Bye
Those glimmering blue eyes withheld an unemotional look as Naruto examined the area kids playing and talking to their friends it was quite sad to know the moment they became shinobi they would die it really wasn't shocking, unfortunately.
The academy instructors were foolish to think training like this would be helpful.
Those that relied on the basics would meet their demise and gain nothing but contempt for the one that took their fallen comrade away from them.
It was possible that Naruto was overthinking but he preferred to be more aware of the situation than others.
"Well, this slight duration of relaxation is finishing quite soon." Naruto started walking towards the classroom not determined to continue the lessons but not wanting to stay around the rambunctious students either and he picked boring lessons than actual screaming each moment.
(-)
The academy was finished and Naruto was currently with Keisuke in the training field the Anbu member Shirouu needed to leave earlier permitting Keisuke to practice with the Uzumaki sadly he couldn't use his Blade for the training.
"To the upper branch." Keisuke leaped up causing Naruto to stop his carefully planned technique with the Wind Style: Gale Palm actually getting enhanced with Momentum which let Keisuke figure out what his friend was attempting to accomplish.
As Naruto's hand slammed into the lower branch forcing it to completely shatter as Naruto looked above only to notice that Keisuke was gaining speed with a Lightning Bullet blasting in the direction of the crimson-haired child's left arm quickly Naruto grabbed a kunai with the weapon cracking the moment it made contact with the technique.
"Well, now my Kunai isn't going to be usable thanks." Naruto stated with Keisuke laughing slightly.
"Sorry." Keisuke mumbled with him leaping onto the pavement and it looked like he was rushing to something.
"Okay, Naruto my good friends I must leave goodbye!" Keisuke shouted before dashing away entirely.
"That was something." Naruto thought simply as he continued with his activities.

3 Years Later:
The noises of conversations traveled through the room never stopping and with good reason.
The time to become shinobi finally arrived.
While many were determined to pass the final exam some were confident or completely cocky about it.
There were those that others knew would become shinobi with much ease.
The far corner of the classroom was never really a place people sat in which gave Naruto the perfect chance to plan his actions.
"Unfortunately the clone jutsu can't be used with my higher chakra reserves which is why I placed a Chakra Weakening Seal it last for around ten minutes with the adjustments that I put." Naruto in actuality was quite calm about the tests mainly for the fact that he practiced the basic jutsus of that were taught and with his knowledge of seals the chakra usage was lowered quite high meaning he can manipulate it more easily too.
(-)
"Can Naruto Uzumaki please come up?!" The Sensei called out before walking into the examination room once more.
As Naruto walked a few glanced towards him not many knew of the indifferent Uzumaki or his real abilities and skills.
Upon entering Naruto traveled to the center of the room before stopping awaiting on what he would be tested on.
"Well, Naruto start with a clone jutsu and display it." With Iruka and his instructions already spoken quite quickly.
"Okay Sensei let's try this." Naruto mumbled as he formed the needed preparations before around four clones appeared but not shockingly there were a few errors with it.
"It's good enough okay Naruto good work you are now a shinobi great job." The Sensei placed a headband on the table with a joyous expression.
Soon Naruto grabbed it and once he put it on his face he left the room ready for what needed to be next.
(-)
"Well Naruto we're both ninjas isn't this exciting!" Keisuke yells as the entire class looks to not notice it.
"It is exciting but we still need to finish D-rank mission before we can take on more serious jobs actually," Naruto stated causing Keisuke to give him a confused look with slight curiosity in addition to.
"Okay that was strangely serious… of course it was but regardless there is truth in that and I agree." Keisuke replied glancing to anyone else with a headband excitement still inside his eyes maybe he would get over it soon.
(-)
It was peculiar to Naruto as he stayed in bed shinobi were strong or that's what he was told but maybe it wasn't in actuality.
(-)
The time for team assignments came and Naruto couldn't tell if he was entirely excited or curious about who his team members would be with most students staying away from him because of his personality which Keisuke described as calm and composed maybe his teammates would be fine with him or maybe not.
As Naruto quickly got ready wearing a dim blue t-shirt and completely unnoticeable marron gloves as he then left with only slight quickness.
(-)
The moment Naruto arrived he sat in the corner as normal, once he was out of the academy for good he wouldn't be able to sit in the best area, unfortunately.
With slight interest, the Crimson Haired Figure watched as more and more students entered the room placing themselves in their own chairs speaking to their friends about their possible teams, and many other things like it.
"Well if I could pick my teammates then Keisuke would be the best with his skills using a sword and speed it would be helpful but for the other member there are many great options for it." The thoughts came through Naruto still looking to the front corner of the class with not much excitement anymore.
(-)
Soon after Keisuke arrived before he took a seat next to the Uzumaki with a smile merely to signify his exhilaration for what was to come.
"Are you ready for the team that you're going to be put on?" Keisuke asked with much curiosity placed in his tone and expression.
"It's worrying." Naruto merely replied with an unemotional look.
"Well, I hope I'm not with anyone too cocky that would be frustrating." Keisuke stated still unable to withhold his excitement about the situation.
"To be honest I think your good on that actually." Naruto said looking to the doors.
"Of course… Wait?! What's that meant to mean?!" Keisuke questioned.
"Oh, nothing." Naruto quietly answered.
(-)
The class then went silent as Iruka walked in with a clipboard and with an expression showcasing he wouldn't let anyone test his own patience.
"What's with the serious look?" Keisuke mused with him quickly getting a more nervous glimmer in his turquoise eyes as he then went over to glance in Naruto's direction he looked like he was thinking about something too.
"Okay class it's the moment for your teams to be assigned this is not something that the students can pick now then let's begin." The Sensei stated before beginning to announce the teams with a more happy expression appearing causing much relief in the area actually.
"The teams are something that need to be picked carefully meaning that anyone that can't get along with others or choose not to are practically screw in this issue sadly." Naruto continued to await the announcement of his team with barely any attention not too shockingly but still.
"Then Team Seven the members are Keisuke and Sasuke and then Naruto the Jounin Leader of this squad is going to be somebody called Akio Senju now the next squad is actually." As Iruka carried on with the teams.
It gave Sasuke Uchiha an opportunity to understand his teammates from what he knew.
"Well, then there's Keisuke most of the time he gives of a more welcoming aura with him becoming serious in fights or any sort of practice. Then there's Naruto Uzumaki a calm person and gives off a more indifferent or unemotional aura there isn't much about him in practice he's normal and in grades too. They're probably the best teammates to get." The understanding Sasuke thought about then stopped as Iruka then left the room with conversations then starting.
As Naruto stood up before walking over to the front of the desks as Keisuke watched in confusion but Naruto stayed there.
(-)
The door then opened revealing a Shinobi with teal-colored hair and in addition, there were glowing hazel eyes with the Shinobi then looking around the class an expression of exhilaration on his face.
"Hello, I'm here for Team Seven come on." The teal-haired shinobi was quite blunt but his expression demonstrated he was planning something.
With the newly announced Team, Seven following after their Sensei and he then vanished in a Blue Blur causing all of them to try and catch up with it.
Soon they arrived to the training area and it gave Naruto a bit of a clue on what they would be attempting.
"Greetings I'm Akio Senju it's great to meet all of you and I hope that each of you are fine with me and now let's actually start with a simple introduction there's no need to put in all the details." Akio stated with an excited expression.
"Okay… Hi my name's Keisuke and I like practicing with a sword and to tell the truth, I'm not the best with Taijutsu actually." Keisuke then finished.
Next was Sasuke with the look on his face becoming more collected.
"Greetings my name is Sasuke Uchiha and I would prefer not to actually reveal anything." As Sasuke stated this with Keisuke then giving off an incredulous look or one with confusion actually.
"That's ok." Akio said with a joyful grin plastered on his face before going to Naruto with a smile nothing more to it.
"Why is his expression that happy?" Keisuke thought.
"Hello my name is Naruto Uzumaki and I like training and planning before things can become worrisome." The Uzumaki said before examining the vicinity with nothing more to showcase.
(-)
"Those were weird." Akio stated amusedly.
"No need to bring it up." Keisuke mused once more.
"Well, there's nothing more to be said except meeting me up in these training fields tomorrow around six am, and then we can get in some real fun, bye." The Senju then disappeared giving Sasuke the chance to leave for some preparations.
"Bye Naruto sadly Shirouu wanted to teach me a new technique or continue teaching me it but still." Keisuke then dashed off.
(-)
"It's known that the Senju Clan was only able to survive through a few members and it looks like Sensei was one of those members actually." Naruto walked throughout Konoha as he glanced around the village nothing was necessarily happening.
Finally, he arrived to his apartment, and upon entering he felt like some planning was needed.
"It's not been revealed if we're going to fight Sensei but the chances of something happening are quite high, unfortunately." Naruto thought aloud as he grabbed many Shuriken and Kunai before noticing the Dagger from the forest in where the Kyubbi never gave a direct answer to what the weapon was it was quite frustrating.
"It's best to bring it the probability of using it is low but it could help." Naruto then grabbed it and then quickly placed it into his pouch.
(-)
It was finally time to get over to the training fields and Naruto was standing in the area with Keisuke and Sasuke and they made no conversation sadly.
"Hello." Akio's voice appeared out of nowhere startling Keisuke with him jumping up.
"No need to be like that now follow me once more." The Senju stated with Naruto and Sasuke with a scared Keisuke quickly sprinting in the direction of their Sensei before they got into the more upper places of the area with the Blue Blur then stopping.
"That was to get you shinobi more energetic it's better to be awake and helps with the practice we're about to get into." Akio stated.
"There is something crucial to know this isn't a game." Akio's tone then became more threatening and serious before becoming normal.
"Well um Sensei what is this practice anyway?" Keisuke inquired.
"It's simple to get me to fight seriously." The Senju replied casually.
"It's starting now." As Akio then vanished causing Sasuke to leap up and Keisuke to dash to a different place.
"There's something up with this." Naruto then started rushing around the vicinity before Akio appeared in front of him with Naruto then throwing a prepared punch to the Senju's stomach but it was easily deflected.
"It was blocked that quickly?!" Naruto leaped up going in for a spinning kick but his leg was grabbed before he was slammed into a tree before the grab was removed with Akio then disappearing.
(-)
As Keisuke looked around noticing that Sasuke was on a branch he then went over to the Uchiha with slight determination on his face.
"Hi Sasuke we worked with each other before and if we get Naruto to come with us we can maybe beat sensei in a fight." Keisuke and shockingly Sasuke were acquainted and respected each-others fighting prowess.
"For now I'll only work with you if there is a suitable strategy to beat the new Sensei and if it can actually work." With Sasuke finishing that's when Akio made his presence known.
"It's best to not speak in a battle." The Senju stated as he then punched Sasuke in the left arm forcing him to topple but with quick and careful thinking the Raven-Haired Child then landed with much ease.
"That was quite agile but it won't help in this fight." Akio then attempted to grab Keisuke's sword but was met with Lightning Style: Lightning Bullet Jutsu and he then leaped up.
"A powerful Jutsu but like I said it won't assist you or help sadly." Akio stated before Sasuke activated Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu with it then almost making contact with the Senju but it was dodged with the exhilarated Sensei then about to punch them away but then.
As Naruto then came in with Wind Style: Gale Palm with an attempt to slam it into the Senju but Akio moved to the side with Naruto then placing it onto a branch cracking it.
With Naruto landing the team knew there was only one more thing left to try.
"Okay use all of our strongest jutsus now!" Keisuke then activated the Lightning Style: Lightning Bullet Jutsu once more and then with much chakra placed into it Sasuke used Fire Style: Fire ball Jutsu and then Naruto used Wind Style: Gale Palm with more power.
The Jutsus then blasted forward as Akio smiled slightly before becoming a Blue Blur dispelling all the techniques with ease.
"That was good teamwork meaning that you pass a great job on becoming Shinobi but remember to always trust your allies and bye." The Senju vanished leaving Sasuke to give a quick nod to the others before walking off.
"That was too quick." Keisuke thought before realizing he was the only one there.
(-)
"Well a Senju, things are becoming more exciting." The Humanoid Biju said with an amused expression.
(-)
"The Dagger is quite strange." Naruto started examining the weapon in his apartment with slight curiosity as it looked like a normal kunai but there was something peculiar about it.
"It can't be normal as the Kyubbi looked to be aware of it." Naruto then placed it onto a table as he put a Durability Weakening Seal on it but the seal then was dispelled off the weapon quickly.
"It's not affected by Sealing Jutsus maybe it overpowers it with the chakra that is emanating from it." Naruto stated as he then placed a Chakra Weakening Seal before awaiting on what would happen next.
"If this works then the Chakra can't replenish quick enough." As Naruto then activated the Durability Weakening Seal on it once more expecting it to work.
Then both Seals were deactivated.
"There's a chance if I adjust the Chakra Weakening Seal with a Strength Weakening Seal the chakra from the weapon itself can be slightly lessened for a split-second and I can then try out the adjustments to it." With Naruto putting his plan into action it then forced the Dagger to lessen its chakra with it then cracking only a bit.
"It's almost as if the Chakra reinforces it with endurance." As Naruto continued to watch the small crack then started to mend itself with the Seals dispelling once more but it gave the perfect explanation to the Uzumaki the Seals were cancelled out by the Chakra which from there it was easy to determine there was a seal keeping the more powerful Chakra from running out or the aura was stored away actually.
"The chakra itself is most likely the Kyubbi's that demonstrates the strength of its aura but what sort of Seal is on the weapon to keep such a powerful chakra this calm and stop it from unleashing anyway.?" Naruto then grabbed it before slamming it into the table with the Strength Weakening Seal and Chakra Weakening Seal still working with more cracks appearing than in actuality and in that case expectedly a crimson chakra formed causing the cracks to once more vanish with the maroon chakra disappearing soon after.
"The chakra can mend things like that and to think it's currently weakened and I needed to lessen its strength for this to work actually." With Naruto then putting the dagger onto the table before noticing that the seals were no longer there.
"Well, this is becoming more challenging the adjustments that I put onto the Jutsu could help in manipulating the chakra if the chakra can be made physical then slashes of it could be used actually." Naruto then walked off to his bed before he sat on it.
Something else to help him obtain more strength.
