After finishing the running course, Naruto gave time for Asura to catch a break. It was his first day at training so he needed to take it easy or dark emotions could form a seed inside Asura.

Training with such intensity wasn't easy and it wasn't for everyone so he had to slowly put Asura into that position with results and encouragement.

He had to fire up his desire for challenges and fights.

Naruto took out a bottle of Fairy water to drink while passing Asura some champion digimon flames. Asura didn't need water and he didn't produce waste normally.

His body extracted waste data and threw it out, which was in the shape of dark spores. It means that the digimon was unable to fully utilize the data so the remaining was discarded.

This waste data was harmful and could corrupt other digimon if there was a lot of it or it could form a new digimon.

Asura was a flame digimon so he ate flames and his next Digivolution was Meramon so Naruto was intent on feeding him powerful flames to make his future form stronger.

Normal Meramon could produce heats up to 8000 degree Celsius, Naruto was aiming for at least 12, 000.
Fortunately, he had access to powerful flames so it wasn't hard but this didn't mean he could skimp on the training. Without proper training and challenges, there was zero possibility of becoming a powerful digimon.

"How was it? How do you feel?" Naruto asked after taking the refreshing drink that helped him regain his chakra.

It was water from the Forest of Fairies and was one of their main products that they traded with humans. It helped in the growth of mana and healed lost mana.

Most humans didn't have similar energy so they would rarely drink it for the taste and would use it for their digimon but Naruto had chakra so he also took it regularly when training.

This was not a product for someone from a humble background to take daily. Naruto was rich so he didn't act humble and increase his time for recovery. He utilized his family background without holding back.

In the old world, he had been too humble and lived a frugal life. His clothes were normal and everything else to.

He was the clan head of the Uzumaki, the strongest ninja and the Hokage but he lived in a normal house. He was still okay with that fact but the rest wasn't okay.

He could now see why Boruto had been so ashamed and embarrassed by others. He was so easily impressed by money.

Even though he was at the top, his children found buying a store impressive.

When he learned of that, he had felt shame and regret that he didn't give his children the best life possible.

He could have made them live like Kings and Queens but they lived a normal life while everyone around them wasn't normal.

Shikamaru lived in his clan compound that made his house look like a hut. Ino also lived in the clan compound and it was huge.

Sakura did live in a similar normal house but that was by choice, Sasuke still had the whole of the Uchiha compound.

All of Boruto's friends were loaded with money except Iwabe, that kid was normal.

So this time, Naruto lived the luxurious life that suited him. He was from the Uzumaki clan so it would abnormal for him to not own expensive items.

He found joy in racing so he had a collection of cars and bikes.

He liked guns and knives so he had a collection of those weapons.

This time he made sure to enjoy life to the fullest. Mistakes had been made and he couldn't fix them anymore but he could avoid them now.

Asura chomped on the fire data given to him, it was hotter than his body so he had to slowly take it in according to Naruto's instructions.

He was very much tired after the run. His mind was feeling heavy and he almost felt dizzy. He didn't have a body to feel fatigue but he had mind to feel it.

His flame body flickered as he ate and Naruto's voice rang inside his mind.

Asura blinked and looked towards Naruto. The ponytail like flame body moved towards Naruto while the armored body lay flat on the ground.

There was no fatigue on his partner and it showed him the difference in their stamina. Asura felt the desire to continue seeing that.

He didn't like being on the ground like this.

What is the feeling? Asura wondered

"Master, I feel tired but I also don't like being on the ground like this. Why is that?" Asura voiced his concern as he didn't understand the contradictory feeling. He was tired so it was fine for him to rest.

Naruto showed an eye smile as he was surprised to hear that. He hadn't expected Asura to have such a spirit.

It seems he had underestimated the future Gankoomon. He had a fighter's aura.

"It means that you are a warrior that doesn't like to lose. Keep that feeling in mind and keep on fighting, but also keep it moderation to avoid pointless damage.

This feeling can supply with you courage and desire to fight even in the bleakest moments. It will help you go on training even when it feels like you are done.

It will help you never give up in the face of adversity.

Do you understand?" Naruto explained with a gentle tone and animated body. He was explaining the benefits of the power of youth.

Asura saw his master in a new image, as he could be very excited as well. He had shown such composure that Asura had assumed that was his default setting.

"I understand that is good for me, should I push up my body now?" Asura wasn't fully sure of this concept at this moment.

"No, let it rest for now. This isn't the moment to let that desire run wild since it would only cause you harm.

Listen to it when your body refuses to move even though you have enough stamina to continue training, during the routine. This is rest time." Naruto explained and hoped he would understand properly as time went on.

This was a core of a proper fighter as without this passion, you would stop somewhere along the way.

Asura nodded in a tired manner as the feeling disappeared, as it had just been a glimpse.

All these experiences were building up his personality since his current self had none. He was just an empty husk with built default setting and data that was from a system, not personally gathered.

"Is training something to enjoy?" Asura asked as he could see that his master looked happy while doing it.

"Hmm, that depends on the person. Some people enjoy it, some people just do it because of necessity or hobby and some people hate it. I enjoy it because it is better for your mind that you enjoy what you are doing or you would get low results and get frustrated.

Best results are gained when you do it with passion." Naruto gave a wide smile as he stretched his arms. There was a time when he only did it for the results but after a long time of doing it, he had come to enjoy these exercises. They weren't just for gaining strength, as they were part of his life.

Such data was not present inside Asura, so the master had to teach him these things. It was lucky for him that his master was an enthusiastic fighter who was also ideal for his future form.

They were truly meant for each other and their relation was symbiotic.

"Understood"

Naruto didn't push him yet and was patient with him, Asura was like little chick that had just taken his first steps and was far from flight.

Naruto talked about benefits of training and spirit for the five minute break.

Once that was over, he had Asura follow his movements.

Naruto had been the best close ranged fighter in his prime, beyond Lee, Gai and the Hyuga clan. Sasuke utilized Sharingan too much so his skills without it were not on his level.

He was good enough to fight against Sasuke when the rival had the eye to predict his moves and everything.

Over time, his skills had only continued to go up and he had learned Gentle Fist from Hinata. Nonetheless, Naruto preferred the violent and active approach instead of gentle fist.

He specialized in Jujutsu, Karate, Taekwondo, and Muay Thai along with his own personal skills. He combined all of them and fought with precision.

He could take hits but his ninja self wouldn't allow such a thing so he was exceptional agile and good at dodging.

Asura's future form would be humanoid that utilized body arts, so Naruto's fight style would make it best for him.

Once Asura had gotten a hold of these skills, Naruto would teach him weapons arts.

Naruto specialized in knife fighting, Bo staff, guns and spears along with chains.

He had learned gun fighting from Steven and spears from Jiraiya. Minato used knives while Kushina specialized in swords and chains.

Kushina taught him how to use the chains. In his old life he hadn't bothered learning any weapons beyond knives so he learned all of them in this life.

He always knew that weapons provided a boost in the user's power but Naruto avoided them because there wasn't a weapon that could handle him.

In this world that wasn't a problem and he needed weapons to enhance his powers to give him a chance at victory.

Both partners moved slowly through the motions multiple times so that Asura could remember them properly.

It was also a strength and control exercise as they going very slow.

For half an hour they continued and Asura found this easier to follow as the movement was slow, the only thing he had to do was control his body and remember the moves.

Once it was over, Naruto gave Asura a moment to catch his breath before doing their first spar.

Asura stood opposite of his partner and looked at him.

He had zero experience in fighting so he couldn't tell any signs and didn't what Naruto would do.

Standing there, Asura started with a fireball from his real body. It was small but very hot.

It was fast but Naruto swatted it aside and stepped into Asura's range before hitting him with a palm strike on the abdomen, sending him rolling back.

The strike broke his control and his body broke down.

"Focus, and don't resist the attacks. When this happens, roll with the attack instead of taking it. This way the damage will be mitigated." Naruto advised as Asura got up. There wasn't any real damage but he would have died in a real battle once the enemy continued.

Asura nodded and looked at Naruto. Taking note of the techniques he had just learned, Asura decided to use them.

The spar was just after them so he could experiment with them and use them in real battle.

Taking his stance, Asura let out an incredible light to blind his foe.

It was one of his techniques as Candlemon called Candle Ring.

With that in play, Asura rushed forth and tackled Naruto's leg. He intended to make him fall and stab him with his tail while unleashing a fireball.

It was one of the combos Naruto showed him.

But, Naruto saw through his attempt. He was blinded by the light but he could feel the presence of things around him.

When Asura almost got his leg, Naruto hit him in the back and smashed him into the ground. He was unable to react to Naruto's action because of his lack of experience.

Regardless, Asura didn't feel any pain and released a fireball from his real body at Naruto.

Naruto backed away and unleashed twin wind sickles at Asura that cut off his arms.

This kind of practice was only possible for a digimon like Asura or Naruto would hold back on his attacks. Naruto was giving him a taste of champion level power so that his body could adapt to it.

His soul would be accustomed to high level challenges and allow him special forms.

The battle continued for half an hour and Asura was extremely tired by the end of it. Naruto talked to him throughout the battles and told him different ways to fight, and even warned him of attacks so that he could dodge.

From this training Asura gained a lot and he learned that he very much disliked getting his ass beaten one-sidedly.

He felt a dream building up, a dream to overthrow his master's tyranny. He wanted to overthrow his power rank. It was the desire of a warrior to surpass others, building up inside of him.


While Naruto was playing around with Asura, in the Nonaka Clan Rika was training with Luna. She had been extremely tired last night and was grateful to her mother that she took some healing medicine.

Technology had advanced to a level that people could easily get cured from any illness. Healing chambers from sci-fi had become reality with the help of Digimon.

The digital world made things that were just imagination into reality. Things that were famous in the real world also exist in the Digital world in some shape or form.

So it wouldn't be rare for someone to meet Goku from Dragon ball and Superman from the comics. There were many people who adventured into the vast Digital world to find their idols and since that knowledge spread, humanity had been trying to manipulate it for their advantage.

Increasing the popularity of good natured and powerful characters so they would help out humans, but till now it hadn't really worked out that successfully and Superman hadn't been sited.

Moving back to Rika, she had felt that her body was extremely sore when waking up. Looking at the ceiling of the room she had sighed, thinking of the reason why she loved Naruto.

The blonde was kind and gentle. He was wise and always helpful while being humble. She had known him since young and this bond had been built.

It was a small crush but over time it became love. She wanted to be with him and didn't like it when he was with other girls.

Kari was her friend but Rika didn't like it when Naruto was around her.

Now, she had to fight for his attention and affection.

These were things that would piss anyone off, but she had no right to complain. She chose it. She forced him into it.

She believed that he will fall in love with her. She had absolute confidence in it. But the problem of sharing still existed. Rika could see the possibility of Naruto adopting polygamous lifestyle. She didn't have any proof of it except the fact that he was surrounded by too many girls.

The situation was truly a nightmare.

'I need to work with Kari and make sure that Naruto never goes beyond the maids.' Rika really disliked this situation once her happiness charge had disappeared over night and she was back to normal.

She was prideful girl, sharing wasn't something she wanted to do.

She had no control of this situation beyond making Naruto accept her and she didn't want to make Naruto miserable.

But things need to be done in moderation.

She made her mind to work with her rival for this issue.

Once that was settled, her mind focused on her life as a tamer. She was finally a tamer and her digimon partner was excellent.


Rika got ready and head some breakfast before summoning Luna in the private training grounds of the clan.

Luna had been awake before Rika and had watched her master sleep while reading the book given to her the previous day.

During their outing, Luna had found martial arts fascinating along with the ninja arts so she read on those subjects.

She also had books on the topic of elements and Onmyoji because her last form was Sakuyamon that specialized in such things.

"Good morning Master, I hope you had a good rest." Luna greeted Rika and gave a nod as she appeared in the real world outside of the digivice.

In a single day she had learned a lot and her mind was curious of the rest that would follow. Renamon were naturally silent and ninja like so such things also appealed to Luna.

On the other hand Asura was different from his kind as his default setting was molded for Naruto, but even so he would find burning things down attractive.

This was a normal case for digimon gained through the system. Before it, people found their partners in the wild and even now there were rare cases of that happening when the parents had a child in the digital world or a digimon slipped through a portal.

Regardless, Rika was happy at Luna's appearance. She just looked so beautiful and graceful. Just the way she liked it.

"It was wonderful because of you and my love. What about you?" Rika smiled as she operated her digivice and patted her card set that was on her belt.

The digital cards were necessary for all tamers and consumed energy from the digivice when using so he tamer had to be careful.

There were extremely powerful cards but low level tamers couldn't use them because of the energy requirement and the digimon being unable to handle the level of power.

It was a requirement for Tamers to understand what to have and what to discard for the moment. These items were one of the greatest creations of humanity and gave them an upper hand against enemies.

Luna didn't understand about emotions as she came from a species that was very cold natured and lack of experience.

"It was adequate and I have enjoyed the books granted by master." Luna replied gracefully as her tail moved slowly behind her. Her blue eyes were clear of any judgment.

"Good, those books should help you understand more about your future…Now; I will be giving you some equipment so relax." Rika nodded as she looked at the digivice. She had gotten many gifts the last night and was going through them for the appropriate items.

Just like Naruto, she intended to equip her partner.

Luna nodded and Rika chose some items. She gave Luna metallic knee guards, gauntlets, sharp point on her tail, helmet and light armor for the torso.

With that Luna looked ready for combat.

All of these items had silver color and had good design that suited Luna. The helmet was made for Renamon species.

The final equipment was a Kusarigama, chain scythe. All these were set to Luna's setting so Rika could summon them one command.

"How does it feel?" Rika asked as she looked at her work. She had thought about this since getting Luna and finally it was reality.

Walking around Luna, she admired her looks and feel.

Luna felt the sudden weight and had to shift her balance. Her body was light and not meant for heavy work. Her focus was speed and silence.

The armor was not restricting since it didn't cover the joints and was made in a flexible manner. It provided sufficient protection and enhanced attack power.

Her hands were not covered by the metal, giving them the required freedom for the weapon usage and magical skills.

She could see the point of them and nodded in appreciation. Her master was wise and gave ample thought before acting.

The weight increased but she would get used to it.

"It is excellent, master. But, what are these marks?" Luna gave a small smile and pointed at the runes on the armor.

"These are weight increase seals that Naruto gave to me for this occasion. It will help you train your body and get it used to 10 tonnes by the end, for now we will start with just 50 kg." Rika smiled with pride as she talked about Naruto's gift. She had been training using those things since last year as well and it had been harsh but the result spoke very well.

She could handle 1 tonne at the moment but further growth was hard and would depend on her bond with Luna.

It was shocking that Naruto could already carry more than 100 tonnes. He was powerful enough to fight against weak Champion Digimon, since only rare rookies could have such stats.

Listening to her words, Luna could see the pride she held in Naruto. Luna also found her interest growing in Naruto.

She had seen the man make her master submit to his desires. His stamina was very high and he seemed to be very skilled.

Now she learned that he had such arcane knowledge, it was impressive and she was curious about these skills.

They would be very useful for her future.

"Master, will he teach me?" Luna's tail swished around as she slowly articulated those words. It wasn't easy to say them since she was asking to be taught by another person.

"Of course, he will. I will ask him and get you settled. But before that we need to finish the basic training." Rika replied as she put away the device inside the holder on her arm and started to stretch her body.

Luna was satisfied with the answer but more questions popped up. Why was her master so confident that a stronger being would grant her wish?

Was it a give and take?

Why was she so out of it? Did he give her some drugs or use a powerful ability?

"Master, will it cost a lot for this request?" Luna asked as she didn't want to impose on her master.

Hearing those words, Rika stopped and looked at her with confusion inside. Her expression was calm but she was trying to find what she meant.

Luna felt the need to elaborate, "The request for the learning of these runes."

With that she understood and couldn't help but laugh. It was a small giggle and she looked at Luna with amusement.

"Luna, not everything is about give and take. Naruto is my future lover and closest friend, so even without giving him anything he would do it for me. Just like how I would help him out without any cost.

He is stronger than me but relationships have nothing to do with power dynamics. In this relationship we are all equal.

I don't look at you as my servant or slave, you are my friend and partner. You will hold the same level of importance as my family once we get used to each other. Professional relationships with hierarchy of powers are good but that is only appropriate in an official setting, but not so good outside of it.

Think of this as your family and my friends as your friends. We spent most of the day with Naruto yesterday, so did he look down on you because you were weaker than him and his partner?" Rika explained this delicate topic and decided to get some books on relationships.

She was reminded that her partner also needed to be taught such things and not just fighting. Her personality needed to be built and for that she had to be careful.

Luna took in the explanation provided and things made sense. She got the answer to her questions.

"No, he didn't. I understand Master, thank you for your patience… One more thing, why were sticking so much to him? Were you in heat?"

Rika was happy and then lost her smile. She felt so embarrassed that she wanted to pound Naruto's head.

'Ahhh, so embarrassing.'

"This is a private topic so don't talk with anyone else about it."

"Rest assured master, I will never share any data with others without express permission."

Rika looked at the blue sky and sighed. She couldn't believe this was happening.

She never imagined talking about sex with her partner.

With that the duo started training. They stretched for a time before moving to a run.

After the run, Rika showed Luna fighting skills to learn.

Rika had been taught from a young age, so she was an expert MMA fighter and had ample experience of fighting like a ninja.

Luna was meant for such things so she took to it easily unlike Asura who was a Candlemon, absolutely not suited for martial arts.

Once that was finished, Rika sparred with Luna.

Luna could see that her master had superior stats except for speed, which was similar. It wasn't hard to guess how the fight would go.

Rika had to keep it safe unlike Naruto since her partner wasn't living fire and wax. Using her knives, Rika fought Luna in close combat while Luna used her body.

The armor helped a lot to avoid damage from the knives but the lack of experience and lack of knowledge, along with lower stats got her losing.

Luna experienced cuts on the uncovered parts before she was pushed to the ground with the blade on her neck.

This continued for all the battles but she was improving and increasing the length of the battle in a true sense.

By the end of the training, Luna had developed greater deal of respect for her master and was fascinated by her skills.

The training session had been fruitful and both of them got closer.

The digivice showed the results of the training and Rika could see the stats of her partner along with Luna's affection and even level.

Digimon had 100 levels on each rank and once the final level was achieved, they could digivolve to a higher rank.

Having the same rank and level didn't mean equal power as that was decided by the stats. With levels increasing, the stats also increased and the Digimon grew.

Levels were not the only requirements as digimon also needed to satisfy other conditions for the next stage. It could be stats, items, location or mindset.

Some trainers also stopped the process and had their partner keep on gathering extra data so that the Digivolution would be more explosive and give better results.

This could work with a good tamer but wasn't recommending as the digimon could break down because of excessive data or even get corrupted.
