The third chapter is here at last! Well, it's great that I've got over 800 hits in two days! This is even better than Of Demons and Coordinators and its New and Improved version!
Also, here are the pairings for the story:
NarutoxKoyuki
ShinosukexAmaya(OCxOC)
Mamoru(OC)xFubuki
I don't know if Naruto should have another pairing.
So, without further ado, Phase 03 is here!
Phase 03: The Hardened Warrior Under the Red Dawn
Naruto and the other Yuki shinobi turned around to see the entire Akatsuki glancing on them. Mamoru activated his Sharingan as the other figure also activated his Sharingan.
"So, Itachi. We meet again." Mamoru said as Itachi nodded. "What do you guys want?"
"We want to offer a permanent truce with this country and its shinobi village." Itachi replied as Shinosuke glared at the elder Uchiha. "I know about my two cousins that are in your team, Mamoru-itoko."
"Yeah, so you'd better explain why you are here. I thought you came here to catch us for the extraction of the bijuu." Shinosuke said angrily. Pein was the one that replied back.
"I am here because I sensed my nephew activate the Rinnegan. It's about time that he learned about the uses of the Rinnegan." Pein said as he looked at Naruto. "Naruto-kun can learn jutsus faster with those eyes, as well as manipulating all six forms of nature manipulation instead of five."
"So, Pein-sama. You mean I can learn faster with my new eyes?" Naruto asked. Pein nodded as he smiled. "Well, with my new kekkei genkai, I can also learn medical jutsus as well as enhancing my chakra."
"Yes, but you only had the yin chakra of the Kyuubi. I may not be a seal master, but someone here can do the fuinjutsu." Pein said as Mamoru spoke up.
"I am efficient in seals, but the seal that Naruto has would be better looked by a sage. Someone like Jiraiya-sama." Mamoru replied. Pein and Konan winced at the mention of Jiraiya's name and Naruto felt dumbstruck.
"Ero-sennin? Why him? Oh yeah, he can do the seals better." Naruto said as the same people that winced at his name were now laughing.
"You called Jiraiya-sensei ero-sennin?" Pein asked while trying to control his laughter. "Then again, he was doing 'research' while leaving us, right Konan?"
"Yes, I can never forget that pervert." Konan replied. "At least Yahiko didn't get perverted."
The Akatsuki then accompanied the Yuki shinobi back to the village as Koyuki decided to tag along with them for fear of future assassinations. They rushed through the village walls and into the Yukikage tower, where Daisuke was waiting.
"Naruto, what happened?" Daisuke asked as Mamoru started to explain everything.
"When he was sparring Mizore, his Newtype senses clicked in, and he heard a voice telling him to save Koyuki-hime." Mamoru replied as the Yukikage frowned. "While saving her, he also killed two Ne ANBU shinobi from Konoha and activated his Rinnegan at the same time. Can you imagine him unlocking two new dangerous weapons all in one day?"
Daisuke was shocked at what he heard. He then said: "So that Durandal man is right after all, Naruto is a Newtype and a Coordinator. And not to mention that he also unlocked the Rinnegan as well. But if I may ask, why do you have a group of S-class nuke nin with you?"
"Because they had a change of heart, especially the leader. It also seems that your nephew was among them." Mamoru said as Itachi stepped forward.
"Itachi, I heard about the top secret mission. You were ordered to kill your own clan by Konoha's elders, is that right?" Daisuke asked as they entered the tower.
"Yes, Daisuke-oji-sama." Itachi replied as Shinosuke frowned. "I am aware of the fact that there are members of the Uchiha clan that married into the other clans outside Konoha."
"Yes, Itachi-itoko." Shinosuke said as Shinn looked at the elder Uchiha. "My younger cousin was branded with the cursed seal and also progressed into the second level without killing himself."
"Yeah, unlike a certain asshole in Konoha who was the reason why Naruto was kicked out of his own village." Shinn replied as the Akatsuki and Koyuki waited in front of the office. Daisuke then got out a piece of paper and a Yukigakure hitai ate. "Well, it looks like Naruto passed."
Naruto then stood at attention as Daisuke presented the hitai ate to him.
"Naruto, since our assessment was interrupted by your new powers guiding you to save our Daimyo, I promote you to the rank of chunin and I also commission yo to the Yukigakure shinobi forces. Do you promise to uphold the laws and policies of our village and not let harm come into our people?" Daisuke said as Naruto held up his hand.
"Yes, Yukikage-sama." Naruto replied back.
"Then, congratulations. Naruto, You are officially a Yukigakure chunin. since Mamoru-sensei has three people inhis team, you will become an apprentice of Fubuki Kakuyoku, Nadare Roga and Mizore Fuyukuma. You will also undergo a rigorous training regimen under your uncle Pein and the rest of the Akatsuki in developing your new powers." Daisuke said as Naruto saluted. "Good, and that will be all for the day. Oh, can you get the Akatsuki for me on the way out?"
"Yes, Yukikage-sama." Naruto replied as he exited from the Yukikage's office to see Pein and the rest of the Akatsuki coming in. "Good luck."
"Thanks, gaki." Konan replied as they entered the office. Daisuke then looked at them with interest.
"So, I heard that you are wanted in the bingo books for previous crimes committed in your former villages." Daisuke reported as Itachi glanced at him. "But I can give you amnesty if you can train Naruto to his potential, and I mean to the bone. Your status as nuke nins can be cleared if you an act as bodyguards to the Daimyo of Yuki no Kuni. Do you accept?"
"Yes, we accept. If we didn't, you would have killed us without hesitation." Itachi replied as Pein also spoke up.
"What will we train Naruto with what techniques?" Pein asked.
"You will teach him how to use the Rinnegan as well as more jutsus. Fubuki, Mizore and Nadare can teach him some taijutsu while Itachi can teach him genjutsu." he replied back. "After I say anything more, you all will be dismissed. Train him for a month, and after he is finished training I will give him missions to be completed."
The Akatsuki then left the office as Daisuke resumed his paperwork.
Jiraiya was not a happy old man, after hearing about Naruto's exile from his former teammate the Godaime Hokage Tsunade. He was originally planning to take Naruto to a three year training trip, but his exile and the threat of execution had sunk the idea to the bottom. Right now, he was peeping less in the hot springs and more on searching for the blond jinchuuriki. While he was searching, one of the informants came up to him in the border town before crossing into Ame no Kuni.
"Jiraiya-sama, we have news about the Uzumaki boy." she said as Jiraiya listened.
"What is it?" he asked.
"He is in the same country where the Kazahana princess is ruling. I also heard the rumor that the Akatsuki are changing their goals after hearing about Pein-sama reacting to Konan-sama's news of the container of the Kyuubi being his nephew." the informant said as Jiraiya grew shocked at the news. So his old students from Ame were taking care of the gaki, aren't they? Well, the toad sannin nodded as the informant left him and he started to dash back to Konoha.
When he arrived at the gate, he rushed to the Hokage tower where Tsunade was doing some paperwork. He then jumped into the room and stood beside her.
"You better have a good reason why I shouldn't pummel you, Jiraiya." Tsunade said as Jiraiya spoke up.
"I have news about the gaki." he replied, causing the slug sannin to look up. "He apparently fled to Yuki no Kuni with the help from the Yuki shinobi that were surveilling Hi no Kuni. It also appears that from the rumors that I heard, there was a man from the Outside world that came in to Yukigakure no Sato and confirmed the theory about Naruto being Minato's son and a confirmed Newtype."
"Yeah, and the villagers were almost going to revolt at the idea of having a Newtype in their midst. That reminds me, what happened to Kojiro Haruno?" Tsunade said.
"From what I heard, he was banished from his clan for being a Newtype, even though he was a Natural. From what I heard, he was sent to the Outside world where he was barbarically treated like a toy in the hopes of creating what they called an 'extended'. But it turned out that he is also in Yuki no Kuni, under the instruction of one Nadare Roga." Jiraiya explained. "Hell, even your apprentice didn't like her older brother."
"She's not my apprentice the moment that she helped with Naruto's exile and threat of death. In the outside world, they would call her a Nazi, or a fascist." Tsunade replied back. "Now, thank you for the information. Just leave me alone."
"All right." Jiraiya said as he left the Hokage tower and went back on to searching for Naruto, now knowing where to go.
In a holding cell, there was a boy that occupied the place. He was a traitor to the village for defecting to a snake whose existence cannot be forgiven. Although Sasuke Uchiha was granted leniency by the majority of the village council, the shinobi clans refused to do so. It was under a threat of a Blue Cosmos gunman that threatened the said shinobi clans with death did they change their minds. It wouldn't be long before Konoha plunges into a civil war that would only end in a brutal triumph for the ultra-radical fascist Ne faction of the war hawk Danzo.
"And I should have killed the dobe." Sasuke mumbled all over again. It was a long day for the last Uchiha, until he recieve visitors in the form of the fascist elders, Homura and Koharu. "What is it?"
"Sasuke-san, we are here on your behalf. There will be a trial, but we haven't set the date yet." Homura said as Koharu nodded.
"We will clear you of all charges, if you promise us one thing." Koharu said.
"What is it?" Sasuke asked.
"That you join Ne." said a voice. Homura and Koharu bowed as Danzo came into light. "We cannot allow the Sharingan to become extinct, for that is too valuable to our village's prestige and survival."
Just then, there was one Ne messenger rushing in, with a horrified look on his face. "Danzo-sama!"
"What is it?" he asked.
"The demon. He has that accursed eye!" the messenger said as the three elders suddenly froze. So the demon brat has unlocked the Rinnegan after all. "And not only that, it killed two of our men trying to eliminate the Kazahana patchworker."
"Damnation!" Danzo yelled as Sasuke listened. "And anything else?"
"We also found out that Yuki shinobi were the ones that drove our men away from the demon brat. Led by none other than Mamoru Uchiha Kaguya Hibiki, and with him, Shinosuke and Shinn Asuka! The decendants of the emigre Uchihas!" the messenger replied, causing him to faint. Homura gritted his teeth in anger.
"So the demon brat has also unlocked his Newtype potential. It would be only a matter of time before LOGOS and Blue Cosmos gets sunk." Homura said angrily as Sasuke glanced at them. "Sasuke-san, you are our salvation. You must be able to kill the demon brat."
"I'll do whatever it takes." Sasuke said as the elders left the prison cell.
Homura and Koharu accompanied Danzo to the Hokage's office where Tsunade was working. Already she was pissed off because she was interrupted once already. But when she looked up, she gritted her teeth.
"Let me guess, more 'I-want-the-demon-brat-dead message?" Tsunade asked smugly.
"No, but hear us out." Homura said as Tsunade was listening. "We felt that Sasuke Uchiha is too valuable to be executed. So what we're asking is that we give him a fair trial."
"When hell freezes over, I'll do that." she replied angrily as Danzo smirked. "What is it?"
Just then, a masked gunman aimed his assault rifle at the slug sannin as she trembled. The gunman then shot up the ceiling as an intimidation.
"If you don't give us what we want, we're going to take hostages." Danzo said as the gunman reloaded his rifle. "So, what will it be?"
"All right, a fair trial it is." Tsunade conceded.
"That's good, I knew you'd see things our way. Just so you would follow what we say, we're taking this woman hostage." Koharu said as the gunman dragged Shizune into the room with the gun pointing at her head. "Disobey us and she dies."
Tsunade was shocked. Clearly, her authority as the Hokage was becoming less important as events that preceeded Naruto's exile grew worse. She also knew that the gunman belonged to the Outside world's most notorious terrorist organization, the Blue Cosmos. It was going to be a long time before her authority would be reorganized.
When Jiraiya left the border of Hi no Kuni, he was surprised that there were modern naval ships that docked in Ocha no Kuni. Or rather, the occupied Ocha no Kuni, as Yuki no Kuni under Doto had conquered it from Mizu no Teikoku. He had another mission to do, one that can potentially place Yuki no Kuni and Yukigakure in danger. He was going to seal the Yang chakra of the Kyuubi into Naruto, so that he would have a complete access to the great bijuu's chakra. As the toad sannin had gotten a boat from a wealthy merchant, they sailed in a fast wind. So, it only took a few hours for them to reach the homeland of the nation of coordinators that couldn't go to the PLANTs or stay in the Orb Union.
"I'm coming, gaki." Jiraiya said as they sailed on. When they finally reached Yuki no Kuni, they borrowed a snowmobile and rushed to the village where Naruto is located. But when they arrived, Jiraiya was not expecting to see his only apprentice being accompanied by two of his former students. Jiraiya then rushed towards them. "Naruto! What are you doing there? Get away from them!"
Pein decided to speak up for him. "Jiraiya-sensei, we're not taking him to our base. We have a new goal now, to serve the Daimyo of Yuki no Kuni."
"Last time I checked, you and Konan were in Ame. Smashing Hanzo up and taking over." the toad sannin replied as Naruto looked up to him. "Gaki, I came here to check on your seal. I have the other key to your tenant's chakra."
"Really, Jiraiya-sensei?" Konan replied as she came over to see the commotion. "Did you hear that Naruto-kun activated the Rinnegan? Show them, Naruto-kun."
Naruto nodded as he focused his chakra on his eyes and opened them. There it was, the all powerful Rinnegan. The eyes that can either save the world or destroy the world.
"So, Pein. Or Nagato rather, you oughta be proud that your sister's son has become stronger." Jiraiya said as Mamoru and his team came up to them along with a brown haired boy with green eyes. The toad sannin looked at him with interest. "So you're Kojiro Haruno that was missing from Konoha."
"Yeah, Jiraiya-sama. I was kicked out of my clan because I have those spatial awareness." the Haruno kid said as Shinn glanced at him. "I'm the older one. Sakura-teme is the younger more perfect girl in the family."
"You know Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked.
"I prefer you don't call her that. As far as I'm concerned, she's the reason why you're kicked out of Konoha. You and I are similar, and so does Shinn Asuka." Kojiro said as Shinn spoke up.
"Well, we'd better get to an abandoned field where we can seal the Yang chakra into Naruto." Jiraiya said as Mamoru led him into the secluded part of the country. There, the toad sannin made some complicated handsigns as a scroll appeared. "This is the key to the Yang chakra."
He and Mamoru then memorized the seal as Naruto laid down onto the snowy field. Suddenly, there was a dark sinister chakra that appeared out of nowhere and started to get inside the blond jinchuuriki. Naruto screamed as Mamoru placed a seal of surpress on his head.
"Just hang in there, Naruto." Mamoru yelled as the Yang chakra suddenly sealed itself inside and the Kyuubi itself was speaking.
"Well, the kit has finally receive the other half of my chakra." the Kyuubi said. "And well done on summoning my kin."
Naruto then fainted on the ground as Jiraiya picked him up. He then asked Mamoru something that puzzled him.
"What did the Kyuubi meant that Naruto summoned his kin?" he asked while rushing back to the village.
"Well, I explained to him that the toad contract is a Konoha contract. Since he was exiled, the contract would be nullified and he needs a Yukigakure contract. So he summoned an Arctic fox." Mamoru replied as Jiraiya nodded.
"Well, I was angry that the council in my village decided to banish him." Jiraiya added as Mamoru told him something else.
"I have a spy in the Konoha ANBU ranks. But she's under surveillance because she might defect to us soon." he said as they reached the Yukikage tower. "Here we are."
When Jiraiya and Mamoru were accompanying an unconscious Naruto into the tower along with Mamoru's team and the Akatsuki, Daisuke was still doing his paperwork. He looked up at the visitors that arrived and sighed.
"Let me guess, you tweaked his bijuu's seal." he said as Jiraiya explained.
"the Kyuubi's chakra is leaking at some point. I just reinforced the seal with the Yang chakra that was separated from the Yin Chakra." the toad sannin explained. "So now, Naruto is able to concentrate more on his training."
"I assigned Fubuki, Mizore and Nadare for his taijutsu training while I got the entire Akatsuki to train him in ninjutsu and genjutsu as well as kinjutsu." Daisuke replied as Jiraiya had a worried look. "I assure you, the Akatsuki had a change of heart the moment that Pein found out about Naruto. He must have been guilty that he didn't take care of him when Kushina died."
"Why did Naruto found out about his parents at this age? He should have waited until he's older." Jiraiya said, but Daisuke shook his head.
"The man from the PLANTs in outer space wanted to confirm about his heritage because Minato was the one that went to Ulen Hibiki and gave him permission to use their son as a byproduct for the Ultimate Coordinator project." Daisuke explained. "That Durandal character confirmed Naruto's status as a Newtype and a Coordinator when he took a DNA sample. Not only that, the evidence supports it in the form of his spatial awareness that was unlocked when Koyuki was almost assassinated by Ne."
"So Danzo must have sensed that the Daimyo of this country is also a Coordinator." the toad sannin replied as Mamoru spoke up.
"It was because of that, that Naruto activated the Rinnegan." he said as he left the office.
"We'd better get rested so we can start the gaki's training." Jiraiya replied as he too left the office. He returned back to Konoha that night.
The next morning, Naruto was standing in front of the entire Akatsuki while Fubuki, Mizore and Nadare looked at them. Pein was giving out the instructions.
"Naruto-kun, we are going to be responsible for your training for a month. The training will be hard, so we want you to work hard to the bone." he said as Naruto listened. "For a month, we will train you in the arts of ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu and kenjutsu. Since you lacked the talent to cast a genjutsu, we will work on that first. The next week, we will be working on your taijutsu skills, since your taijutsu is mediocre. The third week, we will work on you rninjutsu and kenjutsu skills because the last week, I want to train you in the usage of the Rinnegan with all the things that you have learned. So for the entier month, you need to learn how to use the Rinnegan properly."
"OK." Naruto said as Pein nodded.
"After this, we will also train more people for the planned creation of Hyakunijuu Juutai Shotai." Konan replied as she smiled at Naruto. "Well, let's get started."
The first week, Naruto and a thousand Kage bunshins read up about the uses of genjutsu. They were constantly reading the scrolls so much that the real Naruto had learned about how to create his own genjutsu, in addition to Itachi's lesson on asting and counter-casting genjutsu. By the end of the week, Naruto was having a spar with Itachi using only genjutsu.
"Show me what you've learned, Naruto." Itachi said as naruto made some handsigns.
"Magen: Chimayou Genzou no Jutsu!" he said as the surroundings grew into an alternate world where Itachi was seeing a vision of Sasuke impaling him. he then made a handsign and released the genjutsu.
"Very good, Naruto-kun. That was a B-rank genjutsu. Now, show me the A-rank genjutsu that you made." Itachi said.
Naruto made some handsigns as another illusion came up. "Magen: Naraku no Koukyougaku no jutsu!"
This time, the view became horrifying as Itachi listened to the horrible music that affected his ears. He then released the genjutsu. "Very well, Naruto-kun. Now, show me the S-rank genjutsu that can match up to my Tsukuyomi."
Itachi would have regretted saying that, because Naruto was making a weird some sort of handsigns as the view became more horrifying.
"Magen: Naraku Kokoronokizu Koukyougaku no Jutsu!" he yelled as Itach was caught in a deadly alternate world that is terrifyingly similar to the Tsukuyomi as he looked at a masked man with an insane laugh on a weird machine. He said "You're something that shouldn't exist, boy!"
Itachi released the genjutsu as he grew tired of releasing more genjutsus. "You pass, Naruto-kun."
"Thank you, Itachi-san." Naruto said as he bowed to him. For the first time in his life, Naruto had found his talent in learning more jutsus, unlike a certain snake sannin.
The next week, Naruto found himself working out with the chakra weights as Fubuki drilled him in taijutsu. Midore would help out whenever Naruto felt he was ready to have a spar, only to get his ass kicked everytime by the blond. Mamoru also decided to help out with the same blitzkrieg techniques taht he taught him before the Akatsuki showed up. One day, he was teaching Naruto a lesson on speed.
"Your father was the inventor of the Hiraishin no Jutsu as well as the rasengan. So, you gather your chakra on your feet and run through the forest right there." he instructed as Naruto did as he was told. He was at first having a hard time doing it. But then he created twenty Kage Bunshins and perfected the Hiraishin after a whopping fifty tries.
"Hiraishin no Jutsu!" Naruto said as he ran through the snow covered forest in a flash. Mamoru saw the result and clapped his hands together.
There was no assessment for Naruto's taijutsu skills because Nadare simply didn't need to assess him. By the end of the week, he was able to win a spar with Mamoru and his team combined twice a day, and lost three times a day. The next week was exciting for the blond, since ninjutsu was his favorite lesson to do. Especially when he heard some news from Pein.
"Naruto-kun, I heard from my sources that you can do the Rasengan, right?" he asked. When Naruto nodded, Pein told him some news. "I'm afraid the rasengan is half complete."
"What do you mean, half-complete?" Naruto asked Pein.
"The Rasengan was meant to be combined with your father's elemental affinity, which is air. Let's see your elemental affinity by using your chakra to test out the paper." Pein replied by handing out a slip of paper as Naruto placed his chakra into the paper. Just as Pein predicted, the paper burned, soaked, turned to dust, crumpled, split and froze.
"Well, looks like this may be fun after all. Naruto-kun, you are going to create your own jutsu. But first, we have to get you and your clones to do some elemental exercise before creating the jutsus." he replied as Naruto made a handsign.
"Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Naruto yelled as thousands of his clones appeared. Pein then explained the instruction.
"All right, since there are six elements that your original copy has possessed, we will split the jobs of exercising nature manipulation. First of all, one hundred fifty clones will try to walk twirl around water, while the other hundred fifty will split the waterfall that's over there. One hundred fifty clones will try to meditate under a hot flame, while the other hundred fifty will do ice skating. Also, there will be a hundred fifty clones that will try to redirect lightning into the sky while the last hundred fifty clones will climb the mountain with a rock in their backs. The remaining hundred clones will be learning the theory of ninjutsu with the Rinnegan. Got it?" Pein explained as the Naruto clones saluted. "Then disperse and do it!"
For three straight days, the Naruto clones attempted to do all these exercises, but to no avail. It wasn't until the last night of the third day that all of the clones had mastered all the exercises that Pein had instructed. Now was the real part for Naruto as he got to combine his Rasengan with all of his elements.
"All right, Naruto-kun." Pein said during the fourth day. "Let's first try to combine your wind manipulation with the Rasengan."
Naruto once again summoned a hundred clones as they attempted to create the wind variation of the Rasengan, but the jutsu kept on failing. Even as the fifth and sixth day went by, Naruto and his clones kept on failing to create the new jutsu. It wasn't until the last day that Naruto managed to create the perfect jutsu.
"C'mon, c'mon!" Naruto said as the Rasengan began to form. At last, a swirling ball of air was formed, but the air ball grew bigger as a gigantic shuriken formed. Naruto finally dispelled the new jutsu with a tired arm. "I'll call my new jutsu Futon: Rasenshuriken. And its half complete form is the Futon Rasengan."
When another week had gone by, Daisuke decided to visit Naruto while training for creating the next jutsu, which is a lightning variation of the Rasengan. Unlike the wind exercise, the lightning variation resulted in creating the Chidori and the Raikiri.
"Naruto-san, how are you doing?" Daisuke asked as Naruto began to form the Chidori in his hand. "Wow! I never realized that you can manipulate all elements."
"I'm fine, Yukikage-sama." Naruto grunted as he dispelled the Chidori. After seeing his progress, Daisuke then went to see Nadare and Mizore.
"Nadare-san, Mizore-san!" Daisuke said as the two shinobi went up to him. "How long is his training going to be?"
"Another month, since he's creating new jutsus." Mizore said. "From what I heard from Konan-sama, Naruto still has to learn to place fire, water, earth and ice. Not to mention that Naruto woul dbe learning Mokuton and another jutsu that combines earth and fire."
"I see, at least the Jonin Exam is not until the month after next month." Daisuke said as he returned back to the office.
Pein was supervising Naruto's next attempt, which was adding fire to the rasengan. Like the lightning variation, it only took him a few hours to create the fire jutsu, and a lot easier since fire can be forced.
"Ow!" Naruto yelled out as he dipped his burned hand into the snow and massaging it. "I'll call my fire variant Katon: Rasenshuriken Bakudan."
Water variation was a lot harder than air, since Naruto had to create the next jutsu in the water. After a few days, five days to be exact, Naruto finally had a swirling mini whirlpool in his hand. The new name for the water variant is Suiton: Uzumaki Rasenshuriken.
Ice variation was the hardest, since Naruto is combining water and air to make an icy swirling ball. Even a week and a half had passed by and naruto still haven't created the jutsu. It was only in the coldest time of the year that his jutsu finally came to frutition.
"C'mon, c'mon!" Naruto said again as a swirling chunk of ice had formed in his hand. The swirling ice ball had stayed in his hand this time, but suddenly it grew bigger, until it was the same size as the Futon: Rasenshuriken. "I'll call this one the Hyoton: Rasenshuriken Ugatsu."
Finally, the earth rasengan variation was created within a few day, but it was by luck that Naruto had managed to stabilize the jutsu, giving the name Doton: Rasen-Ugatsu.
The last week that Naruto and Pein trained together was the uses of the Rinnegan. Naruto had quickly learned how to use it when he was sparring with Pein, because he can come up with a strategy to counter the move in a blink of an eye.
"Well done, my nephew." Pein said as Konan joined him a minute later. "What is it, Konan?"
"Yukikage-sama wants to see you." Konan said as Naruto and Pein rushed into the Yukikage's office. They found Daisuke resting from the paperwork that he's done, and that he and the other Akatsukis were waiting for their leader. "Here they are."
"Ah, Naruto-san. I was expecting you." he said as Naruto sat down in a chair. "How would you like to be an instructor for a new raw recruits of shinobi to form the Hyakunijuu Shuutai Shotai. So, how is that for a training? You get paid an equivalent of an S-rank mission and you also earn leadership skills."
"If that is you wish, I shall do it." Naruto said as he shook Daisuke's hands.
"Very well." he said. "Starting tomorrow, until the Jonin exams start. you will teach young genin with a lot of potential. You can also recruit chunin and jonin for this platoon after you've finished the Jonin exams."
Naruto nodded as he left the office, pleased at the prospect of molding young minds into powerful shinobi.
A new army will be formed, as Naruto passess his knowledge to young shinobi that would prove to be the most potential. However, what he can teach those who woul dfollow in his footsteps, he can learn from himself.
Next on Masked Hero With the Frozen Heart: The Will of Ice
Pass on your knowledge, Naruto!
