Aster sighed, "... so, despite the Sandaime's hopes... and the Yondaime's wish... people are beating his son, the Jinchuriki to the strongest Bijuu. Are they asking for him to rampage and leave everything in destruction...?"

Inu responded, somehow sipping the brewed tea through his mask, his masked eyes reading an orange book and looking at Naruto every now and then, "I hope not, they're getting more vicious, at least the more vicious member of our town don't hate him... me and a few clan leaders have tried adopting him though..."

Aster huffed, reading through a scroll that had the word 'Fuinjutsu (Sealing Arts)' on the back of it. "So, guessing it didn't work out too well. I thought the Hokage had more control last I checked?"

Inu sighed, "Shortly before Sandaime-sama took office, the civilian council somehow gain more control, they outnumbered clan members by a few votes and changed a number of things. Danzo seems to be on the clan and Sandaime-sama's side, but the other elders were still on civilian side, sadly."

"That's ridiculous, and treasonous to boot, Otou-san is gonna take a few heads when he finds out about these actions. Who all tried adopting the little scrub?"

"I was denied and they basically put a restraining order on me, I can only interact with him as an Anbu. Hizashi tried, though I think Hiashi was behind it. Let's see, Akimichi, Nara, Yamanaka... surprisingly, due to some sort of bloodline connection, the Uchiha clan tried. I don't remember all the details, but it appears most clans tried."

"And all denied...?"

"Correct."

Inu shook his head, hearing another set of trees being incinerated. Aster growled, hiding a grimace of pain and discomfort, "I'm destroying the civilian half of that council, and then I'm strangling Sandaime-sama for not growing the backbone to smite them."

Inu nodded, "So what are you doing to Naruto-chan?"

"I'm gonna train him, if that school won't do it's job, then I will, and I won't stop, I'm more tempted to take him to Iwa, Kumo, even Kiri maybe."

Inu chuckled, "Well I'll write a report after this."

They both heard a groan, as Naruto yawned, "Ow... what happened?"

Aster chuckled, not even sounding guilty, "Yeah, my bad. Needed to talk to Scarecrow here."

Inu asked with concern, "Are you alright Naruto-chan?"

"Yeah, perfectly fine, Inu-Nee-chan." Naruto proclaimed.

Aster chuckled, "Glad you're spunky now, because, if you want, I'll train you."

"Right now?"

"Maybe, I did knock you out for a couple hours. But if we train now, you skip a day or two to learn."

"Alright! I accept, it's the weekend, anyway."

"Alright, first though... let's get you some new clothes."

"But they won't sell me anything or make things really expensive."

Aster rolled his eyes, "Then henge into an alternate me, make a few difference so people don't notice."

"Oh. Alright!" As he puffed in a burst of smoke. Reveal an Aster in a reddish-orange coat with black Anbu pants, and Uzumaki Mark adorning his back. His eyes retained the violet color, he was the same height as he was originally. Aster quirked a brow, 'I'm a not surprised considering which of his parents he takes after.' "That's pretty good. Let's get you some new clothes."

"Hai!"


It had been the crack of dawn, people stirring, store preparing for the day, as a hinged Naruto and Aster walked side by side, Aster asked, "Alright, so what other basic jutsu do you know?" 'Let's see what mess I need to clean up.'

Naruto nodded, "I know the Henge Jutsu, the Substitution Jutsu, I'm trying to learn the Clone Jutsu, and I developed a Jutsu of my own." 'I wonder if he's like Old man-third and Inu-Nee?'

Aster looked to where the sun was rising, "Well, in a while, you're gonna show me where you are in terms of Jutsu. You'll also be learn some new Jutsu and Chakra exercises. I'll explain your failure with the Clone Jutsu later, for now, let's get you new clothes and something to eat."

"Alright, let's go!"

"I like that passion, scrub."

'You gonna need that bravado for what I have in store for.'

"Yes, I'll be stronger than Sasuke-teme! Detta-"

Aster's hand covered his mouth, as he whispered accordingly, "You gonna make the disguise pointless."

"Gomen, gomen."


Aster gave a slightly stunned look, Naruto was guzzling down noodles, eight empty bowls in front of the redhead. The silver hair had only finished his second bowl, he deadpanned, "Look, I know I told you to eat as much as you want, but... I'm gonna lose all my saved-up money in a few months if you eat this much at each meal!"

The old man running the infamous noodle shop, Ichiraku, chuckled, "Naruto has been our number one customer, I am rather surprised you'd be here."

Aster blinked, "The hell's that s'posed to mean?" As he begun eating more ramen

Teuchi explained, "Rumors of you being a rouge ninja surfaced after you left."

He slurred it down, as he choked slightly, before breaking in a coughing fit, before he coughed up literal ash, a wisp that near caught on fire. Gulping down water, he asked, steam hissing out of his mouth, "Who put that rumor out, that's not even true. I left to learn more about restriction seals."

The Ramen seller shrugged, "I don't know, I hear a lot of rumors. Shinobi eat here too."

Aster 'hmm'd, "Well... I'll figure that when Sandaime-sama gets back. For now..." he counted the bowls, before setting yen down, "This should cover it. Come on Naruto. Let's start your training."

"Awesome! I'll impress you, believe it!" As he held his fist out at Aster.


Aster released a breath, faint. Embers faintly flying through the air, they were back in the woods.

"Alright, runt, show your abilities, Justus first."

Naruto nodded, his red hair bristling in excitement. "You got it!" As he went through hand signs, he substituted for a few branches, as Aster noted, a little slow... it's something...

Naruto begun the hand signsfor transformation, a mischievous grin forming. Huh, is this his 'special move'?

Inu, sitting in a tree, reading an orange book, glanced down at Naruto, just he transform.

The Sandaime had returned, standing at the gated entrance of Konohagakura, as he felt a chill roll up his spine. The feeling was cut off by a a blast of steam and a crack of what he would call several trees being smashed.

A few Anbu appeared before him, Cat and Crow. "Hokage, we must discuss something in private regarding what we're protecting."

The Sandaime's expression became serious, "What happened with Naruto-chan?"

With that the trio headed to the Hokage tower.


Naruto hadn't expected the Anbu to fall from the tree, puddle of blood forming where his head was. Nor was he expecting to be nailed in the face by his new teacher, and being launched through ten trees.

Aster scolded, "That's your trick!? Don't use it again while I'm training you!"

He slowly got up, as Aster calmed himself, he called, "Alright, heathen, let's see the final basic jutsu, the Bunshin (Clone) Jutsu."

Naruto gained a look of horror, Oh man! He wants that! But that's my worse jutsu! Before gaining a determined look, No! I won't let him down, I'll succeed and prove I'm good enough!

As he begun focusing his chakra, Aster commented quietly, "Is he trying to burn out." While Inu stumbled up, his mask lifted slightly to plug up his nose.

"Bunshin!"

What happened was something some would call an unexpected reaction, Aster and Inu stared at the dud, with deadpanned shock and expected outcome respectively. A colorless, pale Naruto clone, with a dizzy look, laid next to the redhead.

"Huh... wow... I was expecting bad... but..." Naruto looked down, expecting worse criticism. "I just thought it'd be worse given your large reserves..."

"Huh?"

"Yeah, you're more along with Chakra control than I thought it would be."

Naruto cheered, "Yes! I surprised you, Sensei! Dettabayo!"

Aster commented, "It wasn't that you surprised me, more like slight difference in my expectations. It's still pathetic." Clear his throat, he asked, "Alright heathen, before we begin this exercise, tell me about Chakra." And please don't ruin my heightened expectations...

"Right, uhh, Catra is the thing we use in performing jutsu and all that stuff! Right?"

Aster facepalmed, And now you've ruined my expectations, and school is gonna accidentally blow up.

Inu called, "Allow me to handle this mental training."

"Sure go for it, if I hear anymore stupidity as a result of that damn school, I'm burning everyone in this village alive."

Inu explained, "Chakra is a duality for us. It's the physical part and the spiritual part of our body."

Naruto asked, "Physical? I thought only ninja had it?"

Inu explained with a calmness that surprise several people, "Yes, every cell in your body is made of chakra. Everything has chakra, including thing like rocks and the trees."

"Wow, what about the other thing, the spirit part?"

It's simple, chakra maybe appear physical, but everyone has a finite amount of chakra, it's invisible almost all circumstances. However, if trained to bring this power out, individuals can use it. To use jutsu, to power their physical strength, a large portion of things."

"So cool!"

"Quite, however. Without one or the other, chakra can't exist. if one has lacks physical form, chakra can't form properly. If one has lacks a spirit, their body can't live. Does that make sense?"

"Naruto nodded, "I guess, but don't we already use chakra in the basic Justus?"

"Not even close, Aster, if you will begin."

Aster cracked his knuckles, "Right, time to show you how to climb trees!" Let's see how far your willpower will take you... if he anything like the Death herself, this is gonna be fun.


"So you're telling me that Aster's back and he's taken it upon himself to train Naruto?"

Cat nodded, "Yes, that is the case."

The Sandaime shivered, all the Uzumaki he ever met were very passionate, Naruto and Kushina were prime examples of this. Aster took from his mother instead of his father from what Hiruzen knew.

Couple that with the boy being trained by Minato himself, his relationship with Kushina, and the fact that if one got by him for really it would be like getting hit by an exploding truck, without being blown up.

"Alright, keep an eye on Naruto and send Aster here immediately."

"Hai, Hokage-sama!"


AN:

Sorry if this has been a couple months before being finished. This is the first time I'm actually writing Naruto, and I've only ever seen season one and the movies of Naruto. I wasn't expect a number like this because of my first go at this part of the Fandom.

Aster referring to Naruto as heathen is response to the Sexy Jutsu.

Kakashi explaining chakra in this series is honestly how I view it. Correct me if I messed up on anything. Just know that Kakashi will be more involved in Naruto's life later.

Aster has a defected kekkie genkai (did I spell that right?), and I'll go more in-depth on it later.

I don't know what ship I'll be doing, but SasuSaku and NaruHina aren't gonna be them. I don't like Sakura and, quite frankly, I stopped caring for Hinata after the twentieth time I've read them together.

Tell me what could improve, but don't be like the Flamers on Fanfiction, I don't feel like block anymore nuisances
