The tour around the village didn't last as long as Naruto expected it would. Besaid wasn't a large island by any means, meaning the village province was easily the size of a chunk of a sect when compared to places like Konoha. Naruto took the time to ask about every tidbit of information he could gain about the world. Phrasing his question in a way where the subject was approached about wanting to learn more about exact details. Like instead of coming out and asking about what a summoner was or what it entailed, he asked about the different details in regarding to summoners as well as their training.

He played the forgetful card and Yuna was more than kind enough to give him a refresher course. The two found themselves down at the beach by the end of the tour.

"The wind, it's nice." Yuna said as she ran her fingers through her hair. The cool breeze of the ocean always felt nice, especially during the hot summer season. From what she could remember from her childhood the summers in Bevelle were much hotter.

"Yuna-san, why is being a summoner the choice you made? Why is it important to you?" he asked as Yuna turned to him, on the edge of indecision there was an answer but something seemed to stop her from answering.

Yuna knew what the teachings taught her to say. Because she must and it was a summoner's duty. The Summoners brought the Calm. But in her heart that was not the way she would put it.

"Because I would have no one else die from Sin. If I were to defeat Sin, even if only for a little while, the people of Spira could sleep soundly. There would be more joy in Spira, if only for a little while... That in and of itself is "worth it", I think..."

A smile graced Naruto's face. "That is noble. If you're to be a summoner, than I would gladly be your Guardian."

"I would like that very much." She softly answered.

"Maybe I can show you a bit of hand to hand combat techniques?" he suggested. He would have moved closer, but his ears picked up the sound of breathing. He didn't need to look to check who it was. It was the Ronso, Kimarhi who was vigilantly watching over Yuna. As Yuna explained he had been watching over her since she was a child, in fact he was the one who brought her to Besaid. All he knew though that he didn't want to be on the wrong end of the protective guardian's staff.

"I...do you really think so?" she asked, indecisive. "I mean, summoner abilities aren't tied to physical combat."

"Then why not change things up?" he suggested as some seagulls flew overhead. "Its important to always cover your combat weaknesses. Like that fight with that bird creature. You don't want to have something like that to occur again."

"I suppose you're right." she agreed. "Can you hold on a second?" she asked as she began walking ahead.

"Yuna-san?" Naruto asked, raising his eyebrow in interest.

She turned, quickly lifting her head and smiled. "I'm just going to speak for Kimarhi for a moment. I don't want him to get the wrong idea, and come beat you up!" Yuna said as she giggled. Naruto laughed.

"Yeah, that would be for the best." he remarked as he patiently waited for her to return. "Alright, we won't be doing anything extensive today. I'm going to go over a brief run through of many things. The first is the stance. " he said as he waved her over. "Now mirror my moves," he said, "Feet at shoulder length apart and arms facing forward," he continued to instruct her, only to stop and correct her stance. "To be honest I can't say this stance will be too effective against these fiends of yours, I'm used to fighting human opponents, but we'll extend and mend your stances to fight these creatures in time." he said as Yuna nodded. "One of the most important aspects is balance. This stance can help with balance, if by chance you do lose your balance even for a second you can kiss your ass goodbye as the enemy will probably kill you."

Yuna's eyes widened, she paled slightly and gulped. She wasn't used to such bluntness. The fact that she could be killed so easily never entered her mind. Suddenly a shout erupted from Naruto's mouth and he made a motion to strike. Yuna gasped and stumbled back, landing on her rear where a sharp pain elicited from the fall.

"There's no time for you to daydream." he chided. "Hesitation can get you kill. You must be ready at all times." he said as he waited for Yuna to pick herself up.

"I'm sorry."

Naruto shook his head. "If you have time to apologize you have time to focus. You're going to have to learn to be a bit more Aggressive Yuna-san. You can't stand back and defend yourself all the time. If Guardians are the protectors I'm guessing they're the attackers. Though always defending yourself isn't smart, it'll get you killed. If the enemy picks up on your fear they will become bold, they will gain a mental advantage over you. So now, come and strike me," he beckoned the girl who seemed to be rooted in her spot. "I'll stick right to this spot. Don't worry about injuring me, I'm used to injuries."

Yuna took a moment to compose herself. She was still a bit hesitant, but she knew she would have to fight. She needed to become stronger. It would be the only way she could defeat SIN. So she charged, only for the blond to sway, grab her wrist, and flipped her onto her backside. She was stunned, it took her a few moments to piece together what happened. "You...you said you were going to stick to that spot!" she couldn't believe the blond tricked her like that.

"I didn't leave my spot, but you're being a bit naive." he playfully poked at her. "Do not expect your enemies to play fair. Not everyone can be trusted Yuna-san. You have to be willing to do anything in order to win a fight. The edge of either hand, the heel of your hands, your fingers folded at the second knuckle, your boot, your elbow, your knees, your teeth, your fore finger and second finger forming a "V" shape, and your fist. These body parts alone are some of the most powerful weapons you can use. There might be a time where you lose your staff or can not fight in any other method. Being able to use these methods of attack might by you a few seconds where otherwise you would perish."

It continued on until the sun began to set. Yuna was tired, slightly bruised, and dirty, but she felt in the long run it would be worth.

"Hey you two! Time for bed, ya?" Wakka shouted at the two from the other side of the field.

"Goodnight Naruto." Yuna said, placing her hand on his arm as she walked by, doing her best not to kill over in exhaustion.

"Hey, I think you may have went overboard, ya?" Wakka asked as he approached him. Naruto had sent a clone ahead of time to inform Lulu and Wakka so they wouldn't need to be overly concerned.

"I highly doubt the fiends are going to care for Yuna's comfort on the pilgrimage." he acknowledged. He quickly changed the subject."Wakka...I need to ask you something very important."

"Shoot."

"Well, I with to become a guardian. One of Yuna's guardians once she becomes a Summoner. I know it's a lot to ask but its the path I wish to follow."

"It's a lot of work. But I just can't say you can be a guardian like that. You need skills, power, confidence, and you need to protect Yuna even at the cost of ones life. I can test you if you want to become one." Wakka said.

"I see. Then teach me. I'm ready. " Naruto told him.

"I'll see what I can do." Wakka said then walked off. Naruto decided it was time to get some training in. It was time to see if the nature of this world had any effect on his Senjutsu.
