After meeting with kyuubi , Kurama met up with Yusuke , Hiei and Genkai. The four of them discussed the course of action that they should take. Yusuke had already agreed in teaching Naruto the Spirit Light Wave Style since he wasn't going to be a tentei anymore he needed to pass on his power. Hiei on the other hand was abit skeptical about the idea but then he remembered lingering scent of a fox. With a rare smile Hiei agreed as well to teach Naruto the Jaou-En Satsu Ken. "What about Kuwabara?? Shouldn't he teach Naruto his techniques too??" Genkai sensei asked after noticing that the fourth member wasn't there. "That depends with him Sensei" Kurama asked as he leaned back in his chair in thought.
'The Bloodline of the Demon Foxes..' Kurama thought as he took a sip of his tea. After a few minutes Kurama spoke again "Guys i never told you about my bloodline limit..The bloodline limit of the Demon Foxes...After Aniki will be absorbed by the seal..I will be the last." Yusuke and Hiei understood what their comrade meant. Yusuke himself was the only son of Raizen while Hiei himself was not sure of his bloodkin save for his sister Yukina. "What is the bloodline of the Demon Foxes?" Hiei asked while thinking about the lessons he will teach Naruto. "Well we the demon foxes mostly are elemental keepers..we use two type of elements above all others. Mine are the earth/poison element..That's why I use plants for most of my techniques. Kyuubi's strength is in the Fire/Dark elements. Our bloodline also allows us to communicate with our surroundings. Nature talks to use it even warns us of danger." Kurama explained. Yusuke and Hiei were staring at space deep in thought while Genkai just sat there contemplating on the two brother's abilities combined into one.
"So It's agreed then We will teach Naruto our techniques" Kurama said as he stood up taking with him his cup of tea. Genkai , Yusuke and Hiei nodded in agreement.
For
8 months Naruto's training became more intense. His sensei's doubled
their efforts in building up his stamina and chakra. Although he had
lots to chakra Naruto could still not mold it well enough. So his
training mostly consisted of molding exercises. 3 months after
exhausting molding exercises, his sensei's finally found it fit for
him to learn their techniques.
The four of them taught
Naruto their techniques from the Spirit Light Wave Style of Genkai to
Hiei's King of Evils Flame Blaze Slash Style. Yusuke taught Naruto
the Rei Gan first since it was the easiest. The boy had difficulty at
first concentrating but with abit of reminder from his Rasengan
training. Naruto was finaly able to use the Rei Gan. After learning
the Rei Gan , Naruto was determined to learn more about the Spirit
Light Wave Style. At nights he could be seen outside practicing what
he learned from Yusuke. Naruto now had the Ju-ryou-jou
- Shu no Yu [ Training - Enchanted Spirit Shackles] .
The shackles greatly improved Naruto's chakra and
Stamina reserves. He was told to the a one finger stand while
concentrating his chakra at the tip of his index finger. Yusuke had
him doing this everyday to improve his concentration. Something that
Yusuke found Naruto lacked. This exercise took from 1 hour to a full
day, leaving Naruto exhausted at sunset.
After learning most of the Spirit Light Wave Style, Naruto went to Hiei for his training. Hiei did not immediately teach the boy his techniques. Instead Hiei trained Naruto in becoming faster. He did this by increasing Naruto's weights and have him run from the dojo to the top of a mountain. Naturally Naruto would complain about Hiei's methods but would only get a glare or a hard whack on the head. This went on for 2 months , the log that Naruto dragged along behind him gradually increased in number. During these 2 months , Hiei would engage Naruto in a race to see who is faster than them. At first Hiei kept on winning these races , making Naruto even more determined to gain his acknowledgement. So Naruto took this speed training that Hiei had given him abit more seriously. Aside from the speed training, Hiei taught Naruto how to use a Katana since It might be needed.
Naruto was more than excited in learning how to use the sword. After watching Hiei's combination of speed and sword , Naruto immediately started training with a wooden sword. Hiei taught Naruto the basics first since the boy was abit reckless. Naruto gave Hiei a glare after hearing the words 'Reckless Idiot' , this earned him a nice new bump on his head. So along with his speed training, Naruto learned how to use a katana. Learning how to use a katana became abit easier for Naruto. This became a surprise to Hiei since he didnt relly think that the boy could grasp on how to use the weapon easily.
"Good job Naruto" Hiei said while ruffling the boy's head. Hiei walked passed the boy and motioned for him to follow.
Naruto was shocked at this. 'He acknowledged me...' Naruto thought as a smile crept on his face. Breaking into a foxy grin, Naruto yelled "Thank you Hiei Sensei."
Naruto followed his sensei to a clearing. "Eh? What are we doing here Sensei??" Naruto asked while he looked around his surroundings.
"Training What else..It's high time you learned my techniques" Hiei said. His left hands slowly untying the bandages on his right arm. Naruto just watched Hiei take off the bandages to reveal the black tattoo coiled around his arm. After a few minutes Hiei raised his arm slightly as black flames erupted from his arm. "What I'm going to teach you is called the King of Evils Flame Blaze Slash Style or Jaou-En Satsu Ken" Hiei explained.
Naruto just stared at Hiei's arm as if hypnotize by the ebony colored flame. "When do we start?" Naruto asked his tone of voice filled with excitement.
"How about now? but We will need Kyuubi's help.." Hiei replied with a glint of pride and fear in his voice.
Naruto immediately closed his eyes and began to talk to Kyuubi thru his thoughts 'Oi Kyuubi!' Naruto yelled in his mind.
"What you want kid?" Kyuubi's voice filled his head. The great demon fox knew this day would come eversince he felt Hiei's ki signature.
'Help me with this technique called the King of Evils Flame Blaze Slash Style' Naruto replied.
'Okay' was only Kyuubi's reply.
Kyuubi began to transfer his chakra to Naruto, giving the boy enough power for him to use.
Naruto slowly opened his eyes , changed from a sapphire to a blood red color. "Okay Sensei I'm using Kyuubi's chakra" Naruto said while clenching his fist. The power....Naruto felt the power of the Kyuubi. he was now accustomed to it ever since he learned how to use it.
"Good" Hiei said as the tattoo in his arm began to awaken from its prison. The black dragon arose from Hiei's arm , rising high up into the sky. As it neared its peak , the dragon began to descend towards Naruto. The dragon let out a roar that made Naruto tremble but the boy stood his ground. Hiei held onto his arm trying to regain control of the dragon as it slowed down and finally stopped inches from Naruto. Hiei sighed in relief as he was able to stop the dragon from obliterating Naruto. Hiei closed his eyes and began to concentrate.
Naruto was shaking from where he stood , right infront of him was a huge dragon that seems to be made out of black flames. He grinned nervously at Hiei who had began to chant a few words. Naruto decided to have a little chat with Kyuubi while waiting.
'Oi Kyuubi!! Do you know this technique??' Naruto asked while trying to calm his nerves.
'Yes I know of the move..Your lucky if Jaou will even listen to you. Your sensei seems to have trouble controlling him.' Kyuubi answered.
'Heh I'll make this Jaou listen to me! like i made Gamabunta listen to me' Naruto answered back.
'Riight..like you calling him boss??' Kyuubi answered abit of amusement in his voice.
'eerr No I will make Jaou listen to me! and thats final!' Naruto said.
Naruto then opened his eyes and saw that Hiei was about to finish. He suddenly felt intense pain on his right armas the Dragon dove into his arm. It coiled around his arm its head resting at the edge of his palm. "OOWw OOWWW" Naruto yelled while holding onto his arm. He felt like the fires of hell was burning into his arm.
"Don't be such a baby Naruto It'll subside" Hiei reprimanded while resting against a boulder. The transfer had taken alot from him, he could still call forth the dragon but can't hold it for 2 minutes or so. Finally the burning sensation in Naruto's arm ceased, in its place was the same tattoo that Hiei had.
Naruto gave Hiei a foxy grin while creating a very small black flame in his hand. "Hey Hey look!! I can make a flame in my hand!!" Naruto yelled excitedly , showing Hiei the small flame.
Hiei smiled at this and then began to teach Naruto how to fully utilize the technique. He warned Naruto though that Jaou might not listen to him if he is weak and might turn against him. Naruto nodded taken in everybit of information as he can while listening to Kyuubi's advice in his head.
Hiei had Naruto practice with the black flames before trying to summon Jaou. Hiei gave Naruto the rest of the day off while he rested to regain the Ki that he lost in summoning Jaou.
Naruto used the rest of the day to train himself and letting himself get use to the flame. He trained himself in wrapping his fist in the flame and punching a log numerous times. Unknown to him this was already one of the techniques the Jaou-en Satsu Ren Goku Shou or King of Evil's Flame Slash Purgatory Scorching. Naruto continued to practice punching the log when it suddenly erupted in splinters. Naruto looked at his fist then at the now shattered log. 'Yata!! I'm stronger!' Naruto happily dance while shouting out loudly in his head.
Kyuubi could hear Naruto's shouts echo inside of his cage. 'Why does he have to be so loud.' Kyuubi thought to himself while trying to sleep again.
After recieving that Tattoo Naruto was then plunge into intense training by Hiei. Everyday Hiei drilled Naruto into maximizing his use of king of evil's flame . The first time Naruto had summoned Jaou, it was abit of a surprise to both teacher and student. Jaou seemed tamed, it came out easily and even listened to Naruto. Unknown to the two of them Kyuubi had a little chat with Jaou. Jaou , an old friend of Kyuubi's , had willingly agreed to give its power to Naruto if the boy uses it wisely. Kyuubi of course assured Jaou and that was that.
Naruto could now control Jaou but he still had trouble with the techniques. The only thing that kep Hiei from strangling Naruto was because of in fear of Jaou but then Naruto didn't seem the type to use a technique on someone who taught him the very technique. So Hiei used all of his patience in teaching Naruto. Eventually the boy mastered all of the techniques. The boy worked really hard to master the techniques to a point when he created techniques of his own.
He called one technique Kaku RyuKen[Black Dragon Fist]. Hiei could not believe at what he saw when he arrived on that day. Naruto had created a technique in which the head of Jaou covered his fist. Hiei smiled at the boy, Naruto was an amazing person who never ceased to surprise people.Naruto had even surpass Hiei in speed due to the logs that he dragegd behind plus the weights which had been added up to 5500 lbs. When the logs were detached from Naruto, what shocked him the most was his speed. It had surpassed Hiei even though he was wearing the heavy load all over his body.
'I wonder how fast I am' Naruto thought as he ran circles around Kuwabara making him dizzy. Yusuke , Kurama , Hiei and Genkai were laughing at Kuwabara who attempted to
After 8 months of training with Yusuke and Hiei , Naruto had gained both Yusuke and Hiei's techniques plus Hiei's speed and swordsmanship. Naruto took a week off training resting and treating himself to some nice Ramen which Kuwabara had bought it from the city. Behind him 30 empty cups of instant ramen piled in the trash bin. Kuwabara just twitched in watching Naruto stuffed himself with the Instant ramen. Naruto gave Kuwabara a foxy grin when suddenly he felt Kyuubi stir.
Naruto immediately told Kuwabara to get the others. While waiting for the others to arrive , Naruto closed his eyes and began to communicate with Kyuubi.
'Oi Kyuubi whats happening??' Naruto asked with abit of worry in his voice. He waited patiently for Kyuubi to reply when he suddenly felt the familiar sensation of falling.
Naruto landed right outside of the cage where the seal on the gate was glowing. He quickly got up and watched what was happening
"Kyuubi whats happening??" Naruto asked urgently while he squined his eyes trying to look for the fox. What greeted him really scared the day lights out of him. Kyuubi stepped up to the bars in a humanoid form. The same form as Kurama was in but instead of silver white hair, Kyuubi had orange hair and behind him his 9 tails swung to and fro. The tails caused ripples of chakra to escape from the cage which went passed thru the seal then head straight into Naruto.
'The seal is absorbing me' Kyuubi answered his voice suddenly sounding abit old. Kyuubi looked exactly like Kurama in his transformed state but he wore a black gi instead of white.
"It has been a pleasure knowing you Naruto-kun" Kyuubi said his voice sincere and happy. Naruto nodded while trying his best not to cry. He suddenly felt all of Kyuubi's power and knowledge being absorbed into the seal then shoot out towards him.
Outside in the real world
Kurama , Yusuke and Hiei watched the unconscious form of Naruto. Kurama was worried about the boy, they had arrived here to find Naruto lying on the ground. Naruto's body felt cold as if he was dying. the three of them quickly went to work into keeping Naruto warm. Hiei built a fire in the fireplace while Yusuke went to get a pillow and blanket from the room. Kurama stayed beside Naruto watching over him. A huge power surge was happening to Naruto.
The seal was doing all it can so Kyuubi's power can accomodate Naruto's body thus making some changes in it. Naruto was going thru some changes, his body suddenly started to grow. His hair started to have red streaks coming from the roots to the edges of his hair. The most obvious change were the whisker marks in his face. They became more and more pronounce darkening with each passin second. Kurama then saw the seal on Naruto's stomach. It had begun to spin, at first it was a slow spin but then it gathered speed soon it sould not be recognize as the seal as it slowly disappeared again.
Once
the seal disappeared smoke came out, forming the head of kyuubi. It
nodded its head to Kurama while mouthing the words 'Goodbye
Brother..Teach him well.'
At that point Kurama knew that he
was the last of his kind. He closed his eyes and vowed in Kyuubi's
spirit that he will finish Naruto's training. A single tear fell from
Kurama which landed on the spot where the seal use to be. Kurama
began to send all of his thoughts towards Naruto.
Kyuubi's spirit was nomore..Naruto gained Kyuubi's knowledge and power along with the Demon Fox Bloodline. Kurama then began to transfer all of his thought and information about his techniques thru telepathy. Kurama concentrated hard as he sent everybit of information about his fighting style and techniques to Naruto. All though the transfer of power was almost done, Naruto still did not wake up. His body was still getting use to the power.
Inside of Naruto's mind
Naruto stood outside the cage of kyuubi which was not open. The cage suddenly started to change also it began to fold up and slowly transforming into a black screen.
Naruto sat on the floor and began to watch the screen as it showed him all of he information he needed.
Ouside
Kurama placed Naruto in his bed so the boy could rest. His temperature had returned to normal but the changes will now always be there. it was then that Kurama notice a red tattoo just above the bandages which hid the Black Dragon. It was a tattoo of Kyuubi's eye and nine tails coiled around him arm.
'Hhhmm thats an interesting Tattoo' Kurama thought as he stepped out of the room and strolled back to the dojo where he others were resting.
"So how is he?" Yusuke asked as Kurama entered the room.
"He'll be fine..just resting now..His body must be trying to change while getting accustomed to Aniki's power" Kurama replied as he took a seat in a chair and poured himself a cup of tea.
2 Weeks had passed and Naruto had still not awaken from his slumber. Yusuke and Kurama were starting to get worried. Hiei and surprisingly Kuwabara just trained themselves so they could not have to worry. The four of them suddenly felt a surge of chakra approaching them. They each got ready to engage anyone who came to their dojo. Yusuke though felt the chakra vaguely familiar. They soon found out who it was.
In a puff of smoke Jiraiya appeared right infront of the dojo. "Yo! I'm back!" The toad sannin said behind him were two cloaked figures. The former Rei Tentei sweat dropped at the sudden appearance of the white haired pervert.
Naruto's eyes suddenly shot wide open as he felt the familiar chakra signature arrive. 'Ero-Sennin is back' Naruto thought happily as he jumped out of bed only o fall flat on his face. 'Oww oowww' Naruto thought as he nursed his nose which really hurt. He suddenly sniffed the air and the scent of Kuwabara approaching the room. He smiled as he leaped onto the ceiling and used chakra under his feet to stick to it.
Kuwabara went inside Naruto's room to check up on the boy only to find Naruto missgng. Kuwabara turned around to yell to everybody that Naruto was missing when he came face to face with Naruto. Kuwabara jumped backwards in fright as he saw Naruto standing upside making faces at him. "AARRRGGGHHHHHH" Kuwabara screamed while backing up into the wall.
The others heard Kuwabara's girlish scream and came running to the source to find out what made their friend scream like that. What they saw made them really laughed hard and abit embarrassed for Kuwabara. Naruto stood upside down making faces at Kuwabara. Yusuke smacked Kuwabara in the face to stop him from screaming. By this time Naruto had stop making faces and had fallen on the ground laughing hysterically.
Jiraiya stares at the boy in wonder , taking note of the changes that Naruto had undergone. he pulled Kurama aside and asked him what happend to Naruto.
Kurama explained what happend two weeks ago about Naruto gaining Kyuubi's power and Knowledge while Kyuubi itself was absorbed into the seal. "Kyuubi's spirit was finally set free and returned to MaKai" Kurama explained to a nodding Jiraiya.
"Oi Naruto!" Jiraiya yelled trying to get the boy;s attention. Naruto turned around and his face lit up in excitement.
:"Ero-Sennin!! Your back!!!" Naruto yelled loudly as if he wasn't in a comatose state for two weeks.
"Looking good Brat" Jiraiya said as he looked at Naruto from head to foot. Naruto just gave Jiraiya a foxy grin which turned to a large smile. Naruto's smile made him show off his fangs.
"Well Naruto i hope your in for more training." Jiraiya said as he motioned for Naruto to step outside. "Because I brought someone here for you to meet." Jiraiya continued gesturing for the two Hooded cloaked figures to introduce themselves.
Naruto peered at the two figures as they removed their hoods. One was a woman with blonde hair like him but she didn't have blue eyes like him. She was clad in red armor that showed off too much cleavage. This made Jiraiya blush with a perverted grin on his face. Naruto shook his head and turned his attention towards the other one. The other was a boy with hazel brown colored hair. The boy was clad in black armor.
"Naruto meet your aunt Ella Ragu of the Shadow Skill and your uncle Gau Ban the Black Howling" Jiraiya said while looking at Naruto.
Naruto just stared at them at first then as if snapping out of his thoughts. Naruto held out his hand and said "Hi Uzumaki Naruto The future Hokage of Konoha." He gave them a foxy grin while Jiraiya sweatdropped at his apprentice words.
They took a day to rest before once again leaving. Naruto would be travelling to the country of his aunt and uncle Kuruda. Jiraiya would also come along so he could teach Naruto his bloodline limit from his father's side that is.
A tearful farewell happened at sunrise as Naruto bid good bye to his senseis. To his surprise Naruto recieved parting gifts from his teachers. Hiei had given him a Katana and a set of new clothes much like his own. Yusuke had used Rei-Kou Gyoku and gave Naruto the final technique of the Spirit Light Wave Style. Kurama had given him scrolls containing some techniques for Naruto to learn which included a summong contract with Foxes. Kuwabara gave Naruto two scrolls which contained all of his techniques plus 2 boxes of instant ramen. Naruto was really happy about that particular gift. Genkai had given Naruto a book on all sorts of styles and techniques.
So after a year of training with the Rei Kai Tentei Naruto sets out with Jiraiya along with his two relatives towards Kuruda for the next part of his training.
3 more years until Naruto goes back to Konohagakure no Sato. where Everybody feels there is something missing in their lives.
