"Bijuu and Bijuu techniques!"

Naruto found himself in a sewer. He was up to his ankles in dirty water. In front of him was a set of massive gates and where the lock would be was a shard of paper that read 'Seal'.

"So, my jailor has come to visit." A deep bass gravelly voice rumbled. Naruto looked and found himself looking into bright blood red eyes that resembled a wolves…No not a wolf "A fox." Naruto breathed.

The being chuckled, it sound like boulders grating on each other "So the jailor recognises the tenant."

Naruto gulped. His sensei had briefed him on his duty of being a jinchuriki. He knew exactly who this was but it still didn't make the encounter any less 'Brown pant worthy' Hari-sensei would have it.

"I know. Kyuubi."

The fox chuckled "Your teachers have taught you well…I was half expecting to see you when we fought Shukaku…The One Tail? The ugly sand thing?"

Naruto nodded "But we didn't."

The fox chuckled "Exactly…You are a lot smarter than I thought as well."

Naruto nodded "Why? Why am I here? Why now? I have something I need to do."

The Kyuubi chuckled "I know Gaki…I want to make a deal with you."

"That is?"

"Tear off this seal. Let me out and I will spare your village and yourself."

"No."

The fox shrugged "Worth a try…Due to how strong you are, I am willing to…work with you."

Naruto nodded "That would entail?"

"I will allow you up to three tails worth of my chakra on the condition that you slacken the seal so I can see what you see, taste what you taste. I want my senses back."

"Up to three tails of your chakra at my disposal whenever I wish and you get my senses?"

"Yes. I'll even stop messing with your chakra control."

With that the deal was made.

Naruto woke up to find a scroll on his beside cabinet that read.

Gaki, off to do research. Here are the steps for a new jutsu.
1) Spin your chakra until you pop the water balloon.
2) Burst the rubber ball with raw chakra….Harder than it looks
3) Put it together.
P.S. Channel chakra into letter to get Balloons

Naruto sighed and tenderly pulled himself out of bed. His battered body had healed overnight. He stretched, got dressed and headed out of the room and out of town to train.

He found a small clearing and he activated the scroll. Naruto grabbed a balloon and he concentrating he could feel the water beginning to rotate. It took a while but eventually the balloon popped.

Naruto sighed and he grabbed another balloon.

Flashback

Naruto was performing the Leaf Cutting exercise when Hari-sensei stopped him. "You learnt the Kage Bunshin jutsu yeah."

Naruto nodded "Yeah…Why?"

Hari sighed "The Kage Bunshin technique is really useful. You may have realised that you can retain the information it gives."

Naruto's eyes widened "Yeah…Jiraiya's dropkick really hurt. If I remembered correctly I was nowhere near him."

Hari nodded "Yep. You learn what it learns. It's shit when it comes to physical stuff. But Chakra Control…"

Naruto grinned "Since Shadow Clones are chakra constructs, I'll be able to use them to improve my control and thus any techniques that require could chakra control."

"Very good Gaki. Keep in mind you'll never be able to do Genjutsu or Medical Jutsu that well."

End Flashback

"TAIJUU KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!" With that thousands of clones erupted into existence.

Unbeknownst to Shizune, who had a keen sense of runaway patients. She had followed Naruto to the training ground. Her jaw dropped as Naruto performed the Kage Bunshin. She was even more impressed at the fact that Naruto was utilising the Clones to help him perfect his chakra control.

The clones dispelled, Shizune watched as Naruto plucked up one of the remaining balloons, concentrate and the balloon popper. He repeated the process to ensure it wasn't a fluke.

She watched as he then removed some rubber balls and began to repeat the process. The balls stretched, twisted but refused to break. Naruto collapsed to one knee and promptly keeled over.

The next two days were like this. Each day thousands of clones were constructed. Every time over the two days the rubber balls twisted, contorted, stretched a little bit more.

Eventually it happened. Naruto sighed. He was popping balloons like it was no-one's business but the bloody rubber ball refused shred. Also observing Naruto and Shizune was Jiraiya.

Rather it was a reinforced Jiraiya Kage Bunshin. The actual Jiraiya was hanging out with Tsunade reminiscing about the old times and telling her what had been happening.

Despite Tsunade's blustering she was interested in the fate of her childhood home.

(Naruto)

Naruto felt it. Suddenly the ball was nowhere to be seen. He looked at his other clones to watch as they shredded their own rubber balls.

Naruto grinned. As he shredded three on his own. "I've done it…Now to put it together."

Naruto grabbed a water balloon, he concentrated. He felt the water beginning to spin. "Faster, faster, faster…Now…BURST!" Naruto snarled mentally.

The balloon burst but the shape completely and utterly collapsed. Naruto repeated the process twice more but then eventually collapsed.

(Tsunade)

Tsunade headed grinned. It had been three days. Three days since she had seen Orochimaru, Jiraiya and his apprentice. It had been three days since she had thrashed said brat and given him that challenge.

"Has he given up yet?"

Jiraiya chuckled as he stepped out the shadows. That was the main thing that unnerved her about the Toad Sannin. Jiraiya was powerful, as were both Orochimaru and Herself. Only Sarutobi knew that the Toad and Snake Sannin could not hold a candle to Jiraiya if he really got going.

Everyone knew that Jiraiya was good with Toads and used seals. But what caught people off guard was just how skilled he was combining his seals and ninjutsu together.

This skill was passed on and surpassed by Namikaze Minato. What made Jiraiya the arguably the strongest of the Sannin was not what he knew, but rather how it was applied. Orochimaru was a Ninjutsu expert and Tsunade was a Medic-nin. To combat them it was simple, rush the former and injure so many of the latter's comrades that she cannot bring her formidable building dropping finger flicks towards her enemies.

In order to do that they would have to cross a who knows how and who knows what with minefield of fuuinninjutsu traps coupled with an all but invisible Jiraiya that required dojutsu that saw chakra and sensory ninja to detect him. Unfortunately the clan of those requirements were on Jiraiya's side.

Then to pry Jiraiya out of his objectives and mind-set required a crowbar or Emna-san, as trait that was evidently inherited. "He really is there son isn't he?"

Jiraiya grunted "More skilled than I had thought he was going to be. I owe Uzuki Hari a lot…Far too much. The hatred from the village towards Naruto is immense, I fear Naruto may not be a Konoha-Nin for much longer."

Tsunade's eyes widened "Why hasn't anyone told the village?"

"Naruto's not ready. Besides should Naruto be exhiled from the village, I suspect Danzo will make a play for both Uzuki Hari and Uzumaki Naruto."

Tsunade nodded "Then first things first let us deal with our traitorous teammate and then I'll play for as much time I can give Naruto to get him into a position of power."

"By your will Hokage-Sama. I'm going to need to train Naruto hands on for a while."

Tsunade nodded.

(Naruto)

It was day four. Shizune watched transfixed as Naruto was manipulating his chakra and in such quantities that it should have cracked his coils. "Naruto-kun, enough."

Naruto looked up as the clone vanished and the orb stabilised. There was a sound of chakra layers grinding against each other. He turned and drove it into the tree. There was the sound of bark and trunk grinding and breaking and soon enough there was a perfect hole in the middle of it. "Yatta! Now, to do it with my right hand."

Shizune grabbed him "As a medical-nin, I am telling you to rest."

Naruto smirked, tensed as dizziness overtook him. He collapsed pulling off his jacket. Shizune helped him with his shirt and as she channelled chakra into her hands, her eyes widened when the seal appeared "Jin…churiki!"

Shizune leapt backwards as Naruto pulled one of his blades "How do you know of that term?"

"Tsunade-Sama taught me everything she knew. She studied fuuinjutsu to see if it can be used in medical jutsu. Her grandmother Uzumaki Mito taught her and showed her that very seal, although not that detailed. It looks like something else is involved. I'm no expert but I would say I would be a journeyman 2nd class fuuinjutsu wielder."

Naruto nodded "As you know I'm a jinchuriki. Mine gives me rapid healing. From what I've been told, my chakra coils have been cracked but they heal quickly. Same with physical injuries as well."

Shizune nodded "Fair enough." Naruto held his right hand up and he repeated the exercise. Completing the exercises in his weaker hand had provided him with the necessary skills to do it in his right hand.

However the problem was still completing the jutsu of rotating the raw power into an orb. Shizune watched as two orbs appeared in his hands, wobbled and suddenly spiralled out of existence. "Naruto-kun, what if you used one hand to rotate the chakra and the other hand to channel the chakra into it?" Suggested Shizune.

Naruto nodded and soon enough the orb of chakra appeared. As Naruto concentrated the orb finally stabilised, he pulled his hand off the orb and to his surprise it remained in existence "RASENGAN!"

Another tree had an identical hole in it. Naruto grinned, he had learnt the Rasengan but he knew he had more work to do on it. Such as make it one handed in his left hand and in his right hand, then make different sizes of it and imbuing it with the elements.

Naruto this time summoned a clone and together they formed the Rasengan with the Clone creating the outer shell with Naruto stabilising it and adding the raw power, soon enough the Rasengan was stabilised and was driven into another tree "That's that."

The other days passed relatively quickly. Naruto spent most of his time getting his ass handed to him by Jiraiya, Shizune and any of the Toads that Jiraiya summoned to teach the new Summoner the ropes.

(Tsunade and Jiraiya)

On the night of the deadline, Jiraiya and Tsunade were sitting in a sake stand. It was a comfortable silence, Jiraiya however felt that he was missing something. He knew that Tsunade and he had discussed her becoming the Kage but he didn't believe that she would.

Jiraiya knew that Tsunade was twice as stubborn as he was. "Tsunade, if you take up Orochimaru's offer…I WILL kill you both."

Tsunade snorted "Orochimaru yes, but me…really?"

"If you threaten Konoha then definitely."

Tsunade grinned a secretive smile. She had everything under control.

(Next morning)

Jiraiya groaned. He tried to mould chakra and he cursed. Tsunade had drugged him! First of all he needed to find his apprentice and Tsunade's attendant.

Naruto had just woken up to find Shizune passed out outside. Apparently from how it looked, Tsunade had incapacitated her just outside the hotel room. "Naruto, Shizune." Naruto had a blade out pointed at Jiraiya who looked for the better term 'Death warmed up'.

Soon enough a still hungover Jiraiya, a nervous Shizune and an excited Naruto rushed out of town.

(Tsunade)

Tsunade stared down at her old friend. Tsunade sighed he looked like a mess. His arms were a dark purple almost black, and he seemed to be wincing every time he moved them. "Possibly necrosis. Whatever Sensei did too him was a number."

"So, you came…" Said Orochimaru.

"Let's get this done." Tsunade replied her hands coated in blue chakra. It was time to end this.

The bespectacled accomplice of Orochimaru's moved with sudden speed and using the 'Chakra Scalpel' Jutsu deflected the attack.

"Kabuto-kun what have you done?"

"It was no healing jutsu…"
