The first week

*Waterfall*Konoha's outskirts*Wednesday*

Jiraya looked at the red-headed brat that had managed to trick him. He had done as he had said and expected the kid to arrive before noon, not really caring if it was a blood clone, since it would be dispelled on the last week of the month if Naruto was like him on the 'always keep promises' thing.

"All right, since you are technically your original," started the white haired sage, "The first for YOU clone, will be practising sealing," the pervert smiled "By the time I'm done with you it will only be a matter of months for you to achieve your prime in the art"

The BNaruto took papers, ink and a brush from out of a scroll the Boss had made for him, but Jiraya shook his head and handed him normal ink instead of his custom made bottle.

That was something only people actually interested in fuiinjutsu would understand: if you wanted the best result with seals, you needed to make your own ink, with natural components and a bit of your essence; pomegranate from vegetable country and a bit of blood mixed with coal made some of the best ink for when putting seals on paper or walls. His tattoos used ink exported from sea country octopuses and true indigo flower from Mori no Kuni. It had been a pain in the ass to make the ink, but it was worth it.

It had also been expensive as hell to get the ingredients.

"In the mornings YOU are with me, you will practice fast writing" saif Jiraya, taking Naruto out of his thoughts, "a true seal-master can make seals even in the heat of battle and it won't take any more than a second" the man took out a paper from one of his pockets, "I want you to copy this in one minute, and make it READABLE"

BNaruto groaned but read the paper Jiraya gave him, trying to memorize what it said before copying it on the clean paper, messing up several of the kanjis trying to make it fast.

Jiraya started a stopwatch as soon as Naruto started writing and stopped it as soon as the minute passed. The man took the paper from the boy and read it over, wincing at some of the kanji and looking surprised at others, "All right," the man said, "You are better than what I thought you would be," Naruto smiled, "but it is still pretty bad, so we'll be practising until it is perfect in under a minute"

Naruto groaned and pouted, but started again as soon as Jiraya told him to.

It was a long day for the clone.

*Naruto and Yuugao*Same time*

"Okay Naruto-kun, when you, the real one, are with me we'll be working in strength, speed and agility." Said Yuugao.

The two of them were standing in the training ground that team eight used everyday for team sessions when not on missions.

"I found one jutsu when in the forest" started Naruto, "It's supposed to help me with dodging," he said.

Yuugao thought about it, 'It will help him eventually, but if he relies on it he will be finished as soon as he runs out of chakra' she looked at him, smirking as he fidgeted, 'he need control first, more than anything' she nodded, "I'll have your chisio bunshin working on it" said the purplette, "YOU will be dodging as I throw random things at you while you're wearing twice the weight you currently are"

Naruto paled as he heard that, hearing the snickering of Kurama and Kushina's proud declarations about Yuugao's training methods.

The purple-haired woman quickly put some weights on him, not giving him any time to counter, before going back to her position.

Naruto sighed as he adjusted to the weight he now carried, and started dodging when a rubber ball hit him in the chest, winding him.

By the end of the day, Naruto was bruised and sore from all the hits he had taken from the dodging training.

*Thursday*Jiraya*

"All right gaki," today we'll be working on your summoning contract" said Jiraya, to the obvious excitement of the red-head, "summoning is a branch of jinkukan techniques that deals with a way of dimension jumping, in a way" the sage patted the scroll on his back, "in itself summoning is useful, but relying on it, even if you contract is powerful, will end you eventually.

"You told me that the diary you found made the scroll to be the best thing on the island, but as I said, relying on it isn't recommended, so whatever the contract is, they should be able to teach you something."

Naruto nodded, having received the same speech from his mother, who received the speech from the Yondaime when she asked him to teach her to summon.

Jiraya continued, not noticing the thoughts of his student, "You'll start small while you get used to the drain, at best your first attempt will bring a low level or recently born animal, at worst you'll get a baby with no more than a day of live"

Naruto nodded as Jiraya handed him a scroll with the hand-seals for the jutsu, going over them until he could do them by memory and without stumbling over them.

It took him the better part of two hours.

Finally, after managing to do the seals four times with no mistakes and showing his temporary Sensei, Jiraya gave him the okay to proceed, but not before one tip, "build up and release the chakra in the exact moment, you'll know when."

Naruto nodded.

The red-head Uzumaki did the hand-seals as fast as he could without messing it up. Doing the last sign, the blond shoved his hand on the dirt and shouted "KUCHIYOSE NO JUTSU" using almost half of his reserves on the first tries of many.

A cloud of smoke rose from where his hand rested, covering the area from everyone and preventing Jiraya from seeing what Naruto summoned.

Once the smoke cleared, the perverted Sage raised one eyebrow in an impressed gesture and looked at Naruto, "I'll give it you gaki," said the man, "I never expected you would summon something past the four months"

Naruto grinned.

*Yuugao*

The purple haired ANBU looked at the blood clone that was standing in front of her; as she had predicted, the boy was a nervous wreck because of what the original had told him about her training methods, "your creator told me that he found a jutsu to help you dodge," she didn't pay attention to the nod, "during the morning until noon you will train on that, the same way I trained the original," she took some pleasure in his paling face, "In the evenings I'll work on your taijutsu and your bukijutsu with katas"

BNaruto cast the Mizu tsugite, almost falling as he felt his control over his limbs go straight to hell. Yuugao let the red-head regain control of his body, "for the single reason that you're a clone, no matter how resistant, I'm only using rubber balls and blunt shuriken, I don't want you dispelling in the middle of my training"

The clone nodded, the simple motion sending his head all over the place.

Yuugao threw the first ball relatively slow, but the clone did an exaggerated motion that sent his back to the floor while his head stayed up, watching as a ball came dangerously close to his jewels.

His legs folded on his side, the ball passing by his face.

Yuugao threw the first shuriken at him. He used his limited control to jump from the ground, letting the blunted weapon pass under him, but it hit him in the scalp as his feet landed, making him rub his head.

In that moment of distraction BNaruto was pelted by the rubber balls.

*Saturday*Jiraya*

"Ok gaki, today we'll be working on something YOU want" Jiraya told his student.

"REALLY?" he asked, the Sage nodded, "AWESOME DATTEBAYO" he immediately made ten clones and in seconds they eleven Naruto's were trying to do the chakra pillar.

Jiraya, confused since he had never seen such chakra control exercise, turned to the original and asked, "what are you doing?" he asked.

The Naruto's looked at the sage and said in tandem, "Well, you know bijuu right" it was a statement and not a question, everyone knew of the bijuu, "and you know this jutsu is derived from the bijuudama," Naruto showed Jiraya his rasengan, impressing the man. Naruto read his thought, "It's in the forbiden scroll, took me three months to do it right." Jiraya nodded, still impressed at the time it took him, since it had taken him a whole year, "well, I decided to do the same, but with the tails, instead of the destruction"

Jiraya nodded again, thinking about what could a pillar do to form a fully functional body part, "And how does that help?" he asked, "I mean, control is good and everything, but I doubt it can give you a body part."

Naruto hesitated, 'Tell him about it, not all, just' said Kushina.

Kurama nodded in agreement, 'Tell him you found it in the journal, that it's the first step'

'Thanks' thought Naruto, but then said, "it's a clan technique, the first step is creating a cylinder, stable mind you, half the height of your body," the red-head grinned, "Then you move it to the coxes and have an AWESOME TAIL DATTEBAYO" he shouted the last part, imagining himself throwing jutsu from the tail, growing more until the ninth and winning epic battles.

Jiraya sweat-dropped at the red-head's expression, doubting the sanity of his student.

The sage just snapped his student's attention back to reality and told him to concentrate on his exercise. It wouldn't be the last time he would doubt his decision of training Naruto.

*Yuugao*

Yuugo looked at Naruto; the red-head had been practicing dodging all morning, and now it was time to introduce him to a better style for his hayabusa no tsume.

Yuugao sat behind the red-head, smiling a bit as he moved to put his head on her tight as he did when he was younger, "you know Naruto,"he looked up at her through tired eyes, still bruised from dodging, "I've been teaching you how to properly use your claws, yet you don't use your feet enough,"

"But I do use kicks," argued the red-head, "I've caught you many time with them"

Yuugao chuckled at him, making him pout, "What I mean is that your weapon is in both hands and feet for a reason" she looked at him in the eyes.

"I remember fighting a ninja in the land of claws," she started, Naruto snapping his head at her in wonder, having heard only a few stories from his Nee-chan, "He used the same kind of weapons as you do, but he used them so well that he managed to take FIVE swords from me, do you want to know how?" Naruto nodded eagerly, so the purplette told him, "he caught me by surprise by mixing his kicks and punches in unexpected moments"

Naruto frowned, but tried to see where his sister was going, "We're going to be working on you using your legs more, which means more katas"

Naruto groaned, making Yuugao chuckle, but he stood up anyway.

*Iruka*

The scarred man looked amused as his adopted brother scowled at the walls around him, obviously hating the fact that he was in the academy again.

"Do we really have to meet here Iruka-nii?" asked the gennin

Iruka snickered, "Of course, how else would I get back for all the money I've spent on your ramen?"

Naruto growled and glared, making the pineapple-haired man let out a chuckle, "Don't worry though, we'll only be here for a while," Naruto kept glaring at him, making the teacher shake his head, "You told me that you have both a sensing technique and a sensing bloodline, right?" Naruto nodded, unsure of where his brother was going, "I myself am a sensor, part of how I could find you after your pranks, since I spent so much time with you it became easier over time"

Naruto looked deep in thought for a moment, before glaring even harder, "you're the reason half my hiding spots are CLOSED?" Iruka's amused face was enough answer, "you're lucky you're family."

"Today and tomorrow, and the other three weekends, we'll be working in you sensor abilities here, hopefully we'll have you recognizing someone's affinity and personality by the end of the month," Iruka lowered a screen in front of the blackboard, showing a map of the village and the training grounds, "I've taken some of my own time to hide some things all around the village, whether we're here, or you're training, or walking, or whatever, you'll have to find them during the month," The man grinned, "I'm pretty sire that you'll like some of the surprises, others not so much, but you'll have to do it"

Naruto groaned as Iruka went into lecture mode about the different kind of sensors and why they were so rare, it would be a long weekend.

That's the first week, next chapter are weeks two and three.

I bet you thought I would reveal the contract there, but no.

I have re-started exams, I hate my school.

Not much to say other than I've started the other two stories that were roaming my head.

I'll be working on the three of them so updates are going to be on all three at the same time.

Wait for updates, Review, you know the deal.
