Bye
The world of shinobi was quite fearsome.
4 years later:
As Naruto Uzumaki currently ten years old was sat in class unexpectedly the few years went by quickly and for Naruto, it was normal he would make sure to direct a certain amount of vague and slight attention to what the academy taught with a few topics actually being quite intriguing to the Uzumaki but after classes most the time he would hang around Keisuke who took on Blade training quite recently and started advancing in his jutsu skills besides.
The training Naruto accomplished wasn't as impressive but it was merely there to help him to obtain more strength and skill in his technique.
"Honestly this lesson is pointless and it's clear the students aren't actually listening anyway." The thoughts of Naruto played as he glanced to the small opening before examining the area once again there weren't any incidents occurring, unfortunately.
"With that class, the lesson is now finished." The Sensei Iruka called out with him grabbing a few files before leaving the now noisy classroom with a slight sprint.
….
"Then Kiba tried punching Sasuke and Sasuke jumped and he slammed into a tree it was hilarious." With Keisuke and Naruto walking through the cobbled path of Konoha's park and Keisuke's story-telling continuing.
"Anyway are we trying out your speed training because my taijutsu needs some improvement actually?" As Keisuke quickly glanced in the direction of Naruto only to realize that he wasn't there.
"Great probably got into some more trouble." The turquoise-eyed child mused to himself before sighing as he ran off.
…
The Uzumaki looked around the quiet alleyway where he noticed about two figures the madder figure wore standard civilian clothing and looked to be infuriated about something.
While the shorter figure was nervously attempting to get away from the situation.
"Is it necessary for me to help?" Naruto questioned as he grabbed a kunai before throwing it up this method helped him become more agile and he could easily move swifter if he used a target with Naruto quickly arriving in the scene to help.
….
"Come on kid hand over that wallet and you won't get hurt." The standard civilian said as he reached for the child's hand again but was met with much movement with the child trying to run but it was hopeless.
"No please I need it." The child carried on as the citizen started inching closer but before anything else could happen someone arrived.
As Naruto appeared in front of the figure delivering a quick punch to the civilian's stomach causing him to stumble slightly the shock then wore off as the figure tried punching Naruto but the Uzumaki was able to knock him out with slight momentum applied to his clenched hand and much strength.
"Now that's taken care of." He looked around only to realize that the troubled child was no longer there.
"Smart they most likely wouldn't off known my motives and they made the choice to run away." The calm look in Naruto's glowing blue eyes signified that he wouldn't of cared about the child in any case.
"The only reason I left Keisuke was to test my current skillset and I never used any techniques." The apathetic expression he withheld stayed with Naruto leaping away to continue his needed training.
The breeze that went by gave Naruto a feeling of niceness as he started with a sealing jutsu which was a Chakra Weakening Seal unfortunately it would only last for about five minutes and Naruto was guaranteed to be aware of the aftermath.
"If I were to place this on an opponent the battle would only be barely affected." The seal was currently on the Uzumaki's left hand as he simply sighed with less determination than before.
"Well, I can make it last longer with a different seal that affects the used sealing something like a Strength Weakening Seal…. It's got to work." Mumbled Naruto as he sat on his chair in that moment the training and practice that the Crimson Haired Child put himself through was no longer improving his expertise in any aspect which was a problem, to say the least.
"The only thing left is taijutsu and then the box is out of things to practice and learn sadly." The reason why Naruto stopped training in actual taijutsu was that he only wanted speed and his physical strength to increase meaning he never tried learning a proper technique.
"Well, I can give it an attempt then." As he picked up the last few scrolls in the package.
The moment Naruto read it his eyes widened.
The Uzumaki Clan Taijutsu Style: The Sealed Fist
Those were the words written in the scroll.
"Clan? I'm in a clan. Where are they now then?" The question amount rose as Naruto continued to wonder about the issue but he couldn't figure it out.
"Still I need to learn the Sealed Fist then maybe my training won't become slumped again and then I can gain more strength." Naruto aspired to gain strength but that indifferent glimmer in his eyes could never leave.
2 Months Later:
"Okay, Naruto against Keisuke a simple practice begin!" The Sensei or actually Iruka called out.
As Keisuke knew that his friend wasn't to be trifled with he dashed forward carefully watching Naruto's action soon enough he noticed an opening in Naruto's stance taking the opportunity he directed a punch to Naruto's face but the Uzumaki moved below as he grabbed Keisuke's left arm before kicking his foot forcing him to stagger slightly before Naruto removed his grasp on the blue-haired child causing him to topple over.
"Fight Finished! Good work Naruto your taijutsu looks to be improving." As Iruka then prepared the next match.
"Good Fight," Keisuke stated with Naruto simply nodding signifying that he was thinking about something.
Soon enough the lessons continued with Naruto and Keisuke mainly talking to each-other.
Finally, the academy finished.
"To tell the truth Keisuke it's clear that you could beat me in any other type of battle." The words Naruto spoke shocked Keisuke as most of the time Naruto preferred to keep quiet but it looked like that he was in the mood to talk which was something new.
"Come on I doubt that." The turquoised eyed child stated which much vigor in his tone.
"In any case, I wanted to tell you about this." As Naruto showed the seal on his hand it displayed a vague amount of chakra.
"Isn't that a seal that you put?" The question Keisuke inquired obtained a quick nod before they carried on with the situation.
"It's a Chakra Weakening Seal actually." Naruto glanced around before gesturing a goodbye.
"Sorry, Keisuke there's something I need to finish." Naruto calmly said before he jumped onto a roof.
"Bye!" With Keisuke walking off in addition.
….
"Great now I need to deal with this." The area was enveloped with a monstrous chakra and Naruto couldn't think of anyone with an aura as frightening as the one he was feeling it was during his conversation with Keisuke for a split-second the surge of the temporary chakra erupted causing the Uzumaki to follow it with much curiosity before stopping.
The forest was quite far from the Forest of Death meaning that it was quite likely nobody knew of it.
As aware of his surroundings Naruto was it wouldn't mean that he could tell whenever a situation becomes too drastic.
The reason he felt this aura was simple.
Only the Vessel to a Humanoid Biju could feel it.
Meaning others that held Biju could feel this power.
The chakra continued to force Naruto to follow it with the Uzumaki not needlessly attempting to stop the situation from occurring only for the fact that it was intriguing that was it.
The curiosity of a child.
There was another factor.
It could provide him with something beneficial to his journey to strength.
The taijutsu training of the Sealed Fist that Naruto went through still couldn't help him improve his other needed skills.
The more he walked quieter the vicinity became.
The only item resting in the area was a Dagger on what looked to be a peculiar pedestal the Kunai was engraved with symbols and many tricky unreadable words the tip of the Dagger was a dim maroon too.
"This design... The symbols and words, I know where it's from." As Naruto's calm eyes signified that he noticed it.
The same design was on Kurama's Cloak.
"This Dagger. It means that this Kyubbi most likely owns it was I following the chakra because Kurama was forcing me to. The reason what could it be anyway?" The causes of this Dagger's appearance gave Naruto a few more questions than answers but as he stared into the Weapon he placed it into his pouch.
Soon he left the forest with the Murderous Chakra no longer there.
"Come on Keisuke lean more forward with your stance make sure the opponent can't get an opportunity to damage you and then finish the fight." A figure spoke wearing what looked to be an Anbu outfit.
"Okay, Shirouu Is this good enough?" Keisuke questioned with his new posture being displayed and a Blade in his grasp with much effort demonstrated.
"That's decent I suppose but make sure to not deter from your training and practice. Okay?" Shirouu glared towards the turquoise-eyed child with more order inside their tone.
"Of course and besides my only friend is an always training person anyway." Keisuke stated as he continued his swings with a slight breeze forming in between motioned slashes additionally.
"Well, I'd like to meet him then." Shirouu retorted attempting to get Keisuke a bit more riled up.
"Trust me on this it won't be easy to start a conversation but in general Naruto's a fun person to be around and we mostly train in the first place actually." As Keisuke then went and sliced the slightly durable target with much ease.
"Maybe I could teach him then." Shirouu laughed expecting some sort of reply but never got one actually.
"No Naruto never liked getting things taught to him he prefers to learn anything without help." The seriousness in Keisuke's voice proved the point he was trying to send and he succeeded.
"Well, I am quite determined to meet him still." Shirouu then vanished appearing in front of Keisuke as they began practice quite happily.
"Now then." Naruto activated Wind Style: Gale Palm as he started to gather momentum with him currently mid-air enhancing the technique's power before slamming it into a branch before the wind entirely dispelled.
"Perfect my thought was right the momentum amplifies the wind's power and the breeze that comes through but unfortunately it only lasts for a few seconds before the Jutsu dissipates." It was a great and excellent method for Naruto to use but for the meanwhile, he finished the preparations of his training.
As Naruto jumped away from the practicing fields he chose to visit Keisuke for what he called relaxation after anything challenging.
Arriving in front of Keisuke's house the Uzumaki examined the upper levels of the building before knocking on the barricaded door soon enough it opened with a different figure that wasn't Keisuke standing there.
"Can I help you with anything?" The figure asked with them staring in Naruto's direction observing with slightly terrifying motives or something similar to it.
"Greetings my name is Naruto Uzumaki and I am here to speak with a friend of mine and his name is Keisuke for additional knowledge if needed." Naruto's voice stayed calm under the penetrating glare of the Anbu Member but he was completely nervous in actuality.
"Oh! This is Naruto well then." With Shirouu gesturing for the child to enter with Naruto following quite quickly.
"Come on I'll take you to Keisuke hope you're quick enough for this." The Figure disappeared with them leaving an open door for Naruto to walk into actually.
The Uzumaki sprinted forward with much speed as he rushed through the opened door making his way to the area beneath the main parts of the buildings before finally arriving already quite tired.
"Wait Naruto, why are you here?!" Keisuke was shocked mostly because Naruto never came over and now he was here to relax.
"The thing you call Relaxation I wanted to give it a try actually." Naruto stated with a hint of excitement placed in his voice and the weak stance he was using.
All Shirouu gave was an expression of amusement.
"It's nice to meet you Naruto my name is Shirouu and I'm the shinobi training Keisuke with a sword." As the Anbu smiled still with the mask on.
"Anyway would you like to fight with Keisuke in the use of a blade it can be good practice too?" Shirouu asked and Keisuke tried to get the Shinobi to stop but it was futile to attempt.
"Okay." Naruto merely answered with that as he got to the front part of the training room and Keisuke went into the lower part of it.
Quickly catching a sword Naruto's posture changed into a simple stance of taijutsu with his eyes holding a glint of determination with the experience with a Blade never actually forming with practice from other things.
"Begin!" Shirouu exclaimed with a complete grin on his face still with the mask on.
As Keisuke dashed forward his posture leaving no weaknesses with the turquoise-eyed child swinging his sword towards Naruto with much expertise forcing the Uzumaki to jump up.
"It looks like Keisuke's quicker with a blade meaning he's improving his natural speed great." Soon Naruto landed a few meters away before Keisuke lunged once more this time carefully leaving many openings to trick Naruto before leaping up as he started to spin it was a technique called the Swiveling Slash with Keisuke then landing with a slight gust of wind appearing but Naruto held his sword in front blocking the technique's slice but it caused him to topple over but he regained his balance quickly.
"It's as I thought Naruto can't use a sword which means he would try and teach himself to improve." Shirouu mused before continuing to watch the fight.
With Keisuke easily getting Naruto to go defensive the Uzumaki needed an easier method to get his friend's strength lessened or completely diminish the power being placed onto it.
"Now!" Keisuke thought with Naruto lifting the sword higher as he then attempted to slice it but the Uzumaki performed a side-flip dodging it before landing but then Keisuke sprinted forward and then with shocking speeds quickly kicked Naruto in the leg causing him to fall and then Keisuke held his blade in front of the Crimson Haired Child with a serious expression but it became a more happy one than before.
"Well, Naruto I never knew you were that quick." Keisuke said as he then got the sword away from the Uzumaki letting Naruto stand up.
"Thanks." Naruto stated with a slight smile on his always apathetic and calm expression showcasing that he was still excited.

"Okay, Naruto and Keisuke that was a great display of your skills it's quite clear that Naruto surpasses Keisuke with Taijutsu and that Keisuke is more refined with Blade Usage than Naruto overall it's likely that you can become great shinobi make sure to practice the basics too." Shirouu then vanished needing to return to Anbu duties and for now, he was satisfied with Keisuke's skill.
"Okay, Lighting Style: Lightning Bullet activate." Keisuke then shot the dart of electricity towards the direction of Naruto as he then used the Wind Style: Gale Palm before slamming the current of wind to the bullet but the lightning overpowered it before the techniques then dispelled.
"It looks like the Chakra weakening Seal can slightly lessen the Jutsu's general power." Naruto determined after an hour of testing the amount of weakening the Seal can accomplish wasn't too much sadly.
"Great now can we stop my chakra is running low." An exhausted Keisuke fell onto a chair before slumping tiredly.
"That's fine the Seal needs a few more enhancements and then we're fine and make sure to keep the Strength Weakening Seal it can limit you meaning you can obtain more physical power than before." Naruto then noticed Keisuke was unconscious and was it was probably meaningless to give him the explanation anyway.
Soon after Naruto left still adjusting the seal to improve it.
The Skills people used always needed to be refined otherwise it was likely they would fail in any aspect whether it be a mission or a session with no real damage needing to be dealt but people always or liked to make an opinion if you were powerful or not meaning that the weak were stomped on and disregarded for no reason.
That's why Shirouu became a member of an Anbu to learn and to overcome any weakness and the most major thing to teach Keisuke because he failed before and wouldn't fail anymore.
The rest of the week was normal the academy was still happening a few lessons there and taijutsu classes to with basic Ninjutsu always being practiced in addition.
"Can Sasuke Uchiha please come up?" The Sensei Iruka questioned with a louder tone indicating he wanted to finish.
Fortunately, the Raven Haired Uchiha walked up with a collected expression on his face signifying he was awaiting the next instructions patiently.
"Please use the Clone Jutsu and display it to everyone okay?" With the question Iruka gave obtaining no answer Sasuke then activated the Jutsu with a clone of himself appearing before disappearing once more.
"Good Work Sasuke it looks like you got the basics mastered now then." As Iruka looked through the clipboard before putting it onto the table.
"Well, that's all goodbye." The Sensei then left the room with all the students gathering their items too.
"Anything we can try?" Keisuke asked Naruto as he grabbed his books while glancing towards the Uzumaki that already finished.
"Unfortunately there isn't anything else to test the seal only needs to get the amount of weakening increased and I'm still working on it actually. " Naruto calmly answered.
"Sorry to not be any help and I got Sword Practice with Shirouu bye!" Keisuke quickly dashed out of the class mainly because Shirouu was never late actually.
As Naruto soon left the academy and chose to not train for a bit for other things.
The moment Naruto entered his apartment he went over to his bed before falling into temporary slumber to meet with a certain figure.

"It's been quite a while Child of The Uzumaki Clan." Kurama stated as his apathetic and calm expression only increased after Naruto's arrival.
"No bloodlust or chakra yet." Naruto thought as he looked around the decorative room still nervous of the Humanoid Biju's presence the strength was still there.
"No need to worry I already know what you are here for but know all questions are answered and I won't tell you about the dagger too." Kurama then vanished leaving Naruto in the area and the Uzumaki was still confused before he woke up.
"Why was he letting me come in then?" As Naruto then got up there were many things he needed to accomplish actually.
A/N: Hi, thanks for reading bye.
