The Drunken Maelstrom of Konoha
Author's Note and Summary: Hello Everybody. KrimsonFury2 here with a new story for you. I'm doing this when I'm taking a break from Tremble Like The Earth and no, I haven't discontinued the story I'm doing it and hopefully have a good ending. This story is a inspiration from Jackie Chan's Drunken Master. I know there's another fanfiction where Naruto knows Drunken Boxing, but instead of him being a Nukenin, this one he's still loyal to Konoha and will start learning the style when he's in the academy. Let's get this started!
Summary: After losing in another Taijutsu fight and getting fed up with it, Naruto decides to sneak in the library at night and find a Taijutsu style. Let's just say he finds a style that is truly "unpredictable".

Chapter 1: A Losing Streak and Some Sake
Another day, another loss for third-year academy student Uzumaki Naruto and reasons for his loss? Well, his taijutsu style was sabotaged by many of the academy instuctors except for Iruka, who helped give pointers whenever he made a mistake.
"Alright class, have a good summer, Naruto can you stay a moment please?" Iruka asked. After most of the students left, it was just Iruka and Naruto inside the classroom.
"You alright Naruto?" Iruka asked. Naruto just looked up a depressed look on his face. "Not really Iruka-sensei, I'm tired of losing in most of the Taijutsu fights that we have outside and the Academy style isn't for me. What do you think I should do? I'm sick of this losing streak!" Naruto asked. Iruka thought it over in his mind as he rubbed his chin until he came with a idea. "Well, I guess you could go to the library to find a style that suits you." Naruto thought it over and knew he wasn't welcomed in the library, but that didn't mean he couldn't try other methods. 'The library won't let me in for some unknown reason and kick me out most of the time, so I think it's time to take matters in my hands.' Naruto thought with a smirk.
"I like the idea and thanks Iruka-sensei." Naruto said with a smile and left the classroom to head home and make a plan for the night. Iruka smiled and was glad to help his surrogate brother in his troubles.
Poor Iruka didn't realize what he just did.
Later that night when everyone was fast asleep, Naruto was dressed in black with materials that he used in pranking or at times when he's desperate, steal from the stores that would kick him out. He was running towards the library to find a Taijutsu style and if he was lucky, some books on jutsus, chakra control, anything he can learn, etc. Heading towards the side, Naruto grabbed a grappling hook from his bag and threw it towards an open window and was able to hook it and climbed in through the window. Naruto snuck around the library looking though the various sections when he found a section labeled "Taijutsu".
"Time to find my style." Naruto said to himself. Naruto went through the scrolls and books, trying and failing to look for something that could fit him, but then he stumbled upon a style that seemed to peek his interest as it was unpredictable and somewhat unusual. 'Hmm 'Drunken Fist' might just do the trick, not to mention people make fun of me saying I fight like a drunken brawler. Now here's a style that could help me and prove people wrong.' Naruto thought. So he takes the scroll along with other books that was based on jutsus,chakra control, along with educational books on the history of Konoha since he couldn't learn much at the academy due to the instructors and closed the window and left the library and sped on home.
After locking his door and putting everything on the table, Naruto went straight to the book about Drunken Fist and was mesmerized by the style as it showed that the user had unusual body movements, the posture are driven by the weight and momentum of the whole body, and moving fluidity thinking it looks off-balance, but it's actually balance. It also showed that you have to be agile and have good coordination. 'It's going to take a lot of training, but I love the unpredictablity in this style.' Naruto smiled and decided to start up a training schedule for himself and also get some sake for himself.
He may be too young to drink, but he didn't care and always wanted to try it.
Throughout the whole summer, Naruto would go to the nearest Training Ground and train in his new style. He would never stop until he was too tired to stand on his two feet. He persisted in training no matter the circumstances. He excersized his chakra control to the point where he started to learn jutsu from the library. He slowed down on his ramen habits and ate some healthier foods, which increased his height dramatically. He went from being the shortest to being the third tallest in his class. Whenever he finished his training for the day, he would henge into a random Konoha ninja and buy sake for his training as well as his own pleasure.
At first, he didn't enjoy it, but decided to tough it out and soon enjoy the stuff despite his age. He even changed his wardrobe from the orange jumpsuit to a No-sleeve Navy hoodie with a purple shirt, black pants, and black shinobi sandals with black fingerless gloves along with weighs that he got from a certain green spandex man one time when he was training, but that's not all, he also carried a strapped canteen that carried his sake so he can drink wherever he went. As his summer vacation came to a close, Naruto now stood at 5'4 and was stronger than before with lean muscle as well as his hair growing longer to the point where he had to put it in a ponytail. 'Can't wait till we come back. No more losing streaks from now on. I'm going show everyone that I can become a shinobi and reach my goals.' Naruto thought with a smile and took a sip from his saucer and read some more on Drunken Fist. People was in for a suprise from our favorite blond.
