The Lone Fox
Chapter 3
Talking with Kyubi
The next day just before dawn, Naruto was walking to where the forest just outside the village. He was wearing his usual cloth but this time he had the leaf headband tied at his shoulder. He didn't why his father told to go there, but he was sure he had he reasons. He walked until he was far away from the village. He smiled on how he sneaked t the gate. It was a simple genjutsu he learned from his father. He can pass through with out noticing. It like the guards can see him, but they forget what they saw. Only those who have a Sharingan or Byakugan can see him. He had to admit; reading about Konoha's Advance Bloodlines clan book had come in handy, he still working on how to counter against Sharingan users. He looked and saw was far away enough. He sat, closed his eyes, and began to concentrate. He opened his eyes and found himself infront of his father's eyes.
"Good Morning, father. What you want to me for?"
"I want to give you something for your graduation yesterday. Actually, it is two techniques that you can find them useful."
"Really?! Ok, teach me those ones"
Kyuubi smiled before sending a blast of red chakra to Naruto. Naruto closed his eye from the information that enters his head. He finally opens them and gasped. He has breathing heavily.
"The first one I gave you is a technique called Shadow Walk. It doesn't require for you to use hand seals to use it. It same as any teleportation technique, but they can be use as offensive use as well as defensive use. If use it more often it helps you in crossing greater distance. "
Naruto just nodded. He actually knows it, but because it inside his head he had know them. Naruto began to concentrate, and he figured it out. He actually uses his own shadow to teleport. Unlike other teleportation techniques, this one can't be detected which allow him to surprise the opponent even if he knows he is there; Sharingan can't even detect it. Naruto can't wait to use this technique.
"Ah, I see that you like it. Well, then next once will make you happier. The next is a technique that can even rival the Sharingan and the Byakugan eyes. I gave a trait the makes your eye like mine. It makes you see even to the strongest genjutsu. Once activated, the Sharingan users won't be able to copy any techniques from you. It also prevents those who have Byakugan eyes from seeing you chakra points. It works like a sixth sense, which makes your eye accurate and able to see even in the dark. Now see if you can use it"
Naruto nodded. He closed his eyes and began to concentrate. He opened them and his eyes were changed. No longer those deep blue eyes, but now it was red orange slit eyes. Naruto was surprised when he opened his eyes. He can see the place like daylight. He looks at his father, and stared in awe. He could actually see his body, those marvels body that was covered with red fur, and the nine tails that was moving behind him. He looks at face and saw happy and was proud of what he can make. He deactivated his eye technique; he called it Kyuubi's eyes, and bowed respectively to his father. Kyuubi smiled when his son bows in thanks for what he did.
"Now go along, you have to meet your teammates. And remember that your eye technique will be activated on automatically if you were angry. Now go"
"Thank you, father."
Naruto opened his eyes and stood up. 10 minutes left until the instructor can come. He decided to use his newest technique. He got in a ready stance and dashed forward and used his technique.
"Shadow Walk"
Naruto whispered. Then everything went in slow motion; Naruto figure become darker until it was like a shadow when his just disappeared. At the gate, Naruto appeared while he was like taking a step. He dashed again and disappeared, he reappeared outside the academy. He was breathing heavily, but he was smiling. It looks like it him he just took two steps to reach the academy. Once he was breathing normally, he went inside until he found the class where he is meeting his teammates. Once inside, He saw Shino sitting near the window doing nothing. He looked to his left and saw Hinata looking at the ground. He can sense the feeling she is in. Deciding to cheer her up, he walked toward her and smiled gently.
"Is this seat taken?"
Hinata gasped, she looked up. She immediately looked away with her face was all red. She offered a small smile before speaking to him.
"Goof Morning, Naruto-kun. No, this seat is taken"
Naruto smiled before sitting down. They waited a while before the instructor came in. She was wearing a bandage dress the covers her whole body except her left arm; which was covered by a long red sleeve.
"Well. It seems that you three are my team. I am Yuuhi Kurenai. Let's find a place where we can introduce ourselves and learn a few things about each other"
Kurenai said. The three Genins and their sensei walked out of the room and went to open area for them to talk to each other.
"Ok. Let us get started. Please state your name, likes, dislikes, and goals for the future" said Kurenai as soon as everyone got comfortable. The First one was Shino
"I am Aburame Shino. I like to collect and observe different species to bugs. I do not really dislike anything. I am mostly neutral about things. My goal for the future is to be strong for my family"
As soon as Shino finished, it Hinata's turn
"I am Hyuga Hinata. I like it when the people around me are happy. I dislike those that give people a hard time. My goal for the future is to be worthy of being in the main family of the Hyuga house"
Hinata said that while looking at the ground the entire time. Now it was Naruto's turn. He talked in cold stare and voice that sent a shiver to both Shino and Kurenai.
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto. That's all you need to know."
He glanced at Hinata before adding.
"I also dislike those that hurt the people that are precious to me."
Seeing the he finished, Kurenai spoke.
"Well. Each of you seems interesting in each of your own ways. Tomorrow we start our first session as a team. You will participate in a test that has a sixty six percent failure rate. In that test nine Genins will be chosen to continue as Genins while the rest are sent back to the academy. Assemble at training field eight at 6 A.M. and be ready with all of your equipment. Oh, and make sure not to eat. You will throw up. I will have lunches for you afterwards anyway"
She said while her students became a bit agitated and a bit nervous, all except Naruto because he was used to not eating for day thanks to his father's training.
(A.N: I know that was Kakashi's test. But I could think of anything else.)
Once Kurenai walked off, Naruto noticed that Hinata was shaking. He decided to help her in feeling better.
"Don't worry Hinata. I will be there to help you get through everything, so don't worry "
Naruto said in a comforting way.
"Thank you, Naruto-kun"
Replied Hinata.
"Well see you tomorrow in the morning"
Naruto said as he poofed away.
Next day, Naruto woke up at 4 A.M. and quickly got all of the things he needed ready. He remembered that Kurenai had told them not to eat, but Naruto did not expect throw up. He decided to bring along a few apples just in case and made sure there were plenty.
Naruto arrived at the training field at 6 A.M. exactly and looked around to see if Kurenai or his teammates were there. He soon spotted his teammates and waited in silence. Kurenai, however, did not arrive until 7 A.M. Naruto simply glared at her, and was pleased when began to sweat under his glare.
"Ok. Now it is time to begin the test. Your objective is to get these two bells from me. If you get a bell then you are automatically passes, however, if you do not get a bell you will be failed and will be tied to a log while I eat lunch in front of you. Make sure that you come at me with intent to kill or you will not succeed. Good luck"
Immediately after Kurenai finished talking Naruto took Hinata and Shino into a clearing away from Kurenai.
"Hinata. Use your Byakugan on Kurenai. Something does not seem right at all"
Naruto asked Hinata.
"Ok, Naruto-kun. Byakugan!"
Hinata complied as she activated her blood limit.
"I see that she has multiple Genjutsu placed over her and...Wait! She has a third bell hidden by Genjutsu"
Hinata explained
"Just as I thought. She wants us to work as a team to get the bells"
Naruto as he narrowed his eyes while think in a way to get those bells
"Well then we might as well come up with a plan"
Shino said that while he was trying to think of plan too.
"I have got an idea. Hinata, you can dispel the Genjutsu using your Byakugan. Shino, try to distract her with three clone, transform two of them like me. I will do the rest."
As soon as Shino and Hinata distracted Kurenai, Naruto used the Shadow Walk technique. He reappeared behind Kurenai, and with one swipe he took the bells. Kurenai was shocked when Naruto appeared behind her and took the bells. She looked at him hold the two bells in his hand.
"Very good, Naruto. Now who are you giving the second bell to, you know that one of them will fail."
Naruto look at the bells in his hands then at his teammates. He throws the two bells to Hinata and Shino. All three were shocked when Naruto just threw them making him fail the test.
"Ok, Naruto. Why did you give those bells to your teammates, knowing that you have failed?"
Naruto shrugged before saying.
"I deal with it like a mission. I am a Shinobi; I have to complete the mission even if that meant that will die."
Kurenai looked at him before smiling.
"Thank to Naruto you all passed. Well I am impressed in all of you. You all pass the test and are now truly Genins. Come tomorrow at 8 AM to have your first mission"
After Kurenai said that, she disappeared and left the three alone. Shino left after saying goodbye to Naruto and Hinata.
' Well, looks like I have a pretty good team'
He looked at his and saw Hinata blushing. He smiled gently before talking with her.
"Hey, Hinata. Want to get something to eat, we hadn't breakfast yet."
If anything Hinata blushed harder, but nodded.
Naruto was walking to where he usually meets Shikamaru. Just now he was walked Hinata to her house. Naruto was thinking about Hinata. Why does he always feel happy when she is near, does he have feeling for her? He heard a snicker; he knew it was his father. Finally he meet where Shikamaru is, He looked and he noticed he was sitting doing nothing.
"Hey, Shikamaru"
Shikamaru heard someone calling hi, he looked and saw Naruto walking towards him.
"Hey, Naruto. So, how is your team?"
"It's Ok, the only problem that Hinata doesn't have enough confidence. It looks like I have to help her. So, who are your teammates?"
"Well I got Akimichi Chouji..."
"Oh, I remember him, the fat guy, right? At least you got a strong partner."
"Don't I know? Chouji is good, but the other one is not very how can I say it friendly? So troublesome."
"Yeah? Who is it?"
"Yamanaka Ino"
"Oh no, not her. Let guess what she said: ' I don't what to be with weak ones. I want with Sasuke-kun. I'll would him so proud, but that forehead Sakura took him from. Well, I will show her.', right?"
"That about it"
"Come on, let play a game in chess".
