Disclaimer- I do not own Naruto; if I did Kisame would have a lot more battle scenes.

Previously in Vice Versa: A Naruto Tale—

'By the way what is this house?" asked Naruto.

'What do you mean/" said Yuki.

'Well even thought Ryo-sama doesn't like showing of much he could probably do better."

'Actually, this is the Uzumaki clan house."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

'You mean this dump is the Uzumaki clan house?" asked Naruto.

"Yes, that is what I mean." replied Yuki.

'What happened to it?"

"Well, from what Ryo-kun told me, after the second Great Ninja War, the Uzumaki's were wiped out. Since there was no one who lived here the place fell apart. Ryo-kun tried to fix it up when we moved in but the house had a strange force field around it that can only be destroyed by the presence of a Ten-chi boost."

"Oh, that means that we'll both have to work hard to achieve full Uzumaki status so we can clean this place up."

'Yeah I guess we will." said Yuki smiling as they both walked to their respected bedrooms.

Naruto awoke to the chirping of birds. He got up, showered and went downstairs where he met Ryo and Yuki. Both were eating.

"Good morning Naruto-san!" greeted Yuki.

'Good morning Yuki!" replied Naruto.

"Naruto here is your training schedule for this week." said Ryo handed a slip of paper.

'Thanks." said Naruto as he glanced at the schedule.

100 uppercuts

100 down slashes

100 left swings

100 right swings

10k run

100 pushups

repeat 5x

'You mean I won't be learning any new moves?" asked Naruto.

"Not this week. This week you will get used to the sword. Next week you will start learning stances, and the following week you will start learning jutsus used with a sword. You will also begin to wear chakra weights to help train your body, is this understood."

"Hai!"

"Alright, then eat and head outside."

1year and 6 months time skip-

Training with Ryo was harder than Naruto had thought. At the beginning it was ok. Then Ryo had added the stances it got tougher. It got even worse when the chakra weights were added. Naruto had 20 pounds on each appendage and 5 on his fingers. This was to increase the swiftness of his seals.

After the third week Naruto began to learn jutsus. The first one he learned was Wind Style: Wind Blade wich covered his blade with wind making the blade sharper. He also learned a forbidden jutsu called Zodiac Boost (Original). The user had to complete all hand seals in the zodiac order.

Rat, Ox, Tiger, Hare, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Ram, Monkey, Bird, Dog, Boar

After completing theseals the user is surrounded by a silver aura. All of the users physical skills are then boosted 100. Naruto found out the reason why it was forbidden long ago. It completely drains the person of his/her chakra. Ryo told him to only use it in a life or death situation. Today Naruto was to learn a new jutsu.

Naruto had changed over the past year. He now wore a black robe and his blue ninja shoes (The robe is like Ichigo's in Bleach.) Naruto still had the same katana but it had nicks in it. Naruto had also grown closer to Yuki, to the point where they were literally big brother and little sister. When one got upset the other would comfort the upset one.

Rumors had been spreading around that a band of powerful ninja were nearing the village. Many soldiers had been placed at the gate and Naruto and Ryo were preparing.

"Ok Naruto the new jutsu is a variation of the Body Flicker Jutsu technique that the Yondaime Hokage used."

'Sweet. A new jutsu, but wait, you said it was a variation."

'Right. The Yondaime used a three pronged kunai to use the technique but you will just use chakra anchors."

"Chakra what?"

'Chakra anchors, its like leaving permanent chakra traces in a preferred areas and using the Body Flicker Jutsu you can always revisit that area."

'Awesome teach it to me!"

'Ok first do these hand signs, Boar, Dog, Dragon, Monkey, Tiger."

"Good now expel three fourths of your chakra to your hand."

All of the sudden a blue aura shrouded Naruto and started moving to his hand.

'Ok, now put your hand in front of you and release the chakra."

Naruto did so and instead of disappearing the chakra orb moved forward and inch before completely disappearing.

'Good you've almost got it, now keep trying until the orb is green, and then call me."

After I hour of training Naruto managed to get the chakra orb green. To say that Ryo was pleased was an understatement.

'Well Naruto you got this thing down faster than I did. Now go far away and do these hand signs and focus your chakra to your feet." Ryo said showing Naruto 4 hand signs.

Naruto went to the other side of the village and started doing the hand signs.

"Horse, Rat, Boar, Ram." finished Naruto pushing his chakra to his feet. Naruto started to feel a tug and suddenly found himself right where he had been ten minutes before.

'Whoa!" said Naruto.

'Naruto!" yelled Ryo.

'What Ryo-sama?"

'We have to go the invasion has begun!"

A.N- I'm actually very proud of myself. I finished this chapter literally a week before it was due. Now I have to start chapter 10. I think that this will be one of my longest chapters so far but I'm not sure. Unfortunately I can't post yet because this week's manga chapter hasn't been posted so I can't do the ranting corner. When the chapter does come out I hope there will be a beaten up Sasuke in the end. (8/19/07)

Ranting Corner:

WARNING SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT.

Man this week's Naruto chapter was awesome. Not only did we find out about Naruto's parents but the Itachi versus Sasuke fight is coming up. I was a little disappointed in the lack of Itachi's resistance thought; I mean come on what the hell? If I were being attacked I think I'd at least move. I also wonder what would have happened If Kakashi never taught Sasuke the chidori. The damn jutsu seems to be Sasuke's only move. I also hope that next time we get to see Jiraiya fight. I have a feeling that he might die. Well anyway I'll see ya next time. (8/25/07)
