Chapter 002; The Beginning of Training.
"How can you possibly associate this filth with on of Konoha's founding clans!?" A civilian asked jumping up and pointing an accusing finger at Naruto who groaned.
The other civilians began to argue with Hiruzen. Saying how either, 'The demon should not be associated with the Senju clan' and 'It's a lie he's a demon'.
Truth be told Naruto was getting annoyed and sighed. He turned to Hiruzen who seemed to be almost on the brink of a mental breakdown. Naruto cleared his throat.
They still began to quarrel. The Shinobi side and the elders were simply staring at him. He blushed from the attention and passed a hand through his blonde locks.
"Honorable council." He said. No answer: a tick mark appeared on his forehead in anger from being ignored. He glanced at Hiruzen who was just resting his head in his arm that was propped by his elbow.
"ENOUGH!" Naruto yelled silencing the council. They turned to him and glared making him sweat a little. He was about to apologize when Hiruzen spoke up.
"Thank you Naruto." Hiruzen said then turned to the council. All of whom stared right back at him with disdain. The Shinobi were at least reasonable with the situation while he felt Danzo and his teammates would snap at any minute. Hiruzen gave a nod of his head signalising them to begin their question in an orderly fashion and don't asked random shit. The first civilian to speak was a pink haired woman.
"Hokage-sama, I am sure, the rest of the council like my self wishes for proof, particularly a blood test." She said and Hiruzen turned to Naruto and let out a chuckle.
Hiruzen took out a scroll from his Hokage robes and unsealed the contents. Out came a file. Inside the folder was one sheet of paper. It was a blood test. He smirked as he passed it around. It lingered by his teammates and rival longer that tells others but he made no comment.
Once the file had returned to its confines in the scroll Hiruzen placed it back into his pocket and cleared his throat. He took a sip of his water and turned to Naruto.
"A blood test was done with blood from my past student; Tsunade Senju and Naruto-kun." Hiruzen stated. "It was determined that he is either a cousin or first cousin."
"So, who are his parents?" Koharu Utatane asked. Naruto's attention was now fully on Hiruzen whose eyes lazily gazed towards Naruto and then he smirked.
"His mother was Kushina Uzumaki and his father was…sorry Naruto Im not telling you." Hiruzen said making Naruto and the rest of the council face fault.
"I don't understand Hokage-sama." Hiashi said with a sweat drop.
"Well, Naruto is a smart boy." Hiruzen explained. "I want him to figure out who his father is by himself." Naruto groaned and placed a hand on his chin and began to think.
Hiruzen snickered then noticed that one of the clan heads was eyeing Naruto carefully. The man watched Hiruzen then glanced to the picture of the Yondaime in the corner of the room. Hiruzen only gave a slight nod.
The man smirked, rather lazily I might add. He reclined in his chair and gazed at Naruto. Naruto threw his hands up in frustrating. Hiruzen chuckled at the scene.
"Please tell me Old Man?" Naruto pleaded but Hiruzen only shook his head. Naruto grumbled something incoherent and then turned to look at the council then back at the Hokage.
"Can we get back on track here, I have a lot of training to do." Naruto said a little irritated.
"Well, there's nothing much more to say, an ANBU will meet you later tonight to move your things into the Senju compound." Hiruzen told him. Naruto sighed and pointed to the door asking if he could go.
Hiruzen nodded and Naruto turned and off rather irritated and confused as to why Hiruzen wouldn't just tell him who his father was. Damn. He had a lot of research to do.
Later: Training Ground Two; Konohagakure
Naruto stretched and worked out some kinks in his back and neck. He sighed as he sat cross legged in the center of the clearing and lay back on his back taking in the fresh air.
He took in his surroundings of the training ground and smiled. It had a waterfall behind him. He was surrounded by lush trees and a wooden stump in the middle of the grounds.
He let out another sigh as he stood up and unsealed the contents of his scroll only to hear his stomach growl. He made two clones and sent them for ramen.
He took up the first book he saw which happened to be a book on Chakra control and began to read. But, before he could start his stomach growled again making him punch it. He sighed and began to read.
Chapter One; Basics of Chakra.
Chakra is the power that Shinobis use to do various Nin, Gen, Tai, Kin, Ken, Fuin, Bo and Boku Jutsu. Each Jutsu uses some form of Chakra for the various forms and/or activities.
•Ninjutsu: Ninjutsu or Ninja Techniques is the ability to incorporate Chakra into Techniques. There are five elements that Ninjutsu can be derived from, Fire, Wind, Lightning, Earth and Water. These are call affinities, they can be tested by Chakra Paper. Affinities also have betters and leaders. Fire is stronger than Wind which is stronger that Lightning, Lightning os stronger than Earth and Earth is stronger that Water.
•Genjutsu: Genjutsu or illusionary Techniques is the ability to trap people in fake worlds. Genjutsu requires good stealth, a lot of Chakra control and small Chakra reserves. There are many ways to do Genjutsus. The Sharingan is able to cast and break Genjutsu, Genjutsu can also be cast by hand seals. Genjutsu can be broken by three means; Disrupting Chakra flow, Forcing Chakra into the target and pain.
•Taijutsu: Taijutsu or Body Techniques is the ability to fight hand to hand combats. Chakra can also be incorporated into this type of fighting by using the five elements. You can add any elements into a punch or kick to increase the effect of the hit causing more damage.
•Kinjutsu: Kinjutsu or Forbidden Techniques are techniques that are not open to the public. Only certain Shinobis can have access to Forbidden Techniques as some cause harm to both the user and the victim. Certain Kinjutsus can kill the user and target, cause internal or external damage to the user while harming the target and some can cause mental breakdowns from over use.
•Kenjutsu: Kenjutsu or Sword Techniques are techniques that requires a sword. Chakra can be mixed with the slices and dices of a sword to add extra effect and sharpness to the blade making it easier to kill. Swords are to be taken care of and kept in pristine condition in order to avoids rust or dents of the blade.
•Fuinjutsu: Fuinjutsu or Sealing Techniques are when paper and sealing ink is used to form a variety of seals for different purposes. There are fifty sealing levels. A seals' difficulty is based on the level, it can also be removed by a Sealing practician of a higher level.
•Bojutsu: Bojutsu or Staff Techniques is the ability to use staffs to a great proportion. Chakra can be added to the swings of a staff just like a sword but the damage would be less because swords are sharp and staffs are not.
•Bokujutsu: Bokujutsu or WeaponTechniques is the ability to throw countless of weapons easily and without to many complications. Bokujutsu practitioners can also be skilled in Ken and Bo Jutsu as those are forms of weapons. Chakra can be used to control weapons with Chakra wire.
Naruto groaned as he finished the first page of the book. It was easy enough to to understand but he only had a month and he could read out those entire books in a month. He was about to continue when he froze.
He looked around and raised a brow. He just had a feeling he was in hot water. He turned to his left when he was a wet clone running with two bowls of ramen.
"What happened?" Naruto asked standing up. The clone placed the ramen take out bowls on the ground and began to pant with hands on knees. He then looked the original dead in the eye.
"We were running threw Konoha when a civilian tripped the other clone, all the ramen spilled and I was only able to save two bowls." It answered with a pant.
"Shadow Clones get tired?" Naruto asked and the Clone stopped dead in its tracks as well. It scratched it head and looked around sheepishly. It turned to the original to see him sweating madly.
"It's because you're sweating, we feel what you feel…I think." It is explained and Naruto passed his palm on his forehead to see he was indeed sweating.
He made another clone and sent it into the trees to play Rock Paper Scissors with the other. He told them to play until one wins then disperse. They nodded and left.
Two minutes later Naruto found out the new clone had lost after six drawn games which made Naruto get a wicked smirk. He filled the training grounds with clones. It was at least five hundred clones.
"I want all of you to break into groups of a hundred." Naruto explained and they did so. He made five more clones and had each stand in front of a group. "You will all do what the leader says and I will tell you when to disperse as to not kill me." Naruto said remembering the phrase about mental breakdowns.
Naruto had a short conversation with the clones and had decided that two from each group would read out the books-except his Icha Icha-while the others practiced either Chakra Control, Fuinjutsu, Taijutsu, Kenjutsu Kata's with sticks and meditating.
He was only doing the last one because of what Hiruzem had told him about meditation was a good way to clear your mind. So Naruto at his two bowls of ramen and waited for the next eight hours to pass.
Meanwhile: Hokage's Office; Hokage Tower
A figure jumped through one of the many windows in the Hokage's office. He glanced around to see the Hokage reading an orange covered book which made him let out a perverted giggled breaking Hiruzen's train of thought.
"Ah, hello Jiraiya-kun." Hiruzen said as he placed the book away and leaned forward to talk to his old student.
Jiraiya was a tall man with waist-length, spiky white hair usually tied back into a pony tail, with two shoulder-length bangs that framed both sides of his face. He also had red lines that ran down from his eyes and wore a horned forehead protector with the kanji for "oil" (油, abura), which denotes his affiliation with Mount Myōboku. He also had a noticeable wart on the left side of his nose. Jiraiya wore a green short shirt kimono and matching pants; under which he wore mesh armor that showed out of the sleeves and legs of his outfit. His outfit was completed with hand guards, a simple black belt, traditional Japanese geta (wooden sandals), a red haori with two simple yellow circles on each side, and a scroll on his back. He also had a tattoo in his left palm which resembles one that Gama has in his as well.
He sighed he slipped a paper to Hiruzen. Hiruzen read over its contents and let out a low growl. It seemed his evil student had been continuing his experiments, even after fleeing Konoha.
"Anything new you want to fill me in on?" Jiraiya asked. He did this every time he came. He would report to Hiruzen, ask about Naruto and then leave for another three years.
"Well." Hiruzen stated with a sigh. "He knows about Kushina, his Senju linage and is currently trying to guess who his father is because I refuse to tell hem." Hiruzen and chuckled at the last part. He then noticed the distant look on Jiraiya's face.
Hiruzen let a small smile grace his lips as he knew what Jiraiya was thinking. "I know what you're thinking." He said and Jiraiya turned to him with a 'humph'.
"You never cease to amaze me do you sensei?" Jiraiya asked and Hiruz n could only shrug.
"You can do it if you want, however…" Hiruzen stated with Jiraiya's eyes on him. "You have to keep running the spy network."
Jiraiya took the thought into his mind. Could he do both?
"Very well sensei, I will be leaving for the next two weeks then I will return and take up the brat as my apprentice." Jiraiya said as he walked over to the window sill.
Hiruzen nodded and Jiraiya was gone into the night. Hiruzen let out a harsh breath. The civilian council was going to have a cow.
Eight Hours Later: Yamanaka Residence; Konohagakure
Naruto smiled as he ring the doorbell for the Yamanaka residence. The house wasn't too big nor to small. It was just enough for a Shinobi clan with their numbers.
Naruto was dressed casually in a black muscle t-shirt and black jeans with his forehead protector around his arm. It wasn't a necessity but he felt naked without it.
He had received a message from a Yamanaka stating that Inoichi; the clan head requested his presence.
As the door opened Naruto came face to face with a familiar female. She had her platinum blonde hair in a a high pony tail with bangs covering the right side of her face. She wore a purple t-shirt that went midriff and purple jeans which Naruto found rather amusing.
"Naruto?" She asked with a raised eyebrow then noticed that on his arm was the Senju clan insignia making her jaw drop to the ground then come back up.
"Hi Ino." He said casually with his eyes on her. She was taller than him by about an inch or too but her frame was rather petite, except for her assets of course that printed it in the shirt she wore. He blushed as he observed her but luckily for him she didn't notice.
"You're the Senju clan heir?" She asked and Naruto only nodded his head. He was about to speak but she stopped him. "Does that mean you are noble and have a lot of money?" She asked squealing slightly.
"Yes." He admitted and she turned and gestured for him to walk in. "Please don't make a big deal out of it." He pleaded and she only nodded and told her to follow.
"Do you know why you are here?" She asked and Naruto shook his head negatively. "My dad invited Shikamaru and Chouji along with their parents, my dad said something about discussing politics over dinner." She explained and he nodded silently.
He had known something like this would happen sooner or later. He had forced the clones to drill everything into their…his head. It worked. He knew what to talk about. Politics were strictly politics.
As Ino led him into the dining room he saw that everyone was already waiting for him. So he sat in the chair Ino gestured for him and she sat next to him.
"Naruto?" Both Shikamaru and Choji asked completely shocked.
"Hey guys." He replied and they both kept staring at him. "Before you ask, I am the Senju clan heir and the Uzumaki clan heir, don't make a big deal out of it." He said and they only stared some more.
"So you're pretty much like Sasuke?" Choji asked making Naruto's happy face turn into a scowl.
"I may have some nobility but I'm not pompous and bossy like that arrogant idiot." Naruto said and was surprised when Ino didn't hit him upside the head for disrespecting 'her' Sasuke-kun.
"Anyway." Inoichi said and and the heads turned to him. "Naruto-dono, we requested you presence for two reasons, one, to form an alliance ship for our clans and to tell you everything we know about Kushina." He said perking Naruto's interest. The other Genin were confused with the last part but kept quiet.
"Don't I have to be a clan head to form alliance ship?" He asked and all clan heads shook their heads 'no'.
"Once you are the last person in the village from that clan we can discuss these things with you, we even tried Sasuke but the brat said and I quote, 'My clan is the best and doesn't need any help'." Choza said and Naruto chuckled.
"That pretty much sound like him." He said just as Ino's mother brought the dinner. Naruto looked around and saw that the time was six meaning he still had time before the ANBU was to meet him.
The meal consisted of rice, chicken, pork, salads and you'll never believe it…ramen. All the people were shocked when Naruto ate sixteen bowls of ramen.
After the dinner Naruto sat in Inoichi's den with Shikaku and Choza and their spouses. The other were outside either cleaning up and/or watching clouds.
A silencing Jutsu was placed and they talked about endless politics and it even went as far as suggesting a marriage contract between Naruto and Ino which the boy blushed in embarrassment then Inoichi said it was a joke.
So now we find Naruto walking down the road with the Ino-Shika-Cho formation. All was quiet except for the munches of Choji and his chips.
"Hey Ino." Naruto called and his fellow blonde looked at him. "Do you train regularly?" He asked and she looked down.
"I can't train so much, I will get bulky and Sasuke-kun will go after forehead." She said and he sighed with a shake of his head.
"That's not really important, being a fan girl is not a good hobby, it could get you killed, you also need to eat regularly, when you answered the door for me your body looked a little petite for a Kunoichi." He explained.
"So Naruto, you were checking out my body?" She asked with a blush and he question made him blush as well.
"How about I give you some tips and whatnot, I can even help you train." He suggested and she began to think it over.
She looked hesitant but shrugged. If it could help her get Sasuke-kun and be a strong Kunoichi she was taking the offer. She nodded to him.
By this time they had reached his apartment and he walked up the steps them yelled back at her. "Meet me at training ground two in a week."
She nodded and walked off with Shika and Choji who had been watching the altercation in slight amusement.
The next month was going to be one hell of a shit!
