Thank you all for the reviews, they are greatly appreciated.

All I have to say is, if in case you haven't noticed, I removed dramatic irony from my story. Don't know what that means? It means there won't be any clues in the story that hint towards what is going to happen. So my story is going to be told threw Naruto's eyes. With very few scene that he isn't in.

Now, Since there where no questions in any reviews I have no answers to give so there is no need 4 more of my rambles …anyways on with the new chapter

Chapter 3.Gut Full of Rasengan

POP……………POP…………..

"Hey! Ero-Sennin! It's getting pretty easy to make the hole but I can't get it to burst open all at once." stated the Kyuubi vessel as they made their way to another town.

"If you do the same thing over and over it's bound to get easier eventually. Especially if you don't' progress after a week of doing the same thing." Said Jiraiya slightly annoyed at Naruto's lack of progress, but it was true. Despite Naruto's initial progress for the 1st step he had yet to conquer the 2nd step of the exercise and Jiraiya wanted Naruto to keep true to his word (despite him already passing his designated time). But there was very little he could do, it was Naruto who was learning it, not Jiraiya.

Then it hit Jiraiya like a tone of bricks. "Naruto!" he yelled out with his new revelation

"What is it? You're ruining my concentration!" he yelled back

"What direction are you spinning you chakra?" he asked like if it wasn't the most completely random question Naruto has ever herd in his life

"To the right. Why? Does it matter?" asked an oblivious Naruto

"You've been spinning it to the right the whole time?" asked Jiraiya

"Yeah. Why?"

Jiraiya walks up to Naruto and places his hand on the back of Naruto's head. "Because you have a right rotation" stated Jiraiya

"Okay? What does that mean?" asked Naruto

"It means you haven't been spinning your chakra to its fullest pomposity. This would explain why you can't seem to pop the rubber ball. Try spinning it to the left instead" said Jiraiya squatting down to get a better look



"If you say so." He then proceeded to spin his chakra to the left and to his amazement,

The rubber ball broke not how he wanted exactly. Instead of break into a million pieces like Jiraiya, Naruto just blew a chunk of it out and made a gaping hole ¾ the diameter around.

"At least it's a step in the right direction" stated Jiraiya "Well at least I can guess you'll progress steadily now stumpy."

"Anything else you forgot to mention?" Naruto said pouting

"What do you mean I left out?" asked Jiraiya inquiringly

"You never told me I had to spin it to the left!" barked Naruto

"HOW WAS I SUPPOSE TO KNOW YOU A COMPLETE IDOIT THAT DOESN'T KNOW WHICH WAY HIS CHAKRA SPINS!" yelled Jiraiya

Naruto humphed and continued trying to master the Rasengan

3 days later

Jiraiya was dosing off when he was awoken by an extremely loud popping sound. He rushed over to where Naruto was to find the Blond on his back with his hands sporting a coat of blisters from chakra burns.

"2nd step complete" he said afterwards he promptly fell asleep

"I was wondering when he would get the hang of it" thought Jiraiya "but the 3rd step is the killer of it all, I'm still surprised he got this far this fast"

Jiraiya carried Naruto to the inn, put on the way one of his clones got word of Tsunade's whereabouts.

"Wake up brat" he said tossing Naruto on the ground

"What the hell was that for?" complained Naruto

"We have to go! And I'm not carrying you around like your some little kid."

"Doesn't mean you have to toss me on the ground like a sac of eggs" said Naruto rubbing his butt

"Eggs?" though Jiraiya "What a moron" he shook his head in disapproval

"C'mon, get up. You'll start the next step while we're walking" said Jiraiya



"Can I at least rest? I'm tired as shit you ancient perv." Argued Naruto

"Since you have the energy to run your mouth, it tells me you have the energy to keep going. So hop to it" He tossed Naruto a Balloon filled with air. He demonstrated what was required in the 3rd step and made his way towards the next town.

Four Day Later

After countless bars, casinos, and other places where Tsunade usually hung out, Jiraiya's Patience was running thin, and Naruto wasn't progressing at all with the Rasengan.

"All that raw power that is going to waste because of his total lack of control, what a waste of talent" thought Jiraiya. He soon after stopped dead in his tracks. He felt the presence of a snake near by "Orochimaru" stated Jiraiya silently.

"C'mon Naruto, this way" Jiraiya hurried the blond

"Where are we going?" asked Naruto but he received no reply

After a few minutes of running, Naruto and Jiraiya come across a ruined courtyard. Jiraiya analyzing the debris concluded that it was the working of Orochimaru. He also analyzed foot prints that fit the profiles of Tsunade, and Shizune.

"Naruto, Tsunade is near by, we have to find her fast" said Jiraiya

"Can we get something to eat first? I'm starving!" stated Naruto loudly

"Can't it wait? We can eat after we find her." Plied Jiraiya

"Or we can eat now and look for her at our full strength, and you could focus 100 on finding her"

"Why wouldn't I focus 100 now?" asked Jiraiya

"Because you know as well as I do that if I keep bitching about food you won't be able to focus 50, let alone 100" warned Naruto

"…Point taken" stated Jiraiya "Fine, we'll grab a bite and then resume our search" Jiraiya gave up trying to argue with Naruto because he to was hungry

"RAMEN!!" yelled Naruto

"I thought you said you where only going to have it once a day?" reminded Jiraiya

"I haven't had Ramen today!" yelled Naruto

"What did you eat for breakfast?" asked Jiraiya, knowing full well the answer to it



"I forgot…" simply stated Naruto

"It was RAMEN!!" Jiraiya said mimicking Naruto's previous enthusiasm

"Fine then, how about sushi?" asked Naruto

"Sounds good to me" said Jiraiya as a barely audible rumble came from his stomach

At a Local Bar

"Ero-Sennin! I though you said sushi!" cried Naruto aloud

"This bar serves sushi, good sushi at that." stated Jiraiya simply

"But why come to a bar? I don't like being around drunk people" said Naruto waving his arms up and down

"Calm down brat. This way we can continue our search and grab a bite to eat." Said Jiraiya

"…Makes sense I guess" admitted Naruto

"Then again…maybe our search has just ended." Stated Jiraiya mostly to himself

"Huh?" was the only response Naruto could make before Jiraiya motioned them towards a stool where a pretty, busty blond and a cute brunette sat.

"Is one of these two Tsunade?" thought Naruto, soon receiving his answer

"Tsunade, Shizune. Long time no see" said Jiraiya first looking to the blond and then the brunette.

"It sure has been a while hasn't it my old friend." said the blond "Still writing those perverted novels of yours?"

"Yes, and they are doing quite well, I got best author of the year award. And my next Novel is the most anticipated of the decade." Boasted Jiraiya

"Yeah yeah don't suffocate from lack of oxygen now." Teased Tsunade causing Jiraiya to lower his head and sulk

"Anyways, I have some fairly important business to speak with you about." Said Jiraiya

"Oh?" said Tsunade "and here I thought you wanted to speak to me just because we are old friends" joked Tsunade



Not giving her playful jabber any thought Jiraiya went straight to business. "We need you to come back to the leaf and heal Uchiha Sauske and Hatake Kakashi. They where attacked by Uchiha Itachi and are in critical condition. And after you finish with that…the counsel wants you to assume the role of the 5th Hokage." Stated Jiraiya with a firm unwavering voice

"WHAT?!" yelled out Naruto

"Shut up Naruto, and let her speak!" said Jiraiya in a tone that not even Naruto could disoblige

"…" she pondered for a few seconds and then answered simply. "Not a snow balls chance in hell." She stated with much malice in her voice

"I advice you to reconsider Tsunade, the leaf needs you now more than ever." Stated Jiraiya trying to get her to reconsider

"I don't want to be Hokage; it's a shitty job that makes you put your life on the line like if it was few chips on the table. Only a complete idiot would take that job, just look at the 4th. He could have been the greatest shinobi the leaf has ever produced and look where he is, dead and gone." She said after taking another long gulp of sake

Naruto had had enough of hearing this. "I'll fucking kill you! You old bitch!" yelled Naruto as he leapt forward, blade extended.

Jiraiya quickly grabbed Naruto mid air and told him to Quite down and shut up.

"But how can I just let this old bitch bad mouth the 3rd Hokage like that. He gave his life to protect us all and she calls him an idiot! I'll kill anyone who talks trash about any of our previous Hokage." Yelled Naruto

"Who the fuck are you? Talking to me like that?" Tsunade said with quite a bit of males in her voice. "What is a little loud mouth Gennin like you, speaking to someone who could kill you with as much effort as a wink of an eye."

"Shut the fuck up! I'll kick your ass if you talk about the Hokage like that again!" Beckoned Naruto

"Lets take this outside" simply stated Tsunade

"Jiraiya stop them!" Shizune pleaded the perverted hermit

"Just let them be, no one will get hurt. I'll make sure of that." He said reassuring Shizune

"Well brat, any last word before I kill you?" asked a tipsy Tsunade

"I won't be the one being killed you old drunk!" yelled Naruto



Naruto charged forward extending his blade and trying to Tsunade with it in her stomach. Tsunade easily evaded and made to punch Naruto in the head. Naruto realizing the danger tried his hardest to move his head out of the way but to no avail. Tsunade flicked him in the head and he went soaring 10 meters back while his forehead protector hit the stratosphere. Naruto getting up from his failed attempt at stabbing the sannin thought "God Damn she's fucking strong!" Naruto felt a trickle of blood flowing down his face.

"Had enough yet brat?!" yelled Tsunade at the young Gennin

"No where near it!" replied Naruto with a huge grin on his face

Naruto makes an L shape with his wooden arm and fires a series of needles at Tsunade. She was slightly taken back by the surprise attack but quickly composed herself and either knocked or caught every needle that was launched at her. She then tossed the needles aside and ran towards Naruto and flicked his forehead again. Only to find that a small log was sent flying in the air towards a distant open shop.

"When did he learn to do kawarimi sealessly? Though Jiraiya a bit surprised. "This brat's just full of surprises isn't he?" He said to himself

Tsunade found herself in a fairly compromising predicament. She was fighting a Gennin that had managed to one up her. And she was wide open for an attack that she was sure would come. And it did. Naruto ran towards her as fats as his legs would take him. Hopefully before she could put up a proper defense. He motioned for the technique that he had been training for the past month to master. A mesh of swirling chakra in his right hand and formed an incomplete circle. When Tsunade saw this technique she was more than surprised and dare I say even…scared? To think this little Gennin could perform the Rasengan was more than enough of a shock to sober her up quick. But even still he was only a Gennin. Despite her position she was more than balanced enough to do what was needed to stop him. She extended her right foot to catch his left mid way through a stride and then used her left knee to catapult him over her head. She then turned around and demolished the floor he landed on with the back of her right heel. Naruto landed on his feet surprisingly enough but only to have him stripped of the ground under his feet. He fell flat on his stomach and his Rasengan send a horde of dirt and rocks into his eyes. Naruto sat up and wiped his eyes to get all the dirt out but to no avail. Tsunade walked up to Naruto and took his face in her hands.

"Shizune! Grab me a glass of water." Tsunade barked her orders and Shizune complied.

"Rubbing your eyes just makes it worse. Let me help you." Tsunade said with a caring voice

"I don't want your help!" yelled Naruto

"Don't be difficult you brat!" yelled Tsunade "Just because I beat you doesn't mean you have to be so stubborn"



"It has nothing to do with that!" Naruto bellowed "You insulted the Hokage, selfless men who died protecting the village. I won't accept help from anyone like that."

"What is it with you and the Hokage? What is it about the word Hokage that pushes your button so much?" asked Tsunade

"Because being Hokage is my dream." Said Naruto forcing his eyes open

Tsunade looked into his azure eyes and adopted an expression of nostalgias. She then whacked Naruto across the head and knocked him out.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" yelled Jiraiya from the side lines

"He reminds me of them…so much that it scares Me." said Tsunade barely audible enough for Jiraiya to hear.

"Still don't you think it was a bit much?" said Jiraiya picking Naruto up off the ground

Tsunade didn't' respond, she simply walked off towards a bar

"Here, take Naruto up to our hotel room and look over him." He said to Shizune, Handing Naruto over to her.

"What are you going to do?" asked Shizune taking Naruto

"I need to talk to Tsunade about something" he stated simply

"She likes to be alone when she is like this" Stated Shizune

"I know her better than you. I know what I can and can't do" he said and made his way after Tsunade's trail

The next morning at Naruto's hotel room

"You're awake" was the first thing Naruto heard as he opened his eyes. He looked around to find the origin of the voice which turned out to be Shizune.

"How long was I out?" asked Naruto

"A few hours, the sun rose less than 20 minutes ago." Said Shizune

"Oh." Said Naruto and just looked down at the floor

"Please forgive Tsunade on how she acted yesterday; she's had a tough past." Shizune said. After which she told Naruto the History of her boy friend and little brother.



"…" Naruto had nothing to say to that

"I have something for you Naruto, I think it could help you out a lot" she said with a warm smile

"Really?!" asked Naruto lightening up his mood but not completely removing his state of mind.

"Yeah." Shizune the reached into her top and bulled out a phial of light green liquid almost exposing her in the process which made Naruto turn a very deep crimson color.

"Here you go; it's distilled King Cobra venom. It'll give anyone a Nasty fever and make them virtually immobile. There is a 75 chance they will die unless treated right away" She said, then noticing Naruto's massive blush

"Aww…your getting all flustered just because an older woman gave you a gift. You're so cute Naruto" she said giving him a really hard squeeze around his head pressing him against her chest which made his blush only deepen.

"Can't…breathe!" he mumbled into her chest. Shizune quickly let go and apologized

"Sorry about that." She said sticking her tongue out

"It's ok, and thank you very much for the King Cobra venom." He said

"Just remember, it's a neurotoxin, and a powerful one at that" she said very seriously

"What's a neurotoxin?" asked Naruto

"It's a type of poison that messes with the Nerves, so they will have difficulty moving around, or even breathing. Be very careful because if you poison yourself you could die." She said as she reached into her top again. Naruto quickly averted his eyes as not to see anything in case she 'slips' up and reveals himself, but he peeked between his fingers anyways. "Here is the anti-venom." She tossed Naruto a dark blue phial of what she called anti-venom. "If you poison yourself just inject yourself with that. You could just use a needle. Prick your skin and place the needles a few millimeters into your vein and let the anti-venom slide down the needle and into your blood stream."

Naruto looked at the phial and then took out a needle from his arm and motioned to prick his vein.

"What are you doing?!" asked a bewildered Shizune

"I'm gonna practice injecting myself so I know how to do it correctly." Naruto said as though it was the most obvious thing in the world

"Anti-venom and be just as dangerous if not more dangerous to the body than the actual Poison." Shizune said warning Naruto



"Oh…" was all Naruto managed to get out

"How about this, I'll show you how to do it and how much to put in." offered Shizune

"I'd like that very much" said Naruto

After about an hour of explanations Shizune finally gave Naruto the crash course in self injection and dosage of anti-venom.

"Oh I see how it's done now!" said Naruto exited

"See, it's not that complicated." Said Shizune with a warm smile

"You'd be a good teacher Shizune-Chan; you explain things in a way that it's easy for even me to understand." Said Naruto

"Thank you Naruto, I'm surprised you figured out that the purpose of Anti venom isn't to remove all the poison but to remove enough so that the body could remove it it's self." Said Shizune

"Not really, but it's an interesting concept, if you remove enough poison so the body could handle it it's self you can start to build an immunity to it. If he follows down the lines of a Venom specialist he could become something else." Shizune thoughts about Naruto made her almost giggle in delight. Almost like a perverted giggle that Kakashi would do when ever he read come come paradise.

Naruto looked at Shizune and couldn't understand why she was acting like this, but decided not to make much of it and just ignored it. He makes his way out the door and Shizune called out to him. "Where are you going?" she asked.

Naruto replied "I have to train, I want to master the Rasengan within a week I have my own schedule. And after I master this Skill I want to relearn and master all the skill is had before I lost my arm."

"Oh…" replied Shizune. Naruto had told her how he lost his arm so she understood how he felt. "Ok then I wont' stop you; just try not to stay out all night like Jiraiya says you always do."

As Naruto left the hotel room Shizune's thoughts lingered on the blond. "He strives to better himself like a real man should, and he has an interest in poison. That just gives him a dangerous appeal to him. If he was a decade or so older I'd sink my talons into him." Shizune cursed herself for thinking along those lines and then left to go find Tsunade.

7 days later

Naruto woke up in his hotel room with Jiraiya looking over him.



"Let's go Naruto; we have something important to do." Said Jiraiya not giving the blond any chance of objection

"Where are we going?" Naruto asked as he got dressed, he wasn't too fond of being woken p after only 5 hours of sleep; he had sleep less than 10 hours over the last week he had been training.

"I think…Tsunade is planning on betraying the leaf." said Jiraiya which caused Naruto to trip over his own feet.

"WHAT?!" he yelled

"Calm down Naruto, I don't know the specifics, all I know is she drugged me last night and she was acting very suspicious. So we have to go find her and put a stop to her plans." He said

"I'll go with you." Naruto and Jiraiya both turned to the door way to find a groggy Shizune with a bruise on her forehead

"What happened to you?" Naruto and Jiraiya said at the same time. Causing them both to shiver in disapproval

"Tsunade knocked me out, Orochimaru offered to bring her little brother and her boy friend back if she healed his arms. I tried to talk her out of it but she wouldn't listen"

"It's ok Shizune. Do you know where they went?" asked Jiraiya

"They said to meet in the old Court yard?" said Shizune

"Alright, that's where we are headed, I just hope we're not to late" as that was said all the Nins made their way to the court yard as fast as possible

10 minutes later at the Old Court yard

"Orochimaru" said Jiraiya as he, Naruto, and Shizune entered the court yard.

"Look Kabuto, it's Jiraiya and the Kyuubi brat" said Orochimaru

"Orochimaru-sama, wouldn't it be wise to exterminate the kid now before he becomes a problem down the line?" asked Kabuto

"He posses no threat to me now or ever. We'll let him live." Said Orochimaru

"What about Akatsuki? Don't' they seek the Kyuubi for their plans?" asked Kabuto

"They are temporarily out of commission for the next few months. If we most kill the Kyuubi brat then we'll do it later." Said Orochimaru



"HEY YOU ASS HOLES! DON'T' TALK AS THOUGH I'M NTO RIGHT HERE!" yelled the Kyuubi Vessel.

"Be quite Naruto. Stay back and protect Tsunade, she's out of commission and I need you to protect her." Said Jiraiya trying to calm the hot headed blond

"Why do I have to play the guard? I want to fight!" argued Naruto

"We are up against a Sannin, and a Jounnin that is easily at or above Kakashi's level. Tsunade is in a state of shock due to her phobia of blood. And is a very easy target right now. Although you are the weakest link right now, we need you to keep her from being a liability in our fight."

"…fine…" Naruto said reluctantly

(I'm feeling lazy so I'm just gonna jump to the Naruto Kabuto fight)

After Orochimaru and Jiraiya separated into a battle of their own, Kabuto made quick work of Shizune and set his sites on Tsunade. Only to kind our Favorite demon possessed Gennin Standing in the way.

"GET AWAY FROM TSUNADE!" yelled Naruto as he formed a mesh of swirling chakra in his right hand.

"Naruto, do you think it's smart to try and fight me? You are but a Gennin with very little experience, you are no match for me" said a smug Kabuto "You should just run away, and then get stronger. Because as you are now, you couldn't beat me even if…"

Kabuto was cut off mid sentence due to Naruto's attempt to Rasengan him in the chest. "SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU DON'T KNOW A DAMN THIGN ABOUT ME!" yelled Naruto as he aimed for Kabuto's chest who quickly evaded and with his chakra scalpel, cut the muscles in the back of Naruto's broken leg (AN: if you don't' remember Naruto did break his leg when they summoned a huge snake, so I kept the injury but forgot to add that detail)

"Like I was saying, you're just a weak little Gennin that can't do anything. If you run away now I promise not to chase after you and I wont' even attempt at your life until you're older. This was you could get strong enough to beat me one day." said Kabuto with a sincere yet serious voice. "No point in dying a Gennin right? You have a big dream and if you die here and now, well…that dream won't come to pass now will it?"

Naruto look at Kabuto with a fire and passion in his eyes that Kabuto had never seen in his entire life. "I can't die here, not now, not until I become Hokage…but…I'm not going to run away, I was taught to never abandoned my comrades and I'll stick to that, Because…right…now I'D RATHER DIE AND GIVE UP ON YM DREAMS THAN TO RUN AWAY!" Naruto yelled got the attention of everyone in the area, and almost snapped Tsunade out of her own world.



"What and idiot…" said Kabuto looking at the Orange wearing ninja "Wasting my breath on you was a waste of time and energy. "I'd rather die than run away?" you say? Please allow me to grant your wish" Kabuto removed a kunai out of his holster and ran towards Naruto.

"R…ru…RUN!" yelled Tsunade as Kabuto stabbed at Naruto, soon after a loud cracking sound was heard (AN: Kabuto stabbed into, but did not fully penetrate Naruto's Puppet arm)

"Why would I run? When I'm about to kick his ass?" Naruto said as he extended his arm back and created another mesh of swirling chakra. But what happened next took all but Naruto by surprise.

"Kage…bunshin??" Jiraiya said aloud in disbelief "When did we learn to do that?" Jiraiya asked himself

It was true; Naruto had managed to create a single Kage bunshin with out hand seals. The Kage bunshin didn't last 3 seconds before it dispersed into no existence. But not before helping Naruto mold the Rasengan into a perfect, compressed miniature typhoon in his right hand.

"EAT THIS ASS HOLE!!" Naruto yelled as he Rammed Rasengan into Kabuto's gut. And as Kabuto was preparing himself for impact, Naruto did something else that took all by surprise. He Pointed at Kabuto with his puppet arm and fired a hoard of King Cobra venom drenched Needles. Kabuto was sent flying well over 200 yards away from Naruto and Tsunade. "HOW'S THAT!" Naruto yelled at the top of his lungs, exerting the very last bit of energy that he had. Soon after he fell back and passed out from exhaustion.

Done

Sigh that was long and I feel it was kind of just…dragged along. I have a few comments before I let you guys go…because I have trapped you in your seat and you will now be forced to read the rest with out you realizing it. ….if only it where true. Anyways, I didn't plan on having Naruto learn Seal-less Kage bunshins. Not yet anyways, but I didn't see any way around it so I kind of just put it in there. But at least I didn't make him do a huge amount. It was only 1…and only 3 seconds at that. If you have any problems with it just blame my uncreative mind. As for my story line, I have HUGE plans for it but I need to keep going with the original story line until after Sauske defects. I'm sorry for the typical retelling of the story line that most fics have but I promise that after 2 or 3 more updates I'll do a complete 180 to the Naruto story line. Now in case you haven't pieced it together, I'm gonna make Naruto fairly proficient in Toxicology, King cobra venom is just the beginning in his arsenal. And I've thought up of an alteration for his puppet arm that will be implemented in a few years worth in the story. Also….as far as a pairing…I said that I wasn't going to do it, and I'm still sticking by it, but I'm kind of warming up to the idea of it. So if I do make a pairing Hinata is the one I will use because of 2 reasons, 1 to make her adaptable 2 Naruto's situation and environment would be easiest (at least in my opinion) and 2. I 3 Naru Hina as a pairing. But don't' expect a lovey dovey fic; I'm trying to stay away from that.



Also in my 1st chapter I said that no flames where allowed, but I'd like to change that. If you want to flame me I say go ahead, I'm no1 to stop you from expressing yourselves. Just try and turn the flamage into constructive criticism, but if you can then flame away I guess. If I made any mistakes I'd appreciate it if you pointed them out 4 me.

Well that's it for me…please read and review and hopefully you'll enjoy it
