Tadaam. Here I am again with the new chapter. Hope you will like it. And do not forget to review. They became lesser and lesser in numbers with each chapter. Also I said my other story will be next but it isn't. I am sorry, but this fic is more interesting for me. Unfortunately this chapter is also unchecked by my beta, so I am very sorry for all my mistakes.
Chapter 3: I leave you in this harsh world.
The whole next year Naruto was training with his mysterious anbu teacher. This year was very interesting for our young hero. He became more confident and happy child. He was training with his now best friend and mentor in secret from everyone, even from his mother. Young Anbu said that if someone learns their training will stop. Naruto became very promising young shinobi. Weasel said that he was more powerful than legendary shinobi prodigy Uchiha Itachi was in his age. This prize from his teacher boasted Naruto's confidence even more. To the point he became arrogant, but Weasel quickly beat that out of him in their training session.
The most part of his training was strength and speed training. Sadly even if he was genius of shinobi ways his muscles didn't became bigger from only that. In the beginning Weasel taught him three academic jutsus – Bunshin, Kawarimi and Henge. As it was expected Naruto was done in just one day. Andu still couldn't believe how fast his young pupil gasped everything he showed. It was just unbelievable. It was like boy carried sharingan genes. His chakra levels and control other it was at top level for a child his age. He had big reserves, but not big enough to mess up his control, so a few days climbing trees and walking on the water did the work. So with this astonishing progress, Weasel decided it would be best to build up his strength and speed with some taijutsu lessons. Everything besides that was too simple for the boy and could be left for later.
But with his power and happiness rise, the wall between him and his family became bigger and bigger. He rarely was at home, always training with Weasel or by himself. Earlier he wanted his father approval, but now he longed attention from his mentor. This boy with weasel mask became Naruto's role model instead of Minato. Now he wanted to become anbu just as his teacher. Besides that he didn't want to associate with other people, his siblings included.
Naruto stood in the centre of training ground number 7. He trained here whole year and it became his second home.
This was his last training session with his anbu mentor. Weasel said he couldn't teach him because Hokage deemed him worthy to set on active duty. That means young anbu will be going on the hard A and S missions. He always dreamed about this moment and Naruto was happy for his friend.
It was their last sparring and Weasel wanted to see his progress." Lets begin, Naruto-kun." Anbu said with his quiet and calm voice. And with those words Naruto burst from his position. He quickly closed the gap between them and threw his right fist straight to Weasel's head. Anbu dodged this easily and took one step back. "This is all Naruto-kun? Try again." He half mocked his student. Naruto wasn't fazed in the slightest by this verbal jab and attacked again. One punch aimed to the head, quickly second this time to the torso. All missed but Naruto quickly used this in his favor and placed his hand on the ground and tried to swipe anbu legs. Weasel dodged casually and took another step in left. His pupil used his rotation and aimed strong kick to his teacher's ribs. This time however it collided with the hand that blocked the path to the ribs. "Not bad" Weasel said and grabbed Naruto's leg with blocking hand. And Naruto was thrown a few meters away from his teacher. He quickly regained his balance in the air and landed on his foots and one hand, sliding on the ground a meter more. Again, Naruto burst from this position. In the run, before he reached to his mentor he grabbed some kunais from his pouch and threw them. Weasel slightly leaned his head to the left, then to the right, kunais barely missing him by the millimeters.' This was only two, there is…' and in the next second he was forced to quickly lean his head backward avoiding slash from the third kunai in Naruto's hand. 'Ah, there it is.' He thought in amusement. This time as he was avoiding deadly weapons Nartuto took another kunai in his hand and began violently slashing at his opponent torso. All missed but with the speed of his attacks, Weasel couldn't fight back. (well, he could but it was suppose to be sparring). Slash, second, third with the right hand, aimed at neck. Naruto missed but again used rotation tried to kick anbu in the stomach. Teacher avoided kick by jumping back and increasing the distance between them.
"Good. Now lets see your guard Naruto-kun." Weasel said and threw five shurikens at his student. Naruto blocked with kunais in both his arms, but as he deflected last shuriken, he received devastating punch to his guts. Air left his lungs and he was thrown backward. Redhead slowly got up from the ground still hard breathing. A few seconds later he was flashing handsign for his only offensive jutsu.
"Katon: Gōkakyū no jutsu" And big ball of fire flew in the direction of his teacher. He used flashy jutsu and after fireball covered his figure from anbu sight he quickly used kawarimi and some seconds later appeared in the forest that surrounded training ground. Naruto used this time to catch so needed breath. After that he looked around and tried to scan and analyze his surrounding. Weasel was nowhere in sight so Naruto closed his eyes and tried to detect opponent chakra. Then he felt light disturbance from behind. His reflexes kicked in and he jumped forward avoiding strike on the back of his neck. Young boy turned around and saw his teacher staying on the branch he occupied seconds before.
"I see I taught you well, but lets rise the difficult. I know you can better Naruto-kun." Next thing Naruto knew, he was thrown back to the training ground but he landed safety on his legs. Then he lifted his head, Weasel already stood in front of him. After the moment he was heavily pressed against his superior attacks. Each punch was fast and heavy, so Naruto could only block them. He knew it was just the right time to do it and lifted one hand with ram sigh. Suddenly, log appeared in his place, but there was slight hissing coming from it. 'Shit' Anbu and shunshined as quickly as possible. He got out of there just in time to avoid huge explosion that enveloped place. 'Well that was interesting' he thought and began to track his student. Young anbu found the boy sitting on the branch and trying to feel the presence of his teacher. So Weasel just quickly closed the gap between them and tried to strike his neck again. Things that happened next were like in slow motion. Naruto didn't avoid the punch as his teacher expected, but then his palm was supposed to strike the neck it just went thru him, when something more strange happened. Hand appeared from Naruto's back and throw one single kunai. Distance was so small, he just couldn't avoid deadly piece of metal and kunai struck him in his mask, went thru it and reached his face.
Poof. In the place of dead anbu was cloud of white smoke. It was just a kagebunshin. But for a six years old shinobi wannabe it was sweet, sweet victory. He dropped to the ground and leaned against the bottom of the tree, tired to the death. All his body was burning and ached with pain from harsh blows. But he didn't cared. He killed shadow clone of his teacher. When he felt someone's hand pulled him and he fell, his head landing on his captor knees.
"I did it" Naruto said excitedly looking in the black eyes that could be seen thru the slits of the mask and smiled. "Yes, you did. I am proud of you, Naruto-kun." Bigger hand reached and ruffled his red hair." Now I know you will survive in this world. Sadly I need to tell you something." He looked upon his student with sadness in the black eyes. "That is it Weasel-nii?" Naruto asked, fear griped his hear and in fact, he didn't want to hear that his mentor have to say. "It is our last training session as well as our last meeting. I cant see you anymore because I am set on active duty. I will always be busy with missions." "But we always could see each other when you off duty." His student interrupted him, trying to grasp the last straw of hope. It cant end like this, they was suppose to be friend and now this quiet and calm anbu says that they will be parting their ways from here. "It could work but Hokage gave me the special mission, because of it I cant reveal my identity to anyone. No one mustn't know that I in anbu corps, even my family. Now do not be sad, I have a day off, so I will spend it with you." I was impossible to find if he was smiling, but Naruto knew he was. His worry left him for some time, happiness replacing it. "Now tell me Naruto-kun what was that last stunt in our sparring?" Young anbu asked caressing his long red hair. And so Naruto explained. "After I threw a fireball at you, I quickly kawarimied in the forest and prepared a log, sticking explosive tag to it and when tried to track your chakra. Later when you attacked me I kawarimied with this log and quickly tracked which direction you shunshined. When I created a clone and placed him the way you couldn't see me and I faced the direction you would appeared. I was sitting so close with him so you couldn't understand it was just a clone. Next that happened you already knew." He ended his story and yawned quietly." I am soo tired, I will sleep for an hour." "Of course you do that Naruto-kun. Rest"
"Weasel-nee…"
"What is it?"
"You will be here when I wake up, right?"
"…Right, I will stay with you, Naruto-kun"
But Naruto knew it was a lie, because for just a one second, he hesitated.
It broke my heart to leave him here, but I have to do it. My Naruto, my adored student, my little brother and my best friend. This boy suddenly came in my live and changed it. All emotions that I felt, all this time with him. It was just one year, but I felt like we were together for eternity. How all of this got to this point. When I accepted him as a student I didn't think it would be something more. But this boy prove me wrong. Oh, how I hated myself for that I will do to him. I am broking my heart to broke his little one. But I have a mission. I am doing this for the sake of this village and for his sake. I will not stop. It is all already decided thru the endless number of sleepless nights when all my thoughts couldn't leave me alone.
He was still sleeping so I decided to say some last words to this little redhead." Naruto-kun, you will probably hate me, and believe me, I hate myself for it, still it must be done. I leave you in this harsh world with all these wolfs. I believe in you, you are strong and in time you will be much stronger and maybe you will reach your goal and become the strongest. But the way of the strongest is path of tears, regrets and loneliness. You can only trust yourself and nobody else. I just hope you will live your live the way you want it, not hokage or daime. These words cant be told, you will just need to understand them in the future. In your future, forged by you, Uzumaki Naruto." I bent down and kissed his forehead, when took my black necklace and put it in his hands.
"Farewell Naruto."
And with the gust of the wind he was gone.
Well I do not like the beginning but I definitely like the end. Firstly Naruto is not super strong, he fought with shadow clone than gone easy on him. Secondly this is not yaoi. My friend said it is, but it isn't. Believe it. Next, REVIEW dammit. I got just 10 in the last chapter, so do not hesitate to correct this. And lastly I got 11000!hits. Yeahhhhh!
