Thank you...Yasaka, for everything." During his one month in the training ground, he didn't train alone but Yasaka also joined in his training as well. She was an awesome training partner and an even better teacher, a very wise one who taught him so many thing that even in his wildest dream such Youki Energy Control and specially "Fuinjutsu" She taught him in sealing art which helped him to create his own hiraishin seals.
But he couldn't help but feel sad for her. Yasaka spent a lot of efforts in studying the seal in order to free her mother and yet...all she could do was understand a part of it.
But in the end, she never gave up.
"It's my pleasure, Naruto" Yasaka said with a small smile "You are my first student and I can't ask for a better one than you are."
"And you couldn't ask for a better teacher, Yasaka" Naruto grinned at her before looking around, realizing something, or rather someone was missing "Where is Kunou?" he asked out loud and then turned his attention back to the ground and saw the young Kyuubi still standing at the training ground, her ears lying flat on the top of her head and was looking at the outside world rather nervously.
Over the past month, Kunou finally got over the fact that her grandmother was being sealed inside Naruto and there was nothing she could do to help her mother, even biting him to death. It were some very tough first week for Naruto, as Kunou took every chance she got to attack him, usually with her abnormally sharp teeth and fists in hope of freeing her grandmother. Poor girl never met Kurahime in her life and really wanted to meet the Queen of Makai.
If it not for Kurahime who KIND enough to heal his wound, he would have numerous scars on his body, especially around his thighs.
But things turned out well for them after Kunou accepted to let her mother do the job. The fox girl began to get quite attract to Naruto much to Yasaka's surprise and soon looked up to him as an older brother she never got. Naruto also couldn't help but consider her as his cute little sister, nothing against Naruko but he was his sister at the other world and he barely knew his red head sibling, while he had spent a month with the Kyuubi mother and daughter at the training ground and got to know them quite well.
"I think she is a little nervous, after all this is her first time at the human world" Yasaka informed him and kneeled down "C'mon Ku-chan, don't be so shy, mommy here, everything is going to be alright."
"If you are afraid then you can return to Makai, it's alright Kunou" Naruto smiled at her, putting his hands on his hip.
The young fox girl gulped nervously before taking the first step outside.
"She is a lot like Yasaka when she was young, I see" Kurahime commented, smiling softly at the sight of her granddaughter running into her mother's arms.
"That's my girl." Yasaka smiled, hugging her daughter.
"I think we should go now." Naruto called out for them. He hated to break their moment but his father and Minami were probably wondering where he was and considering the fact that they were trying to make up to him, they definitely worried sick now and could be out searching for him.
While he was beginning to move out of the training ground he felt that he was being watched by someone behind the trees. He had been feeling this since the beginning of his training days. He looked at Yasaka for confirmation of his doubts. He asked her in a polite manner.
"Is someone watching us from the first day of our training" Naruto asked
"Yes Naruto, from the first day we were watched by a girl but she didn't seem dangerous so I didn't tell you" Yasaka replied calmly
"I guess it's time to visit her" Naruto said
Sayuri Uchiha POV
Sayuri Uchiha the third child of Fukagu and Mikoto Uchiha. Unlike her brothers Sayuri was not a talented Kunoichi. She was trying very hard to gain her father acknowledgement but it was all in vain. His father didn't pay much attention to her because His both Son's are living up to the standard of Uchiha. She was good at fire jutsu but not like Itachi and Sasuke with gifted with Lightning Element a Rare in Uchiha Clan. She felt really depressed of this and mostly stay away from her clan members. They considered her weak just like Obito Uchiha.
One day she was sitting in her room and heard Rumors of Naruto failing his first graduation exam from sasuke and her mother interaction. She thought it as rumour and thought that it must be a lie. Because he is Hokage Son, how can a genius son fail. She was curious about this and tried to look at the Naruto class and was surprised to see that he failed. She was in her 3rd year of Academy and Sasuke was in 4th joined academy in early days because of her siblings and he was same age as Sasuke. She then didn't pay much attention to it. But when she reached in her 4th year she again heard about Naruto failing his exams. She somehow became curious about Naruto. She followed him to his training ground and saw that he was practicing alone with no one. She thought that he must be trained by someone but that was not the case. She followed him to the Ramen Shop and found that he was being bullied by 4 Chunin kunoichis. She also saw how he is forced to became their toy. While he is doing the cleaning of Inuzuka pups he accidentally left his notebook.
She was very curious of what he had written in it and she started reading it. It was like a diary of his understood that he was just like him not appreciated by his family, trying to gain acknowledgement. Working hard to gain some spotlight. She felt admiration for him. She wants to know more about him. But when read about his crush being Hinata and mentioning her as Hime, She was feeling jealous of Hinata. And from that day she started to watch over Naruto. She didn't know why she is doing it but whenever she look at him she is filled with believes that Naruto is the one she can get along in future.
She was in her 5th year of Academy and his elder Brother Sasuke was in the same class as Naruto. She was kind of sad that Naruto is again being insulted by his teacher for not performing a proper D Rank it really hurt her when her brother always boast about how easily he defeated Naruto in Hand to Hand Combat. She wanted to say something to Sasuke when he insulted Naruto saying he should quit being a Ninja. But she calmed down after Itachi words. He said "You Should not Judge People by their looks or by your own views regarding that person".
She was sure that this year Naruto will definitely graduate and once he became a genin she will definitely talk to him as a Kohai who will look up-to him as Role Model. But at last Naruto once again failed the graduation and Sasuke his brother became the Rookie of the Year. She is sad because Naruto is losing his hopes. She promised herself that this time she will help him him to reach his goal. She was really happy that she will be in Naruto will be her first friend maybe more than a friend. When she visited to her new class, she didn't see Naruto. She was waiting for him to seat next to him but that hope didn't come. She became sad that Naruto didn't come today. She thought of visiting the ground but he was not there either. When she was visiting to her home, she heard interaction of guards of Uchiha District regarding Hokage Son being almost killed by Mizuki. She was shocked to hear that news, Not wanting to believe it she ran to her home. When everyone in her house came for the dinner, Itachi explained his father regarding his mission for guarding Hokage and about Naruto condition of how he was decieved by a Chunin Instructor. How he stole the secret scroll and how did he save his student life Minami Namikaze. He also said that he is in coma and doesn't know when he will wake up. He also told that due to poison his hair color has changed and now he looks similar to Hokage Sama.
Sayuri was listening to it while having her dinner silently and after finishing her meal she went back to her room. She was cursing this Reality, All she wanted to be with Naruto and now that opportunity had also been stolen by her. Why? She thought that maybe this time I can be someone who can be special to Naruto and the same boy she admired is fighting for life. She was emotionally broken and was crying. But when the thought of Naruto leaving her alone came across her mind, it was too much. She realized that she wanted be Naruto Best Girl and when the thought of a world without Naruto came across her mind, she cannot accept it. That trauma triggered unique chakra in her brain and the pain she felt in her eye was Unbearable. She was feeling really lonely and after the pain faded she opened her Eyes. She took a glass of water for drinking but she became surprised when she saw the reflection of her eyes on glass. In order to clear her doubts she looked her Reflection at mirror and was Shocked of what she had seen. She saw her Three tomoe Sharingan reflecting in her Eye Retina. She had a mature Sharingan, a feat which even Sasuke didn't achieved yet. She decided that she will not tell anyone about it otherwise she will be questioned regarding it and forced to go in Special Training just like his Brother day Sayuri promised herself that she will give every little support to Naruto. She believed in her heart that Naruto will definitely come back.
