Chapter fixed.
Following the events of the mining town and meeting Chusei and learning about his past.
Naruto and Chusei after their hike through the woods and were soon traveling on the main road. They were passing time by telling stories of their past and other things they have seen.
One classic story from Naruto was how he snuck into the third Hokage's office when he went for a bathroom break. He did a Jutsu to double paperwork on the old man's desk before quickly sneaking back out. On his way, he could have sworn he could hear snickering from the room. when the third came back to the considerable pile of paperwork he attempted to burn down the tower. With the Anbu having to restrain him before he could do it.
"You love your pranks don't you," Chusei said with a chuckle fondly imagining the third's face. "Darn right I do. Pranks are hilarious and also good ninja training." The blonde replied with a large grin. As the two continued down the road they heard someone cursing and decided to go see what was up. It was an older man with a cart that seemed to have lost one of the wheels. "Greetings sir do you require some assistance?" Asked Chusei in his traditional Stoic voice but with a slight smile.
"Yes, as you can see my cart lost one of the wheels, help me put the spare on and I will give you a discount on my wares." Both boys looked at each other and nodded approvingly. Putting the spare on was easy with Naruto's clones doing the lifting. "There we go thank you, boys, now I have something that might aid you. What is that?" Asked the blonde with his head cocked.
The old man rummaged around a bit in some crates before coming back with a few scrolls and handing them over. "Here I think you should find these very helpful." Chusei took one and opened it and was shocked. "Sir we can't take these. Oh, don't be silly you helped me and I've had these for a while now." The old merchant waved it off." Now it has been a pleasure to meet you both but now I must be going. Keep safe you two." He said traveling the opposite direction.
Both Chusei and Naruto waved to him before continuing then later setting up camp for the night. Looking at the scrolls three of them were elemental jutsu's and the last one was a storage scroll with some chakra paper and a few snacks the old man seems to have throw-in. "Wow this is cool so where do we start?" The blonde asked jumping in joy over the scrolls. "Well we have to find out what your element is, but we will do that tomorrow." With a nod, the blonde help put away the cooking tools and went to sleep.
The next day:
"Alright, Naruto-sama I need you to take this paper." Handing it to him but the blonde was confused. "What am I suppose to do with this?" Deadpanning at him. "Channel your chakra into the paper, and we shall know what you're good at." Doing as he said he poured chakra into the paper. After a few seconds, the paper crinkled while a tear appeared on the paper. " Seems you have a strong lightning nature with the wind as your second," Chuisei informed him. "Cool." Was the blonde's response. "So Chusei what's your nature? Mines are water and fire." The blonde looked at him confused. "Aren't water and fire conflicting?" Chusei just chuckled. "Yes you would think, but they can be combined in some ways. Though enough about me lets look at these scrolls."
Looking through the scrolls the first was lightning with the second water. The third was an earth scroll but that didn't help since neither had that affinity. Tossing the lightning scroll to the blonde. "I'll be studying this one while you test out that." He nodded and both went on their way. Training went on for the next few hours till both were tired and decided to call it a night.
The next morning they both woke up did their routines and trained some more till Chusei walked over to Naruto. "Hey, theirs something we need to talk about. Huh, what is it?" The blonde asked with the tilt of his head. "Well we have a small amount of money but that won't last as long." Naruto nodded his head. "So what do you propose? Well, there is a bounty station nearby we could make a request." Seeing his companion in confusion he explained. "See those not with villages but have ninja skills can go to a bounty station to either cash in a bounty or take up a request." Slowly taking it in he asked. "What kind? Well, that depends on the client it could be protection or assassination." He nodded his head as it was no different from what he would get back at the leaf. "So where is the station? Close to us about an hour away." With that, they both packed up and starting on their way.
An hour later that arrived at the station but Chusei stopped his friend before he entered. "Naruto before we go in we need to disguise our selves. Why?" Asked the blonde. "Well, we don't want no one to know who were are while taking bounties." He nodded at the explanation and rummaged through his bag for a scroll and handing Chusei one of the masks. Naruto had the fox mask while Chusei had the turtle.
Walking inside they both noticed it was like a bar with people sitting around drinking and talking. Making their way over to the counter they sat until a man came over to them. "So what can I get you two." He asked while studying both men. "We are here for a request," Chusei spoke in his Stoic voice. "I have one right here." Looking under the counter he handed them a paper that read. Looking for assistance with a matter of importance. Followed by the location and pay upon completion. They thanked the man and left as soon as they came.
In two days, they made it to another city Tama ichiba they quickly made it to an inn where the client was waiting. Making their way to a back room the client was a woman about 5'6 (1.68 m)black hair and brown eyes. She seemed to have an air of authority around her as well as calculating eyes. Chusei the speaker of the two was the one who broke the silence. "Greetings I am Kame and my companion is Kitsune." Naruto merely nodded.
"I thank both of you for coming to Yasei no Hana and the reason for the request is I need you to protect me during a ball." Both look at each other before she continued. "You see my family are merchants and as such we have made great strides in making profits. Making us a noble name in a sense and for me, I am heir to the company. Recently I've had attempts on my life though they failed they've come closer and closer. I don't know who's doing it but I know the banquet in a few days will be too much of an opportunity to pass up."
A simple protection mission until the party was over a simple enough task. "We will accept lady Yasei." She smiled and shook their hands while telling them they could use the room in the inn till the party. With the introduction's done and the client went they both began to prepare for the party in two days.
Bonus:
Naruto and Sasuke were facing off on the statues of Hashirama and Madra. A showdown for the ages like never before.
Sasuke: "You can't stop me. I won't go back."
Naruto: "I will bring you back one way or another."
Sasuke: "Ha. How are you gonna do that?"
Naruto: "Easy. I can take you down with one justu!"
Sasuke: "Hahaha...If you think you can then try it."
The blonde formed a hand-sign this had the raven-haired boy curious as to what he was plotting.
Naruto: "Haremu no justu!"
A puff of smoke appeared and figures began to surround Sasuke. When the smoke cleared he saw he was surrounded by female Naruto's.
Harem: Sasuke. Sasuke what do you want to do. Sa-Su-ke.
Sasuke was frozen in his mind where the words of Wtf but soon blood trickled down his nose, and he was shot into a rock behind him knocking him out.
Undoing the justu after seeing the raven launch.
Naruto: "Hehe still got it."
