Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto just this story

It's been a few days since Naruto left the hospital he's now walking through Konoha when he sees kids playing with toys as he watches them he sees there toys of himself and he sighs "I can't believe Anko has every toy she's so childish."

He turns around to walk away when he stops when he sees Ino and Sakura he still can't find his mask damn Anko hid it he knows it that damn women, He turns again when he hears his name he sighs knowing it's Sakura's voice he looks around "What."

Sakura and Ino stop next to him Sakura smiles "How are you feeling."

He sighs "I'm fine."

Ino smirks "You know Naruto you have a massive fan base here girls just want to well let's just say they probably want to rape that amazing body of yours."

Naruto sighs "That's what the damn mask was for that to hide me, damn Snake women hid it."

Sakura smiles "I heard you took down some Akatsuki members."

Naruto nods "Three would have killed Itachi if that damn Zetsu hadn't have turned up."

Ino grins "So I heard you got your own team, spooky Team Shadow I heard it's called with you Anko-Sensei and a member of ANBU surrounding yourself with hot women Naruto didn't know you were so perverted."

Naruto sighs "I'd rather work alone but that damn snake women won't leave me alone."

Ino grins "You talk like you hate her but you live with her and from what I've heard share a bed with her must say your working quick."

Naruto sighs "Is there a point to this whole conversation."

Sakura smiles "We're just asking how you are you was my old teammate after all."

Naruto nods "Fine well I have to go."

Ino grins "You know my little niece she's in love with you, she has all your toys and posters of you all over her room you couldn't sign an autograph for her please for me."

Naruto sighs "I should never have come back here everyone's insane."

Ino pulls out a little picture and passes it to Naruto he looks at it and groans it's small poster of him with his duel great swords. Sakura passes him a pen with a smirk.

Naruto sighs and takes the pen "This is ridiculous" He sighs his name (The Shadow) He then passes it to Ino.

She smiles "The Shadow I thought it was The Black Phantom."

Naruto sighs "The name sucks The Shadow is better."

Ino shrugs "It does sound creepier and goes well with your new team name."

Just then Ino hears her name "Auntie Ino there you are."

Ino smirks Speak of the devil "Naruto this is my niece I was talking to you about Anya this is Naruto The Black Phantom or The Shadow as he prefers."

The girl now known as Anya looks up and blushes Oh my god I can't believe I'm this close to The Shadow my friends will be so jealous "Hello Shadow-San."

Naruto likes kids so he smiles "Hello Anya I hear you have all my action figures."

She nods "Yep my friends are so jealous."

Ino smiles "Here Anya." She passes her the signed photo and she hugs it "Thanks, Shadow-San."

Anya grins "I have to go rub it in my friends faces "Bye Auntie Ino, Sakura-Chan, Shadow-San."

They all watch her go and Sakura and Ino turn to Naruto, Ino smirks "You act all scary but your really a big softie."

Naruto raises an eyebrow "To kids sure not to others I have to go."

Before they get a chance to speak he vanishes. Ino grins "Man if I wasn't with Lee I'd totally be with Naruto and I saw you checking out his body when you were healing him he's got a better body then Sasuke-Kun and Lee."

Sakura blushes "He does not and I was healing my former teammate I wasn't drooling over him."

Ino grins "Whatever you say forehead whatever you say."

Naruto appears in the forest of death and groans "Damn toys and fangirls."

He hears a chuckle and turns around and sees Yūgao "Uzumaki-San's afraid of fangirls."

Naruto sighs "Shut it you better not have the toys like Anko."

Yūgao grins "Not yet but there's plenty of time but onto other things your fighting styles in our fight was amazing a different fighting style for the Katana's and another with the twin great swords."

Naruto nods "Oh I guess I never showed you the fighting style with my Guan Dao."

She smirks "What else do you use."

He shrugs "Knives, Throwing Axes, Tonfa's a spear although don't use it much although I can fight quite well with it."

Yūgao smirks "You've been busy last I saw you, you only used Kunai or Shuriken's."

Naruto nods "Things change so you want to train with what."

She grins "Well let's start with Katana and work our way up, I heard Anko's interrogating someone so she'll meet us later I have a better training ground though follow me."

Naruto nods and follows Yūgao and they arrive at Training ground 40 it's a wide open space Naruto looks around "Not bad wide open space, not bad let's begin."

He does some handsigns "Tajuu Kage Bunshin No Jutsu" 100 clones appear Naruto unseals all his weapons One clone picks up the Guan Dao and walks off the clone does some handsigns and the 19 with him pull out their own Guan Dao, another one picks up the spear and does the same and 19 clones pull out the spear. The same thing happens with the throwing axes, the Tonfas, and the knives.

Yūgao watches in amazement They all have their own unique, fighting styles she's impressed. Naruto looks at her so you ever used Duel Katana."

She nods "Yea but not often."

He nods "Well let's get started on the stances and stuff, of course, it will be harder I can use shadow clones it makes me learn things quicker can you make any."

She nods "I can make 10 clones but it wastes quite a lot of Chakra."

He nods "Create 6 one to spar with me whilst you watch the other five to spar with the other weapon clones."

She nods "Good idea "Kage Bunshin No Jutsu."

Naruto smirks "Shadow clones good" He does a few handsigns and then touches each clone I've just put more chakra into them so one hit won't destroy them it should keep them in combat for a while."

She nods and sends the five clones to the clones with each weapon one of each of the clones gives the Yūgao clone a weapon and they start going through the styles. Naruto starts sparing with the last clone whilst Yūgao watches carefully.

What they don't know is a certain weapons user happened to pass the training ground and she's watching this in awe she walks into the training ground she stops next to Yūgao who just smiles at her and they both watch in awe. After 15 minutes Naruto summons another clone to take over to fight the Yūgao, Katana clone and they start fighting.

Naruto sees Yūgao and Tenten he nods "Tenten."

She smiles "Hey Naruto wow you have different styles for each weapon."

Naruto nods "Oh I almost forgot the greatswords Tajuu Kage Bunshin No Jutsu 20 more clones appear and one of the clones picks up the Greatswords. Naruto turns to Yūgao "Do you want to create another I must remind you these swords are heavy very heavy."

Yūgao smiles "Nah it's OK the other styles I can master."

Naruto turns to Tenten "I have mastered all those different styles some took longer than others."

Tenten grins "That's so cool as you know I love weapons I'd love to see the weapons."

Naruto nods "Hold on" He Shunshin's to each group and takes a weapon from one clone from each group then returns to Tenten and Yūgao and places them on the ground.

Tenten starts off with the Katana, of course, she's used that before. She tries lifting the Greatsword but can't so she gives up she then uses the knives she likes the feel of those there light but sharp.

She then tests the Tonfa's she likes the feel of those also. She next tries the throwing axes there light and sharp she throws one into a tree and it leaves a sharp split in the tree she smirks then retrieves the Axe then replaces it. She does try wielding the duel Katana as she's never done that and she likes the feel of them.

Lastly, she tries the Guan Dao she marvels at the design a black pole with an animal design near the blade and she notices it's a fox she starts swinging it around marveling at the power it's quite heavy but not too heavy she's impressed. She places it down and sits down. The clones come to retrieve their weapons and continue training.

As there still talking Maito Guy and Rock Lee arrive they see what's going on and marvel at the show Maito sees Tenten with a smile on her face and grins Tenten and her weapons she must be in her element here.

Naruto senses them and nods to them and they both nod back they walk up to Naruto and watch. Guy-Sensei grins "THE SPIRIT OF YOUTH GROWS EVER STRONG.

Naruto nods "If you say so say you're classed as one of the strongest Jōnin follow me Guy-Sensei you to Lee." He leads them over to the Greatsword clones. He takes the greatswords from one of the clones "Try and lift this as you saw I can wield them both."

Maito takes the sword A very heavy blade but not impossible "A heavy blade Naruto-San."

Naruto nods "Try wielding them both at the same time."

Maito takes the other sword he grins but even he's sweating "I MUST SAY NARUTO THE STRENGTH OF YOUTH GROWS EVER LARGER IN YOU."

Naruto nods "You want to try Lee."

Lee nods lift's one up but barely he's sweating a lot "I must say Naruto-Kun I can barely lift one."

Naruto nods and takes the sword from both Lee and Maito and starts swinging them around doing some Kata's then he grabs the cloth at the bottom and starts swinging them like a whirlwind he does some spins as well he then slows down and stops and passes them back to the clone which continues training.

By now Anko's arrived and she's shocked just when she thinks she's seen it all Naruto-Kun surprises her again. Naruto Guy and Lee return to the others.

Anko grins "Man Naruto-Kun there's going to be more action figures when they find out you can use these weapons also."

Naruto sighs Why do I have a feeling that Anko's the one who's supplying this Info on me "Glad you're here create Six clones or Seven if you want to train with the Greatswords."

Anko creates six and Naruto does like before putting Chakra in the clones before they join the groups training whilst the real Anko watches.

Gai and Lee smile "We will see you later keep up your youthfulness Naruto."

They both walk off leaving. Naruto, Anko, Yūgao and Tenten to watch. Naruto looks at Tenten "Tenten which did you like the feel of most."

She grins "Well I liked them all the Tonfa's felt great as did the throwing axes but the Guan Dao was amazing."

Naruto nods "Why don't you join in test how to fight with it unfortunately only the shadow clone retains the memories I'm afraid."

Tenten smiles "That's OK." She stands up and jogs over to the Guan Dao clones the clone gives her the weapon and another one of the clone show's her the style there doing after a while she starts sparring with one of the clones.

Anko grins "Why did you let her do that."

Naruto shrugs "She loves weapons I don't expect her to be as good as what we will be but a weapon like that could help her."

Anko nods "I heard you met Ino's Niece what did Ino said she calls you oh yes Shadow-San."

Naruto nods "A nice girl definitely a Yamanaka."

Anko grins "Of course Shadow-Sama."

Yūgao grins "We must learn everything from you Shadow-Sempai."

Naruto rolls his eyes "Yūgao dispel your clones one at a time."

She nods and does that and she smiles "Wow that was amazing."

Naruto nods "I'd say we do the same thing every day for a week then we go on missions or something."

Yūgao nods "Sounds like a plan."

Naruto nods "So which weapon would you use other than your Katana."

Yūgao thinks "I'd say the Tonfa's and the knives with a second Katana of course."

Tenten comes back "Wow that's tiring."

Naruto nods "Tenten there's a weapon shop the Higarushi's do you know it."

Tenten laughs "I do my dad owns it why."

Naruto nods "Do you think your dad could make some of my weapons specifically two sets of Tonfa's another Katana, Throwing Axes, and the Knives."

Tenten nods "Yea it might take time though."

Naruto nods "I understand"

Anko grins "I want the Tonfa's to plus the throwing axes damn I want a set of them all The Guan Dao is a sweet blade."

Tenten smiles "I can ask my dad for the order might ask him to make a Guan Dao for myself maybe loose a bit of the weight but that's it."

Naruto nod's I'll stop by tomorrow."

Tenten smiles "I'll let him know I have to go bye, Naruto, Anko-Sensei, ANBU-San."

Naruto nods "Anko dispel your clones one at a time."

She nods and does just that she grins "Man I can't wait for my own versions."

Yūgao smiles "Oh Naruto how come Guy struggled to lift them."

Naruto smiles "Oh yea I forgot they have gravity seals on them maybe I should have told them about that."

Anko grins "Yea that might have been wise we should celebrate with Dango as team Shadow is going to kick Ass."
