Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll be seeing what Team Seven's training will be like for the next month, along with some shocking reveals. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
Edited: 3/7/2023
As Naruto, Satsuki and Sakura left to go meet with Kakashi, none of them were aware that their home was being watched by an Anbu. Though while the Anbu was wearing the standard black cloak and animal mask, the mask didn't have any markings, instead being left blank.
The Anbu watched Team Seven as they left before looking back at the house to see if Karin, Kin or Tayuya would come out. Waiting for a few moments until they Shunshined away, knowing it's time to report to their leader.
*ROOT Headquarters*
Reappearing in an underground facility on an upper levels walkway, the Anbu knelt before the leader and founder of the Foundation, Danzō Shimura.
"Report." Commanded Danzō, wanting to know what they've learned.
"Danzō-sama, the Kyūbi Jinchūriki and its teammates have just left to meet with Kakashi Hatake. While the two Oto spies and the Kusa Ninja remain within the house. I was unable to risk waiting for them to leave to avoid being discovered." Said the Anbu, making the Darkness of Shinobi frown in annoyance.
Not liking that Konoha's weapon is interacting with spies from Otogakure and one from Kusa, even worse was what clan that Kusa Ninja comes from. Unfortunately they can't do anything as long as they were in the perimeter of the house. With Kakashi having set up a barrier, ensuring no one can get in unless a member of Team Seven allows them to enter.
The Copy Ninja may have had his students move in together to improve their team building, but he also wasn't foolish to leave them unprotected on the outskirts of the village.
Slamming his cane down a few times, five more ROOT Anbu appeared beside the first in front of Danzō.
"You three will remain on standby around the house for when the Oto spies will leave before moving in to eliminate them. While you three watch the Jinchūriki and his team closely, if the weapon shows even a hint of treason eliminate all witnesses and capture it so it may be reconditioned." Danzō ordered, refusing to let whatever Orochimaru's planning take away Konoha's weapon.
"Hai, Danzō-sama." Said the Anbu before they all Shunshined away to fulfill their orders.
'As for the Uzumaki girl, Hiruzen will at least be smart enough to know to send her back to Kusa and if he isn't then I will ensure he does. With any lucky the little brat will die soon enough, just like her mother.' Thought Danzō, knowing he needed to get Karin out of Konoha as soon as possible before she causes even more damage.
With him having been aware of her and her mother being in Kusagakure and would have eliminated them the moment he did. The only reason he didn't is Kusa was saving him the trouble and killed the mother, and will likely kill the daughter soon enough with how they're using her.
'One less member of that cursed clan the better. All of them should've just died off, like the Uchiha.' Danzō thought, annoyed at how even after being all but wiped out, the Uzumaki Clan still proved to be too stubborn to die.
Even after he provided Iwa, Kiri, Suna and the minor nations allied with them the knowledge of the weaknesses in the Land of Whirlpool's defenses. Along with having sent Konoha Ninja that were loyal to him or shared his views to help in the invasion. Despite all that, he still had to deal with Uzumaki causing problems and threatening Konoha, even from beyond the grave.
Regardless of Uzushio being allied with Konoha and the aid they provided the village, as far as Danzō was concerned the Uzumaki Clan had been as much of a threat as the Uchiha Clan. Given their mastery of Fūinjutsu and claim to the Kyūbi as it was only possible to seal it into an Uzumaki, they were too much of a danger to Konoha. A danger he refused to let grow any stronger than it already did, ensuring they were utterly destroyed.
He would've even killed that stubborn and short-tempered brat Kushina as well, if she wasn't needed to seal the Kyūbi away and keep it in Konoha. But that didn't mean he was going to let her move around freely as even if she would be a Konoha Ninja, she would always be an outsider.
Leading the warhawk to make a deal with Kumogakure, leaking the information of the girls special Chakra that makes her perfect to contain the Kyūbi along with paying off her caretakers in the Senju Clan Compound, allowing the Kumo Ninja that were sent to kidnap her without issue.
After that was done the plan had been simple, once the Kumo Ninja were far enough away from Konoha the ROOT Anbu he sent would kill them and take Kushina. Bringing her back to have her broken into a proper weapon for Konoha, as well as ensuring she would never be able to revive the Uzumaki Clan. As if anyone posed the most threat to them returning, it would be the eldest daughter of the Uzumaki Clan Head as well as the leader of the Land of Whirlpools and Uzushiogakure.
'The plan had been perfect until that annoying, meddlesome brat Namikaze had to act like a hero.' Danzō thought, hating how Minato ruined his plan by saving Kushina before his agents could make their move.
He had been tempted to have the boy dealt with, knowing if he could interfere in one of his plans, then he'd likely interfere in future ones. But the elder had been able to salvage his plan, using one of his Yamanaka agents to alter Kushina's mind and tamper with her hormones. Making the girl fall in love with Namikaze for saving her from a horrible fate. After all, if he couldn't turn her into a proper weapon, then he'd simply make his own.
It honestly surprised the warhawk that no one suspected anything about her sudden change in behavior. That the normally tomboyish and strong-willed Princess of the Uzumaki Clan would suddenly fall in love with her savior, like a damsel in distress. He'd even had several of his Anbu observing those that knew her in case they suspected anything, yet no one assumed anything was wrong.
With the two together, Danzō's new plan was to wait until their first child was born to have the Kyūbi transferred to it and turn them into his weapon. While Minato and Kushina would suffer from an unfortunate accident. Which all came to fruition, with minimal effort on his part, thanks to his temporary alliance with the Masked Uchiha.
Having known about him sneaking within Konoha before offering his assistance in releasing the Kyūbi, providing the location of where the delivery would happen and information on the protection being used. Along with ensuring that the protection Minato and Kushina would have would be much lower quality. Not only allowing the Masked Man to take them out, but also ensuring those that died wouldn't be any important losses.
Everything had gone perfectly, with the Kyūbi being sealed into the boy, his parents dead and unable to cause him any more problems. Even better that Konoha no longer had a Hokage, which would've also helped Danzō achieve his lifelong goal and gain full control of Konoha. It was only better that it provided him the perfect chance to eliminate the Uchiha Clan as well, by casting suspicion on them for causing the Kyūbi Attack.
Unfortunately, like with his original plan for Kushina, he was once again thwarted in creating Konoha's weapon. This time by Hiruzen, who not only retook the title of Hokage but refused to give him the boy to mold him into a proper weapon. His old rival naively believing a weapon needed a normal childhood, something that only made the brat as much of an annoyance as his mother. Even worse his friendship with the Uchiha girl, and now living with her.
'And now…now Orochimaru has tainted Konoha's weapon while allowing him to learn of the Uzumaki Clan by leading that girl to him! With his spies trying to take away what belongs to Konoha!' Thought Danzō, angered at Orochimaru believing he could try stealing the Kyūbi from Konoha.
The only benefit from the entire mess is that it's helped to drive a wedge between Hiruzen and the weapon. But even then, it was only due to learning about the Uzumaki Clan and the secrets Hiruzen kept from him. Which has also now begun encouraging the boy to try and learn more about his heritage.
Something the warhawk couldn't allow to happen, no matter who needed to be eliminated or what needed to be done.
"For the good of Konoha." Danzō muttered, knowing there's nothing he won't do to make sure all threats to the village were utterly destroyed.
*With Team Seven*
Meanwhile, Naruto, Satsuki and Sakura had soon reached Training Ground Three, surprised when they saw Kakashi with Anko and Team Eight's Jōnin Sensei, Kurenai Yūhi. Along with two other people they didn't recognize.
The first was an adult man with fair skin, short brown hair and black, almond-shaped eyes. With his attire being the standard uniform for Konoha Ninja, with some differences. With his not having the Uzushiogakure crest on the shoulders of the sleeves, and the neck of his navy-blue shirt is form fitting and goes up to his chin, two hip pouches strapped to his lower back instead of just one, and a happuri-style forehead protector that frames his face.
And the second is an older, tall and well-built man with fair skin, waist-length, spiky white hair that he usually ties back into a pony tail, with two shoulder-length bangs framing his face. There were red lines under his black eyes which extended all the way down his face. Along with wrinkles around the corners of his mouth and a wart on the left side of his nose. With him wearing a green short shirt kimono and matching pants, under which he wore mesh armour that is visible at his wrists and ankles, hand guards, a black belt, traditional wooden sandals, and a red haori with two yellow circles on each side, a large scroll on his back, and had a tattoo on his left palm, and he wore a horned forehead protector with the kanji for "oil".
"Uh, Kakashi-sensei? Why are Kurenai-sensei and Anko-sensei here? And who're these two?" Sakura asked, wondering why the four were here.
"Anko and Kurenai are here to help you three with your training. While these are Yamato a fellow Jōnin and this is Jiraiya-sama, one of the legendary Sannin. They're also here to help with your training." Replied Kakashi, much to the Genin's shock.
"You all are helping us?!" Satsuki said, not expecting them to get help being trained by three other Jōnin and a Sannin.
"You're a Sannin?!" Said Naruto, also shocked that they were getting more training from other Jōnin, but also from a Sannin.
"That's right. Given what Sarutobi-sensei told me is going on, he thought it'd be good if I was in the village with my old teammate slithering around. Not to mention the interest he seems to have in you two." Jiraiya said looking at Naruto and Satsuki, making the two stiffen.
"Don't worry, they all know the situation. So while they are here to help with your training, it's also to try and deter Orochimaru from trying anything else." Added Kakashi, with the Genin nodding slowly in response.
"So…what're we going to start on?" Sakura asked, only for Kakashi to pull out three pieces of paper and hand them to each of his students.
"We'll start with this first. This is called Chakra Paper, it helps Ninja to discover what their Elemental Affinities are, whether it's Water, Earth, Fire, Wind, or Lightning. All you need to do is channel some Chakra into it and it'll reveal your Chakra Nature." Kakashi explained, taking out another piece and channeling some Chakra into it, causing the paper to suddenly crinkle.
"As you can see, the paper crinkled up showing I have a Lightning Affinity." Said Kakashi, with the trio frowning at this.
"But you've used Water Style Ninjutsu and Earth Style Ninjutsu. Wouldn't you have Water and Earth Affinities too?" Questioned Satsuki, making the Copy Ninja eye-smile at them.
"While I may have a Lightning Affinity, you don't need an affinity to a specific element to use Elemental Ninjutsu for said Chakra Nature, it only makes them easier to use and cost less Chakra. Not only that, but with enough time and training a Ninja can develop an affinity for other Chakra Natures. The possession of at least two is one of the requirements to become a Jōnin while some of the most powerful Ninja in history developed an affinity for all five Chakra Natures after decades of training. With it helping that my Sharingan allows me to copy different Elemental Ninjutsu and perfectly using them, I simply made sure to just channel my primary affinity into the Chakra Paper. You'll be able to do the same as your Sharingan develops, allowing you to use any Chakra Nature you want." Explained Kakashi, with the ravenette smirking at this.
"Now, go ahead and channel some Chakra into the paper to see what you three have. If you have an Earth Affinity it'll crumble into dirt, a Fire Affinity will have it burn into ash, Water Affinity the paper will get damp, and for a Wind Affinity it'll split int half." Yamato said as the Genin nodded in response and channeled some Chakra into the paper.
With Sakura's getting wet before crumbling away into dirt, showing she had a Water Affinity and Earth Affinity. While Satsuki's paper crinkled up and then ignited until it was ash, having a Lightning Affinity and a Fire Affinity.
Though everyone was shocked when Naruto's paper suddenly split into four pieces, showing he had a Wind Affinity. Only for one piece to burn into ash, another to crumble into dirt, the third got damp, and the fourth crinkled up. Even more shocking when the dirt and wet piece seemed to merge together and began growing plants.
"What the fuck?!" Said Anko in shock and disbelief at what they just saw.
"Th-that…that shouldn't be possible! Have two or maybe three affinities, especially if you have a Kekkei Genkai, is one thing! But to have all five at such a young age! And then…" Kurenai said with wide eyes, having never heard of someone naturally possessing an affinity for all five Chakra Natures.
"Does…does that mean I have…all five?" Naruto asked in surprise, not expecting that.
"I-it…it seems so. This is honestly very unexpected." Said Kakashi in shock while wondering if the Curse Seal somehow had something to do with this, honestly not surprised if it did at this point.
"But what about that last one? Why did the Earth and Water Affinities just…merge?" Questioned Sakura, feeling just as shocked but also curious about that.
"It shows he has a Kekkei Genkai. And with the elements that mixed and the result, it means he possesses the Mokuton." Yamato revealed, shocking the Genin further.
"He has the Mokuton?! How?!" Satsuki said, while feeling rather jealous that Naruto had all five Elemental Affinities and the Kekkei Genkai of the Shodai Hokage.
"No idea how, but it just means one more thing he'll have to train and learn how to use." Said Jiraiya, wondering if it had something to do with the Curse Seal or even the distant relation Naruto had to the Senju Clan as a member of the Uzumaki Clan playing a part.
"How am I supposed to learn to use Mokuton if no one else has it?" Said Naruto, given how only the Shodai Hokage is known to have the Mokuton.
"I can help with that. Wood Style: Nativity of a Sea of Trees!" Yamato said, going through handseals before the Genin were shocked as dozens of trees began growing out the ground around them.
"How do you have Mokuton?!" Sakura said, shocked that Yamato also had Mokuton, making her wonder if he's related to the Shodai Hokage.
"Let's just say I've had my own run-ins with Orochimaru. But while my abilities are nowhere near the Shodai's own, I'm still skilled enough to teach you how to utilize it." Said Yamato, with the whiskered ravenette nodding slowly in response, still shocked he had Mokuton and that Yamato had it as well.
"So…so what exactly will our training be?" Questioned Satsuki, wanting to at least learn what they'll be training in, before they get any other sudden surprises.
"Y-yes. Anyway…I'll be helping you and Sakura, Satsuki, with your Genjutsu. Since from what I've read you have a talent for Genjutsu, Sakura, and your Sharingan makes you naturally aligned with them as well, Satsuki. I'm also going to be helping all three of you with your Chakra Control since Genjutsu requires perfect control, along with ensuring you don't use more Chakra than you need to with your Jutsu." Kurenai said, after calming down from her shock.
"I'll be helping you in training your Elemental Affinities, specifically your Water and Earth Affinities. And for you Satsuki, I'll be using my Mokuton to help you train your speed and evasion." Said Yamato, knowing Kakashi planned to teach Satsuki the Chidori, which means she'll need to be fast and able to dodge attacks coming at her
"I'll mostly be helping train you brat to use a special Chakra you have inside you." Jiraiya said looking at Naruto, making the Uzumaki stiffen slightly.
"What kind of Chakra?" Naruto asked, only for the Toad Sage to give him a knowing look.
"The kind that's red." Said Jiraiya, intending to have Naruto work on harnessing the Kyūbi's Chakra, giving him a better alternative than using the Curse Seal.
"What is that red Chakra anyway?" Satsuki asked while looking at Naruto, the pinkette doing the same, both of them wanting to know what the red Chakra they saw Naruto use is.
"I'll tell you both later, after we're done training for today." Said Naruto in resignation, figuring if he's going to be learning how to use the Kyūbi's Chakra then it'd be better to just tell them now than wait.
The girls frowned at this, but nodded in response, wanting to know what other Chakra Naruto had inside of him.
"One other thing I'll be teaching you is the Summoning Jutsu, letting you be able to summon toad to help you in battle." Jiraiya said, causing Naruto to frown at him.
"Aren't you supposed to be a Fūinjutsu Master?" Naruto asked, with Jiraiya raising a brow at the sudden question.
"I am a Fūinjutsu Master, one of the best in Konoha." Replied Jiraiya.
"Then could I learn Fūinjutsu, instead?" Said Naruto, hoping to get started on learning his clans specialty.
"What's wrong with the Summoning Jutsu?!" Jiraiya said, feeling insulted he'd want to learn Fūinjutsu over the Summoning Jutsu.
Not to mention it didn't sit well with the Sannin, hoping to have Naruto summon toads like his father did, along with having a means to Reverse Summon him should he actually go rogue.
"It just seems more useful than summoning toad would be, right now. As you can create a lot of different seals that can be used for different situations." Naruto replied, knowing it'd also be more useful to use Fūinjutsu rather than summons in the finals.
"The toads are incredibly versatile! You can use Collaboration Ninjutsu with them, use them as messengers, hide inside them to sneak into places, have them fight beside you in battle, toads that can track people! You can even summon toads the bigger than the walls around the village! They also have unique Jutsu you'd be able to learn and a special ability you can only get with summons!" Said Jiraiya, hoping that'll get him more interested in summoning toads than Fūinjutsu.
"Great, maybe I'll learn the Summoning Jutsu after the finals!" Naruto retorted, now getting annoyed at his instance over summoning toads rather than something actually useful for the Chūnin Exams.
"That all sounds really great, but none of those things would help Naruto in an arena battle. What's he going to do, summon a giant toad in the middle of an arena, that'd probably take out his opponent, along with everyone else in the area." Said Satsuki, with Sakura nodding in agreement.
"While all that would be useful out on missions or against larger enemies, we are just supposed to be training for the finals. And Naruto's right that Fūinjutsu would be something better to learn for the matches. I'd actually like to try learning it too, if you could teach me Jiraiya-sama." Sakura said, also being interested in learning Fūinjutsu after learning about it.
Plus, the pinkette knew unlike her teammates, she didn't have a Kekkei Genkai or special abilities to use, so she wanted to try learning everything she could to make up for it.
"Alright, fine! I'll teach you both Fūinjutsu if you want it so badly! But after the finals, it'll be the Summoning Jutsu." Said Jiraiya in annoyance, not liking being pushed by three Genin.
"That just leaves me and Kakashi. We'll be helping you brats with your overall training in Ninjutsu, Taijutsu and tracking." Anko said, crossing her arms while the trio nodded in understanding.
"Now for the training schedule. We have an entire month, that gives us five weeks to prepare you all. For the first week we'll be focusing on your Chakra Control, physical abilities, and getting a decent proficiency with your Elemental Affinities. Week two we'll be moving onto Ninjutsu, Genjutsu and Taijutsu, dividing each day into three parts for all three skills. Then weeks three and four will be individual training, that way you three will have some surprises, given Satsuki and Sakura will be fighting. And the final week will be up to you three to train yourselves on what you've learned to improve and learn anything else that would prove useful for the finals. The weekends will also be yours as well to train however you see fit." Explained Kakashi, knowing they would have a lot to cover and needed to make do with the time they had available.
"So then we'll be starting with Chakra Control now." Sakura stated, with the Jōnin nodding.
"That's right. Follow me and we'll get started on the first Chakra Control Exercise you'll be learning." Said Kurenai, motioning the Genin to follow her over to the river to have them start learning the Water Walking Exercise.
Once they were a good distance away, Kakashi looked at Jiraiya with a serious expression.
"Aside from the Kyūbi's Chakra and Fūinjutsu, did you plan to teach Naruto anything else?" Kakashi asked, wanting to know if the Toad Sage had anything else planned for Naruto's training.
"I was thinking about teaching the brat the Rasengan since you're going to teach the Uchiha the Chidori as a means to have another source of power besides the Curse Seal. The Rasengan would be the same, since while he'll have the Kyūbi, with what the Curse Seal did to the Eight Trigrams Seal. It'd be good for him to have something else to use, just in case. Plus, he'd probably jump at the chance to learn one of Minato's signature Jutsu." Explained Jiraiya, unsure if using the Kyūbi's Chakra could also cause the Curse Seal to activate as well, so he wanted to give Naruto something else to use if that was the case.
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Kakashi asked, making the Toad Sage look at him.
"What do you mean?" Jiraiya said, only for Kakashi to look at his students as Kurenai demonstrated Water Walking to them.
"I don't think that Naruto is mentally and emotionally mature enough for a jutsu as powerful as the Rasengan. It's for that same reason why I didn't tell him about the true purpose of the Shadow Clone Jutsu yet, as there's a good chance he may overtax himself mentally. Not only that, but after the Curse Seal merged with the Eight Trigrams Seal, Naruto seems more short-tempered and easy to anger." Said Kakashi, remembering how Naruto acted while the Sandaime explained the Chūnin Exams true purpose, and then what he said to Ino.
It worried the Copy Ninja that he would potentially try using the Rasengan against an ally if they upset him, enough.
While Jiraiya frowned at his words and thought them over along with everything he learned after arriving in the village. Everything that happened in the Forest of Death and after Team Seven arrived at the tower with Karin and Kin.
"You're probably right." Stated Jiraiya, conceding to Kakashi's points, that it'd likely be better to hold off on Naruto learning the Rasengan.
"Not only that, but on the off-chance the brat actually does go rogue, it'd be better that he doesn't have the Rasengan. Especially if he does end up going to Orochimaru." Jiraiya added, preferring his former students signature Jutsu wasn't in the hands of his old teammate.
"Yeah…" Kakashi muttered with a frown, not wanting to imagine Minato's and Kushina's son would ever actually turn on his home, he also couldn't ignore the possibility of it happening.
*Later*
After learning what their training would consist of and the schedule for it, Team Seven started working with Kurenai on their Chakra Control. With the Genjutsu Mistress first teaching them the Water Walking Exercise, explaining how it's done and giving a demonstration. Before she then had them begin practicing it themselves.
Only for the Genin to make excellent progress in it, with Sakura managing to get the hang of it the fastest due to her already having near perfect Chakra Control. With Satsuki managing to get it next, after a few difficulties when she used too much Chakra, causing the water to explode. While Naruto got it soon after, having fallen into the water a few times before managing to stay on top of it.
They kept practicing it for another two hours before the Jōnin had them begin their physical training, with Sakura and Satsuki working with Anko and Yamato on it. While Jiraiya took Naruto off to the side to begin learning Fūinjutsu.
"Okay brat, since you're eager to learn Fūinjutsu, we'll be starting with the basics. Making Storage Scrolls." Jiraiya said, unsealing some blanks scrolls and Sealing Tags, brushes, and ink, along with some beginner books on Fūinjutsu.
"I can at least make Storage Scrolls." Said Naruto with a frown, knowing enough about Fūinjutsu to make Storage Scrolls if he needs to.
"Oh really? Can you make a Storage Scroll that can seal away a Jutsu and then shoot it back out? What about one that draws objects to it and seals them away? Or what about Storage Scrolls to put living beings inside without killing them? Can you make scrolls like that?" Said Jiraiya challengingly.
"…No." Naruto muttered, making the Sannin nod and pass him the scrolls, ink, and brushes.
"I didn't think so. This isn't it like Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, or Taijutsu. It's one of the most complex and unknown Ninja Arts there is, you can make a seal for practically anything you could think of, but it needs to be perfect. Just the smallest of mistakes and you could end up blowing yourself up or throwing yourself halfway across the continent. Even with my experience and knowledge I make sure to study any new seal I come across down to the last detail before messing with it. So, before we go onto the more complex ones, and definitely before you can even think of making your own, we'll start with the basics" Jiraiya explained, with the whiskered ravenette nodding in response before he got to work on reading the beginner books.
*Later*
After Naruto read the books he got to work on making different Storage Scrolls, giving them to Jiraiya once he'd finished them to see if they were good.
With the Sannin unable to help but be impressed and worried with each scroll Naruto gave him.
'Kami, I knew the Uzumaki were supposed to have a talent, but this beyond anything I was expecting.' Jiraiya thought in disbelief while looking over the scrolls.
Seeing while the first few were Storage Scrolls, the rest of them were anything but.
'Even the Storage Scrolls he made aren't normal, two of these are two-way scrolls, put something in one and take it out of the other. Then this one looks like a Summoning Seal, probably due to him subconsciously remembering the one on the Heaven Scroll and Earth Scroll, he'd probably put seals on different things and they could be Reverse-Summoned into the scroll. Not only that but the kid also managed to incorporate Locking Seals into all of them, making it so only the person whose Chakra is registered can open them safely, without getting a nasty surprise. And then some aren't even real Storage Scrolls, they're trapped ones. If anyone opened this they'd be turned into a pin cushion from the kunai that'd shoot out of it. This one would forcibly suck someone in and leave them trapped until they were let out.' Thought Jiraiya before he looked at the Sealing Tags Naruto had also ended up making.
'Then there's these things, none of these are even meant to seal anything inside them! This one has a Sticking Seal and an Explosive Seal on it, making it so it'll stick to a person to keep it from getting it off then boom. These ones would either make something or someone as light as a feather or as heavy as a boulder. And these ones, you'd be able to pour Chakra into them and it'd be converted into Elemental Chakra before shooting out as an attack. Then these ones, they could either attract or repel objects, along with sealing them inside for the ones attracted to the seal. And this one…if it's put on someone, then the seals would spread across their body and leave them completely immobile.' Jiraiya thought in disbelief, before looking at the Uzumaki.
Only to see Naruto didn't even seem to realize what he's doing anymore, instead simply continuing to make different seals and passing them to him to look over. The sight made Jiraiya frown a little, remembering how Minato would always get absorbed into working on a new seal. Sometimes even forgetting where he is and losing track of time. Only really stopping when he finished or someone got his attention.
'Guess the brat can act like his father too.' Thought Jiraiya, having heard that Naruto had the same personality as Kushina, but was glad he could act like Minato too.
"Oi!" Jiraiya said loudly while clapping his hands, startling the whiskered ravenette before he looked at the Toad Sage in annoyance.
"I think that's enough for today, now it's time to begin learning to use the Kyūbi's Chakra." Said Jiraiya, making Naruto frown.
"Do I have to?" Naruto asked, doubting the Kyūbi would be willing to just let him use its Chakra.
"Yes. You have what's basically a natural disaster sealed inside of you that could only be stopped by being sealed away. It'd be foolish to not try utilizing power like that." Jiraiya replied, while he also hoped that by using the Kyūbi's Chakra it'd do something about the Curse Seal.
"Fine. Then how am I supposed to use it?" Said Naruto, not sure how he was supposed to use the Kyūbi's Chakra, given when he used it before he was really angry.
"I don't know. Just try…focusing on the seal and entering it or something. The fox is inside you, so try entering your own head." Said Jiraiya, given this was new territory for him in trying to train a Jinchūriki to use their Bijū's Chakra.
'Yeah cause that's really helpful.' Naruto thought rolling his eyes before closing them and tried focusing on the seal and the Kyūbi.
"…Is it working?" Jiraiya asked after a few moments, while Naruto's face scrunched up in concentration before he opened his eyes.
"No." Said Naruto, making Jiraiya frown.
"Well have you used it before? Maybe you were feeling something that made you draw on it." Said Jiraiya, wondering if a stimulus was needed for him to use the fox's power.
"I've used it twice and not by choice. And both times I was really angry. That's not exactly a good thing if I can't control myself." Naruto said, not wanting to lose control if he gets too angry.
"Then just try remembering the feeling you had during those times, the memory of it all." Jiraiya suggested, with the Uzumaki frowning but nodded and closed his eyes again.
Going back to the moments he used the Kyūbi's Chakra in the Land of Waves and the Forest of Death, when he believed Satsuki had been killed. The shock he felt at the sight of Satsuki not moving, what Haku had said, the feeling of losing someone he cared about. And then only anger and a desire to kill, no longer feeling or reacting, only acting and wanting to rip someone apart.
Then in the Forest of Death, the taunts and insults from Orochimaru, feeling helpless against an opponent that didn't even seem to be trying. Along with desperation of what would happen if he lost, what would happen to his teammates. The feeling helplessness that they could've died, before it turned into anger at why they were being targeted, when it wasn't for their scroll.
Naruto clenched his hands around his legs at remembering it all the feelings it all brought up, starting to feel the familiar rage again. Before the whiskered ravenette yelped when Jiraiya suddenly flicked him, knocking Naruto over.
"What was that for?!" Naruto demanded, annoyed at why he broke his concentration.
"It didn't look like it was working and I didn't need you getting worked up." Jiraiya said, hiding the fact that his markings had started glowing and spreading over his body.
Much to the Sannin's worry at the sight, knowing he needed to break Naruto's concentration before the Curse Seal fully activated.
"Yeah well what other idea is there then?" Said Naruto in annoyance, while the Toad Sage sighed in thought.
"Maybe just…let your mind drift away. Don't think of anything, don't focus or remember, just…let yourself wander." Said Jiraiya, hoping this attempt will work, otherwise he'd have to take more drastic actions to have Naruto call on the Kyūbi's Chakra.
Frowning at this, Naruto nodded before getting into a meditative position again and closed his eyes, while relaxing his body. Blocking out everything around, the sounds, smells, feeling, everything he blocked out.
'Just…wander…' Naruto thought, inhaling deeply before exhaling as he let his mind drift away from everything.
*Mindscape*
Opening his eyes, Naruto was shocked to find himself looking at the large forest while standing inside a large chamber that looked like it came from a sewer. Even more shocking was seeing how the forest seemed to be spreading out and into the sewer.
"Wh-what is this? Is this…my mind? Why does it…look like this?" Naruto said, looking around at the sewer slowly being replaced by the forest, along with noticing where the forest was coming from.
Seeing that the source of the forest was coming from inside a large caged in area.
"Is this…where the Kyūbi is supposed to be?" Said Naruto, stunned at the sight of the cage's rusted.
Hesitantly approaching the gate, Naruto reached out and touched one of the bars only to cry out and cover his head when the gates immediately started falling apart. Hearing them come crashing down around him, before he opened his eyes once it stopped. The whiskered ravenette being surprised to see all the debris had crashed down around him, despite how close he'd been standing to the cage.
"I…guess I can't die in my own mind. That's good." Naruto muttered, knowing something that big falling on him would've definitely killed him.
Looking into the area where the forest was coming from, Naruto frowned when he didn't see any sign of the Kyūbi.
"Uh…hello?! Kyūbi?! Anyone?!" Naruto called out, but didn't get a response or see any sign of movement.
Entering the area, Naruto looked around for anything that'd tell him where the Kyūbi could be, only to stop in shock when he saw something suspended in the air. Seeing it looked like a cocoon wrapped in wood, vines and chains, along with seeming to be the source of the forest. Along with seeing what looked like horns coming out the top and a tail from behind it.
"What the hell is tha-AAAHHHH!" Said Naruto only to scream and wrap his arms around his abdomen as the Curse Seal began glowing and activating as the markings spread across his body.
'Wh-what the hell is going on?! Why's the Curse Seal activating now?!' Naruto thought through gritted teeth, before he noticed the cocoon began shaking and cracking open.
'That thing?! Is it connected to the Curse Seal?!' Thought Naruto, before without warning the cocoon suddenly burst open, revealing the being that had been inside of it.
Only for the whiskered ravenette to blush and feel the same urge he got when Karin slept with him in her underwear and when he was with Tayuya in the shower came rushing back at the sight of just who came out of the cocoon.
With it being a breath-takingly beautiful young woman, looking to be eighteen-to-twenty-years-old with dark grey skin with patches of shining black scales on her shoulders, thighs, and the end of her tail that emerged from her tail bone. Long pure white hair with black horns sticking out of her head, as well as ruby red eyes with narrow slit pupils and light yellow sclera. With her also having a pair of white wings with black membranes coming out of her back.
Along with her being completely naked showing off her toned and curvaceous figure, large DD-cup breasts with maroon/burgundy colored nipples, and her bare snatch.
'A hot…naked…beautiful…dragon girl…is in my head…' Thought Naruto, having to resist the growing urge to fuck her next, while also resisting the urge to keep checking her out, knowing if he did, he likely he wouldn't be able to hold back for long.
"U-u-uh-uh…wh-who…who are you?" Naruto asked, feeling only a little flustered thanks to losing his virginity to Tayuya and Kin, but at the same time now that he's had a taste of sex, he's finding it hard to control himself.
"Hmm…I don't actually have a name. But I am the consciousness of the Curse Seal of Hell." Replied the dragon girl, which also pulled Naruto back to his senses as he looked at her in shock.
"You're what?!" Said Naruto in shock at what she just said, now feeling a little wary of her.
"I just told you. As for how I was born, I was born from the Kyūbi and the Chakra Fragments of your parents that they had placed within the Eight Trigrams Seal. Which I had assimilated after the Kyūbi's attempt to purge me, and given the nature of my birth that now makes me your sister in a sense. It's a pleasure to meet you, Onii-chan." The girl said, smiling happily at the shocked and frozen Uzumaki.
So, what did you think, good. Yep we see a ROOT Anbu watching Team Seven's house before going to report to Danzō, with him ordering some of his agents to watch Team Seven and their house, waiting for a chance to take out Kin and Tayuya, and grab Naruto should he prove to be a threat to Konoha. As well as intending to send Karin back to Kusa, while having known about her and her mother but did nothing, along with revealing the part he played in Uzushio's destruction.
Due to seeing the Uzumaki Clan as a threat to Konoha with their Fūinjutsu and claim to the Kyūbi, due to how only an Uzumaki can contain it. With him also having planned to turn Kushina into a weapon by allying to Kumo to kidnap her before having his Anbu bring her back. Only for Minato to ruin it by saving Kushina, leading the warhawk to instead tamper with her memories and hormones to fall in love with Minato.
And would anyone really be surprised if Danzō really did that, given what we saw of Kushina and her personality when she first arrived in Konoha, and showing no interest in Minato until after he saved her, then suddenly she's head over heels in love. If that's all took, then Sakura should have been madly in love with Naruto with how many times he saved her.
With us then seeing Danzō planned to turn their firstborn child into his weapon while Minato and Kushina would have an unfortunate accident. Managing to get away with it by allying with the Masked Uchiha, having Naruto become a Jinchūriki, Minato and Kushina dying, getting the chance to become Hokage and deal with the Uchiha Clan all at once. Only for his plan to be ruined again by Hiruzen this time, preventing Danzō from getting Naruto under his control.
With him now intending to deal with all the threats to Konoha less subtly, "all for the good of Konoha", no matter what he has to do.
Then we see Team Seven learning who'll be helping them with their training, much to their shock at having three other Jōnin help them and a Sannin. Before they have their Chakra Natures tested, with Naruto showing to have all five affinities (thanks to the Genryū Chakra in the Curse Seal) and the Mokuton, something that Yamato will be able to help him with. Before they learn what the next month of training will be like, though Naruto insists on learning Fūinjutsu from Jiraiya instead of the Summoning Jutsu, with Satsuki and Sakura agreeing it'd be more useful, the latter also being interested in learning Fūinjutsu, making Jiraiya relent.
Finally we see their training start with learning Water Walking, which they all manage to get the hang of, before Naruto starts his Fūinjutsu training. Showing the same talent as his parents and why the Uzumaki Clan were so feared. With Jiraiya eventually getting Naruto's attention to begin learning to harness the Kyūbi's Chakra, entering his mindscape after some trial and error.
Only to find the Kyūbi gone and a forest growing throughout his mindscape, before finding the cocoon the Curse Seal made, causing the Curse Seal to activate due to the proximity to the cocoon, which soon hatches revealing the newly formed consciousness of the Curse Seal of Hell (with her appearance being based on Stella Vermillion's Excessive Awakening Form), with her also, in a way due to the circumstances of her birth, being Naruto's new sister. So, for those that like the story, thanks for your support. For those that don't or at least don't like the direction taken, you're more than welcomed to drop the story. But thanks for giving the story a chance anyway.
