Watch out Konoha, Naruto is back, and he is meeting his genin team!
A Kitsune's Adventure
As a new day dawn bright over Konoha; Naruto could be seen sleeping in bed curled around Yuki; mumbling "more miso ramen, please!" as Yuki yipped an agreement to Naruto's mumblings.
Yuki unfortunately then rolled over and stretched placing one of his paws directly into Naruto's mouth during Naruto's continues mumblings of ramen. Of course Naruto then proceeded to nip Yuki's paw; awaking Yuki with a startling jump and a yelp of pain. Yuki pulled in his paw that was in pain and licked tentative at it; realized what happen then decided that it was time to awaken Naruto just as rudely as Yuki's awaking.
Yuki with a golden gleam in his eyes prepared to pounces on Naruto exposed stomach, as the soft green colored blanket that was on Naruto slipped off the side of Naruto and onto the floor. Kui hearing the movement in the room stretched from the tip of her nose to the tip of her tail and looked over at the ramen crazed duo. Seeing Yuki's antics; Kui chuckled and waited for the resulting shouts and yells to come.
Just as Naruto rolled over onto his back Yuki pounced and landed directly on Naruto's stomach and barked directly into Naruto's ear "WAKE UP FOR MORNING RAMEN!" Naruto who had just started to mumble "ramen" was cut off in mid "ra-" as his breath was cut off and pushed out of his mouth in a sudden rush of air as his stomach muscles contracted from Yuki's continuation jumping and pouncing on his stomach and barking.
Naruto then sat up abruptly, which caused Yuki to go tumbling off the side of the bed onto the blanket which had fallen onto the floor earlier. Naruto then sucked in a breath of air and proceeded to scream "Yuki" with Kui laughing at their antics in the background.
Kui then gracefully stood up and walked over to Naruto and Yuki who were glaring at each other. "Naruto-sama, I do believe it is time to get up, we have a hour before we need to be at your genin team's training location" barked Kui to Naruto as he grumbled something about withholding Yuki's ramen rights. Yuki was quick to yip "No Way! My Ramen" then Yuki pounced on Naruto to nip at Naruto's fingers.
"Come now Yuki, Naruto-sama let's get some breakfast before we leave for training" barked Kui as she left the bedroom for the living room, with a smirk and mumbling something about "childish kits".
"Do you giving?" Yuki yipped threw his teeth as he snagged the sleeve of Naruto's froggy pajamas and tugged at the sleeve. "Okay, okay! I won't withhold ramen rights" mumbled Naruto then rubbed his head with his offend fingers as he started to take off his pajamas to change into this training clothes once Yuki had released his pajama sleeve.
Naruto then walked into the living room as he finished strapping on his ninja tool pouches, then headed for the kitchen to start breakfast for the group. "Miso ramen sound good Kui, Yuki?" asked Naruto as he started the hot water to boil. "Oh and side of fish" Yuki yipped and leap up at Naruto's leg to verify that his ramen and fish were coming in a timely fashion.
"Yes a bit of fish would be nice this morning" Kui smirked at Yuki's morning energy bursts. "Okay, okay Yuki! A side of fish and miso ramen coming up" Naruto said as he pushed Yuki off his leg and out of the kitchen.
"Where's big brother?" Naruto questioned as he pulled the fish out of the cooler frig and poured the hot water over the ramen noodles to wait the necessary three minutes to finish cooking.
"Oh I heard him come in late this morning. He was stumbling around smelling like saki and mumbling about great research with really red nose and cheeks" snorted Kui. "Ero-sannin" Yuki growled as he rolled his eyes.
"Don't worry Yuki; we'll prank him later; when he lease expects it. It's better to plan these things" snorted Naruto with a gleam in his eyes. "We'll get him good tomorrow; maybe we can hand out a few leaflets or something. "Leaflets, why would we hand out leaflets?" barked Yuki in question, as he slurped up the last of his miso ramen breakfast. Even Kui had a questioned look on her face at the leaflet conversation.
"Well, think about it big brother or our favorite nickname for him of ero-sannin loves to drooling at the bathhouse ladies for research as he calls it for his perverted books. Well what if we draw up some leaflets to pass out and post about the bathhouse to those same bathing ladies about a new local peeping tom in the area. Don't you think that the local ladies, who in this town a little under half of them are kuniochis and will pay that same peeping tom a very high painful price for that same peeping" chuckled Naruto with an evil smirk.
"Oh, let's pass out leaflets then we can't be blamed for his beating then" snorted Yuki in thought of Jiraiya coming trauma at the hands of the local kuniochis.
"Well he can't say that he did not earn it" commented Kui as she tilted her head in amusement of the well thought out plan. So are we ready to head over to the training site now Naruto-sama" Kui yipped as she finished the last of her fish from breakfast and licked her chomps clean.
"Yep, just let me clean up real quick then we can go" Naruto replied as he washed up his breakfast dishes then proceeded to grab and put on his ninja sandals to head out the door for training.
"Now let's go! Last one there is an ero-sannin" shouted Naruto as he dashed out the front door with Yuki and Kui hot on his trail. "Oh no, I'm not going to be an ero-sannin" Yuki growled as he dashed passed Kui to catch up with Naruto.
"Remember we need to go to the red bridge over by the Hokage Monument" barked Kui as the group changed directions to head towards the Hokage Monument.
"I see the bridge" Yuki yipped as he passed up Naruto to land on the bridge first. Yuki then proceeded to jump around barking "I'm not an ero-sannin! I'm not an ero-sannin!" "Aaaa! I'm an ero-sannin!" pouted Naruto as he sat down in a huff because Kui had just beaten Naruto to the bridge. "Not necessary Naruto-sama. Your new genin teammates and your jonin-sensei are not here yet, so technical speaking your not the last one to the bridge for training this morning" Kui growled and barked as she prompted Naruto into a smile. "Oh yeah; I'm not the last one here, so I'm not an ero-sannin. Yippee!" Naruto shouted as he pumped his fist into the air.
"Since we arrived early, what are we going to do now?" questioned Naruto to Kui and Yuki with a questioning tilt of his head in thought. "Well you can always practice your chakra control. We are on a bridge with water running under it" commented Kui as she walked over to the edge of the bridge to look down at the running water. "Yuki, you can also practice this exercise with Naruto-sama" Kui yipped and barked as she leaped gracefully down onto the water.
"Wait for me!" Yuki barked to follow Naruto as he leaped over the bridge railing onto a large boulder at the river's edge to listen to what Kui had to say.
"Now Naruto-sama, as you know the difference from tree climbing or walking and water walking is that the depth and consistent of the water varies with each moment of time. Where the tree has the same consistent at all times, there is no movement of the tree as there is with the flow of water. Since the water is constantly flowing and moving, so you have to constantly change the flux of your chakra energy to stand constantly on the top of the water" Kui lectured as she watched Naruto concentrate to put the correct amount of chakra into his feet to stand on top of the water.
"Yuki you need to not worry about getting your paws wet" Kui growled to Yuki as she watched him try to tip-toe tentatively around the top of the water; rather unsuccessfully as he was sinking into the water with varying steps and varying depths into the water. Thus getting his paws rather wet. "Once you stop worrying about getting wet then you can concentrate on your chakra flow to your feet" Kui growled at Yuki as she gracefully walked on the water around Yuki.
"Once you have standing and walking on water down, then you can do other things on the water to improve your chakra control. You can go skating on top of the water, do hand stands, and other exercises. This will aloud you to get practice at pushing chakra out of different areas of your body" Kui commented then proceeded to skate, twist, and leap on the water top around Naruto and Yuki.
"Cool!" Naruto murmured with his eyes wide open in excitement. "So once I master water walking, I can learn to skate on the water. Neat! I am going to master this today" shouted Naruto with confidence, as he walked slowly around the water and only occasionally sinking up to his ankles.
"Hey! Who are you and what are you doing down there?" a black haired boy growled at the group from the railing of the bridge overhead.
"We're walking on water" Naruto laughed as he shouted backed to the boy. "I'm Naruto, and this is Kui and Yuki" Naruto said as he leaped up to the bridge railing. "Are you Uchiha Sasuke?" asked Naruto as he balanced himself on the railing with Yuki on his left and Kui on his right.
"Yeah" Sasuke growled at Naruto with a frown on his face and his arms crossed. "Why are you here?"
"Were you not told; that I would be joining the team as the third genin?" questioned Naruto as he tilted his head at Sasuke. "No, I have not heard anything about this" growled Sasuke with an intense frown. "Oh, well! I'm Uzumaki Naruto and on my right with the lovely red fur is Kui, and on my left with the handsomely rugged silvery-white coat is Yuki. Kui is an elder spirit kitsune who I will also be taking training with during the next year. Yuki here has been my furry little friend for the past eight years" Naruto stated with a big foxy grin.
"So where is our other teammate? I heard her name was Hinata" asked Naruto as he looked to Sasuke for an answer. "She's over there by the bridge opening" Sasuke gestured over to Hinata's location. As Naruto looked over to Hinata; Hinata was looking down at the ground twisting her fingers around themselves, as she mumbled a greeting.
Suddenly Naruto appeared right next to Hinata looking down at the same ground that she was to see what was so interesting about it. "What are you looking at?" asked Naruto as he tried to identify what Hinata was looking at on the ground. "Noth…Nothing" Hinata stuttered out as she blushed a deep red. "Oh, okay" Naruto said as he looked up at Hinata. "I'm Naruto your new teammate" Naruto said as he put his hand out to shake. "Hi Naru..Naruto. I'm Hyuga Hin..Hinata" Hinata slowly stated as she placed her hand in Naruto to shake and with a little bow of her head.
"I hope that we will be great teammates together and do some hard training too" Naruto said as he pumped Hinata hand with energy and confidences.
"So when does the sensei get here?" Naruto questioned to Hinata and Sasuke as he released Hinata hand and looked over to Sasuke direction. "Doesn't training begin at nine?" asked Naruto to the two genin.
"Yeah, let train, let train!" barked Yuki as he started to run up and down the bridge railing.
Suddenly the two genin froze and looked over to the talking kitsune. "Yo..You talk!" stuttered out Hinata as Sasuke looked shocked at Yuki.
"Yes, spirit kitsunes can talk and communicate with humans, when we desire you to understand us. Since you are Naruto-sama teammates, you will be able to understand us, but someone who is just walking by would not be able to understand us. All they would hear is us barking, growling, and yipping" Kui said as she jumped down from the railing to go and sit down by Naruto. "I will be training Naruto-sama and Yuki in some specialty jutsus" commented Kui to the two amazed genins. "I hope that we can all get along together" Kui yipped with a nod to both genins.
"Wow!" Hinata quietly spoke as she looked between Kui and Yuki in amazement.
"Do you have any general training that you can train the whole group?" questioned Sasuke in remembrances of their earlier activity.
"Sure there are many things that I can help and train you in for your shinobi training" stated Kui. "That is if your sensei does not mind the additional training that you would receive from me." "Humph! He won't mind; Kakashi-sensei is always late, so we have time in the morning before he gets here to do extra training" Sasuke growled at the thought of the continually late sensei.
"Extra training in the morning before missions would be nice" Hinata timidly spoke as she hesitantly looked up at the boys on her team. "So extra training before Kakashi-sensei gets here in the morning" Naruto smile and pumped his fist into the air. "Okay Kui its back to you for training" shouted Naruto with excitement and glee.
"Training, training, training" Yuki yipped and he danced and jumped around the three genins. Hinata let loose a small giggle at Yuki's antics. Sasuke could be seen trying not to break loose a small smirk at the kitsune behavior.
Kakashi could be seen up in a nearby tree with a happy little eye smile at his teams interaction with hope for his team's future development as shinobi for Konoha. He then proceeded to pull out his little orange book to enjoy the next hour in peacefully reading as his team trained under Kui.
All of a sudden Yuki barked to the group; "So does this mean that sensei is the "Ero-sensei!"". Naruto then proceeded to laugh out loud at Yuki comments as Kui smirked in remembrances of the last one to the bridge comments from earlier in the morning. Sasuke raised his eyebrow in questions, as Hinata blushed at the thought of her sensei being an ero-sensei. Kakashi could be seen with sweat drops from the kitsune words.
