Suki stretched her arms as she let out a yawn. As she rolled over, Suki noticed the bed was empty. "Where the hell did he go?" Suki quietly asked herself as she stood up and exied the bed. She proceeded down stairs and saw a note on the kitchen able.
"Good morning, my love. I had to handle some errands. I'll be back later. Try mastering the Grand Fireball with only the need to use only the tiger seal." Suki read. She sighed and went backstairs to get changed. When the female Uchiha finished getting ready, she went outside and began training.
"Tiger, Monkey, Boar, Horse, Tiger. Fire Release - Grand Fireball Jutsu!" Suki shouted as a massive ball of fire was released from her mouth. The multiple training dummies in the training ground were burnt to ashes. Suki let out a massive breath as she dropped down to a single need.
"Man, I need to build my reserves up. This fire release jutsu takes up too much of my chakra. I need to not only build up my reserves, but to also reduce the amount of chakra I'm using." Suki thought as she resumed her training.
With Naruto
"Come on, I thought on sight was someone to be scared of." said the voice of a man with long white hair.
Naruto dropped to a single knee as he tried to catch his breath. "Damn, pervy sage. You're truly one of the sannin." Naruto said as he smirked at the Toad Sage.
"Of course. How else do you think the Fourth Hokage became so strong? Now, let's go again. This time, try to punch me in the face." Jiraiya said as he assumed the Toad Style taijutsu stance.
Naruto nodded and took the same stance that was slightly bastardized. Naruto charged at his new sensei and as he went to deliver a fist to his face, Jiraiya swipped his fist away and pulled his knee up and connected with Naruto's gut.
The blond was sent back, though he continued a back roll and charged back at the Toad Sage. Jiraiya smirked and when Naruto appeared behind the sannin, the blond was pierced across his entire body from the sharp needles that came from his hair.
What the hell? I thought this was a taijutsu only spar?" Naruto asked as the blood was leaking from his body.
"Make sure your opponents agree to the rules before you engage in battle." Jiraiya said in a mocking tone.
With Rock Lee
Lee was currently walking around the entire village. His leg weights were doubled and he was on his hands. "If I can't do five hundred laps around the village on my hands with these added weights, then it's ten thousand squats." Lee told himself.
"That's right, Lee! Let your flames of youth explode!" Guy shouted as he was doing the same as his student.
While they received many looks from the villagers of Konoha, nobody could deny the fact that the two green suited knuckleheads were powerful.
Uchiha Compound
Night time came around. Suki's entire body was covered in bruises from the constant strain and and use of mastering the grand fireball jutsu. As she drug herself into the house, Suki was met with the sight of a beated, broken, and slaughtered Naruto.
"God damn, Naruto. What the hell happened?" asked Suki.
"If a Sannin ever agrees to help you train, run the other way. I asked for a little bit of help on my taijutsu. Here I am, looking like I just fought in the fourth great shinobi world war." Naruto said.
Suki chuckled as she walked over to the first aid cabinet. As she searched through the stuff, Naruto noticed a blush on her face. Naruto sighed. "What's got you blushing?" Naruto asked.
Suki grabbed the items she needed and walked over to her blond haired boyfriend. "You know, seeing you all messed up. It's kind of cute." Suki said as she started applying the medical treatment.
"How was your training?" Naruto asked as he winced from the burning sensation from the alcohol being placed on his wounds.
"It's going. I have been focusing on getting better at my chakra control along with reducing the chakra needed for my Grand fireball." Suki said.
"You know, I'm surprised neither of you asked me to train you." said the voice of Kakashi who was leaning against the fridge while reading his favorite book. Both Naruto and Suki looked up and were shocked to see their jonin sensei.
"Well, Jiraiya has agreed to train me and sense he was my father's sensei, I figured, why not." Naruto said. Kakashi then looked over at Suki.
"You know, Suki. I could help you out against your match against the Sunagakure ninja." Kakashi said lazily.
"Really? You can help me further strengthen my fire release?" asked Suki.
"Well, yeah. But I can also help you develop an entirely new style. A style that hasn't been seen in many years." Kakashi said.
"Okay, when do we start?" Suki asked.
"Tomorrow morning, meet me at the Hatake compound at four am." Kakashi said before he vanished in a shunshin.
"What? There is no Hatake compound." Suki said.
"Actually, their is. It's a small location. Not far from the hokage's tower. You see, it was just Kakashi and his dad. I don't know too much since their weren't too many details on his file. But I do know that Kakashi's pops was one of the baddest shinobi I've ever read." Naruto said.
"What happened to him? How come I haven't heard of him?" asked Suki.
Naruto sighed. "Sakumo Hatake, known as Konoha's White Fang. He was said to have been able to defeat the three legendary sannin by himself." Naruto declared.
"Whoa... To be able to take those guys out... It's scary to think of a person with that much power." Suki said.
"Yeah. It even gives me the chills." Naruto said.
"But why haven't I heard about him?" Suki asked.
"You see... Years ago, not only after Kakashi was born. Sakumo was sent on a mission. I don't know what the mission was. But it seems that a situation occured. It required him to make a choice. Go throw with the mission and sacrifice his friends, or abandon the mission to save his teammates. He chose the ladder. When he returned, he became the outcast of the village. The hatred was too much and so, he took his own life." Naruto said.
Both Naruto and Suki remained silent for a few moments. "Sakumo became like me. Hated for something. While, he could have made the choice... He did the only thing that's reasonable. Remember, Suki. Those that break the rules are trash. Those that abandon their friends and teammates, are worse than trash." Naruto said.
Suki nodded. "What do you think? Do you think it's worth it?" asked Suki.
Naruto gave Suki a deadpan look. "Suki, I may be trained by the man who taught the fourth hokage. You're being trained by the student of him, along with the son of the man who could take down each of the sannin. Not to mention, one of the most famous and powerful shinobi are agreeing the train you. This won't be like him training us. Honestly, I'm kind of scared for you, my love." Naruto said as he gave Suki a soft kiss on her cheek.
Hatake Compound
The next morning came around and after she gave Naruto a soft kiss on the cheek while he was asleep, she proceeded the Hatake compound. Like Naruto said, it was small but when she was brought inside by Kakashi, she couldn't believe the size of it.
"Alright, Suki. Are you ready to begin?" Kakashi asked. Suki gave a determined as she was ready to take on anything her sensei threw at her. "Good. I'm going to teach you the art of the white fang. I've seen your body structure and while you have a powerful fire affinity, you also have a strong lightning affinity. We're going to work on your speed, strength, taijutsu, ninjutsu, kenjutsu, and if we have time, genjutsu. I'm planning on turning you into a shinobi that could rival Naruto." Kakashi said.
Suki's eyes went wide. "Are you serious? With this training, I can surpass Naruto in only a month?" Suki asked in disbelief.
"Well, you'll have some new tricks. While I won't deny it, Naruto is a prodigy among prodigies. He also works himself into the ground. However, this style is going to help you deal with threats that are above your level. Having the sharingan means you'll have even more potential than my father, Konoha's white fang. Now, let's begin." Kakashi with a single eye smile.
With Naruto
Naruto and Jiraiya continued their sparring sessions. Even though Naruto was powerful, to fight the toad sage in a restrictive battle while his opponent has no such, limitations, he was struggiling greatly. Day after day, Naruto's body was broken and nearly destroyed. Had it not been for his Uzumaki blood and the Kyuubi that he was still unaware of, he would have been long dead.
"You're getting better. However, I think it's about time I teach you a new jutsu. Unlike your others, this one will be your trump card and as of right now, I'm making it a forbidden jutsu. You will only use this jutsu as a last resort and not on an ally." Jiraiya spoke up.
"But, how is it going to help me in the chunin exams? The matches are me and Lee, Suki and Temari, Gaara and Dosu, and Zaku and Shikamaru." Naruto said with annoyance.
"I guess you do have a point. Okay, I'm going to teach you two jutsu. One will be used as a trump card that shouldn't cause any perament harm. Especially if you'll be going up against the inner gates. The jutsu is called, Wood Release - Wood Golem. Unlike traditional summons, this is a summoned base on your ability to produce and create a wooden shape." Jiraiya explained.
"Oh, wow! Okay, show me, show me!" Naruto said with excitement in his eyes.
"Slow down, Gaki. I need to teach you about shape manipulation." Jiraiya said.
Naruto started lasughing as he created his Swit Release - Flashing Sphere. Do you mean like this?" Naruto asked.
Jiraiya was in shock. "Gaki, that's extremly advanced. who the hell taught you that?" Jiraiya asked.
"Oh this? Nobody. I was training one day and I came up with a good offensive jutsu." Naruto explained.
"Well, I guess you're ready to learn the basics. The hand seals or this jutsu are Ox, Horse, Boar, and Snake. You'll then start pushing chakra into the ground. Remember, the more chakra you use, the stronger and more power the golem will become." Jiraiya explained.
For the next few hours, Naruto practiced the jutsu and while at first, he created golem's the size of an action figure, Jiraiya realized that Naruto was holding back. "Naruto, go ahead and unleash as much chakra you can into the jutsu." The Toad sage ordered.
"Huh? Why? Wouldn't that be wasting chakra?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow.
"This jutsu is kind of different. I wasnt to also check something." Jiraiya said.
Naruto nodded as he went through the hand seals. "Wood Release - Wooden Golem Jutsu!" Naruto shouted and to the toad sage's horror, three golems stood before him. "Whoah, I didn't know I could make this many with this jutsu." Naruto said as he laughed sheepishly.
"Gaki! You not only created three golems, each of them are just asd powerful as Gamabunta! This is excellent." Jiraiya said. "Okay, do you remember the fight between Kankuro and Shino?" asked Jiraiya.
Naruto nodded. "Yeah, Kankuro was using his puppets while Shino was using his bugs." Naruto said.
"That's right. The wood golem works very similar. However, the golems are much more different than either a puppet or the bugs. Your mind will be linked to them. Consider it mixing Kankuro's control of the puppets along with Shino's ability to manipulate the insects. Also, consider the golem to be similar to Akamaru. In other words, you and the golem are similar to your shadow clones except with a massive power creep." Jiraiya explained.
"In other words, you're saying that my jutsu will trump the rest of the participants?" Naruto asked.
"That's right. However, there is a down side to this jutsu. Whatever damage they take, you'll feel. But, you should be fine. Now, let's talk about your true, trump card." Jiraiya said.
"My true trump card?" Naruto asked.
"Yes. Because of your massive chakra reserves, this jutsu will be perfect for you. It's called the Wood Release - Deep Forest Creation. This was the first hokage's signature jutsu." Jiraiya pointed out.
"Then why can't it be mine?" Naruto asked.
"Well, the first hokage had excellent chakra control. He also fought with Madara Uchiha on a regular basis. He wouldn't use his ultimate jutsu when training with his fellow leaf shinobi. Now, come on. We're going to spend a week outside of the village so we can practice your jutsu without anyone noticing or seeing what you can do. Then we'll spend the last week, sharpening a few of your other skills." Jiraiya said with a smirk.
"Sound good, Pervy Sage. Let's go." Naruto said.
With Suki
Suki had encountered death on a few occasions. The idea of getting killed before she avenged her clan, it scared her. This was one of those moments that nothing mattered, not even her revenge. Suki was currently facing off with Kakashi and she learned exactly why he's feared across the nations.
"I think you're making excellent progress. Naruto is going to be impressed." Kakashi said with his one eye smile.
"Damn, Kakashi sensei. I never knew you could be so cruel." Suki spat.
This made the mask wearing jonin chuckle. "You'll be thankful when the exams come. Anyway, you'll most likely be facing Naruto in the semi final round. Either that, or you'll be facing Gaara." Kakashi said.
"What do you mean? Wouldn't I face Lee?" asked Suki.
"Well, if Lee wants any chance at all to defeat Naruto, he'll need to use as many gates as he can. Even if he does win, he won't be in any condition to fight you. Even Naruto may have trouble because of who his opponent is." Kakashi explained.
"I see... Well, let's get back to it." Suki said with both determination and conviction in her voice.
With Naruto
"Pervy Sage, are you sure this is an okay jutsu to teach me?" Naruto asked as he saw the results of his training.
"Of course. That's why I told you it's a forbidden jutsu when nothing else is working. Plus, you aren't going to be using it on any fellow leaf shinobi." Jiraiya explained.
"Still, I kinda feel like I can't be defeated." Naruto said with a smirk.
"Don't get cocky. I've met plenty of powerful shinobi in my life. Many of them had fallen to those far weaker. You must always stay modest and have both honor and respect. That's the way of the toads. Your father was like that." Jiraiya said as he ruffled the blond's hair.
"Well, pervy sage. Come on, let's go back. I want to sharpen a few of my skills along with having the proper rest. I'll be fighting Lee, then Suki, and most likely, I'll fight Gaara." Naruto said.
"That's right. Alright, let's go." Jiraiya said.
The two proceeded back to the village. Naruto remained in thought at his two new jutsu and the destructive power of them. While he was a loyal shinobi of Konoha, parts of him scratched the surface of a thought on vengence. He would quickly push those thoughts away.
