(The next morning)

Naruto woke up as the sun began to rise and he loved to watch it with Kurama. So when he yawned taking in the scents in the room and didn't smell his mate's scent he took what he felt was his true form. He took on an over all dragon appearance, but there was more than a few fox like qualities like a slimmer body for a western dragon, instead of the usually large stomach, he had fur running down the center of his back, his head was more fox like and small tufts of fur jutting out of the back of his elbows and knees. His ears followed two horns as if they were apart of the horns, but they weren't he just thought it was more intimidating. His wings were covered in a fine, and velvet like fur the same colors as his hair. His scales shinned dimly in the early mourning's sun like well polished gems and his tails had a more flexible quality thanks to being half kitsune. But still sturdy enough he cold snap a fully grown evergreen redwood like a twig.

In a low growling voice filled with KI Naruto asked. "What in the hell are you doing? Uchiha." He finished releasing a completely bestial growl, fangs literally dripping with venom for a more menacing and frightening look as his lips pulled back in a snarl showing of both sets of razor sharp teeth. As soon as Naruto began to speak Sasuke started to wake up. Upon opening his eyes to the sight of a really pissed off dragon at first he was mesmerized by the dimly glistening, fire looking scales to the deep ocean blue eyes and strange six flesh like whiskers (like Shenron's whiskers) he was completely spellbound until he saw the teeth glistening with a strange purple liquid that he assumed to be some kind of venom. Sasuke screamed loud and long as he jumped away from the transformed Naruto into a corner of the room. They soon heard multiple feet running for the door to the room.

Kurama was the first to enter then Kakashi followed by Sakura, Tsunami then finally Tazuna and Inari. What they saw scared the civilians along with Sakura and surprised Kakashi it just amused Kurama. "Well Uchiha, what do you think you're doing in bed with me?" Asked Naruto with even more malice, and with the venom dripping it was a truly frightening sight, but Kurama thought the sight of Sasuke cowering in the corner was funny but he didn't laugh until he saw Sasuke's Sharingan then he bent over with laughter. Kakashi seeing Sasuke's eyes knew the image would forever be burned into his brain and took pity on him.

"Ma, ma what is all the yelling about?" Kakashi asked.

Naruto turned his draconic head and snarled out. "When I went to bed last night I was with Kurama and when I woke up it was to the Uchiha spooning me." Gold and red flames punctuating each word he finished saying. "I will be reporting this to hokage-Jiji when we return."

Sakura finally regained her senses asked. "What kind of monster are you Naruto? I bet you're the demon my Kaa-san was always talking about and now you want to eat Sasuke-kun for his sharingan." Everyone gave her the WTF look before Kurama's laughter doubled in volume as he was trying to say. "I can't breathe it's so stupid it is hilarious, I can't breathe."

While he was banging a fist on the floor and laughing his guts out. Naruto had went back to glaring at the Uchiha and said. "Well I am still waiting for an answer."' Sasuke mumbled out something so quite that neither Naruto nor Kurama could hear Kakashi read his lips and grew concerned for the Uchiha mainly he was concerned that if the Uchiha didn't stop going after Naruto, then he would end up a smear on the Hokage monument or here in Wave county, well him or Sakura. Which ever is the one to piss him off anymore than he already was, Kakashi could see it in Naruto's eyes the only thing keeping him from killing both of them was the headband identifying them as shinobi of the leaf and comrades in arms.

Kakashi once more spoke out. "Well since your all up lets get to training before breakfast is done."

Sakura groaned out. "Its to early to be up, why would anyone get up this early." Everyone in the room once again gave her the WTF look the shinobi were thinking. "Really is this girl stupid I mean really how did she become a shinobi?" Naruto made a mental note to tell the Hokage with his report and Kakashi was banging his head on the proverbial wall asking himself. "Why, why did I agree with this team?" He then noticed Naruto looking mostly human and finished his thoughts "Oh yeah Minato sensei's son. The little brat passed my test, Minato sensei would be so proud."

"Sakura your going to have to get used to waking up early." Kakashi said. Finished speaking his piece Kakashi turned and started down the hall to the stairs noticing the lack of footsteps he turned his head asking. "Are you coming?"


(later in a clearing)

Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura were lined up in front of three trees with Kakashi in between them and the trees as he explained the tree walking exercise saying. "Alright for your training you'll be climbing trees. "

Sakura interrupted. "But sensei we already know how to climb up trees."

Kakashi kept himself from hitting the stupid girl and said. "If you hadn't interrupted me, you would have known you are going to climb them without your hands." Two of the genin looked at him like he grew a second head and Kakashi just sighed and focused chakra to his feet and proceeded up the tree without breaking stride reaching a branch half way up he stood upside down on it and said. "Just channel chakra to your feet walk up the tree, use to much and you'll be blasted off and to little chakra you won't stick use a kunai to mark your progress." With that Kakashi watched as Sasuke and Sakura pulled out a kunai each and proceeded to run at the tree in front of them. Noticing Naruto did not join he raised an eyebrow and asked. "Did you not understand the training Naruto?"

Naruto said. "Of course I understood, its just I already know how to do the exercise and the ones after that like water walking, waterfall walking, kunai balancing and senbon balancing and many more chakra control exercises it was the second thing Kurama-kun taught me." And then he went poof leaving a very puzzled Kakashi, a raving banshee and a once more pissed off Uchiha. Who forgot to use chakra on his next step and fell flat on his ass.

While Sasuke and Sakura ran up trees Naruto and Kurama were in a different clearing having a pretty intense spar, Naruto was determined to win this one but Kurama was to experienced for Naruto to land anymore than a lucky strike on Kurama occasionally. Kurama spoke up. "Why didn't you kill the Uchiha, kit?"

Naruto replied with. "I can't. Not as long as we both serve the same village, Kurama and you know that."


(somewhere in a hidden base in the forest of Wave)

"We were lucky that the genin attacked his own ally Zabuza-sama." Haku said as he tended to the wounded figure laying on a bed almost to small for his size as he was applying some of the burn ointment on some bandages before wrapping it around Zabuza's arm finishing the task to help his wounds heal. After he was done the door to the base opened to reveal a small and pudgy man wearing a pinstriped suit with an elegant walking stick and two thugs looking like samurai wannabes.

"So the demon of the mist falls in battle to one long haired hippie. What happened Zabuza you were supposed to kill the bridge builder." Gato said while walking closer to the down shinobi he was about to grab him when his own wrist was grabbed in a vice like grip.

"Don't touch Zabuza-sama." Haku said so coldly frost began forming on the windows around the room and then there was a nasty crunch of bone as Haku's grip tightened around Gato's wrist and crushed the brittlely cold bones.

Zabuza simply said "Haku." Haku could hear the repermanding tone in Zabuza's voice and released Gato's wrist letting it fall causing more pain to the curupt businessman. The two thugs drew their swords and stepped forward only to have their blades taken from them and to feel the cold steel across their necks.

Haku wispered out but was easily heard in the quite room. "Don't mess with me today I'm in a bad mood." with the return of their swords all three left with Gato saying. "You'll regret breaking my arm you bitch."

Haku sighed and retuned to Zabuza's side mumbling "Bastard I'm not a girl." Hearing Zabuza's chuckling he dropped his head looking down in depression.


(back with Naruto)

Naruto was once again practicing with his scythe getting down the movements so he could flow from one stance to another or deviate from offensive to defensive stances at a moments notice like the water in a river when a large enough rock is dropped in. He was doing this by fighting several kage bushins of himself he continued on late into the night as the lack of light didn't bother him with his superior eye sight Naruto could see everything as if it were still daylight. But he eventually knocked himself out, well a kage bushin did with the pole end of the scythe.


(the next morning)

Haku was out gathering herbs he was trying to find something to help soothe the burns but nothing he tried seemed to work very well and it was frustrating Haku as he felt like he was failing Zabuza. Haku was going to a little clearing he knew had some herbs good for treating burns were but as he entered the clearing Haku froze as he looked upon the fabled Kyuubi no Yoko, it was sleeping as far as he could tell, Haku thought about leaving but the kitsune was in the middle of a patch of herbs that Haku was after so calming his nerves he ventured closer to the patch and started to pick what he could get to, without waking up the Kyuubi feeling his nerves ease as he grabbed the herbs. Haku didn't know Kurama was watching him since he had entered the clearing.

Naruto began to stir and released a yawn as he stretched feeling Kurama's fur surrounding him was a delightful way to wake up he then said. "Good morning Kurama-kun do you know who our guest is?"

"Good mourning my love and no Naru-chan I don't know who our guest is he just walked into the clearing and started to pick herbs." Kurama replied. Haku was so startled by the sudden conversation that he jumped scattering the herbs he had gathered seeing what happened Naruto started to pick up the scattered herbs saying. "Sorry I didn't mean to scare you my name is Uzumaki Naruto what is your name?"

"Haku, my name is Haku it is nice to meet you Naruto chan if I may be so bold why are you out here and why did you speak with the Kyuubi with such affection?" Haku replied and asked of Naruto.

"Well Haku that is because we're mates and I was out here last night practicing with my scythe until one of my kage bushins scored a hard blow to my lower jaw with the pole of the scythe and I went down for the rest of the night."
