Hey readers and welcome to the next chapter. I hope you all enjoy my work…or at least don't hate it completely. Oh, and for the record; I don't own Naruto at all.

Chapter 51

"Ah while I enjoy helping out the younger generation it is nice to have some time to train yourself as well." Naruto thought with a smile as he came to another training ground. "Now what to work on today.." he mumbles walking towards the center of the field.

(Note that this field is actually the one that he did his rasengan training with Kakashi and Yamato)

"Hmm…I guess I can just start with my chakra manipulation and go from there." Naruto finally decides with a shrug. He then sat down on the ground and began to mold his chakra into a long strand that was several inches in diameter that stretched out away from him. The further it went the more you could visibly see Naruto begin to strain his control. Finally after a few minutes of trying to inch it as far as he could he finally swung it down at the ground creating a mark before drawing the chakra back so he didn't waste a large amount unnecessarily.

"Hmm…38 meters *sigh* I guess that is an ok improvement." He then stood up and summoned three shadow clones who all quickly drew a few kunai and shuriken and simply stood around Naruto while still give him enough room to do some maneuvering. "Begin." Naruto told them simply and his clones began to throw their weapons at him making them all fly at a moderate speed. Meanwhile the real Naruto quickly began to dodge the weapons while yet again forming a strand of chakra. This time though he only took about a minute and a half before stopping his clone's attacks. He then sat back down in his original spot and swung the chakra tendril at the ground again and looked at it with a frown. For this time it only went about 15 meters.

(AN: I just made a mental guess at what would be a decent range. For the first I wanted it at a decent middle range ability and while he is busy I wanted it to be partially close to a middle range but still pretty close ranged. So, if someone has an better idea for the numbers and a better reasoning them my tired head making a guess feel free to message…need him to not be TOO Op after all)

"Heh boss looks like Ero-sennin was right...our chakra control really is still crap compared to others even with our dojutsu helping us a bit….it is gonna be a pain to get it better." One of his clones told him a bit amused seeing as it wasn't HIS life that was gonna be spent on such a frustration task.

"Yea, yea but I am already doing all the suggestions pervy sage gave me and while they are working they are just kind of slow…hmm maybe Hinata could have some idea for me. She has always been really good with her chakra control. Come to think of it all of my girlfriends besides Ayame have super good chakra control.." Naruto told the clone realizing the irony that the one person that always had horrible control attracted all of the girls with near perfect control. Still he pushed those thoughts aside and instead summoned a few hundred clones for his next part of training. Soon after they were summoned the clones immediately began rushing at him with them all attacking with taijutsu with his goal to be beating them all taking as little damage as possible.

+15 minutes later+

"Huff, Huff, and people wonder why spamming clones works so much." Naruto mumbles out while trying to catch his breath and was currently leaning over. For he spent pretty much the last fifteen minutes constantly fighting his clones as they all ganged up on him. Still he had a smile on his face seeing as he killed all of them and took less damage than the last time he tried it. Finally after a minute or two of catching his breath he stood up and unsealed some water from a scroll that he happily chugged down.

"I don't know why you are forcing yourself to train so much nigen…I could give you all the power you ever need." The Kyuubi told Naruto while having a large grin on his face.

"Oh hell no. Never again! Ero-sennin may have just shaken it off as an accident but I won't forget what I did to him. YOU made me attack him and nearly kill him for no reason. I am never using your powers again!" Naruto growled mentally at the Kyuubi who just laughed.

"You say that now gaki but you know it is a lie. You need my strength and I am sure that you will come running back as soon as that happens." He told Naruto before cutting his connection.

"Damn fox. I am going to make sure that I never need his chakra again…it is just too dangerous…Ero-sennnin may have forgiven me but I haven't. I mean I nearly killed someone close to me and have no memory of actually doing it; or even trying to stop it." Still Naruto quickly shook his head. "I can't think about this right now…it is training time" Naruto thought determined before forcing himself to get back to his training.

+Half hour later+

After beginning his training again Naruto was now going through some basic katas until he noticed someone walking towards him. A fact Naruto ignored and simply focused on his katas.

"Hey Naruto!" the person called out making Naruto look over and see Kakashi and Yamato walking towards him. He also saw it was Kakashi that greeted him with his hand up and his regular eye smile.

"Hello Kakashi-sensi, Yamato-sensei." Naruto greeted them both. "What are you two doing here?"

"Well we came here to see if you know the truth of your father's rasegan." Kakashi explained confusing Naruto.

"The truth?"

"Yes you see it is actually not a complete jutsu." Kakashi explained shocking Naruto. He then raised his hand and created his chidori. "You see your father always wanted to put an element into the rasengan but never was able to. So, he taught me how to do it and my failed attempt created the chidori…now I think is the time for you to try your hand at it." Kakashi explained.

"Sweet! Let's get started!" Naruto tells him happily.

"Hold on Naruto. We have to do something first." Yamato tells him waving his arms as if to try and settle Naruto down. He then pulled out a piece of chakra. "First we need to figure out what element you have and train you in it. Now this is chakra pa-" Yamato begins only for Naruto to cut him off.

"Wait!" Naruto told him stopping his explanation completely. "I already went through this with ero-sennin. I have wind and water with a small amount of fire if I tap into the bastard's chakra." Naruto explained growling at his own mention of his 'jailed' biju.

"Oh…" Yamato mumbled surprised.

"..did you honestly think that ero-sennin did nothing with me while on my training trip?" Naruto asked the adults in disbelief.

"…to be honest I didn't know what to expect with Jiraiya-sama. While being known as a very strong ninja he also is known to spend a large amount of his time lust…*cough* looking for inspiration for his books." Yamato tells him quickly changing the second part when Kakashi released a decent amount of KI. "…anyways how about we start by figuring out how far your elemental training has gone." Yamato told Naruto who nods with a smile on his face.

"Okay, so for my wind training I have cut a leaf then we focused on my ability to use it to create a cutting edge on my chains. As for water I am able to use my charka I am able to a point where I can create a mass of water above a lake and mold it as I like. As for fire….well I started and then we…decided to put a hold on it.

"Hmm..how about we see if we can get your wind chakra control stronger…" Kakashi tells Naruto before looking over at Yamato. "So, just start with part two of our plan then." He told him who nodded and quickly went through several hand seals before slamming his hands down on the ground. A second later a giant wooden bean spouted out the side of a nearby waterfall and went all the way across it. "Welcome to your next test…cut the waterfall in half." Kakashi tells Naruto who looks at him with his eyes wide.

"I-is that even possible?" Naruto asked looking at the large amount of rushing water.

"We will find out won't we?" Kakashi told him with his eye smile.

"But why such a big platform?" Naruto asked confused.

"Naruto-san have you ever noticed what happens when you use your shadow clones?" Yamato asked hoping he knew.

"Well they give me back their memories but I don't see how…ooohh….why haven't I been using them for my control this whole time!" Naruto complained annoyed that he didn't think of that when he spent ages working on it by himself. Still he eventually got over it and created a bunch of clones to line the log that he soon joined himself.

"Better rest up Yamato…the next part is probably going to be the most tiring for you if my hunch turns out to be correct." Kakashi tells his friend.

*sigh* "I hope not" Yamato tells him already dreading the chakra exhaustion that was surely in his future. So in a an act to try and prevent that he sat down and tried to meditate to hopefully regain a bit of the chakra he used to create the beam itself.

~Konoha streets, near Hyuuga district~

Currently Hanabi and Moegi were walking back to the Hyuuga compound. For while they were talking and becoming decent friends Moegi talked Hanabi into showing her what a clan compound actually looked like. For being born a civilian she really had no clue. In fact the only compound she ever saw was the Sarutobi one which basically seemed like a regular house though larger than average houses. Meanwhile the Hyuuga compound always seemed so regal even from the outside.

"I am telling you Moegi that it isn't all the special." Hanabi told the excited girl.

"Heh, but I still want to see it. I mean it always looks so amazing on the outside so I just have to see if it is even better on the inside. Plus, what better way to get to know your friends then visiting their home?" Moegi asked. For while she wasn't normally this pushy about something she always has been dying to visit the Hyuugas. Plus, if she was being honest Hanabi wasn't the easiest person to get information about. For whenever she asked questions they always seemed to lead to next to nothing being learned. So, she decided to learn as much as she could about the quieter girl. After all she was determined to be her friend…the poor girl never seemed to spend time with anyone….a fact that she just found crazy seeing as anyone would go insane from being alone for that long. Courses what she didn't know was that this was exactly why Naruto had some of his more crazy tendencies when he was a kid.

So, with that in mind Moegi walked slowly into the compound with Hanabi looking at everything with wide eyes; truly enjoying all of the fancy decorations that seemed to be strewn about the property. "Wow, Hanabi-chan I can't believe you are lucky enough to live here. It is so beautiful." Moegi told the girl truthfully.

"…Thank you" Hanabi told her after looking at the girl for a second. For to her everything was normal…Still she would be lying if she said she didn't take some pride in her clan causing such amazement. Course after saying this she basically shrugged off the girls amazement and simply gave the girl a tour while trying to ignore a certain amount of the girls 'oohs' and 'aahs'. For while they were flattering to begin with after a while they got a bit annoying. Still she didn't want to kick the girl out do to it being improper for a future possible clan leader to be rude to the commoners…..at least that is what she tried telling herself. If she was being honest she really wanted to try having friends. She just was a bit too shy to force herself to get to know the 'commoners' as some of the clan called them. After all just like her sister she had a stronger desire to make friends even from outside the compound an idea that not many of her clan mates shared. In fact a lot of the clan kept to themselves for the most part.

"And finally this is my room." Hanabi told Moegi opening the slidding door to let them both in. When Moegi came in the first thing she noted was that it surprisingly was rather plain. In her mind it would have been a lot fancier with Hanabi being one of the clan heirs and all. Still it was pleasant with a twin size bed in the middle of the room, a large dresser and mirror on the right side of the room, and finally a bookcase that was filled to the brim on the left side of the room. After fully taking in the rooms looks she walked into the room and gently sat down on the bed looking back at Hanabi.

"Ok, so what do you want to do?" Moegi asked the girl now that her excitement over exploration was finally wearing off a bit.

"…I don't know." Hanabi answered truthfully. For she never had a friend over before and really had no idea what to do.

"Hmm? Come on there has to be something that you want to do. Don't worry I promise I won't make fun of you for anything you suggest." Moegi told the girl wanting to do what she wanted now seeing as she actually felt a bit bad that she pressured Hanabi into the tour simply because she was curious...in her mind it was time to pay the girl back and to truly get their friendship started. Course after nothing was said in a few seconds Moegi looked back at the girl who seemed deep in thought so, she simply got comfortable on the bed.

"Hmm something that I want to do…what do I do? This is so new I mean I never really had friends outside of the clan. Come on what would sis do?" Hanabi thinks trying to figure out an idea to spend time with the girl she hopefully could call a friend soon enough. Course when she thought of what her sister would do in this predicament all she could think of was the older girl poking her fingers together shyly before finally fainting. A thought that nearly made her giggle. "Ok maybe I don't want to copy my sister here but what does a normal girl do with her friends instead of training or studying? Hmm..I think I remember a lot of civilian girls love to go sho-…oh no!" Hanabi thought finally having a decent idea only to finally focus back on the real world and notice Moegi was looking at a book that she thought to have hidden away in a secret seal on her bed.

"W-what did you find?" Hanabi asked the girl who looked up to her from looking the outside of the book over.

"Oh, sorry I just found the scroll underneath your pillow and got curious." Moegi told the girl honestly for while Hanabi thought that she put it away it turns out that the girl forgot to do so when she nearly got caught during her…private time by her sister.

"T-that is nothing just a book I was reading last night before bed to…calm down." Hanabi told the girl trying her best to not blush at begin so close to getting her (and her clans) secret habit caught.

"Hmm so you like reading too." Moegi told the girl happy to find another person that read as a hobby. She then opened the book up before Hanabi could stop her and began reading. Soon after her face turned bright red when she realized what kind of book it was.

"P-please don't tell anyone." Hanabi asked the girl blushing a bit at being caught.

"D-don't worry Hanabi-chan…I just didn't expect it to be…this." Moegi admitted leading to an awkward silence between the two of them.

"Um H-how about we go shopping now that you have explored around here?" Hanabi asked the girl trying to get them away from the subject.

"Yea, let's go." Moegi agreed hoping to get away from it as well.

~Outside of village~

"Why the fuck are we wasting time here now. These bastards aren't worshiping Jashin-sama" Hidan complained.

"This will be the last one before we reach our true objective. The head monk here is worth a lot" Kakuzu told his partner simply. "Besides I am sure there will be lots of monks here for you to 'show' your god to." He added to appease the man.

"…there better fucken be." Hidan growls out but still walks up the stairs with until his partner stops at the top looking at the large group of warrior monks that were already waiting for them.

"Seems like these bastards are here for a fight." Hidan says with a smirk.

"Halt. Leave this place at once." One of the monks orders them only making Hidan's smirk grow.

"Can I sacrifice these fools already?" Hindan asks grabbing his scythe.

"…go nuts just leave my bounty alone." Kakuzu tells him as he calmly walks towards the monk ignoring his partner happily running at them with sadistic glee.

+Later on+

"Are you done? I have my bounty." Kakuzu asks with the body of the head monk resting on his shoulder. Behind him Hidan was pinned to one of the buildings walls with a pole impaled through him.

"Fine. Let's go and then get this mission done." Hidan grumbles waking up from his seemingly dead appearance. He then quickly pulled out the pole and put it away not even flinching as it came out of him. He then walked over to his partner who looked at him clearly annoyed.

"And you wonder why I have to get so many bounties. You idiots know nothing about the importance of keeping your equipment in good condition." Hidan complained clearly meaning the holes that were now in Hidans clothes.

"Che you get so many bounties because you are a greedy bastard. I know for a fact that you don't give that paper bitch anywhere near the real amount of money you make forcing me to collect all of these bastards." Hidan complains.

"…You say it as if you don't enjoy killing all the people we face because of it." Hidan tells him making his scythe wielding partner grumble but not refuse his statement. Still neither one of them noticed that one of the monks actually was still alive although just barely.

Said man was badly wounded and bleeding out as he limped through the building as fast as he could.

"I must let the village know of what happened. Maybe they can avenge the fallen from these monsters." The man thought determined as he made it into a room that contained a few hawks. He then quickly grabbed some paper and wrote down a message as quick as he could while desperately trying to avoid ruining it with his own blood. Once it was done, he quickly tied it to one of the hawk's legs and opened the window.

"Go…let the Hokage know…" The man ordered the hawk that left to do the job that it was trained for. Meanwhile the man smiled slightly at the sight and dropped to the floor on his butt sitting as comfortably as he could. "Please let that message make it…let them avenge us." The monk thought not even caring if he was following his teaching anymore or not. He instead let himself enjoy the fact he got 'one up' on the people that murdered them all and was able to get the message out. A feeling that soon was his last as he finally drew in his last breath.

~Konoha falcon room~

A single chunnin was calmly feeding the messenger falcon's that weren't currently in use. He then heard another one come flying into the room quickly through one of the open windows of the area. When he noticed that it had a message on it. So, he walked over to it and took the message off while giving the bird some hard earned bird seed.

"Hmm Let's see what we have here." The man said calmly unrolling the message and began to skim through it. As he read his calmness soon was replaced with surprised then quickly became that of terror. He then quickly ran out of the room and went as quick as he could to the Hokage's office.

"Hokage-sama the temple has been attacked!" The man called out as soon as he entered the room not even bothering to knock.

"What!?" Tsunade asked shocked only to be handed the note by the man. "Bring me team 11 and tell them I want them ready to be deployed yesterday!" Tsunade ordered her Anbu who quickly did just that. "I just hope that things aren't as bad as I think they are." Tsunade prayed having a feeling that there wasn't going to be much to save if it was bad enough that the warrior monks couldn't handle it.

~Orochimaru's lair~

Orochimaru was sitting calmly on a throne watching as several of his more disposable ninja were currently fighting Sasuke who was currently able to defend from all of them even as they tried their hardest to kill them. Soon enough though Sasuke seemed to grow bored of just being on defense and quickly dispatched of all of the ninja without a moment of hesitation.

"Good job Sasuke-kun." Orochimaru told him as he sheathed his sword and looked up at the snake sannin. Orochimaru then motioned for a few of his helpers to remove the bodies.

"Hmm…these fools were just weaklings. When will I be able to actually test my strength?" Sasuke asked the sannin not happy at all with how easy the test was. Still he only got a chuckle from Orochimaru.

"Calm down Sasuke-kun soon enough you will be facing enemies that are supposedly some of the strongest ninja in the world…all that is left is for our army to be prepared for our plans to be successful." Orochimaru told him. "Pathetic boy acting like he is already some mighty god. Little does he know that soon enough he will be nothing but my next body just as soon as he isn't useful anymore." Orochimaru thought annoyed with Sasuke's attitude but then began to have an evil chuckle. "Or maybe I will let him live and simply have him produce children so I will have Uchiha bodies for the rest of my eternal life."

He then noticed Kabuto enter the room.

"How are the experiments going?" Orochimaru asked his apprentice who smiled at him.

"We have gained some ground on our plans but still need to perfect it." Kabuto tells him before motioning to someone behind him that walked into the room with a single 'zombie' following them. "Our SOUND Special Operations Un-killable Ninja Demolishers were before only strong enough to be at about the level of a highly trained civilian. Though through collecting people that have some use of their chakra (people who gained the ability to use chakra by training as a ninja but quitting/not making it or accidental) we have been able to create a few members who are capable of using some jutsus and strengthening their bodies through chakra." Kabuto explained keeping his smile on his face. He then motioned behind him yet again and had yet another scientist come into the room this time with about a dozen regular 'zombies' following. This group walked until they were on the opposite side of the SOUND zombie.

Kabuto then snapped his fingers and the two scientist ordered their troops to attack each other. This lead to the SOUND zombie being able to easily demolish the attackers while taking only minor damage from them.

Orchimaru simply smiles at this demonstration. "Soon I will have the perfect army and no longer need to have this next to useless 'village' following my orders…Actually they can stay so long as they become the next generation of fully controlled soldiers." Orochimaru thought with an evil laugh. After all he was the one who spent some time making sure each of his followers thought he cared for them in some shape or form. That way they would be less likely to doubt him when he uses them for all they are worth…he only let's them find out how he truly felt about them when he disposed of them in some shape or form.

"Good job Kabuto-kun. Though the name will need work." Orochimaru tells the boy who seems to get annoyed at this for a second before letting it pass.

So, thank you for reading another chapter. Now I just now realize that I have been making this go pretty slow. Now I am kind of ok with that seeing as I am trying to focus on speeding through the story but instead working on more character interaction and romance…though I hate to say that I sadly haven't been doing that much writing of MY story lately. I have been busy with other stuff. So, technically this story takes a bit more importance to get done simply because I don't want to disappoint you readers again…more. After all this story has had its breaks…both because of me and accidents. Anyways I just wanted to thank all of you that are somehow still reading this and I hope that you enjoy it to the end. But don't worry I am going to try to advance the story a decent bit as well seeing as I haven't in a while.

In fact these next few chapters will have a decent amount of progress in them for you to enjoy. Though know that a lot of what I will do will be close to what is in the show but will have variants in them as well seeing as I have obviously made several characters different than they would be in the show. Oh and one last thing before I end. I am happy to announce that several of the stories that I have in my watch list have been updating a lot more regularly. Something that makes me both hapy to read and gives me inspiration to keep my own story chugging along as fast as I can. Ja Ne
