Story Idea where Raido confronts the Hokage and teaches Team Seven... He points out the flaws In Kakashi's Teaching after chunin Exams and takes hold of the team after speaking to Tsunade. Or instead he teaches Naruto after Sasuke leaves... something like that. Six Months of Training and Naruto chooses to stay around Raido instead of Jiraiya.


" Lady Tsunade..." Raido was quiet, seeing as the Uchiha Rescue Mission had been a dramatic Failure and that Naruto was gravely injured. Tsunade's office reeked of alcohol and her eyes were filled with anger and sadness.

The Wasted Women gave him a heavy look. " I am not in the Mood for Paperwork Raido."Her words were gravely and broken, but full of emotion.

He shook his head. " I have only come to ask a question if that is alright?"

The Women sighed and nodded. " Ask and be on your way."

Standing tall he bore the aura of an Officer. " I would like to train Naruto Uzumaki, Shino Aburame and Tenten ." She gasped at that, but only nodded for him to continue. " During the Chunin Exams, I watched him fight Kiba Inuzuka then later Neji Hyuuga and honestly was disgusted by what I saw from both Fights. For his first fight, Naruto won by a trick yes but mostly he just made a fool of himself and in the end it was Kiba's arrogance that allowed Naruto the Victory. During the Second Fight Naruto fought like a brawler, winning soley by agression and having more Stamina then Neji. Neji was arrogant, spilling village secrets public ally and making a scene. However both fights also showed a vast potential for Strategy, Tactics, Misdirection and More. I would use my time to build this skill, unlike Kakashi who clearhas taught Naruto almost Nothing."

Tsunade's entire demeanor shifted, her drunkenness vanishing entirely. " And you are aware that Jiriaya plans on taking him on a training trip correct? How do you think you can teach the boy better then a Sanin?"

Raido openly sneered. " Jiraiya pushed Naruto down the crevice near the South Waterfalls, without any guarantee for his safety. He spent a Month teaching him how to summon and use Kyuubi's chakra, but did nothing to correct the boy's terrible taijutsu, calm his attitude, teach him anything of value. The toads, while powerful, are rarely useful in direct combat unless you have summoned a specific one. More so, the boy has shadow clones and Jiraiya has had about two Months to teach to boy, he could have effortlessly corrected his issues. I am honestly of the believe that Jiraiya is intentionally neglecting the boy's training, wither that is due to his looks or due to another reason."

Tsunade looked angry, but not at him. " I will be talking to Jiriaya and Kakashi... very well, I will give you a Month with Naruto to do what you can, impress me and he is your student... now why the others?"

Pleased, Raido Straightened his back and continued. " Tenten's Preliminary exam showed a skill in sealing and with throwing weapons, however she showed no strategy and didn't even recognize the Battle fan of her opponent despite being a near Weapons Mistress. She has potential that I know Guy is wasting, the man is too focused on direct combat that he had drastically neglected support skills and strategy. If I get the chance to teach her, I will be teaching her poisons, more advanced sealing and working on her direct combat skills, Strategy, Tactics and Support skills. I may even include Genjutsu, Shushin and a few jutsus to round out her repertoire.

As for Shino, His exam revealed a skill for strategy, Tactics and no problem with violence. He was calm under pressure and creatively disarmed, quite literally, his opponent. He showed little of his overall skills, however he did manage to break the powerful Genjutsu that was placed over the arena during the Invasion, track down a skilled Puppeter and defeat him. However that being said, he has a reliance on his insects and that will bite him in the ass down the line. If I get the chance, I will teach him more direct combat, granting him a weapon to create a distance, train him with poisons, minor sealing and more. More then likley I would have him work with throwing weapons to ensure he can escape his foes or fight them from a distance if his bugs cannot aid him."

She nodded, looking impressed. " And Naruto?"

" Everything, though at first his clones would be mostly working on the basics and adding small things like Shushin, Chakra control, Elemental Jutsu and a weapon of some kind. Once he is at least Chunin level, he would be working on more advanced subjects depending on his talents."

Tsunade smiled. " Well, you better go meet your new Student. But Remember... you have one month, Starting now... he won't be out of the Hospital for three days, work around that."

Raido smiled and left with great haste. He could not believe that worked, he had been petitioning to take care of Naruto since his father died. That boy deserved so much more then he had, and Raido would ensure he got it.
