As said before I absolutely, positively do not own NARUTO.
Gogyo Ninja
A Naruto FanFic
Last Time: Taking a deep breath Naruto relaxed his body and meditated without going into his mindscape. Kyuubi sat just like Naruto, 'I'll make you stronger Naruto. Just wait; you'll be the best ninja Konoha has ever seen.'
After meditating, Naruto went to his training ground and began his physical exercises. "Ne, Kyuubi-sensei. What other things are you going to teach me?" "Well kit. I'll be teaching you other
languages, including bijju. I'll also teach you ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, kenjutsu, and a few kinjutsu. But first you'll have to learn about chakra." "Sugoi! That's a lot Kyuubi-sensei. Can I really
learn all that?" Kyuubi chuckled. "Of course you can kit. Just listen closely, practice, and train." "Hai Kyuubi-sensei." Ending his conversation with Kyuubi he started his laps. When he was done
he went home for a shower and to get something to eat. Soon it what night and Naruto went to bed and prepared himself for lessons with Kyuubi.
In his mindscape Kyuubi smiled at his container. "All right Naruto. Come and sit and I'll start you on the different languages." Naruto nodded and rushed to sit in front of Kyuubi. Kyuubi
chuckled then sat down in front of Naruto. "Okay, let's get started." First Kyuubi went over the languages of the human realm then he talked of the languages of the bijju realm. "Did you get
all that Naruto?" Naruto nodded with wide eyes. "Sugoi Kyuubi-sensei! That was a lot!" Kyuubi nodded with a small smile. "Okay now I'm gonna school you into chakra, what it's used for,
how and when to use it, about control and the amount you should use in each jutsu. Got it?" Naruto nodded looking a bit shocked. Kyuubi grinned, "Okay first, what is chakra?" Then Kyuubi
told Naruto what chakra was. But went into a lot of detail, since Naruto was quite young. After talking about chakra and other stuff added to it, Kyuubi bid Naruto goodbye.
Naruto woke with a small yawn, rubbing his eyes sleepily. Naruto sighed, "Another day doing the same old thing. "Kyuubi chuckled. "Don't worry kit. When you're a bit older we'll work on your
chakra and the other ninja stuff. But first your body needs to be in shape so you won't be too exhausted. You'll also need strength and speed, that's why we are training so much. Not only does your
body need to be strong but so does your mind. Meditating helps with that." Naruto sighed, "Hai." "Tonight we'll work on strategy. That'll take a while. While working on strategy we'll be working on
patience. Shoji takes a lot of time and patience. So we'll do that and it'll help with both." Naruto seemed a little put out, but agreed with it none the less. Naruto got up fixed himself some toast and
a glass of milk. After eating he set out to do his training. After finishing his laps and other physical training Naruto sat down to meditate. Taking a deep breath, relaxing his body, he closed
his eyes and blocked out everything around him. Inside his mindscape Kyuubi was thinking about what else he should teach him. Then a light bulb could be seen above his head. "Ah! I
know. I'll have him train to use his other senses and not rely on his eyes."
A couple hours later Naruto opened his eyes and looked around. "Ne, Kyuubi-sensei. What should I do now?" "Hmmm. How about go bother the old man." Naruto giggled. "Hai!" With that Naruto
jumped to his feet and ran to the Hokage tower. Rushing up the stairs he stopped in front of the ANBU. "Ne, ANBU-san. Is Jiji available?" The ANBU blinked. "Uh…hai." Naruto smiled. "Then
may I please enter?" The ANBU just nodded at the young boy and stepped to the side after opening the door. "Jiji!" Sarutobi looked up and smiled. "Hello Naruto." Naruto grinned,
"Whatcha' doing Jiji?" Sarutobi sighed, "Paperwork. It's the most evil enemy ever." Naruto blinked, "Then can't someone else do it?" Sarutobi just shook his head, "I'm the Hokage, so it's my
job." Naruto looked thoughtful then shrugged, "Too bad there's not two of you, eh Jiji?" Sarutobi looked at Naruto shocked. "Nani?" Naruto looked at Sarutobi confused. "Why didn't I think
of that?!" Sarutobi exclaimed. "Think of what?" Naruto was still confused. Sarutobi grinned then made a hand sign. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Three bunshins of Sarutobi popped up. Naruto's
eyes widened. "Sugoi!" Sarutobi grinned, "Paperwork time guys." The bunshins just nodded then Sarutobi looked to Naruto. "Want some ramen?" Naruto frowned. "Can we get sushi
instead Jiji?" Sarutobi looked a little shocked, then smiled, "Of course. Just try not to eat as much sushi as you do ramen." Naruto nodded with a sheepish look. With that Naruto and
Sarutobi left the tower and went and got some sushi for lunch. After lunch Naruto decided to train some more. So he did his laps and other physical exercises. Inside his mindscape Kyuubi
smiled at how dedicated Naruto was to his training. 'He'll go far if this continues.'
That night, after supper and a shower, Naruto lay down to sleep ready for training with Kyuubi. When he entered his mindscape he saw Kyuubi setting out a shoji board. "Ah, Naruto. Just in
time. Sit across from me and I'll explain the game." Naruto walked over and sat across from Kyuubi, the board in between them. Kyuubi simply smiled. After explaining the game and telling
him that it took a lot of patience to sit through the whole game. So they would continue playing until Naruto could sit through the whole game without fidgeting or making any funny faces.
Naruto sighed, but gave a short nod. After his nod they started the game. Not even ten minutes had passed and Naruto was already fidgeting, Kyuubi looked amused. 'This is going to take
a while.' When it was time for Naruto to wake up he had lasted thirty minutes, but they still were not even close to half way through the game. "We'll try again tonight." Naruto nodded
looking annoyed making Kyuubi chuckle. "It's not funny Kyuubi-sensei. The game takes forever." Kyuubi smiled, "That's why I said this will also help with your patience. You'll get used to it.
When you're good enough, after you can sit through the whole game of course, you should play a Nara." Naruto looked confused. "Why?" Kyuubi smiled, "Because they are very good
strategists, and will most likely use shoji to help with that." Naruto nodded in understanding, "Alright. See you tonight Kyuubi-sensei." Kyuubi gave a small wave before Naruto disappeared.
When Naruto woke up he went through his daily routine. "Kit, I'll be giving you weights later today." "How are you going to do that?" Kyuubi chuckled. "These will be chakra weights not the cloth
weights, so I'll be able to put them on you from in here." "Alright Kyuubi-sensei." After lunch Kyuubi informed Naruto that he was getting ready to add the weights. Suddenly Naruto fell to the
ground face first. Kyuubi chuckled. "You'll get used to them kit. When they begin to feel like part of you I'll put more chakra into the weights." Naruto growled, "Kyuubi-sensei! Did you have to make
me fall FACE-FIRST!?" Kyuubi chuckled again. "Just worry about standing kit. Then start training with them on." Naruto sighed, "Hai, hai." After about 30 minutes, Naruto figured, he was able to
stand, even if it was a bit wobbly. When he was able to finally stand without feeling as if he was going to fall he started running his laps. About the fifth lap he started feeling the strain, but
he didn't stop. Once he reached ten laps he collapsed on his training ground. After getting his breath back he did his other physical training, then did his meditating. "Good job kit. I'm proud
that you didn't stop even though you felt the strain on your muscles." Naruto grinned, "Arigato Kyuubi-sensei." Kyuubi nodded with a smile. "You keep going like this and you'll be the best ninja
ever." Naruto smiled, "I'd like that." Kyuubi gave a small smile, "Rest now. You need it." Naruto gave a nod and he fell asleep at the training ground. Once Naruto woke up he noticed it was around
lunch time so he dragged himself home to get something to eat. After eating he starting meditating for the second time that day.
That night Kyuubi and Naruto were playing shoji again. Naruto was getting frustrated. Not because he was losing but because he didn't like sitting still this long when they were just moving
a game piece every now and again. He was bored. "Naruto, a good ninja has patience. If you have patience then you won't go rushing into a dangerous situation. Having patience gives you
time to plan a strategy. When you don't have a strategy you could get seriously injured or even worse killed. That's why ninja's should practice patience so that they can survive. I know
you don't wish to sit still for such a long time. But on some missions there will be times were you will have to sit and wait and figure out how to get into an enemy's camp. Do you
understand?" Kyuubi asked Naruto looking very serious. Naruto gulped, "Hai Kyuubi-sensei. I'll try to be more patient." Kyuubi gave a small smile, "That's good. Now it's your go." Naruto
sighed before giving Kyuubi a wry grin. By the time it was time for Naruto to wake up he actually got through half of the game. "Good job kit. Much better. Tonight let's see if you can get
farther." Naruto nodded with a smile before leaving his mindscape.
As usual, Naruto's day was filled with training and meditating. "Ne, Kyuubi-sensei. Isn't there anything else I can do?" Kyuubi looked thoughtful. "Ah, go to the library and read up on things I
haven't taught you and even things I have taught you." Naruto nodded. After talking with Kyuubi, Naruto ran to the library. Entering silently, just in case they decided to throw him out. A young
girl stepped out from the back room, "Ah, hello. Can I help you?" Naruto just shook his head, "I'm just looking. If that's okay." The girl just nodded, "Just let me know if you need anything."
Naruto gave a small nod smiling brightly. Naruto looked around and walked to a section on medical things. Naruto opened the book and skimmed the first page, and looked interested.
Grabbing a few other books on medical things, he then walked over to a small table and sat down to read. Kyuubi was a bit interested about what Naruto had decided to read about. Naruto
found this stuff very interesting, who knew that medicines could even just a little interesting. "Kit, it's getting late. You should probably head home now." "Hai." Leaving the books on the table
Naruto left the library and rushed home. It was late; it was past time for supper. But he ate anyway then climbed into bed to play shoji with Kyuubi.
When he got to his mindscape Kyuubi looked up with a smile. "Hello kit. Ready to play?" Naruto sighed but gave a small nod. While playing Kyuubi decided to bring up about what Naruto
read in the library. "Kit, was there any particular reason you read about medicine?" Naruto looked up at Kyuubi. "Hmmm. Not really. I do remember Jiji telling me about a student of his that
was famous because of her mastery of medicine and also for gambling." Kyuubi chuckled. "I should probably teach you that as well." Naruto looked confused, "Why should I learn how to
gamble?" Kyuubi looked at Naruto with a smile, "Well there are some times in life where the answer isn't obvious so you have to gamble. If you are good gambler or are particularly lucky
then your life should be pretty good. Just don't let it get to your head or you'll end up making a wrong decision." Naruto looked thoughtful then nodded. "Ne, Kyuubi-sensei. Do you know
anything about medicines?" Kyuubi gave a small nod. "Ah, I do. Since you seem interested, I'll teach you that as well." Naruto smiled, "Arigato." Kyuubi smiled at him gently, "Your welcome
Naruto." Kyuubi looked at the board, "Hmmm. Seems I've won." Then Kyuubi and Naruto blinked and stared at each other. "You finished the game!" Naruto frowned, "But Kyuubi-sensei, the
only reason I finished was because I was distracted." Kyuubi looked thoughtful then nodded. "Okay we'll do it again. But this time, no talking." Naruto nodded. After Kyuubi reset the board,
the two began a long game of shoji. Naruto fidgeted once through the whole game. They both stared at the board, "You/I finished the whole game." They looked at each other and smiled.
"You did finish, but I want you to beat me at least five times in a row." Naruto's eyes widened. "But…but you're too good!" Kyuubi chuckled, "And to think I was going easy on you." Naruto
pouted, "Aww…Kyuubi-sensei don't be mean." Kyuubi smiled, "Gomen, gomen. I'll go all out from now on and you'll just have to beat me. I won't teach you anything else until you beat me
those five times." Naruto sighed, "Hai, hai." And with that, they began another game, with Naruto wondering if he would ever beat Kyuubi.
TBC!
