Next Day
' Wake up Kit!' Kyuubi growled. Naruto woke up with a start.
' It's only five a.m.! Why do I need to wake up so early?' he asked, annoyed. Kyuubi snickered.
' This is the first day of your training. I want you to run five laps around Konoha, once your done, one hundred sit ups, push ups, punch a log five hundred times, kick it five hundred times, after that, you can eat some lunch. You have to keep your weights on at all times.' At this, Naruto's eyes widened.
' What! I can't do that much! I'll die if I do that!' Kyuubi then became impatient.
' If you don't do that, I won't teach you. Now no more complaints and I might teach you a jutsu.' Naruto then grumbled and set off to do his work.
----------------------------------------------
Five Hours Later
Naruto finally finished his morning exercise and was now trying to eat some lunch. Kyuubi told him that he couldn't eat ramen everyday so he had to eat some fruit. After he was done with his lunch, he had to do every thing over again without complaining. He finally finished every thing he was told to do. When he finished, it was about three-thirty. The fox then told Naruto to that he was going to teach him a jutsu of his own. The boy then started to do the hand seals that Kyuubi told him to perform and yelled, " Katon, Hauringu Kaji!(1)" he then shot a fox of fire from his mouth and it charged toward a rock. Naruto was suprised when the rock didn't blow up, but melted. Naruto jumped up anddown and was saying " I did it! I did it!" over and over when Kyuubihad had enough.
' Kit, you have just learned a low-level demon jutsu. Don't get cocky.'
' Ok, but will I learn new ones later?' he asked. The fox just smiled and said, ' perfect thisone first, then I might give you another one.' Naruto nodded and started the jutsu again. He repeated this for about two hours when he figured out that if he put enough chakra, he would be able to control which way it goes, meaning he could turn it during flight. Five hours later, Naruto was finished working and was able to choot the fox for a hundred metres. He then thought it was a good time for dinner. This process went onfor the rest of the week.

The Next Week
Naruto woke up early this morning. He had to train early this morning because he had to get his weapons at Tenten's shop. Five hours later, it was nine o'clock when Naruto finished. He quickly took a shower and was on his way. When he got there, he saw Tenten and her dad sitting behind the counter, waiting for him, he guessed. When the two saw that he had entered, Tenten's father smiled and told Tenten to get his items. Tenten nodded and went to the back to get it. Tenten's dad finally said to Naruto, " ah, Naruto, is it? Well, the cost of your items with the gauntlet, the sword, and the customizing on it, it will cost about, lets see," he paused and put the amounts into the register.
" Ah, here it is, put together, it will cost 30,000 Yen." the man finished. Naruto was shocked at the price but Kyuubi then spoke to him.
' Kit, do these hand seals and then reach into your pocket.' it said. Naruto just nodded and started to perform it. He then spoke the jutsu.
" Hidden Pocket Laire" he then put his hand into his pocket, and was shocked when he found money. About 1,000,000 Yen to be exact. He then payed when Tenten came out with some difficulty, with his sword and gauntlet. Naruto thanked them both and left to go find someone who could teach him to wield his sword. He then thought he should ask the Hokage if he knew anyone who could teach him. He then went to the Hokage Office.
-----------------------------------------------------
In The Hokage Office
The Sandaime was currently working on the mountains of paperwork in his office when an orange blur came into his office by his window. ( Naruto isn't gonna wear his new clothes until the exams) He was suprised when he saw the items in his hands. Naruto had a black claw gauntlet on his right arm, and a huge sword strapped to his back. Naruto smiled at seeing his suprise.
" Hey, Geezer! Do you know anyone that can teach me to wield a sword? I need to learn before the exams." The Sandaime smiled when he heard what Naruto asked, he then replied, " Well, Naruto, there are two people that I can ask to help you practice your sword. Let me get my guards to get them." After about ten minutes, the two guards returned with the sickly looking announcer from the preliminations. And a suprise to him, Tenten's father. The Sandaime then said, " Naruto, these people are Gekkou Hayate, and Aragane Kizu, the best swordsmans we have." Naruto smiled at the both of them and said, " Hello Gekkou-san, it's nice to see you again Aragane-san" The Third was curios at how Naruto knew Kizu. He then voiced his thoughts.
" Naruto, how do you know Kizu-san?" the boy just smirked and said. " He is the ones that made these for me," he said, pointing to his weapons. The Sandaime just nodded his head in understanding. He then turned to the two in front of him. " Hayate-san, Kizu-san, would the both of you mind teaching Naruto how to use his sword?" The two looked at Naruto and smiled at him. Hayate was the first to speak. " Hokage-sama, I would be honored to teach Naruto my style." He was followed by Kizu, " Hokage-sama, I too would be honored to teach the 'true hero' of Konoha my style." Naruto was suprised, here infront of him were two people that knew of his demon, and they still want to teach him. Naruto couldn't stand it anymore and asked.
" Kizu-san, Hayate-san, why would you help me if you know what's inside me? Don't you think I'm the demon?" Kizu and Hayate were suprised that he had known of the Kyuubi. They both asked how he knew and he answered the Mizuki had told him.
They both smiled at him and said, " Naruto, we do not see you as a demon, but when we finish your training, I would like to ask you to dawn the title, Demon of the Swirling Leaves." Naruto nodded happily and Kizu said, " Ok, Naruto, today, you are to cut a tree five hundred time, two hundred and fifty vertically, two hundred and fifty horizontally. Oh, and no chakra. After you are done, I'll teach you a kata you will have to memerize." With all of the training he had with Kyuubi, and all of the training he had with Hayate and Kizu, by the time he was done, he was exausted.
