A/N: Yo, I woke up this morning and found out that I am a WAS abuser. It's going to be hard to stop, but I'll try my best.
I might discontinue the romance part of my fic, I might not, tell me what you think of how it's going on.
A person asked me in a review about what Naruto would do if Sasuke would leave to join Orochimaru, because it wouldn't be as dramatic. Naruto would do what Naruto does best, frown and shake his head, and then beat the living crap out of Sasuke. :D
Here we go again folks; I like to call this chapter "The Grand Scheme of things."
Current beta readers who like to kick me in my ass to motivate me:
Moonraker one
So I present to you chapter 3
Chapter 3
Naruto woke up and immediately shot up when he finally realized where he was. Sighing he followed the rusty sewer way to a gigantic room. The room was quite clean compared to the pipes that lead to it, the only thing that made Naruto cringe was the horrid stench of the fox. Knowing that he was summoned here by the fox, Naruto approached the cage.
The cage is currently the home of a certain 9 tailed furry fox that Naruto is quite afraid of; knowing full well that the fox wanted to speak with him, Naruto walked up to the cage. Seeing a big figure in the darkness of the cage, Naruto awaited patiently for the fox to show himself.
Kyuubi strode to the front, seeing the blonde boy the fox snorted before getting to the point. Naruto was quite nervous seeing the fox, the last time he had met the fox he had his grandfather to hide behind, this time he would have to face the gigantic fox alone. Letting out a growl to clear his throat the Kyuubi said "It seems human, that your clansmen want to speak with you."
Naruto was quite skeptical, his grandfather always made the point that when he died Naruto would be the last Uzumaki. Naruto held out hope, that maybe there could be another Uzumaki out there. Replying cautiously Naruto said "I thought I was the last one alive?"
The fox replied, "Who said they were living"
Naruto's attention shifted to the eyes of the fox, being drawn in, Naruto looked deep into the fox's eyes. Naruto's world darkened and he soon found himself in a dark room with two glowing orbs that were previously the eyes of the Kitsune, the orbs stayed afloat before splitting into 8 different forms. As the forms touched the ground a great glow appeared and Naruto shielded his eyes.
Naruto opened his eyes as he saw 8 figures dressed in black kimonos with a black hakama, they wore a white undershirt underneath the kimono, and they all wore a white haori. Naruto noticed that all of them dressed in the exact same way his grandfather used to dress in, all 8 men sat behind a giant table that was draped in a white cloth. The 8 figures also sat in large chairs, the back of the chairs rose above all their heads and each held a number.
Scanning the faces of all the men, Naruto recognized a younger version of his Grandfather in the 8th seat. Naruto still felt quite confused standing in front of these men who scrutinized him, but was comforted seeing at least one familiar face among the council of men whom he was quite scared of.
He focused his attention on the man with the number 4 when that man stood up and addressed him.
The 4th said, "Uzumaki Naruto, current clan head of the Uzumaki Clan, we are pleased that you have decided to join us. Let us introduce ourselves; we are the Uzumaki Council, deceased clan heads that have obtained the Uzumaki's greatest technique."
Naruto was quite confused, but still muttered out, "How are you talking to me? Aren't you all dead?"
The 4th sat down when the 6th spoke, "We come before you today by the powers of the 9 tailed beasts, they have asked us to warn you about some "interesting" things. Our spirits can be called upon through the powers of a tailed beast."
"The tailed beasts are not regular demons; they are here to protect this world. The tailed beasts are on our side, not the enemies."
The 3rd then added, "We are here to give you some information on the man who has killed your clan. We think we have found out his true intentions, why he killed off everyone except for you."
The 3rd continued and said, "Naruto, do you know what our bloodline power is? I am sure you have heard from your grandfather that all Uzumaki's inherit it."
Naruto nodded and said, "I have heard that I have a bloodline, but nothing has been said past that point."
The 4th added in, "Naruto, have you ever wondered why communicating to the Kyuubi was so easy and casual for you? Every member of the Uzumaki Clan is born with this ability; we received this ability over 5,000 years ago."
"5,000 years ago, when the first Uzumaki's were around a terrible war started. A powerful Demonic Lord found a way to enter into our world; he brought with him an evil army. The Humans banded together with the tailed beasts and we were able to send him back to whence he came. Due to our ancestor's great courage in battle the tailed beasts blessed our family with a gift, every Uzumaki from then onward would be able to talk to demons. The tailed beasts gave us this gift so we can easily patrol the Western borders, we were given the task of making sure nothing like that ever happened again."
"As the years grew our powers evolved and we can now read, and even write in demonic languages. Although they are gone, they left their demonic books with them and a lot of these books contain dark magic. As a safety precaution, all demonic books found by us were destroyed; however we believe that this man has found a rather powerful spell. It is rumored that they even left a way to open a portal to the demon world…"
The 1st spoke up, "We believe he wants to take possession of your body to, eventually, reopen the portal to the demon world. This man has a greed for power, and through his greed he'll even endanger the world for it. If he were to take your body, he'll have the powers of Kyuubi; with this power he'll challenge the Demonic Lord. It is impossible, for the Kyuubi has his limits. If this portal opens there shall only be doom for mankind."
The 2nd then said, "That is why we have brought you here Naruto, as the last Uzumaki alive; we want you to continue our duty to the world as the guardians of the demon portals."
Naruto's grandfather, the 8th said "Naruto, I have trained you in the ways of the Uzumaki; you are quite capable of being strong. It is your lack of understanding of the Uzumaki that is holding you back, our clan believes in building our own strength. The reason why you are weak is because you think people will hand you power, but a true Uzumaki shall create his own. We may teach you the basics of our fighting style, but you must create everything else, we will not give it to you."
Naruto understood why his grandfather was saying this; he knew absolutely no ninjutsu except for the basics. He didn't even know how to work a genjutsu and his taijutsu was all taught by his family, and even then it was merely the basics. Naruto definitely needs to start training or his future will be quite painful.
Sajin continued, "It is only out of the extremity of the situation that we the council have decided to tell you this, the scroll I gave you is not the real Ultimate technique of the Uzumaki, and it is merely the 1st stage of it. When you get back home, read it and follow it's instructions, seeing as how you have time now we want you to take a hand in creating your own jutsu's. If you need help, ask the Kyuubi for tips. Do not break the Uzumaki way and ask him to teach you a technique."
The 4th then said, "We need you to become strong Naruto, dark times are coming ahead and I do not wish for 500 generations of Uzumaki's to all go to waste. After you have learned the technique in that scroll, we shall put you through a trial. If you fail then you shall die, but if you pass then you shall gain what 8 clan heads have out of 500."
Sajin then added, "Remember Naruto, if the time came and you had a choice between saving the world and keeping my promise. Remember that EVERY Uzumaki will support you breaking my promise, our duty is much more important then our existence."
Sajin then said, "That is all my grandson, be brave, even if these burdens are on you. I truly believe that you can accomplish all of them."
With that said the council dispersed leaving a stunned Naruto in front of the Kyuubi, Naruto tried to process EVERYTHING the council had just said. He felt quite dizzy as he tried to recall everything, Naruto thought that his grandfather's promise was quite difficult to achieve. Now that he even had more on his shoulders Naruto suddenly felt like his shoulders and legs might not be strong enough to hold all of these things.
Gripping his hands together he muttered under his breath "How can I live up to all the things that were put on me? How do I become so strong to defeat a man who has killed my entire clan without blinking an eye?"
Naruto sobbed as reality hit him, painfully in the face I might add. Feeling quite insecure about himself, did the typical thing a 12 year old would do in this situation. He cried and cried until he was waterlogged.
He heard the fox growl, Naruto looked up to fox as it said "Through hard work and fierce determination, that is the path you must follow to become strong. Sitting here crying about it will not make it go away pathetic human."
Feeling quite ashamed of himself, Naruto wiped away his tears and straightened himself out. Naruto felt better after his little bawling session, he felt determination rise inside himself.
Looking straight into the eyes of the fox Naruto said "You are right fur ball, I have work to do."
The fox growled and said "Wake up."
Naruto slowly opened his eyes; he was in a futon in a room he has never seen before. He blinked before his memories came back to greet him, he had freed his sensei from that strange Nin, but he had used too much of his chakra.
He heard a voice grumble and a "troublesome" before looking over to where his team mates sat. They were playing shogi and from the look of things his female team mate was losing.
He politely coughed to get their attention, his female team mate just noticing that he regained consciousness told the other boy to go fetch their sensei.
Ino crawled over to Naruto and said "So you're finally awake? Gees you were out all of yesterday and today! You really shouldn't make your beautiful and smart team mate worry Naruto."
Naruto chuckled and said, "I have no worries then, there is no such person with those two attributes on my team."
Ino slapped him on the back of the head before smiling, she then said "Thanks Naruto, if you weren't there, I think things would have have turned out pretty ugly."
Naruto rubbed his head and said "Someone's is going to have to make up for Shikamaru's laziness."
Ino gave a small laugh; she then frowned and said "I feel so weak… In the end I wasn't able to do anything at all, the only thing I did was sit back while you two freed sensei."
Naruto replied "I think you are too unfocused… It seems like being a ninja isn't your top priority right now, I suggest you reorganize your priorities. If you truly want to become a strong kunoichi, then you need to work hard."
Before Naruto could even finish he found himself lying on the floor seeing stars, Naruto made the mistake of telling the ugly truth to the spiteful blonde angel named Yamanka Ino.
Feeling himself being grabbed by the collar as the blonde girl brought her face to his, he cringed as her voice rang in his ears "I didn't ask for an opinion on WHY I am weak! I surely HOPE you have learned your lesson, dear beloved team mate, I do wish I don't have to punish you again."
A terrified Naruto feigned a smile, nodding his head quickly, Naruto tried to calm the demon that was once his pretty team mate down. Before anything else happened they both heard Asuma's voice, he said "I agree with Naruto, and can you please drop the poor boy?"
Ino flashed a glare at her sensei before backing away from Naruto. Asuma entered the room and checked on Naruto, since all his injuries had healed, Asuma filled Naruto in on what he missed the past few days.
He had been out since they arrived here; while he was out the other two were busy trying to catch up to him by doing tree climbing exercises. Since Shikamaru was a genius and Ino was a natural, they both easily mastered the basic genin exercise and were now working on water walking.
Naruto requested to have some time alone to do some training; Asuma allowed it and told him that he could do some separate training if he felt he needed to. With everything said and done, Asuma left before telling him to come eat dinner in a few minutes.
After dinner, Naruto wanted to get some fresh air so he sat on the roof admiring the stars. That was when his team mate approached him.
Ino sat next to him and said "Gomen Naruto, I don't want to disturb you, but I have something to tell you."
Naruto looked over to her and nodded, telling her that he was listening, she then began to confess something.
Ino said "Do you remember when you came into my family's shop to buy some flowers? I was quite curious when you told me those were for your parents and when you left I followed you… I really am sorry, and I promise to never do anything like that to you again. I know it must have been pretty personal…"
Naruto thought about this for a moment before saying "As long as you are sorry and promise to never do things like that again, then I forgive you. Although I'm glad at least another person knows."
Ino smiled, she was glad that her team mate forgave her, and she felt horrible knowing that she invaded his privacy.
They both say there awhile talking quietly about nothing important before Ino decided to go to sleep, she scolded him for keeping her up this late before she left.
Ino then had a thought that she felt was quite strange for a person that was a member of the Sasuke fan club; she kept thinking "Why couldn't Sasuke be more like Naruto?"
A/N: In related news hell froze over today
Naruto awoke bright and early the next morning; he ate breakfast and quickly went off into the woods to train. Finding a nice open clearing, he then proceeded to try and create his own technique.
3 hours later.
Naruto was completely stumped, all attempts of making a "super cool awesome technique" failed miserably. So he did the only thing he could, he sat down and began to think, he remembered his Grandfather telling him about asking Kyuubi for tips.
He never really knew how to contact the Kyuubi, so while he pondered this he heard a familiar voice in his head.
The fox said "What do you want; I was having such a nice nap."
Naruto spoke out loud "How are you in my head? And why didn't you do this before?"
The fox replied "Quiet down brat, you wouldn't want people to think you were crazy now would you? Just say what you want in your mind and I'll be able to hear it. Anyways I am the Great Kyuubi; this is mere child's play to me. Also because you didn't ask me to."
Naruto frowned and spoke in his mind "Whatever, I need your help with a jutsu fox. I have no idea what I'm doing; my Grandfather said you could give me tips."
The fox said "Alright kid, what kind of jutsu are we talking about? Fire, water, wind, earth, or lightning?"
Naruto replied "I don't know… I'm just looking for a jutsu to compliment my fighting style, I think I need a jutsu that I can shoot and cause a lot of destruction to confuse my enemies."
The fox said "Elemental jutsu's can do that, but all of those are pretty high level that you probably can't do yet. So I suggest you do something with manipulating raw chakra, since you have a lot, to a physical form. Try molding chakra into various tenketsu's on your hand and experiment."
Naruto then proceeded to mold chakra into his hand; he decided to mold it into his fingertips. He then released, the chakra came out of the tenketsu points, but the chakra shot out like a geyser. He was trying to make a move that he could shoot out like a bullet.
The fox said "As you can see molding chakra into your hands and releasing it only does that, try making the chakra into a shape."
Naruto molded chakra into his index finger; he decided to manipulate the chakra into a circle shape. When he released the chakra it shot out of his hand, but instead of going straight it shot out randomly hitting a tree.
The tree ended up having a hole in it, Naruto examined his handiwork, after the examining it. Naruto concluded that he needed to put more chakra in for power and he needed to improve his precision. The fox told Naruto to be creative before leaving Naruto alone.
Feeling quite curious, Naruto set out to try and find other ways he could add to his technique.
Later that night
Naruto came back to Tazuna's house later that night, he was tired, but he felt proud of himself. He was able to form the balls on each finger tip and his palm, although the chakra balls were still highly inaccurate and did very minimal damage, Naruto was satisfied. He was on his way to mastering it; he already had thought up a name for it, he was going to call it "Spread Shot." (If anyone could translate to Japanese then I shall be very grateful)
After he got back, Naruto cleaned himself up before coming out for dinner again. He noticed a small boy that he didn't meet yesterday, but he paid no mind. Naruto sat across from the boy, but his thoughts were on how to make his jutsu more accurate. The food was brought to the table by Tazuna's daughter, she was named Tsunami, Naruto and his team mates dug into the food.
Half-way through the dinner the boy slammed his hand onto the table, Naruto looked at the boy as he got up and leaned across the table into Naruto's face.
The boy then yelled "WHY ARE YOU EVEN DOING THIS, YOU'RE JUST GOING TO DIE!"
Naruto heard about what happened to Inari's dad through his team mates the day before; he felt pity for the boy. He however felt that Inari was putting his father's name to shame by crying all the time.
Sighing Naruto replied, "Look kid, you're dad was a hero and although he died. I'm sure you miss him greatly, but crying all the time about his death is disrespectful! If you were really his son then you would be brave and stand up to Gato and his men!"
Inari ran out of the room screaming and crying, Naruto felt sorry for the kid, but he wasn't going to baby him. Everybody has to grow up some day, excusing himself from the table he went to his room to get some rest for tomorrow. He heard the others talk about him as he closed his door, clearing his head Naruto changed into his pajamas before finally getting some sleep.
"Uzumaki…. UZUMAKI….. OI, NARUTO GET YOUR ASS UP ALREADY OR YOU'LL MISS BREAKFAST!"
Naruto jumped up from his futon as he heard his female team mate yelling at him, going over what she said again, Naruto suddenly had a great idea. If he made the chakra balls in his hands spin then maybe that will improve his aim and power.
Jumping out of bed he quickly dressed, he ran to Ino, in his excitement he enveloped her in a giant bear hug to thank her for giving him the idea. He left a flustered Ino, a annoyed Shikamaru, and a chuckling Asuma, as he ran out of the door into the forest.
3 Days Later
Naruto had opted to stay out in the forest for the past 3 days; he slept on the ground and occasionally came back for food. Although he had most of the jutsu down, he still needed to test it out in combat before adding it into his style.
Deciding to return to the comfort of a bed and cleaner clothes, Naruto returned back to Tazuna's house. Since Naruto was gone for so long, Asuma told Naruto to guard the house while he and Naruto's team mates went to the bridge to guard Tazuna there. Naruto had also learned that Ino and Shikamaru improved a lot of the past few days.
After everyone left, Naruto simply went to his room. He took out his Katana from his backpack, what Naruto was training was his ninjutsu, he didn't really need his sword so he left it at home. He strapped the Katana on his back; suddenly a woman's scream rang through the house. The enemy must have waited until his team left to strike.
Naruto leapt into action, he jumped out of the window and climbed to the roof. He then saw two men drag a very frightened Tsunami from the house, a very water logged Inari came out and yelled at them. Knowing that the boy was probably going to die Naruto jumped off the roof to land in front of the boy.
The two men smirked as they looked at him; they smacked Tsunami across the face and threw her to the ground. They then drew their swords; Naruto knew these guys were amateurs from their movement. He quickly jumped over both of them; he drew his sword and slashed across them across their chest. Blood seeped out of the wounds as they fell into the water.
Naruto then went over to a sobbing Inari, he grabbed the boy; he then dragged the boy over to his mother. He told Inari to take care of his mother, because he was going to go die now. Naruto then ran towards the bridge, he knew his team mates were going to need his help if they were also attacked.
As he leapt away from Inari and his mother he heard Inari yell something, Naruto ignored it and continued on to the bridge.
As Naruto got close to the bridge he decided to approach the bridge cautiously, when he got to a good spot to overlook the entire bridge he saw 5 figures engaged in combat. Ino was currently guarding Tazuna as Shikamaru was desperately holding off the person who tricked them when they first met. Asuma was also going toe to toe with the ninja who escaped them in a contest over who was better at using their weapon.
Seeing Shikamaru get his butt kicked worried Naruto, although Shikamaru was able to hold off the ninja, he was obviously losing. The lazy ninja fought a masked ninja in a battle of taijutsu, although Shikamaru wasn't very good at fighting hand to hand he tried his best. Shikamaru is a strategic genius; he is better off telling stronger people what to do in a fight then to actually fight.
Shikamaru used a kunai as he defended himself from an extremely fast masked ninja; he desperately tried to come up with a better strategy. Executing the strategy was rather difficult; the ninja left Shikamaru no room to breathe as he was bombarded with attack after attack.
The masked ninja decided to end the battle as he formed multiple mirrors around his opponent, using his advanced bloodline to his advantage, the masked ninja leapt from mirror to mirror bombarding his unlucky opponent with needles.
Naruto decided to leap in when the enemy ninja created multiple mirrors surrounding Shikamaru, getting closer to the action he decided to use his new technique. Creeping along the hand rails of the bridge he slowly molded chakra into his left hand. He signaled Shikamaru to duck, Naruto then formed the chakra into little orbs; he slowly started to spin them.
FLASH BACK
Naruto surveyed the damage he had dealt with his new technique; the tree had shattered in half after being hit by the technique. Naruto smiled as he knew that the spinning of the orbs greatly added precision and power to his technique.
This however added a lot of stress to Naruto's hands, if he wasn't careful then the balls themselves would rip the skin off of his hands.
END FLASH BACK
Charging up his shot, Naruto fired it when he saw Shikamaru dive towards the ground. Six chakra orbs smashed through the mirrors, all of them shattered and the ninja who was in them fell to the ground in a daze.
Seeing his chance Naruto ran towards the fallen ninja, who was under a ton of debris. As the ninja lifted his head to look around his face was met with Naruto's foot. The ninja flew backwards falling on his back; Naruto quickly rushed the ninja again.
The masked ninja was dazed but only through experience quickly recovered, seeing the blonde ninja charge, the masked ninja quickly jumped backwards as a massive kick hit the spot where he had just stood. Using his weight the masked ninja punched Naruto in the face, the ninja stepped back and was about to strike again when his body froze.
Yamanka Ino sighed in relief, her trap had worked. She snuck behind the ninja while he was focused on Naruto and cut some of her hair off, she then spread the hair all over the ground, when he finally stepped back after punching Naruto he was caught in her trap because he stepped on some of the hair. Her trap used her hair and chakra to completely freeze the movements in the enemy's legs.
Ino yelled at Naruto to attack the ninja quickly while he was defenseless in her trap, Naruto heard Ino and quickly rushed the enemy to seize the opportunity. Naruto noticed many bodies on the ground, belonging to the dead workers that were killed, decided that too much blood has been shed today. Instead of drawing his sword from the sheathe, Naruto took the sword out with the sheathe. Swinging the sword in a wide arc, the sword connected with the mask ninja's head. The head of the ninja bucked back violently as he was hit by Naruto.
Noticing that the masked ninja was unconscious, Naruto looked over to where his sensei was fighting. Both men had numerous small injuries on them, but the man who had bested their sensei before now had two giant gashes along his arms, Asuma had figured out the Ninja's movement and capitalized on the slow horizontal and vertical slices of the huge sword.
Everyone stopped when they noticed a huge group of thugs, wielding various weapons, emerge from the unfinished side of the bridge. The two former enemies noticing that the large group was for them, quickly allied with each other to defend against the thugs.
Seeing the large group head for their tired out sensei, Naruto, Ino, and Shikamaru charged the thugs head on in an attempt to buy their sensei some time to heal his wounds. Naruto leapt at a small group of thugs who had decided to charge the ninja's, wielding his sheathed sword like a club, Naruto turned many conscious and healthy men to unconscious men with concussions.
Ino and Shikamaru used their training and worked as a pair to dispatch many thugs, they defeated many before being cornered. The thugs sneered as they prepared to turn two 12 year olds to kabobs. Their plan was interrupted when an arrow was shot landing between the men and the tired ninja's.
Naruto then heard Inari yell "I told you I wasn't going to be a coward anymore!"
On the other end of the bridge was an army of villagers wielding pitch forks and shovels. The thugs quickly seeing their advantage of numbers crumbling decided to run away, their boss tried to stop them, but was overwhelmed when they all stampeded towards the boat that was behind him.
Gato was captured, and all his money and possessions were given to the villagers. The two ninja's who had been Naruto's enemies, introduced themselves as Zabuza and Haku formerly of the hidden mist. The two missing Nin's left to heal their wounds and find more work, they both praised the genin's for improving so much in just a week before leaving.
After being paid by the villagers using Gato's money, team 8 rested up in Tazuna's house for 2 more days before heading back to the leaf. The villagers gave them a farewell at the newly finished bridge which was later named "The Great Naruto Bridge." When they got back, Asuma announced that the chunin exam was to be held in one month, and that they would only be required to do 1 or 2 D missions a week. The rest of their time would be used for training; all three genins used their time wisely. Naruto focused on the scroll his grand father gave him right when he got back, Shikamaru finally being a little motivated asked his father to teach him new moves, Ino knew she was the weakest person in team 8 trained fiercely with her father to become stronger.
Yamanaka Ino focused on learning genjutsu, she grew strong as she focused on confusing enemies using illusions, she would produce huge monsters to distract opponents as her team dealt with the others.
Shikamaru was drilled by Asuma to learn more taijutsu and he also learned the shadow binding technique that used a hand to slowly crawl up his opponent's body. The hand then grabs a hold of their necks to slowly breaks their necks.
Naruto trained using his scroll, the scroll held 2 stages of the ultimate technique, the first stage Naruto was able to learn, but the 2nd stage was still far above his current ability. The 3rd stage was the final technique that councilmen all reached, Naruto trained greatly to reach that goal.
All three of them became great friends, going out to eat after every training session they had together. Slowly all of them grew into a strong team, Naruto the leader, Shikamaru the tactical genius, and Ino brought a unique flavor to the team.
Naruto currently returning home after a dinner they had decided to have the day before the chunin exam. Naruto's attention was quickly caught when he noticed 8 figure in an alley way, he quickly hid himself as he watched the situation. A little kid was being bullied by a much larger boy who wore make up. A girl with pink hair was desperately trying to stop the make up wearing boy as two smaller children hid behind her.
Another girl who was probably his team mate asked him to stop, but he refused, the boy whose name Naruto remembers as Uchiha Sasuke interfered by throwing rocks at the make up wearing ninja. Everyone was surprised when a red haired ninja with very poor sleeping habits interrupted them.
The sleepy boy ordered his team mates to stop, the Sasuke guy said something and they were about to walk away from each other when Naruto got a good idea. Even though he hated to show off, Naruto knew that if he played mind games with these genin's now. Then he'll have an advantage over them in the exam. Naruto quickly molded some chakra into his feet as he performed the Flash Step technique, he appeared above a small roof crouching down towards the alley way as he said "Can I play hide and seek too?"
Everyone froze when they heard him; he had succeeded in surprising all of them. Looking at their shocked faces Naruto was quite happy; he then noticed a burning glare from the make up wearing ninja.
Naruto decided to anger him more by saying "It seems that amateurs will be entering the chunin exam, it shall be quite a boring test."
Naruto quickly poofed away, when he came home he burst into laughter, he knew what he did was wrong. Finally stopping to catch some air, Naruto quickly scolded himself for picking up some of Ino's bad habits.
Tomorrow would be a big day for the rookie 9.
A/N: So I decided to skip their training now, and just show it in flash backs :P You guys will have to wait to see Naruto's 1st stage.
I guess I need beta readers, if you are good with grammar email me and we'll talk?
Peace
