Now for questions:
Romance? Maybe but definitely no yaoi or shounin-ai. If there is any romance that is. Spelling error? Well I did spell check it a hundred times. And also thank you shinigami for the name 'takashi' just because it sounds cool. Anyways on with the chapter!
Disclaimer: Do not own Naruto
A few months training:
I was sad and I showed it. Most of the time I could shrug it of, but not this time. No, this time it was worse. I may be stupid, but the one time I could show this damned village that I was really worth something. I go and fail it, three times to be exact. I sat there with my saddened look I couldn't act anymore not for today at least.
When I was contemplating on what it was that I did wrong to not even create a simple clone Mizuki sensei came up to me. "You know there is a secret way to become genin." he stated beside me. I waited for him to continue "If you go to the Hokage tower and find a scroll that says 'forbidden seals on it and learn one technique from it you'd pass."
Now I was interested. It sounded to perfect, but I would be willing to take a chance. "how Mizuki sensei?"
I asked him.
"Its simple steal it and then come to this place…"
to the forest-------------------
I sat there with the scroll. It was fairly large and I decided to look through it to find the easiest one, because bunshin seems to hard for me. After having a quick look I decided to start from the front anyways.
After twenty minutes with no progress I was frustrated. My anger was growing with every failure until I leaked this blood red chakra. As soon as it came so did the theory of this technique called kage bunshin.
It was so simple now that I got it with every try.
Soon though I heard Iruka sensei. "Naruto why did you steal the scroll of seals!" Iruka demanded, almost as if he did not know about the 'secret test'.
Confused I decided to tell him the truth "Mizuki sensei said that if I learned one technique from here you would have to pass me!" I exclaimed cheerfully.
Then I heard a whirring cut through the air as Iruka pushed me out o the way….
Naruto's room-------------------------
"Iruka sensei!" Naruto shot up from his bed drenched in cold sweat. 'What was that? Was it just a dream?'. he asked himself.
There was a rumbling sound that cut through his thoughts "No that was not a dream it was my memory of that day you passed the genin exam." The great youkai exclaimed.
'your memory?' Naruto asked confused, though still breathing heavily. 'does it have any importance?' he questioned
"Yes did you notice something from that dream? Something important that you asked me the other day?" the demon questioned back.
'Well it happened just like I remembered it. What's wro…wait I know it's the fact that I skimmed through every jutsu wasn't it?' he questioned
"Yes brat, my memory picked up all the jutsus in there." the demon stated.
'so are we going o learn jutsus now?' Naruto demanded more then asked.
"No we prefect then learn. And only an hour a day." the demon then stated "now get changed so we can train that pathetic body of yours!"
"hai" Naruto stated out loud lazily looking over at his clock to see that it was only 4 am.
in the outskirts of Konoha-----------------
'So what to do fur ball?' Naruto asked menacingly at the one who forced him to wake up so early.
"Well, it has been said that if a ninja is skilled enough in their art they can do so without or minimal hand seals. The closest you have is your kage bunshin. Without noticing it you have gone from ten(?) seals to only two now before we go any further we'll learn Bakuretsu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" the Kyuubi said to Naruto
'Well sounds good I remember it was right after kage bunshin. How did it go again.' Naruto thought deeply then flashes of memories appeared. 'A ninjutsu technique where the ninja creates a suicidal kage bunshin. After creating it, the ninja can cause the clone to remotely detonate and explode in combat, taking anyone immediately surrounding it out. When used in close combat, without the enemy noticing, this technique can be quite deadly.'
"It seems like you got all of it now try to remember the seals and get started!" the Kyuubi demanded
The technique was not that different from kage bunshin so Naruto got it within a half hour and was ready for the next item on the list.
"Now that you got that then the next hour will be spent on improving it." The Kyuubi stated. Then added "A bunshin will always appear next to you when you form it so think of a way to hide your clone when you create it." the youkai challenged
'They appear next to me because next to me because I'm the source supplying chakra. So maybe if I…' Naruto tried to push his chakra out of his body but it dispersed immediately. 'so that didn't work lets think, what did I do wrong?' Again there was a flash, this time longer then the first, though it was less then a second in reality.
"It's controlling a doll and using it as a weapon with your chakra." Sakura stated at Naruto's stupidity.
Naruto thought for a minute. 'That's right it's from that time at the chuunin exams!' Naruto exclaimed to himself. 'So the puppeteer sends strings of chakra to the puppet pooling it at where the joints are to move it at their will. So if you could pool chakra in puppets then you must be able to do the same with jutsus.'
Naruto tried again only to end in another disappointing failure. "It's impossible to do!" Naruto screamed out in frustration. ' Not only do I have to continue molding chakra to make strings once I reach there I also have to mold chakra there while still maintaining the string.'
The poor frustrated blond then decided to think more on the subject. ' there must be a way… Why aren't I getting any info from Kyu-sensei on this.' he thought in confusion.
"Well to tell you the truth kuzo I thought of doing it the same way as you!" The mighty fur ball yelled back.
Naruto's face twisted in anger. 'So we wasted 20 minutes for nothing!' he screamed at his counter-part.
"I don't know it might be able to be done… think about it creating rasengan(sp?) out of nowhere. I don't know maybe you can impress me." the youkai contemplated
Then Naruto gave into his confusion. 'wait wait! So your telling me you never did this outside when you where alive? How did you kill all those ninjas then?' Naruto asked.
"Well I've seen some ninjutsus before but never learned them. I used my demon gift controlling fire to do my work. And when they said 'a swing of it's tail could level an entire village' it was true I used my tail to crush everything. You know how huge my demon form is!" the demon explained then added. "and if I did know the kage bunshin, they would have ten of me to deal with. I don't think you'd be alive then."
'Yeah your right' Naruto agreed. Then got back to his work. About that time he looked at the tree he was by. 'Wait think I know the answer. Its like a tree! The chakra is created at it's roots then sent up to the leaves to get molded layers and then it travels under the bark in different sizes forcing it to expand and grow.' Naruto thought to himself
' so my body is the roots, my coils are in which the chakra traverses to me hands which are the leaves. Then when the tree molds different shapes from the leaves, instead of strings I send an unbroken line of layers when perfectly stacked creates a bunshin. Then at the near end, I send a string of chakra not to mold but to not disperse, surround the bunshin. To fill in any cracks created by the layering.' Naruto concluded.
"Great deduction kuzo." Kyuubi congratulated.
Naruto then got down to work. When the 10 minutes passed he had it all figured out and perfected it somewhat. It was a great move that he created himself but there was a problem. Not exactly for him but in a drawn out match it could be a problem. Not so much after it was done but during the creation it took three times the chakra. First was the fact that making the actual bunshin in chakra form and cutting it to itty, bitty layers and sending it the designated area was already double. It took the same amount of chakra to make the string pool around it to compress the layers together.
To Naruto however it wasn't that bad. Before he was able to create a lot, lot, lot of bunshins near him. Now he can make a lot of bunshins in a 100 meter distance from himself. It still takes the same time to create it as the normal ones however.
Three Month later One Month till Chuunin Exams---------------
(A.N. I know that's a lot of skipping but I'm lazy. Plus now I can show off the really cool way I thought of for flying!)
Like any other day at an early time the sun was only rising, it was 6. Most shinobis are still asleep but a select few. One of them was Naruto. Currently in one of Konoha's most dangerous training areas. He decided three weeks ago that he had better get a head start and familiarize himself with the area before the exams.
He wore the same attire as we had seen him earlier black cloak and green and brown kimono. But now strapped on to his kimono was a katana and two metal cylinders as long as the hilt of the katana.
So far training with his team ever since 'the incident' was few. Twice to be exact, the first day to familiarized, the second for the bell test.
Now it was not that they did not get along well, it was the fact that they had all something else to do. Sakura trains with Tsunade, the new kid with Kakashi, and he was training by himself. It took a lot of complaining and convincing but it was the last comment he made that shut up Tsunade and Jiraiya that finally shut them up
Flashback--------
"Naruto! Go with Jiraiya!" Tsunade demanded. "it's the only way to get strong enough to beat Sasuke!"
"She's right kid. Not that your weak, just that he's getting training from Orochimaru, and to counter that I train you." Jiraiya agreed.
"You don't know him as I do." Naruto stated calmly, but it was evident that rage was present. "So what if I beat him! He'll just ask you for training seeing as you made me stronger then him! And if you deny him that he'll just run away again!" Naruto now screamed "If you want to bring him back you have to completely break him." he ended quietly.
"What do you mean?" Tsunade asked with a hint of curiosity.
"I mean if I train myself and beat him he'll see that staying in Konoha can make you strong. If I leave with Jiraiya then it will mean he's right you do need o leave to become strong." Naruto stated quietly and left without another word.
"You know" Jiraiya spoke up. "he has a point."
Tsunade just nodded.
end flashback--------------
Now he's in the forest of death and still has to stay for three more weeks, and only because he begged for a week off from the Kyuubi. Oh how he missed his ramen!
"Okay now I think your finally ready for the first step. The style is called 'Wind' so you have to be like the wind. The first step is unpredictability. One of the best ways to be unpredictable is to be able to predict the opponents movement." the Kyuubi stated.
'How' the ever confused Naruto asked. 'I don't have the sharingan.'
"It's based on their killing intent, fighting spirit, and emotion." Kyuubi stated (A.N. I know Kenshin right?) "But not too much on that probable an hour a day would be good. A harder aspect is flying and hitting multiple areas at once so we will spend more time in those areas."
'Flying!' Naruto gasped.
"Yes" the Kyuubi spat out then continued. "Now the theory is simple but the practical is hard. The theory, which I myself have done, is that if you can walk on water then you can walk on mist."
'Ah so that's why you made me practice kirigakue no jutsu.' Naruto stated with understanding.
"Yes, now you can do it without hand seals they will think it's a bloodline. But anyways you create a mist under your feet and using your chakra move it around and stick to it creating the elution of flying. When actually it's a thin layer of mist. So now get to work!"
To create the mist without hand seals was easy. Applying a thin layer to your feet was easy. But lifting yourself was hard. He tried, and tried, and tried, but it didn't work. The mist didn't move at all.
He then proceeded to sit down and start to think things through. 'to stand on water you must expel the same amount constantly so it should be the same in this case. But there's a difference. Walking on water there is more water underneath the surface so when you expel chakra the surface gets pushed down and water from underneath replaces it thus repeating the cycle. But if you push on a mist there's nothing to replace it and it you create too much then it can be seen.'
Then the idea came what if instead of just pushing down with chakra surround the mist with chakra and push it down at the same time. When that was done the mist stuck to his foot and it was only a matter of pushing upwards for more then down wards for flying.
When this was done Naruto got 10 seconds in the air when he fell. The sudden change in weight on his shoes was so much that he lost his balance and fell.
(A.N. sorry but I'm not doing when he learns how to read movements because I honestly don't know how.)
few weeks later-----------------
It was the first day that his team would see him in his new wardrobe. When h had met them before he changed back into his orange jumpsuit to avoid questions, but now he can blame it on the time he was training alone. In the middle of his thoughts he felt a chakra source come near him
Sakura had just reach he training field of team 7 when she noticed a strange figure in a black cloak with a brown spiral on it. She immediately reached for a kunai when that figure spoke up. "It's me Sakura, Naruto." he stated simply.
Hearing this she relaxed a bit but still kept her guard up. "How do you know I was there?" she asked with curiosity. In truth she had had hid her chakra very well. In fact to the point where you can't feel it.
Naruto smiled and answered her question calmly "You hid your chakra too well." he stated, then turned around to her confused stare. "Normally chakra is everywhere. You hid yours so well that I felt that there was an empty space where no chakra resonated. So I assumed it was you.
"Oh" was the best thing that came to her mind. This was new to her the Naruto she new was definitely not present. This one was different, he spoke calmly, he was knowledgeable, and he did not add the 'chan' after her name. The one thing she was most curios about now was what had happened to him those few months.
Naruto saw Sakura take a spot near a tree and so he continued to look at the river under the bridge.
An hour or so later Naruto spoke up "Where's the other person?" he asked though he thought he knew the answer.
"She's been training with Kakashi for a few months I think that either she picked up his habit, or their still training." Sakura replied to Naruto. Then she asked a question of her own "How do you feel about the up coming chuunin exams?"
Naruto chuckled then answered "well a lot more prepared."
As if on cue a puff of smoke appeared and standing in it was two figures.
Okay that took me a long time. Its also shorter by like 500 words. Any ways think of a name for the oc you guys are just so much better then me at it
