"Talking" 'Thought' "Kyuubi and Naruto Talking in his mind"
Konoha disappeared from view as Jiraiya carried Naruto away from the village. "Oi Ero-Sennin! Where are we going??" Naruto asked as he struggled to be placed down. Jiraiya suddenly stopped and put the blond boy down. He then sat down on a log and motioned for Naruto to sit also. Naruto gave a frown but sat down infront of his sensei.
Jiraiya sighed then said "Well Naruto I guess it's time I told you about your past since where were going you'll be finding out about your ancestors and the destiny that is yours to claim."
Naruto looked at him abit confused , scratching his head trying to figure out what Jiraiya just said then suddenly said proudly. "Destiny?? You can change destiny! " Naruto answered. Jiraiya sweat dropped and yelled "BAKA!! Im going to tell you who your parents are! So listen closely" Naruto finally understood what Jiraiya meant. His sensei then stared at him right in the eye. "Do you know why the Yondaime sealed Kyuubi in you?" Jiraiya asked his tone of voice rather serious. Naruto placed a hand on his chin and thought. After a few minutes of thinking Naruto then replied "Yondaime sealed Kyuubi in me because he wanted to save the village from the Large Fur Ball!!" Jiraiya smiled abit then said "Ever wonder why he chose you??" At this Naruto shook his head indicating that he did not know.
"Well boy The Yondaime was alot like you...Loud , Hyperactive and full of determination. Both of you are so alike because...." Jiraiya stopped at this and look at the boy. Naruto just stared at Jiraiya then said "Because what???" Naruto asked impatiently. "Because Naruto...The Yondaime was your father....He chose you because You are alot like him....You were destined for great things." Jiraiya replied proudly and waited for the boys reaction. "NaNI??!!??" NAruto's yell could be heard all thru out the forest.
'Yondaime was my father??' Naruto thought as tears started to leak from his eyes..gently trickling down his face.
"There there my Boy...No need to cry" Jiraiya patted Naruto on the back. "Thank you Ero Sennin...even though it feels wierd i'm happy that Yondaime-tousan chose me." Naruto answered giving Jiraiya his trade mark Foxy Grin. Jiraiaya smiled back then said "Let's go now Naruto time for us to leave we have a long way to go." Naruto wiped away his tears and stood up. Both of them without a word leaped towards the trees jumping form one branch to another.
Jiraiya then glanced at Naruto and a small smile crept upon his face. 'Your son is as strong as you Yondaime' Jairaiya thought as he lead them both northward.
"By the way Ero Sennin Where are we going??" Naruto once again questioned the perverted Sannin. "We are going to see an old friend of mine"
Naruto just nodded as he and Jiraiya quickened their paced. Both of them travelled for days going thru deserts and plains. They long since left the Fire Country Border, Naruto had at one point looked back before he took a step beyond the sign post. Soon they past all of the countries and still kept on going. It took them a week before they arrived at their destiny.
Jiraiya stopped infront of a huge wooden gate. He looked around trying to find the owner of the Dojo that stood not far from them. The door of the dojo opened and an old woman with pink hair stepped out. Behind the old woman stood four teenagers. One had red hair flowing down his shoulder while the next one was short with dark hair that rivaled Kakashi's defy gravity silver hair. The middle one had short black hair and eyes that glowed with power. The teen beside him had orange hair and a smug look on his face. "Jiraiya-san How nice of you to visit me" The old woman finally said after taking a step forward.
"It's been a long time Genkai-sensei" Jiraiya replied after bowing low to the old woman. Naruto looked at Jiraiya and the at Genkai. 'Genkai sensei?? Nani?/ I thought Sandaime Oji-san was Ero-Sennin's teacher' Naruto thought as he observed what was happening before him. "Ano sa Ano sa Ero Sennin ....Who's the Obaa-san??" Naruto asked while poking Jiraiya on the shoulder. "BAKA!!!!" Jiraiya yelled as he pummeled Naruto in the head with his head. Yusuke , Kurama , Hiei and Kuwabara sweat dropped at the display between teacher and student. Genkai laughed abit and said "It's alright Jiraiya-san. To what honor do I owe the great toad hermit for this visit?" Genkai gave a small smile as Jiraiya straightened up and said "Well you see Genkai sensei..I have come here to ask a favor." A favor??" Genkai asked. "Hai" A favor to Train my young apprentice until my return." Jiraiya answered bowing low as he said so. "Hhmm....okay your favor is granted but you must send me a copy of your book whenits done" A small blush forming in Genkai's face as she finished her statement. NAruto sweat dropped at this and said to himself "Perverts" "But I can only train him shortly..you see my power has already been transferred to Yusuke here" Genkai said gesturing to the one with short hair to step forward. "Aahh so this is your student after Yondaime-sama." Jiraiya replied eyeing Yusuke. "These are his friends..Yusuke please introduce yourselves" Genkai said as she took a seat on a rock. "Urameshi Yusuke" Yusuke introduced himself to both Jiraiya and Naruto. The one with orange hair stepped forward and said in an arrogant voice "My name is Kazuma Kuwabara and Im the strongest of the group." This statement earned him a death glare from the short one and a smack from Yusuke. The short one stepped forward and said in a quiet yet deadly voice "Jaganshi Hiei" Inside Naruto Kyuubi stirred from his cage, He felt demons nearby and the scent of his pupil Raizen. The red haired one of the group stepped forward and introduced himself "Shuuichi Minamano or Youko Kurama" Naruto's seal suddenly started glowing ..Kyuubi sense his brother Kurama nearby..
Kurama/Minamino suddenly felt a twinge of recognition as he saw a flash of red in Naruto's eyes. 'Could it be?? Aniki??' Kurama thought as he gazed on the blond haired boy who stepped forward. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto and I'm going to be the next Hokage!" Naruto said. Jiraiya shook his head and placed his hand on the boys head. "That he will be if trains well enough.." Jiraiya said as he dropped on his knee and said to Naruto. "Naruto i will be away for sometime..I'll be back for you after a year I need to go somewhere." Naruto cross his arms and said "Bah! I bet your just going to peek at women again" Jiraiya just sweat dropped and replied "Baka!! Im going to try and find someone who can train you in your bloodline limit!!" Naruto just grinned happily and leaped into the air. "YOSH!! I have a bloodline limit!!" Naruto started dancing around
like an idiot. Kuwabara just coughed and slipped his foot forward tripping Naruto. The boy fell face first on the ground. Naruto quickly got up and glared at Kuwabara. He started yelling "Teme!!!! I'll beat you up for doing that!" Kuwabara just smirked and said "try it Gaki!!" Yusuke, Minomino and Hiei just sweat dropped and took a step back. Hiei whispered to Yusuke "Ten dollars says the kid beats Kuwabara." Yusuke smiled and said "Your on!"
Jiraiya and Genkai also bet on the outcome of the match. "I Bet my next volume of Come Come Paradise that Naruto will beat your student." Genkai just smiled and said " Kuwabara isnt my student but oh well I'll take that bet."
Kuwabara immediately went into the offensive creating his [Rei Ken]Spiritual Sword. He then charged at Naruto swinging his sword wildly. Naruto just smiled as he sidestepped to the right and threw a punch aimed at Kuwabara's head. Kuwabara ducked low and swung his sword at Naruto. The sword ripped Naruto's jacket revealing his bare stomach. Naruto growled as he skidded a few feet backwards. "Hah! I'll beat this kid up and win.I'll show you im the strongest in the team." Kuwabara said proudly as he gripped his spirit sword tighter. "Don't underestimate me" Naruto then said the Three dreaded words that would someday be feared. With determined sapphire orbs Naruto then charged forward his hands already performing his favorite seal. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" The boy yelled as six clones appeared along side him running towards Kuwabara. The five clones quickly surrounded Kuwabara who waved his Spiritual Sword trying to defend himself. The five clones then leaped forward crying out battle cries at Kuwabara. 'Hehehehehe..This is for tripping me' Naruto thought as he appeared behind Kuwabara with his hands on the Tiger seal. Kuwabara swung his sword at the clones destroying them one by one. "Ancient Taijutsu Supreme Technique: A thousand years of Pain!" Naruto yelled as he struct Kuwabara from behind. 'What the hell?' Kuwabara thought as he felt immense pain from his behind. "YOOOWWW!!!!!" Kuwabara flew to the air holding his ass. Naruto was laughing hysterically along with Yusuke Kurama and Hiei. Yusuke grumbled as he handed a worn out Ten Dollar from his wallet to Hiei. Genkai grumbled and gave Jiraiya a scroll from his pockets. "Very Well Jiraiya san I will train your apprentice.. My Students..will help me train him" Genkai said in a tone that meant 'say yes or i will deliver immense punishment on you.' Yusuke and the others sweat dropped and nervously nodded and replied. "Hai we will help train the boy."
Jiraiya smiled and said "Arigato Gozaimasu." He motioned for Naruto to bow down in gratitude. NAruto grumbled about being force to bow down. "Now that's settled I must take my leave." Jiraiya said Naruto nodded to Jiraiya and ran to Genkai's side. "Train well Naruto..Next time we meet will be more intense training!" Jiraiya said as he started his journey towards the East. "Hai Ero-Sennin!! And Don't go peeking at any women while your at it!!" Naruto yelled which cause Jiraiya to sweat dropped as the man disappeared from sight.
"Now Naruto it's time to train!" Genkai's voice suddenly sounded serious and with authority. Naruto turned towards Genkai with dread. Without a word Naruto then moved towards his new Senseis eager to learn new jutsu's and get stronger. Genkai had Naruto do push-ups and pull-ups on the surface of the lake. Naruto grumbled as he started concentrating his chakra and began his exercise. The exercise took longer than expected Naruto kept on miscalcualting and fell into the cold water. Despite that Naruto didn't give up on it until he finished the exercise. Genkai nodded and said "Good Enough..You may rest now..We will begin the real training tomorrow" Genkai then thought 'He's just the same as Yondaime..hhmm He will be a good apprentice to train' Genkai then went to her room. Yusuke , Hiei Kurama and a reluctant Kuwabara showed Naruto where they slept. upon reaching the rooms , Naruto dropped onto the futon and fell asleep before his head hit the pillow. Yusuke and the others snickered at this and went to their beds as well.
Inside of Naruto Kyuubi stirred even more....
Naruto suddenly felt water splashing on his face. 'Nani?/ Water??' He opened his eyes and suddenly saw where he was.. Damped walls and water on the floor, dripping sound can be heard. 'I know this place!' Naruto thought as he began to trek towards the familiar place where the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is kept.
"Naruto come closer..." Kyuubi called from his cage.
"What do you want fur ball??" Naruto said as he leaned on the wall before the gigantic gate. "I sense someone closed to me...and I want him to know im here." Kyuubi replied as he tried to move in his cage. "Someone close to you?" Naruto asked his face full of confusion. "Yes..my little brother...Kurama..the five tailed demon fox.." Kyuubi answered while trying to remember his long lost brother. Naruto thought about it then said "What will I get out of this?? you might be tricking me!!" Naruto asked. Kyuubi laughed at this "That cannot happen..for I learned the hardway.. I am indeed mortal..if you die I die also" Kyuubi then said abit of sadness in his terrifying voice. "I don't have much time anymore..It is almost time for me to go..This seal that your father has place..is slowly..infusing me..to you...Soon you will gain my power and knowledge." Naruto looked troubled at this news "Does..Does this mean I'll become a demon??" Fear now in his voice as he was scared if that ever happend. "No..you will still be you only with the power and knowledge of the Kyuubi" Kyuubi answered while waiting for his vessel's reply. "When will the fusion occur??" Naruto asked. Kyuubi sighed and said "I do not know..It may be soon for i felt the seal tugging onto my power in huge amounts." Naruto then smiled and finally replied with a happy voice. "Okay Kyuubi..i will try to bring Kurama here with you..What do i need to do??" Kyuubi gave a rather terrifying grin.
Thru the bars red chakra started to seep towards Naruto. Naruto didn't budge as he felt the same sensation the first time this happend. Only this time a technique came into his head. A sleeping jutsu that will enable Kurama's spirit to enter Naruto's mind. "Let Kurama perform this jutsu" Kyuubi said while Naruto held his head clutching it tightly. After a few moments the small headache passed and Naruto smiled abit. "Okay Kyuubi I'll tell your brother" With that Naruto left the chamber of the Kyuubi.
Kyuubi then watched the back of his vessel. "you deserve my power Boy..You have proven to me that you can handle it use it well" Kyuubi then returned to his slumber letting his formless body rest.
Naruto went back to sleep dreaming about Ramen and Being Hokage..but after a few moments..Kyuubi's form and the Yondaime's form came into his dream. Naruto watched in his dream as Yondaime and Kyuubi fought...
The rest of the night was uneventful letting the fighters sleep like babies.
Tomorrow Naruto's real training would begin..and Kurama, Hiei and Yusuke will discover something about Naruto.
