Naruto is naturally impatient and I see him doing good in school as a red flag to those that would notice...

He would never be able to hide improvements with his canon self... he is too much a target and too impatient.


Naruto's everything ached as he summoned his Waterclone, filled with Kyuubi's power. It was the first thing he learned, and to his shock it was pretty easy since according to Kyuubi it took so much power. It took a whole four hours to learn and the entire weekend to master, but he had managed to do it to his pride and that was while also practicing to master the Tree Climbing technique, and his mother's taijutsu style which was called Raging Tides, as well as refining the little bit of the academy taijutsu he knew.

Waterclones were great dummies to fight against, Naruto felt himself get so much better at taijutsu using them. By the weekends end, he had a much better grip on both, to the point he felt that he would actually be able to win a single fight in the academy instead of losing them all.

"Go to school, there is no combat today so you should be fine."

The clone nodded and hurried away, to the Academy where it would sit in his place, allowing him the full chance to study, work out and get better. He had to adjust his mother's training program, after Kyuubi suggested using the clones to go to the academy every other day in his place since they only did combat on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This, they hoped, would give him exponetially more time to do better and be better... or so he hoped.

"Okay, where do we start, this is my first day having a full day to train?"

Kyuubi, who he all but saw stretching in his head, barked out. "Go to our training field, disgusied as always, and work on your tree climbing... no wait, do your basic works out, then your tai and kenjutsu katas and then do tree climbing. I can't wait til you learn water walking, it is then that you will really be able to mix chakra control exercises with your regular exercises, that should put you above and beyond."

"Alright, I guess here we go..." Naruto, diguised as a random chunin he had seen before, shot off into the distance, eager to get started on his work.

"""

Raging Tides Taijutsu was a difficult taijutsu style, that mixed slow deliberate movements with sudden bursts of fast paced attacks to disarm and lull your enemy into a false sense of security. It worked with randomness and was a great tactic for both killing your enemy and capturing them. According to the scroll, it was an Uzumaki specialty that his mother modified and evolved through sheer work since she only had access to a handful of scrolls as a child. It was supposed to be a top tier taijutsu style, comparable to something called the Strong Fist and the Gentle Fist or even the Inceptor Fist of the Uchiha.

According to the scroll, it was designed inpart to deal witht he constant infighting of the Uchiha and Senju clans, clans he was apparently distantly related to in the case of the Senju... though Kyuubi said the Uchiha were more distant cousians due to all of them being tied to the Sage of Six Paths. Naruto had never heard of that person, having never grown up with stories and local legends, so Kyuubi had a field day educating him on the history of the world at large. To think one person, any person, had so much of an effect on the world...

Anyway, the taijutsu was designed to deal with the Uchiha's Inceptors Fists more adaptive techniques and the Senju's Iron Fist's more direct and brutal attacks. By being a middle ground, it allowed them to deal with the Raw power of the Senju and the Adaptive power of the Uchiha, and according to the Kyuubi it was great against the Hyuuga's Gentle Fist as that was too rigid to deal with variable acceleration... which he learned was fancy talk for changing how fast you fight while fighting.

Raging Tides was designed to go hand and hand with Kenjutsu if needed, the style for his training sword was called Dancing Sorrows. There was no explanation for that, but he had a feeling there was a long history for it. Using a sword required more leggy attacks, which Naruto was good at to his shock. The sword style itself used a lot of spiraling motions, taking advantage of momentum. He liked the randomness of it and found that it suited him well.

Of course, Naruto was only on the first Five scrolls. One for Taijutsu, kenjutsu, sealing, ninjutsu and finally Uzumaki history... He was working on them all, spending his time mastering them hard. The Sealing scrolls were hard and mostly required mastering his caligraphy and basic seal formulas and why they worked. Ninjutsu worked on mainly on chakra control and using water chakra, which he spent at least an hour on by extracting water droplets from leaves. Taijutsu was mainly katas but also regular workouts that involved wearing weights and lots of stamina and endurance training, and a LOT of strength exercises.

By the time he quit physically training, around from twelve to two to recuperate and and offically ending at seven, he spent the rest of the time reading on history and from the academy books. By the weeks end, he had managed to catch up on quite a bit. Kyuubi was really smart and helped him by explaining advance words, topics and whatnot, allowing Naruto to really excel even in the class.

To his annoyance, by Friday Iruka pulled him aside. "Naruto...are you okay?"

Naruto frowned. "What do you mean?"

"Well, your paying attention in class and you actually did really well on your quiz yesterday... we were worried you cheated to be honest."

"Because I did well? Maybe I realized that I needed to do better and started studying since someone actually explained to me how to study, which by the way is actually a part of your job?" Iruka recoiled, looking horrified but Naruto was on a roll. "Maybe instead of judging me for doing better, you should be proud of me for finally doing better? I failed twice and no one thought to help me do better." Turning on heel, Naruto walked away from the man, stopping at the door way. "Maybe someone finally made me realize that I am worth more and I decided to act like it... something no one else has bothered to do... Ever."

To Kyuubi's lack of surprise, Naruto was called to the Hokage's office the next Monday, where the man had the audacity to look at him with reluctant compassion. "Is there anything you want to tell me, Naruto?"

"To you specifically... not really. " Naruto thought of his mother's words on the Old man. He and Kyuubi had spent the week, often in his head or during his workouts, talking about the Villages or the Hokage's failings and while it had been hard to hear, Naruto eventually understood how right they were if only barely. "Only that I... I was helped in understanding that you and this village have not been good to me, that I can no longer trust you and frankly I am not sure if I even want to stay in your village period."

The Hokage actually recoiled, horrified. "Naruto... who has been telling you these things?"

"No one you would like to talk to, only that they actually care for me unlike you."

The Old man put on a hurt look. "Naruto, I do care for you, my boy?"

"Then why lie to me about my parents or the Fox or... well a million other things?" Naruto wasn't done, his rage and pain and natural impatience overtaking the plans he made with Kyuubi to mask his truth. "Why never help me with my training, or when I was struggling period? Why put me, at four, in my own apartment. Surely someone wanted to adopt me, in a village of tens of thousands there had to be someone that would have cared for me! No, I all but raised myself and you expect me to happy with scraps! I am done being your pet, I am not this village's Human Sacrifice any longer." Naruto stood, hate and pain raging, but wisely listened to Kyuubi whispering in his ear, far more elegantly then Naruto could ever manage.

The Hokage cringed. "So you know... Who told you, Naruto?"

"No one you are so much as worthy of speaking too... they opened my eyes to a lot." Naruto heard Kyuubi say something, he had no idea what it meant but he trusted the Fox to be helpful and so he obeyed him. "Where is my Godfather, Jiraiya?" Naruto saw pain and guilt fill the Hokage, confirming his words. "So you know I have a godfather, and you let him do nothing for me?"

"Naruto, he had to work outside of the village for you Safety and the betterment of the village as a whole. He is the head of our Spynetwork!"

Naruto frowned. "For Twelve Years? Never coming back one for me? His literal godson? I want nothing to do with the bastard but damn, he is a real monster! I am half tempted to release Kyuubi just to watch from hell as you all struggle to clean up the mess you made for yourselves!"

"You'd have the death of countless many on your conciosness Naruto?" The Old man tried, appealing to his humanity.

Naruto just looked at him. "Why care for those that care not for me? Here is what is going to happen old man... you will not interfere with my training, sent spies to watch me and you will let me graduate when I pass the test now that I actually had someone help me figure out where I was messing up and actually show me how to train and study... I am friends with Kyuubi now, he can sense people really well, you can't hide people from me... no using your Crystal Ball on me either, he can sense that too. You will leave me alone entirely..."

"Naruto, I-"

"I don't care, I am done with you... the village has a chance to show itself better, at least the Ninja do... I give them a year, a year to prove themselves worthy of me and Kyuubi. If they don't... well, I'll leave. I don't care if my parents wanted me to stay, I need to think for and of myself for once. I refuse to be the Sacrifice any longer. Have a good day, Old man..." Naruto turned and left, barely hiding how utterly afraid he was.

Thanks to Kyuubi, he knew how utterly devistating the man was even in his old age. Naruto would have been dead a million times over if the Kyuubi wasn't a real threat... no... he had to hold onto his bluff for as long as possible and keep himself safe.

'I am sorry for using you like that, Kyuubi... my impatience got the best of me...'

"Sigh, it was bound to happen Naruto, I cannot imagine he wouldn't have pulled you in eventually for some reason... your change in attitude, your new work ethic, you grades... something would have forced this conversation and frankly this was the best outcome for it all. You put him in a corner and now he has to behave or face my wrath. No one in the village is skilled enough to stop me... he knows that and that is why I told you to say that."

'This whole thing sucks, either way. Do you think he will leave me alone?'

'Doubtful but with my powers, we can detect him and that is all that really matters...just keep your head down and keep up your changes and new training... do all you can to better yourself and if it comes to it, leave the village."

'You really are the best Kyuubi.'

"Naturally."

'Can you tell me more about this Jiraiya, you never mentioned him before?'

"""

Hiruzen knew he was screwed the moment Naruto unleashed his hate, the boy's rage and vitrol was so elegantly directed it clearly came from an outside source. The boy's words hit home and put him in a corner so perfectly that he had no choice to obey. He loved the boy, but Naruto had offically become a threat, one of the villages creation but a threat none the less.

"What do I do... I cannot kill him or harm him, he would unleash the Fox and even with Jiraiya aid we would have no means to stop him, no other Uzumaki to take in the Fox. What have we created... maybe he will behave if I leave him alone,... I cannot just not watch him though, he must know that... Damn it."

Unsure of what to do, only one thing was clear... he had to contact Jiraiya... and have him try and make ammends. Naruto had been right there, Jiraiya was the crux of so many issues and the possible solution to many others...

If one thing was to happen, Jriaiya had to return and take the punishment for his innaction.


Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.

This was so much fun and I loved it!

Love, your Ninja Overlord,

Mika.
