsu Pāsharu Yūkai down, he had gotten to the point that he could pull of the jutsu, but was working on doing so faster.

"Sorry to interrupt you two," spoke a voice from the canopy above his and Anko's training area.

"Yugao what's up?" asked Anko looking up to her purple haired masked friend.

"Naruto the Hokage needs to speak with you, now," was the curt reply, and before any more words could be spoken Yugao vanished in a swirl of leaves.

"Well don't want to keep Hokage-sama waiting, might as well call it a day for now anyway we'll pick this up again tomorrow morning," declared Anko Naruto nodded to his sensei as Ryko dismissed himself, vanishing in a puff of smoke before Naruto even spoke.

With his dismissal Naruto turned plucking Samenikuya from the ground sheathing the weapon on his back before vanishing in a swirl of snow.


#Hokage Tower#

Naruto appeared outside of the tower and as soon as he did he sensed within the tower two signatures he hadn't sensed in a long time making his eyes go wide. Without any hesitation Naruto bolted into the tower, not even acknowledging the secretary as he rushed up the stairs.

Reaching the closed doors of the Hokage's office Naruto stopped to right himself and make sure he looked presentable, his heart was pounding, he hadn't seen either of them in so long, would things be different, he couldn't think clearly.

"Naruto come in my boy," called the voice of Hiruzen from inside the room, the blond stepped closer to the door, but as he reached for the hand he froze.

"Naru-kun, you and I both know they both care for you, even if they thought you were dead, or that you abandoned them, or whatever disaster scenario you can think of, they will still love you, get your butt in there," ordered Akane, Naruto swallowed the built up saliva in his mouth before he stepped into the room.

"Naru-chan," spoke a happily shocked distinctively feminine voice.

"Hey Kaa-chan" replied Naruto looking to the woman with a smile.
