As Naruto woke up fully, after his dive into the seal and meeting the Nine-Tails.
He got straight to training with Fenrir, who had nothing else to do that day.
They started with the chains, which proved to be difficult.
An hour later, he could summon them on command without fail, but keeping them out was a struggle.
Two hours and a lot of tripping later, he could move around carefully and keep the chains out.
An hour after that, he finally was able to move around and move the chains.
And it was this exercise in controlling the Chakra constructs and keeping his mind sharp and focused, that finally allowed him to push past the bottle neck, albeit he was only just past it.
After a combined time of 7 hours of nothing but, Summoning, Moving, and dispersing the Chains, Naruto moved onto his regular training.
His physical training had come along way, and with his Uzumaki Stamina growth, he was able to keep going for nearly as long as Fenrir, but Fenrir still had a good few hours on him.
Soaring Kunai had gotten to two Handsigns, And he could now nearly curve the Kunai mid air in a 90-degree angle, effectively turning a Corner with a Kunai. This was after another 2 hours of work.
He then started with learning the basics of a Water release Jutsu.
Water Bullet, was a weak shot of water that would only do damage if the Twhcniwue was pumped full of extra chakra, which Naruto was very good at.
The technique was simple to learn, but it took him the rest of the day to train with it till he got it down to 4 hand signs.
And so, with it being nearly dinner time by the time Naruto Finished and felt exhausted from Chakra use, that he plopped on to the couch and finally started to rest.
But that didn't last long.
Fenrir appeared before Naruto as he was about to close his eyes, and dragged him to the front gate
"Whats happening?" Naruto asked, as he wiggled out of Fenrirs grip and walked beside him.
"It just happened, but A Rouge Ninja by the name of Orochimaru, has had a defect in his ranks" Fenrir informed him
"Why is this important?" Naruto asked.
"Because the defecting Nin has arrived a Konoha, and is now being transported here with Kakashi, Hiruzen and a few guards"
Naruto was shocked at Fenrir's words, "Why bring them here?"
"Becuase this is the home of Ko oha's best seal master, and we might be able to help her..." Fenrir went on to explain what he had been told about the situation.
Anko Mitarashi, a Poison expert who had been a Student of Orochimaru before he had became a rouge min, had showed up at the Gates of the village, seeking aid becusse she had been branded with a Seal.
She refused to talk to anybody other than Hiruzen, and when he arrived on scene, she broke down and asked to make a deal, pleading with the Hokage to accept.
To be allowed back in the village, and to resume her work as a Shinobi, If she spilled everything she knew about her former teacher.
Apparently she had realised too late that Orochimaru wasn't as caring as she perceived him to be, and when she realised the true nature of the seal she had been branded with, she did her best to run and come straight to Konoha.
Naruto didn't like the sound of the situation, But apparently Kakashi was the one who offered her the Uzumaki Seal Masters services, and had vouched for her.
They knew each other from a long time ago, and from what Fenrir said, he seems to have a small crush on the violet haired Poisoner.
Naruto chuckled at that, and as they arrived at the Gates, Tengan already there with a bag of Seal supplies, the group of Shinobi had just arrived.
Hiruzem greeted us as Naruto led him towards the closet house to the gate, which had been unused till now.
Anko was a beautiful woman, she had long Purple hair that was tied into a ponytail. She wore a Shinobi Chain Shirt, Shorts and a long brown coat, and under neah the collar of the left side, Naruto felt the Seal that these had been branded with.
He felt disgusted just by feeling it, and he didn't even know what it did.
But as Tengan sat Anko down and examined the seal, his expression was filled with Disgust and Horror.
"The Seal... It is a brand on her very soul. It has a part of Orochimaru's soul in it, and works by corrupting chakra and making it more potent. But the soul piece in the seal... It will also corrupt her mind if used too much or not sealed properly. She will become dependant in the seals power, and become more corrupt and vile as she uses it. Orochimaru... Has truly tried his best to make the sela permanent... And as far as I can see, he did a good job"
Anko froze at his last words, "can it be removed?" she asked, her voice weak and trembling.
Tengan looked over the seal once more, "If I can crack the way he branded you, and if I had enough time to Make and prepare the right Sealing formation. I could very well remove it with minimal damage... But I am not good at these sorts of Seals... It will take a long while to work on the necessary Seals for the process" Tengan Addmitted.
"But it can be done?" Hiruzen asked, speaking for the first time.
Tengan nodded, "My master could do it in a heartbeat, but he is going and I am not him... The seals are just too complex and interconnected. One wrong move, and I could very much trigger one of the numerous fail safes and dead switched that have been placed in the seal" Tengan said.
Anko began to cry, and Kakashi moved to her side to counsel her.
Hiruzen gestured for us to follow him out the building, and Fenrir and I did so.
"I'm afraid that she will be a liability of not watched... She has information that we could use. But her want to be reinstated as a Shinoni will not work, even if Kakashi vouched for her" He said.
"Then what do you want to do?" Naruto asked.
Hiruzem hesitated for a second, "Inoichi will be called in and will do a forceful mind breach, he will collect all the info... And we will leave Anko's mind broken and in pieces" Hiruzen said.
Fenrir frowned and so did Naruto.
"That isn't very fair. She can, be here to offer her info in exchange for help... She made a mistake, but she doesn't deserve to be defined by it" Fenrir said.
Hiruzen frowned, "It would take too much to convince the Village she is on our side, and she never had the most... Friendly personality. And the fact she had defected once will cast doubt on her loyalty"
Naruto was angry.
Sure Anko had betrayed the village, but she was back now begging for help.
It didn't sit right with him to just break open her mind and turn her into a Broken husk.
"... What if we took her in?" Naruto asked.
Fenrir looked at Naruto in surprise and so did Hiruzen.
"If Tengan can seal off the Brand, and make it impossible for her to be influenced by the seal, and I inducted her into the clan, and I vouched for her... Could she stay?" Naruto asked.
"... I suppose... But it would mean a single slip up, and the Village would be out for her head, and would be demanding Your clan pay reparations" Hriuzen stated.
Naruto looked at Fenrir, his eyes field with determination.
Fenrir chuckled at his young Summoner's look.
"Kakashi will be her watcher, Tengan will seal off the brand, and you Naruto... Will be the one to wipe the brand away" Fenrir said.
Naruto nodded, "If I can help her by learning how to, I'll become the best seal master to ever walk this earth" Naruto said with determination.
Hiruzen sighed and nodded, Fenrir side hugging Naruto.
"Then I shall make the preparations" Hiruzen said.
.

.
Anko had been informed of the deal that had been struck, as that she would now be apart of the Uzumaki Clan and would work as one of their Shinobi.
She was doubtful that Naruto had good intentions, but Kakashi argued that, and once Fenrir swore on his life that Naruto would keep his word, Anko agreed, tears welling up in his eyes.
Anko Kneeled before Naruto and Fenrir.
"Thank you... For everything! I promise I will not fail, and I will not disappoint!" She said.
Naruto Helped Anko up and showed her to the main house.
She was given a room next to Kakashi's, and went to rest.
She had had a big couple of days after all, with the running for her life, and not sleeping or eating much.
Fenrir said he needed to go and Relax with some Alcohol, and went to his room where he kept his private Stash of the really strong stuff.
Kakashi wanted to stay and guard her room, But Naruto dragged him to the kitchen and made him help prepare some food for her.
She would be very hungry when she woke up, and it would be best to have the food ready.
And so, with Kakashi knowing that her favourite food was Dango, Naruto and him started to prepare both a large assortment of filling, nutritious food, and some Dango's for later.
