Please read the Auther note at the bottom it is pretty importent.
Naruto blinked at he looked at Tsuki. She had not moved from the moment she read the title of the book. 'Is something wrong with her? He thought as he looked at her carefully. The one thing he noticed was that her eyes were wide in what looked like fear. Naruto blinked and looked behind him but saw nothing. 'What is she afraid of it's just a book.' He thought before waving his hand in front of her. "Umm Tsuki, are you ok?" he asked.
Tsuki blinked and then nodded quickly. "Y-y-ya I'm fine. She said as she did her best to settle down. 'Of all the subjects he could find interest in it just had to be Fuinjutsu.' She thought before turning her attention back to the worried Naruto in front of her. "Are you sure that's what you want to get? I have heard Fuinjutsu is very difficult to learn." She said hoping to try and discourage him.
Naruto nodded. "I am sure, I looked at some other stuff while you were getting some books but they seemed boring. Even the book on Ninjutsu was boring to read." He explained waving his hands at the shelves. "But then I noticed this book and it had that swirly thing that all the Ninja wear on their backs so I thought I would check it out."
Tsuki nodded, sighing internally. "Ok then, let's get these books checked out and find somewhere to train." She said with a smile though inside she was scowling. She turned around and made her way towards the front desk. Behind her Naruto had opened up the book and continued reading. 'It's so weird I understand this stuff, but why, the book said Fuinjutsu was very complicated, but all that stuff this Mito wrote I just get somehow.' He thought as they arrived at the front desk. Tsuki handed over the books she got to the Librarian to be checked out. Once she was done Naruto handed over his book. The Librarian looked at the book and then back at him. "Are you sure you want to check this out kid, this stuff is not as simple as it looks." She said.
Naruto nodded in response. "I'm sure and it doesn't seem that hard." He said putting his putting his hands behind his head. The woman looked at him, raising an eye brow before checking out the book. "Here you go and be careful, just because that stuff in that book is the simplest aspects of Fuinjutsu does not mean it won't cause a mess if you make a mistake." She warned before handing the book back to him. "Thanks for the warning, I'll be as careful as I can." He said before heading out the door with Tsuki.
As they walked towards the academy Tsuki glanced back at Naruto who was nose deep in his book. She sighed and turned her attention back to where she was going. 'Why did he have to pick Fuinjutsu? Of all the possible skills that Ninja can learn, why Fuinjutsu?' she thought as they continued to travel in silence. Eventually they made it back to the Academy and made their way around to the training yard. Tsuki made her way over to a tree and set the books she was carrying down. "Ok now we can get started." She said with a smile before picking up the book on Chakra.
Naruto glanced up from his book and set it down next to a tree with the books Tsuki brought. "Soooo what are we going to do?" he asked as she started to flip through the book on Chakra. "We are going to work on using our Chakra so we can more effectively use Jutsu." She said glancing up at Naruto.
Naruto blinked and stared at her. "Umm what's Catra?" he asked. Tsuki stares at him and face palms. "It's Chakra, not Catra." She said correcting him. "Now Chakra is the bases for all Jutsu that Ninja use, without it there is very little we could do aside from the physical based stuff. Chakra is made up of the body's Physical and Spiritual energies" She said giving a very brief explanation. She then bent down and picked up some leaves. "And we have to learn to control it if you want get stronger and use Jutsu correctly." She added handing him one of the leaves. "This technique for learning control is quiet simple. All you have to do is keep the leaf on your forehead using Chakra." She said before demonstrating. The leaf tried to fall but remained stuck to her head as she focused. 'Being a creature made of Chakra means I have almost perfect control, but this is harder than I thought. Maybe it has to do with the amount of Chakra I have.' She thought before stopping to let the leaf fall.
"There are other techniques for Chakra control according to the book but this is the first one we should learn." She said looking over at Naruto who had already started attempting to keep the leaf on his forehead but it kept falling down. Tsuki watched him for a bit before continuing herself. After a couple minutes Naruto growled in frustration. "Darn it! Why doesn't this work!" He yelled. Tsuki stopped and walked over to him. "Calm down Naruto, if you get stressed out it will be harder to control your Chakra." She said before picking up his leaf and handing it back. "It will take time for you to be able to do this exercise because you have a large amount of Chakra and the more Chakra one has the harder it is to control." She explained as he slowly calmed down. "The plus side to this is that you do more jutsu than everyone else without getting tired." She added to try and make him feel better.
Naruto slowly calmed down but gave Tsuki a foxy smile as she explained the advantages he had with his Chakra. After a few seconds he had managed to settle down and continued work on the exercise. This time doing a bit better but the leaf still fell down. Tsuki smiled and continued working on the exercise herself.
After two hours of practicing Tsuki looked up and noticed the sun was setting. 'We should probably head back soon.' She thought and looked over at Naruto to see his progress. He had a very strained look on his face and a wobbling leaf on his forehead. She smiled thinking he succeeded but a second later it fell down. Naruto grabs his hair and growls. "I was so close that time! What am I doing wrong!" he yelled.
Tsuki walked over to him and pat him on the shoulder. "It's ok, you did a good job for only two hours of work, it will take time for you to get this but as long as you keep at it and remain calm you will get it in no time." She said with a smile. Naruto looked over at her and nodded before smiling. "Your right I just have to keep at it." He said with his foxy smile.
Tsuki nodded "We should probably head back its starting to get late." She said glancing back up at the sky. Naruto nodded before making his way over to the tree to pick up his book on sealing. Tsuki follows him picking up the rest of the books. Slowly they make their way back home. Tsuki glances over at Naruto only to see him focused on the contents of his book again. She shook her head as she turned her attention back to where she was going.
After a while they made it home and Tsuki started work on a late dinner. Naruto got out some paper, ink and brush as he started to practice writing. 'The book said you need to be perfect when writing seal otherwise they could fail horrible.' He thought to himself before looking at the paper to see how well he wrote his name. "I'm going to need a lot of practice." he muttered as he noticed how sloppy his hand writing was. He then shook his head and looked at the paper determinedly. "I won't give up I will do this and learn Fuinjutsu!" he said before going back to practicing.
After half an hour Tsuki walked over. "Naruto its time to eat." She said as she looked over his work. 'Hmm not that much of a difference but his handwriting seems like it got a little better.' She thought as Naruto finished writing another line on his scroll for practice. "OK, just let me clean this up Tsuki." he said with a smile, before he started to clean up and put away and ink and brush he used for writing practice. After putting all of his stuff away Naruto goes over to the kitchen table and they start eating dinner in relative silence. Once they are done eating Tsuki looks up at Naruto. "Tomorrow I think we will continue practice with Chakra and work on some Taijutsu. Does that sound good to you?" she asked.
Naruto looked over at her and nodded. "Ya that sounds good." He said before helping her take care of the dishes. Once they were done cleaning Naruto went back to his Sealing book while Tsuki started reading through some of the other books. After a while Naruto called it a night and went to bed.
Tsuki looked over at him and sighed before backing up the books she was reading. She walked over to Naruto's room and looked down at him. "Kurama Nii-Sama, I wish I could talk to you." She whispered. "Is something wrong Tsuki?" a loud voice asked. Tsuki's eyes widened and she looked around before turning back to Naruto. "Kurama Nii-Sama, You can talk to me without pulling me into the seal?" she asked through whatever link he had made. "Sort of, I managed to establish the connection the ten of us used to contact each other but it seems to only work a sort distance right now." Kurama said in a pleased tone. Tsuki smiled but then frowned "Kurama Nii-Sama what should I do? Naruto wants to learn Fuinjutsu. But if he does and he finds out what I am he might seal me away and We will never be together as a family." She said looking down at the ground.
Kurama went silent for a bit before speaking. "There isn't much you can do, the Ningen is already on the path to learn and taking that away from him could hinder your goal just as much as letting him continue. Even if you tried to stop him I doubted it would work." He replied. Tsuki nodded slowly in understanding. "Your right, I guess the only thing I can do is to try and make him understand what we are, that we have thoughts and emotions too." She said in a somewhat sad tone. Kurama went silent again before speaking. "Tsuki. Why did you not kill the Ningen when you had the chance? You could have ignored your agreement and just set me free?" he asked.
Tsuki closed her eyes and sighed. "I guess it's because he is like me in a why. No family, no friends to help him, just all alone in the world. The only difference is I knew what it was like to have a family while he knows what it is like to be shunned." She said, looking up at the ceiling. "And if I wanted a more logical reason if I did kill him we would have a whole Village after us and it would be a lot harder to find and free the others."
Kurama went silent for a few moments before speaking up. "Just be careful Tsuki, Ningen are not to be trusted." He said before closing the link between the two of them. Tsuki sighed and nodded. "I know Kurama Nii-sama" she muttered before heading off to her room.
Sorry for taking so long to post I have been busy and had a hard time getting in the mood to write. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, but now I have a question for you. DO you want me to time skip to the end of the academey? I could probably do another one or two chapters if need be but I want to see what you guys would prefer.
Also I am thinking about making another story, however it would be a Harry Potter one. I have a few ideas for that one but I want to get your opinion due to the fact it will affect how often I update this story. I will have some polls on my Profile for those who want to vote on whether or not I should start writing a second story if people want a second story I will later have one with base story ideas I am having trouble deciding on at the moment.
