Chapter 9: A New Bloodline

Koichi also woke up decently early, kind of like when Shintu went with the little blonde. Of course, Naruto was chosen to be the alarm clock again. He was the alarm clock before and it wouldn't hurt very much to have him be the alarm clock again, except for the fact that he woke them around 5:30 again. He had to learn his lesson again and came back at around 8:00.

"WAKE UP." Naruto yelled. Shintu was up in a split second, but then collapsed again and fell right back to sleep. Koichi hardly budged and just kept snoring peacefully as if nothing had happened. 'Man she's harder to wake up than Spikey,' Naruto thought as he scratched the back of his head trying to think of a way to wake her up. He walked over Shintu's 'bed' and went to kneel by Koichi's. He tried to push her awake. She moved, but only because Naruto had pushed her. He then shouted in her ear, poked her continuously, did anything that he could think of that could help wake her up, which by the way wasn't very much. After all of that, she still hadn't awaken and was still laying their, snoring peacefully. Naruto decided to go to Plan B. He went into the kitchen, filled a cup up with icy cold water, and went back into his cousins' room. He stopped over Shintu again and again kneeled by Koichi's 'bed'. He quickly poured every drop onto Koichi's face. It might've been the oldest trick in the book, but it worked. Koichi sat up so suddenly that Naruto, who was over her, fell on Shintu who WAS still sleeping behind him. Shintu woke up with a start and then saw Naruto on him.

"What are you doing you pervert?" Shintu asked. "GET OUT." He yelled pointing at the door. "Geez, I swear, he's sometimes more perverted than Jiraiyi," He then mumbled as he fell back down and started snoring again.

Naruto just ignored him, "So, Koichi, when are we going to go training?"

Koichi just sighed and said, "Hold on, I'll go get ready."

Naruto got up and jumped quietly out of the room.

-Half an hour later-

"What took you so long?" Naruto asked.

"Oh, you know, girl stuff." Koichi just waved off that question.

"No...no I don't think I know." Naruto replied.

"Just my own preparations." Koichi answered with a lazy tone.

"Oh, okay." Naruto nodded, satisfied with her answer.

Then it was silent. They just walked up the road.

"Oh yeah, before I forget, what are you going to teach me?" Naruto asked.

"Ummm...hmmmm...let's see. I'll definitely help you with you Arronkogan, as well as you jutsus. Maybe even you taijutsu, but I'll definitely teach you how to use different weapons. I may even teach you some poisons and things like that." Koichi told him.

"Okay, I guess that's good enough." Naruto nodded, smiling a bit.

--At the springs where he trained with Jiraiyi—

"Uhhhh...anosan, anosan, are we going to stay here overnight like what I did with you brother?" Naruto asked.

"No, we'll go back to town for our meals and for the night. After all, we've only go a month." Koichi replied.

"Okay, I guess."

"Now, there is one thing I need to teach you before we get started. This might take a few days so bare with me. Arronkogan wasn't the only bloodline we inherited. A long while back, our ancestors married another clan, one with a power similar to our jutsus. It was the ability to have wind at you disposal. You should be able to use the wind at any time for any reason."

Naruto sat there obediently listening, absorbing all of this new information, with his mouth open.

"Do you understand?" She asked like a teacher would as their student.

Naruto nodded rapidly.

"Okay, now, you've learned how to do the rasengan right?" Koichi asked.

"Of course, it was the first move that I learned from Jiraiyi besides molding Kyuubi's chakra."

"Good. Well, this bloodline is similar to that, except you need to contain it through your other chakra holes, not just the ones on your hands. And, the thing that you're containing isn't chakra, it's really wind. Some of you chakra is pushing the air while some of it is containing it within a certain area. Or, if you don't want to, you don't have to really contain it, I guess. It's just more dangerous if you don't. Got it?" Koichi asked and Naruto just nodded rapidly in approval.

"Okay, now let's get started. Walk to the middle of that river and lay down on the water. It's about the same as the walking on water exercise except you use all of the chakra holes on your body."

Naruto started walking toward the middle of the lake. 'Okay, it's just like walking on the water. It shouldn't be that hard.' Naruto thought. He tried to sit on the water, but then fell through butt first.

--5 minutes later—

Naruto was back on the shore. "I got water up my nose." He complained over and over again. Nevertheless, he still tried again and walked to the middle of the water. 'Okay, now I have to push chakra through the holes on my butt.' He reminded himself. 'Don't put too much, don't put to little. Maintain the chakra flow.' He sat down. Half of his but was in the water, and half of it wasn't. "Yay. I did it. Yahoo!" Naruto celebrated, but then he fell through again.

--3 hours later—

A soaked Naruto was standing on the water for his...ummm...how many was it now? Ummm...about...30 or 40 something time, I think. Okay, the sitting is no problem now. Now it's the laying.' Naruto kept trying to remind himself. He sat down on the water perfectly. Then he stretched his legs out and began to lay down. When he stopped, his back was in the water, but his chest wasn't, and his head was completely in the water. 'Come on, just...put...your...remaining...chakra...into...your...head.' He thought, pushing himself to the limit. His head then began to slowly rise, higher, and higher, until it was even with his back. 'Now the back again.' He gritted his teeth as his back slowly raised up above the water. 'Now the head again.' Naruto kept pushing himself until his whole body finally came up above the water.

When Koichi saw this, she smiled and clapped to show Naruto her approval. But then, Naruto fell through.

--When Naruto came back to shore—

"I sort of did it." He panted heavily.

"Okay, we might want to take a break." Koichi said, stating the obvious.

"Not we, only me." Naruto corrected her.

"Oh yeah, that's right, only you." She repeated. "Let's go get some lunch."

At the sound of lunch the tired Naruto flew up to a standing position. "RAMEN!" He shouted.

"Okay, okay. Take it easy." Koichi responded. She then smiled, 'In a way, he's just like nii-san.' She thought.

A/N: Okay, for those of you who are kind of confused, I'll try to fill you in. Shikamaru isn't a chuunin yet. I think I already mentioned that. Dosu didn't die yet. Gaara only badly wounded him. The other two had only been unconscious for a little while. Shintu and Koichi both know Sasuke rather well because they were taken care of by his clan. In the exams, Naruto, Shikamaru, Sasuke, Sakura, Dosu, Lee, Kiba, Gouchi (A newly added guy), Gaara, and Shino have made it to the finals. Now Naruto is training with Koichi.
