Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. But I still look at the sky and wait for a wishing star and wish for it to become true...
Author's Notes: Wee! I'm back guys. Sorry for the long delay. Mid-Term examinations are a pain. Not to mention it lasted for almost two weeks. My brain was fried.
Anyways, I'm very happy to see that there new reviewers for my story and equally, I am happy to see that the old reviewers are still reviewing. It gave me great joy and an ego boost to see those mails in my inbox indicating that there is a new review for my story. Thank you very much guys!
And so, to answer all those reviews;
Superpervert – I really glad that you liked the story. I'll try to make it more likable in the future.
joecool4 – He! He! Well, we really don't know if Naruto would dare to ask Hinata out on a date. Naruto may always pester Sakura for a date but the same cannot be said about Hinata. I guess you'll just have to read on to find out.
Thank you for finding time to read my story. I really appreciate it!
Dargon Shiento – I'm really both thankful and happy that you liked that chapter. Kinjiro's character will be revealed more or should I say would be focused on more in the later chapters so as to give the readers the idea who he really is.
Again, thank you for reading and reviewing my work. It really means a lot.
Dragon Man 180 – Ha! Ha! Thank you for thinking that the Neji/Tenten moment was excellent. I was going for a more direct approach on that matter but that "apple – incident" seemed to have popped out of nowhere which is really a good thing.
About the Naruto/Hinata fluff, well, it's still early to establish that moment but I'll do my best in updating fast so that we get to it early.
The "Gai giving advise" thingy is a great idea. I'll see what I can do about it.
Again, thank you for reading and reviewing my work!
nonengel – I'm thankful that you liked the Gaara – Lee training session. The idea about that is the fact that Gaara "may have" really been guilty of almost ending Lee's life and the fact that they both fought Kimimaro gave me that idea.
Do you think Naruto is falling really fast? I got the idea of making Naruto look at Hinata differently because of the fact that the Anime had spun 90 episodes and the Manga 200 chapters (in which where I based the start of the story). I believe that there really were already a great number of happenings and that the shifting of Naruto's views is somewhat timely to say the least. But then again, you have a point in the sense that, Naruto is really shifting quite fast. So I guess I'll tone it a bit or provide a few more chapters before Naruto does confess. What do you think?
I'm really thankful that you are enjoying my fic! Thank you very much!
Sirus183 – Thank you for saying that my fic is good. That is a real ego – boost! Thank you very much!
Wolfen Man Unleashed – Thank you for finding the time to read and review my work. You have provided me with great insights and had given me a good view of where I'm currently standing at. Well, to answer your 3 thingies first –smiles-
1. The reason I didn't want to accept anonymous reviews is because of the fact that some reviewers tend to say nonsense (i.e. Your dumb!, What the hell is crappy fic doing here?, You suck!, etc) If anyone would say such things, I would really like them to point out why do they think it is.
But then again, a reader may not have an account in and is just browsing the page and may want to give a review. It would be a hassle if he/she should need to sign up in
So I have decided to follow your suggestion and open the story for anonymous reviews.
2. The Happa - Atemi reminds you of Samurai X huh. Particularly the move Anji thought Sanosuke right? Well, the reason behind the "Explosive Strikes" is similar with the "Double Fist" that Anji taught Sanosuke. The only difference is that, the Explosive Strikes needed chakra to be condensed and provide an explosion while the Double Fist could be done at will. Plus, the Explosive Strike really does "explode" upon impact. More of this will be explained later in the story. And yeah, it is purely coincidence. –smiles-
3. My thanks really extend to Max Knight for thinking that my story is worth your time! Thanks Max Knight! Though, his reasons is still a mystery to me... -laughs-
Well, the glitch I was talking about was calling the leader of Hidden Sky "Sorakage". As Max Knight have pointed out, only the five major villages are the ones allowed to call their leaders Kage. But I think I have found a solution to that which will be revealed soon.
Yeah, I have to agree that the other characters in Naruto are tended to be looked down a bit. I'm not saying all but considering that there are few that really take a turn and look at the other characters of the story. This is where I need the help of the readers because I want this fic to atleast give the full view of what is happening with all the characters rather than just concentrating with the main characters or the ones that looks cool. The anime really had that thing for showing the other characters and I want to incorporate that with my fic. Thank you for mentioning that one.
About Gaara being a little bit friendly, I think by nature, Gaara is friendly. It's just that the village regarded him of being a monster rather than being a normal kid that caused the twisted mind of his. Not to mention the confession of the only person that he cared for hating him as well. More of Gaara's character development will be shown in the future.
About the techniques and training stuff, I'm very confident to say that techniques would come popping out like fruits on a tree. –laughs- and as for the training stuff, I'll try to make it believable and yet unique in its' own way.
I'm glad you find the addition of a new Hidden Village interesting. It will play a significant role in the future of the fic I can assure that. Also, do not worry for I plan on giving Gaara's siblings a fair share of the happenings of this fic. They will, like the other characters, play an important part in the development of the fic.
Please do give advise and such about the story. It would do the story good.
Again, thank you very much for your insights and suggestions. It really helped me a lot.
Max Knight – Before anything else, thank you for showing Wolfen Man Unleashed the link of my story. Thank you very much.
Yeah, I believe you that you see Kinjiro's character in you. It's not that impossible really. It only shows that you are one hell of a person and should be treasured as a friend.
I'm glad you found the Kinjiro-Naruto teaching idea interesting. Again, thank you for reading my work and reviewing.
Well, that's about it for the reviews. Again, thank you all for reviewing my work. It really provides me with not only an ego-boost, but ideas on how to better develop the story and how to put everything in place.
As for indications of speech: "plain speech" Character Speech "italic speech" thoughts "bold italic speech" are Kyubi's or other demons, boss summons, or huge monsters "bold text" Jutsu
So with all those done, let us continue on with the story and see how our heroes are doing –laughs-
Episode 5: Kakashi's promise! The Start of Real Training!
Everything was dark and the air feels damp. Naruto wakes up to find himself in a familiar place he once ventured on. Snorting, Naruto looks up at a giant gate which is held by a seal.
"Hey you damn fox! What do you want this time?!" Naruto snorted obviously irritated.
"Why you brat! People cower in fear in the mere presence of me! I am the great demon Kyuubi!" the voice behind the gate roared releasing a wave of chakra.
Though, Naruto seemed unfazed by all this. "What do you mean great demon?! You are just an annoying fur-ball trapped inside me!" Naruto roared back at the demon fox.
Kyuubi seemed to think for a moment. "Very well, I will let that slide. But atleast give me some respect you brat!"
Naruto blinked a couple of times. "Did I just win an argument with the fur-ball?"
"Don't let your head explode with that ego brat. And don't count your blessings too! And for the last time my name is Kyuubi!" Kyuubi sighed.
Naruto was shocked. "How in the world did you know I was thinking of that?!"
Kyuubi sighed again. "How could the boy be so dense? He should very well know that this is his mind and that is why his thoughts are as good as being said out loud in this place." Kyuubi thought.
Just then Naruto seemed to have remembered something. It obviously irritated him immediately. "Why did you bring me here...?! I was having a good dream just now!"
The demon fox chuckled. "You mean the Hyuga girl you were walking along with your dream. I mean walking?! That's good enough for you?!"
At this, Naruto exploded once more. "What the?! You've been eavesdropping on my dreams as well?!"
The Kyubi sighed with amazement once again. "The brat really is dense." it thought.
"Oi damn fox! You still haven't told me what you want. I'm very busy!"
The fox seem to take a deep sigh once more and continued to talk. "I wish to strike a bargain with you..."
Naruto seemed confused of the Kyubi's proposal. "What do you mean?"
"I wish for you to grant me control of your body for a day..."
"What the?! I'm not that stupid you know! Besides, you will only destroy Konoha when you get out!" Naruto roared pointing an accusing finger on the demon fox cutting the fox before it could even finish.
And once again, the fox demon sighed. "Let me finish first brat! I wish to take control of your body to see the world after 12 years. You don't have to worry for I won't destroy your precious village. Besides, if you grant me my wish, I will let you access my chakra whenever you may need it..."
Naruto stood there dumbfounded and awestruck. Did he just hear him right? The Kyuubi will let him access his chakra whenever he may need it. Immediately after the thought, a line of interest crossed the blonde's face.
Kyuubi seemed to have noticed the sudden change in Naruto's expression. "I said I will give you access to chakra when you may need it! Not do as you please with it!"
"Oh damn! And here I thought I could go running around and impress everybody..." Naruto thought.
Kyuubi on the other hand had rolled its' eyes. "So... Do we have a deal?"
"But you always give me access to your chakra when I needed it! What makes it different with this so-called bargain?"
It was Kyuubi's turn to look at the boy in a dumbfounded and awestruck state. "I'm starting to think this is a bad idea..." Kyuubi thought. "Let me explain clearly. What I mean is that I will let you access to chakra whenever you may need it. Meaning in almost anything you do but, if I believe that what you are about to do is nonsense like going all out to impress people then I will simply not give you any." Kyuubi eyed Naruto. "Do you understand?"
Naruto looked at the demon fox for a while and nodded his head. "Damn! I so wanna impress the village!"
And with that, Kyuubi sighed with a puff of smoke coming out of its' mouth.
Meanwhile, inside the Hyuga Estate, a figure of girl lay on a futon sleeping.
"Naruto-kun..." the girl uttered while sleeping.
Peeking inside the girl's mind, we could see that she is dreaming about a certain blonde boy.
In her dream, she saw Naruto during the academy days where Naruto tends to make fun of himself to make the class laugh
"Naruto-kun... Every time I see you, you are always so full of life..."
During the times she has watched Naruto being kicked out of the restaurant because of unknown reasons. Naruto immediately got up and uttered something about him being recognized in the future as the next Hokage.
"Even though those around you tend to look down on you, you always meet them head on and prove yourself..."
During the battle of Naruto and Kiba where Naruto never gave up and keep on fighting till he won.
"You tend to stand up even when you are badly beaten and always believed in yourself..."
During the Chuunin Exams, Hinata saw herself when she was fighting Neji in the Chuunin Exams.
"You gave me the strength and courage to move on... To change..."
And finally, during the day when Naruto uttered to Hinata that... He likes her...
"And finally, you have acknowledged me..."
"Naruto-kun... I... Love you..." Hinata once again uttered in her sleep with her face lined with a smile and tint of blush.
Back with Naruto and Kyuubi, the two seemed to have come to an agreement.
"So, do you accept my bargain?"
"I accept! But don't try on ruining Konoha or I'm gonna kick your ass!" Naruto uttered while pointing his right index finger at the Kyuubi.
Kyuubi chuckled. "I would personally like to see you try and do just that... But you need not to worry. I never back down on my word. I do have a word of honor!"
"For your sake, you better do." Naruto snorted while putting his arms on his waist looking at the Kyuubi seriously.
"This boy really is interesting. He may be dense... But nonetheless interesting..." Kyuubi thought.
Realizing something Naruto spoke out-loud. "Say... What time is it?" Naruto uttered while looking around the place to find something that might tell him of the time.
"I believe that the sun has started to rise at this time."
Naruto's eyes widened. "What?! You mean to tell me that it's already morning?! Oh no! I didn't get to sleep yet! Damn you fox for keeping me awake!"
"You fool! You are asleep! We are talking in your dream!"
And with that realization hitting, Naruto blushed and uttered a simple; "Oh..."
On another part of Konohagakure, Kakashi stood in front of a grave silently praying. After an hour, Kakashi bid the grave farewell and disappeared in a puff of smoke only to reappear in front of the Hokage Monument.
Facing the Fourth Hokage's Monument, Kakashi took a deep breath and sighed. Closing his only visible eye, Kakashi seems to recollect on the past.
"I wish to take over the supervision of Naruto's training."
Jiraiya's words echoed once again on Kakashi's mind. He sighed once more.
"Since you seem to focus on the Uchiha kid more rather than him..."
Another phrase echoed in his mind. Though this time, these words seemed to have stung the jounin.
"Did I really neglect Naruto...?" Kakashi thought to himself.
Thinking a little bit more, Kakashi did come up to the conclusion that he did pay Sasuke much more attention than Naruto and Sakura.
"I tried to train Sasuke more because I believe that he and I were alike, from the Sharingan to the style of fighting..." Kakashi thought. Pausing to reminisce the times he had spent with Sasuke in training him. "But... I never thought that in doing so... Would make me neglect my other two students..."
Kakashi opened his eye once again and faced the Fourth's monument. "You always treated, acknowledged, and trained as equal sensei..." Kakashi uttered almost in a whisper. "I am sorry that I have not done so with my students... I think I have failed you sensei... I am weak..." Sadness could visibly be acknowledged on the jounin's face.
"There's still time..." a voice from behind spoke cutting Kakashi's train of thought.
Turning around, Kakashi saw a silver haired main in with a white animal fur like jacket. "Hmm... That's the?!"
Flashback:
"Kakashi, the new member of team seven that I am assigning to you is the son of the Sorakage of the Hidden Village of Sky." Tsunade uttered while talking to Kakashi.
"Sorakage...? I thought that only the major 5 countries are the ones only allowed to call their village leader Kage?" Kakashi asked quizzically.
"That is true. But...." Tsunade replied which made Kakashi's right brow raise.
"The title 'Kage' is given to the leader of a great shinobi village mainly because the village itself is both large and powerful. The Hidden Village of Sky does meet these requirements and thus, it is qualified to be one of the Great Shinobi Villages." Tsunade continues.
"But still, that doesn't mean that the Sky can call their village leader 'Kage' does it?" Kakashi inquired.
"That is again true. But, both the Fire and Wind country government agreed to make it so..." Tsunade replied simply. This obviously caught Kakashi in shock.
"You see, the appearance of the Hidden Sky provided both countries a 'wild-card' in case a full-scale war might break loose. Also, the Hidden Sky being strategically established in the border of both the Fire and Wind country gave the countries the opportunity to be able to 'take glance at each other' without really having to sort into sending spies. The Sky also acts as a mediator between the two countries." Tsunade continued.
Kakashi seemed to think of this for a while and then finally let it go. "A village in the middle of two countries..." Kakashi uttered almost in a whisper.
"More likely, 'The Village in the Middle of Two Storm' don't you think?" Tsunade inquired playfully in which Kakashi nodded in agreement.
End of Flashback:
Kakashi immediately bowed to show his respect to the Sorakage.
"Please, there is no need for formalities. I'm after all but human of flesh and blood. There is no need to humble yourself in front of me. Besides, there is only the two of us here." the Sorakage uttered.
"If you wish Sorakage-sama..." Kakashi uttered.
"And please, call me Hogumo. I do not feel very well with that title yet." Hogumo uttered with a warm smile on his face while Kakashi nodded in agreement.
Slowly, Hogumo walks beside Kakashi and looks on towards the Hokage Monument.
"The Fourth was your sensei huh?" Hogumo inquired while looking on towards the Fourth's Monument.
"Hai." Kakashi simply replied while also looking at the Fourth.
"You know Kakashi-kun... People are born in this world imperfect. We all make mistakes that we regret in the future. These mistakes sometimes bring us down so hard that we never recover." Hogumo paused, his face suddenly emitting a warm smile and faced Kakashi.
"But, those who are willing to accept their mistakes are the ones that are truly considered to be strong. Those who are willing to swallow up their pride and admit their faults for the people they care are really the strong ones. You are strong Kakashi-kun, your eyes and your love for your students shows it all."
"Hogumo-san..." Kakashi uttered, sucking up every bit of Hogumo's words into his heart and mind. Hogumo once again gave Kakashi a warm smile.
With that, Kakashi bowed deeply and uttered his deep thanks to Hogumo. "Arigato... Hogumo-san..."
A minute more of standing and looking at the Hokage monument, Kakashi bid Hogumo farewell and was gone in a puff of smoke.
"Arashi... You have a strong and good hearted student..." Hogumo uttered in a whisper while looking at the Fourth's Monument with a warm smile on his face.
Back at Naruto's apartment, the alarm clock beside Naruto's bed started ringing. This in turn woke the sound sleeping blond boy who obviously is pissed.
"Nani?! I didn't set the alarm at this hour! It's only 7:00 am and there is no training today..." Naruto spoke out loud as he hits the alarm clock on its' switch.
"I set it up Naruto-kun..."
Naruto immediately turned around and found a silver haired jounin standing on his window. Naruto blinked a couple of times, his brain trying process the situation.
"K- Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto uttered while still in a dumbfounded state.
"Yo!" Kakashi replied merrily at his dumbfounded student.
"Uh... Ah... Err... Let me just first see if this is true and not a dream." Naruto uttered.
Just then, Naruto pinched his cheek and a yelp of pain escaped his mouth. "Okay! This sure is real!" Naruto exclaimed which earned him a sigh from Kakashi while rolling his eyes.
Kakashi then moved towards Naruto. "Naruto get ready. Meet me at the training field in 10 minutes."
Naruto's eyes bulge out from his eye sockets. "Nani?! We don't have training today!"
Kakashi gave Naruto a grin. "Now we do..." he uttered while disappearing in a puff of smoke leaving a confused Naruto.
Meanwhile, in another part of Konoha, two figures sat opposite each other inside a small apartment.
"Where do you think he goes during this time?" a man with paint markings on his face uttered to the woman in front of him.
"Beats me..." the woman replied while sipping her coffee.
"I mean, he goes out in the morning and return with cuts. The other day, he came back with bruises. Not that major though but still bruises?! I mean Gaara? Bruises? Sounds too impossible don't you think? What happened to the Armor of Sand?"
Just then, a voice from behind interrupted their conversation. "I'm still human you know..." the voice cold and yet still calm at the same time.
The two immediately stiffened at the sound of the voice. Their faces marked with worry of what was about to happen next.
From the stairs came down the familiar figure of Gaara, he looks at his two siblings and moves towards their table. The next thing that happened shocked them beyond their wits.
"Kankuro, Temari, Good morning..." Gaara uttered while taking coffee from the coffee pot.
Gaara looked at his siblings, there was shock marking their faces. Like Naruto, both reached for their cheeks and pinched hard. Screams of pain escaped their faces. Gaara sweat dropped at his siblings actions.
In exactly 10 minutes, Naruto was now in Team 7's training field. Naruto ran with all his might. He soon realized that he was not the first one there for the familiar figure of his sensei sits on the bridge railing and seems to be in thought. Naruto immediately skidded to a stop but failed and stumbled on the ground rolling towards Kakashi.
"You're here. Good job!" Kakashi said with humor on his tone.
Naruto immediately sat up and looked at Kakashi. "Oi, Kakashi-sensei, what are we gonna do for training today?" Naruto asked curiously. His face marked with mixed emotions of curiosity and excitement.
Flashback:
Naruto stood there dumbfounded after Kakashi left.
"What was that again?" he mumbled to himself while the information brought to him by Kakashi is still being processed in his brain.
Immediately after his brain came up to the word 'training', he literally dashed to the bathroom to prepare. After about a minute or so, Naruto's room looked like as though a huge hurricane had come.
End of Flashback:
"I'll tell you when we got inside the forest." Kakashi replied and went on towards the forest with Naruto tailing closely behind.
After a minute of walking, Naruto and Kakashi stopped in a clearing. The familiar place where 3 wooden log stood vertically. Team 7's training ground. Kakashi sat down on the ground while Naruto sat opposite to his sensei.
When the two settled down, Kakashi spoke first; "So Naruto, I heard you have learned many things from one of the Legendry Three."
Naruto nodded with a foxy grin on his face. His thoughts went back on how he learned to use the Rasengan, the Fourth's most powerful Jutsu.
Kakashi chuckled slightly before he continued; "So, before I could continue your training, I need you to tell me what you have learned so that I would know where I could start."
Naruto looked at his sensei in confusion. But it did not last long and he nodded his agreement.
"Well, all we did was how to control chakra more." Naruto uttered while placing his right hand on his chin remembering what he and Jiraiya did. "Oh! Ero-sannin taught me how to summon and how to use the Rasengan!" Naruto continued exclaiming with his trademark foxy grin.
A flash of shock marked the single visible eye of the jounin. "Summon?! And the Rasengan?!" Kakashi thought with awe.
Kakashi immediately wiped the said expression on his face and emitted a curious glare. "Naruto... Show me..."
Naruto stood up slowly, his famous foxy grin flashing. His eyes were that of determination. "Heh! Watch this Kakashi-sensei"
With that, Naruto raised his palm in front of him and started to focus. Soon, a blue orb started to emerge from Naruto's palm. The orb kept growing while swirling and rotating. Kakashi's visible eye could only widen in amazement. "Whoa! It took years for the fourth to master that technique! Naruto..."
"That is enough Naruto." Kakashi uttered deciding he had seen enough. Naruto immediately complied and made the Rasengan disperse.
"So Naruto, how long did it take you to learn the technique?" Kakashi inquired with obvious interest.
Naruto bring his right hand in front of him and started counting. "Umm... Two weeks."
The jounin was once again is in a state of shock.
Meanwhile, inside Konoha, Kinjiro was once again happily strolling the city. "This city is really great!" he thought to himself.
While walking, Kinjiro came to a shop. He studied it carefully and a smile crept on his face. He entered the shop and soon found out that there is no one there. He strolled inside the shop admiring a few flowers here and there.
"Anything I can help you with?" a female voice interrupted Kinjiro's admiration.
Turning around, Kinjiro saw a blonde female with emerald colored eyes. She is wearing an apron over her clothes. Kinjiro couldn't help but stare into the girl obviously captivated by her. "Whoa! She's beautiful..." he thought.
The girl on the other hand noticed that Kinjiro is staring at her. She felt her cheeks burn that she had to look down on the ground. "What in the world is happening to me? Calm down! He's just a customer!" she thought to herself. Mustering courage, she looked up and smiled at the man in front of her.
"The flowers are really beautiful aren't they?" the blonde girl uttered still with a tint of blush in her face. "What the...?! Where did that come from?! Calm down Ino! Calm down!"
"Y-yes... Yes... You are beautiful..." Kinjiro uttered still in trance like state.
Ino immediately blushed all over at his comment. On the other hand, realization immediately hit Kinjiro of what he just uttered. "Oh my heavens! What did I just say?! Crap! This is so embarrassing!" Kinjiro thought as a blush crept to his face.
"I-I mean, t-these flowers are really beautiful!" Kinjiro stammered defensively fighting the blush that is creeping on his face.
Ino tried to regain her composure but still failed. Kinjiro's outburst has certainly caught her off-guard. If the staring already did, his outburst definitely takes the cake. "Y-yes! T-they are beautiful aren't t-they?" Ino stammered while the furious blush on her face still remained.
An awkward silence befalls the two that lasted a minute or so. Kinjiro seeing no way out of it bowed his head in apology. "I'm so sorry for staring at you like that!"
Ino now regained some of her composure and looked at Kinjiro. "N-no! It's alright..."
Kinjiro then faced Ino and gave her a warm smile. "By the way my name is Uehara Kinjiro. What's yours?"
Ino looked at the boy in front of her and recalled his name.
Flashback:
Ino met up with Sakura yesterday and saw she was tired.
"Hey Sakura, you looked tired. What happened?" Ino inquired.
"Well, Kakashi-sensei trained us today in chakra control. I think he went overboard this time though..." Sakura replied half breathing deeply.
"Oh... So he trained you two then. I mean you and Naruto."
"No, he trained three of us exactly... I mean, we have a new member in Team Seven." Sakura uttered while facing Ino.
"Really? Who's the new member?" Ino inquired curiously.
"His name is Uehara Kinjiro. He's from the Hidden Village of Sky, a newly established village."
"I see. So, what is he like?"
"Well... He's a nice guy, a gentleman to be exact. He is also good in chakra control. And he seems strong." Sakura uttered while trying to remember what happened in the Lee and Kinjiro meeting.
Ino's curiosity is reaching a higher level. "As strong as Sasuke-kun?"
Sakura thought for a moment and then stared at Ino. "Honestly... I don't know."
Ino looked at Sakura dumbfounded. "Eh?! What has gotten into Sakura? She should be saying 'My Sasuke-kun is much stronger!' Is this really Sakura?" Ino thought.
"Well... I still think that 'MY' Sasuke-kun is better than 'YOUR' Kinjiro." Ino uttered mischievously.
That obviously hit a nerve in Sakura. "What do you mean 'MY' Sasuke-kun Ino-pig! He is 'MY' Sasuke-kun. Not yours! Besides, Kinjiro is just on Team Seven temporarily. When 'MY' Sasuke-kun is back in his best form, he will come back with 'ME' in Team Seven!" Sakura uttered with a vein popping on her forehead.
"Oops! I guess I thought wrong... She is Sakura..." Ino thought as Sakura kept giving Ino a death glare.
End of Flashback
Ino snapped out of her thought and answered; "I'm Yamanaka Ino. Nice to meet you..."
Kinjiro smiled ones again which Ino returned this time with her own smile.
Back with Naruto and Kakashi, Naruto is performing the summoning technique Jiraiya had thought him.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" Naruto yelled as he slammed his palm on the ground. What appeared next shocked both Kakashi and Naruto.
"Uh... Naruto... Don't you think 'that' still needs to be in the water for it to survive?" Kakashi inquired pointing to Naruto's summon.
Naruto on the other hand had grim and terror marking his face while eyeing his summoned 'Tadpole' that is jumping on the floor. Naruto reminisce the horror of his summoning for the first time which promptly made him dismiss the jutsu.
"Sorry about that Kakashi-sensei! Let me try again!" Naruto uttered while scratching the back of his head with a blush on his face. Kakashi only chuckled and motioned Naruto to do it again.
This time, Naruto was more focused. "I need to show Kakashi-sensei what I have learned so that he will be proud of me!" he thought.
Biting his left thumb, Naruto left a trail of blood on his right palm and performed a series of hand seals. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"
With that, huge puff of smoke appeared. As the smoke cleared, it revealed a huge frog that almost decimated the entire training ground.
"Oi! What did you summoned me this time for kid?" Gamabunta uttered while looking at the surroundings. He immediately noticed a silver haired jounin on the ground below. "Hmm...? Kakashi-kun... I see..."
"Yo! Gamabunta!" Kakashi waved at the toad boss.
"So... You are finally taking this seriously... The Fourth would be happy to see this for himself..."
Kakashi looked at Gamabunta in the eye and nodded. Naruto on the other hand peeked on top of Gamabunta's head and looked at Kakashi. "Err... Boss... What do you mean 'finally taking this seriously'?" Naruto asked the Toad Boss.
Gamabunta let out a chuckle and addressed Naruto; "Kid... I think it is time that you learn what Kakashi is really capable of... I'll see you again when you need me." Gamabunta uttered while disappearing in a puff of smoke.
Naruto safely fell on the ground and looked at Kakashi with curiosity. "Kakashi-sensei... What does boss mean?"
Naruto looked at Naruto and chuckled. "You'll see... You'll see..."
End of Episode 5
Author's Note: There goes another episode. I'm happy on how this one turned out. I hope you guy will be too.
Now to answer the obvious questions that may have risen in the course of reading this chapter.
The answer is 'YES'. I am planning on making Naruto learn from Kakashi. I believe it is fair since Kakashi is Naruto's sensei and that I believe that the only thing Naruto learned from him is chakra control. -laughs-
And 'YES', I am planning in bringing Sasuke back on Team Seven. What happens to Kinjiro is for you to find out in the later episodes of the story. I do believe that Sasuke imposes an important aspect in Naruto's development as a shinobi. They are after all, "Rivals"
And 'NO', I don't hate Sasuke. I believe that he is someone misguided in his search for power. And who is the one better to pull him out? Naruto ofcourse, for he has the power to affect and change the people around him without him knowing it.
And another 'YES', the pairing for Ino seemed obvious at this point don't you think? -smiles-
And yet another 'YES', Kyuubi is acting friendly. It will be revealed in the future as to why it is acting this way.
Then another 'YES', I'm going to be using the name "Arashi" as the name of the Fourth. If the real name of the Fourth soon arises and is not "Arashi", then will gladly change it to what his real name is.
Well, I hope those are cleared up. If you are ever wondering about certain part of the fic, then feel free to ask away. I will try to my fullest to answer your questions.
And oh, one more thing, as I have said before (I think I did...) Jutsus will be popping here and there. Since the world we live in is such a small world, I would like you guys to point out if a certain jutsu that appeared on my work has already been done so that I can credit the creator of the jutsu. If by any chance that the creator of the said jutsu doesn't want his to be copied, then I will gladly remove it from my fic. But still, please point me to the said jutsu first so that I can verify it for my own.
As for the jutsus that I made for this story, 'YES' you can copy them and use them in any way you please as long you give me atleast a little credit for it.
Well, that's about it. Thank for reading my work. Take care you all and God Bless!
