Again Sorry about the Delay. I got preocupied with NAruto Anime and Getbackers and havn't updated for a bit. Anyway, sorry but there will be no vote on Naruto's summons. I'm still open to any suggestions. Anyway, its time to start Naruto's training.
Chapter 20: Rizza arises! Naruto's new ally!
Naruto ran up to Jiraiya with a huge grin on his face, "After reading up on them, I think I'll take the eagle."
"Really?" said Jiraiya, intreged since he had never witnessed the eagle summoning's himself, "Lets go somewhere with less people then, this could get quite dangerous."
"Lets go Ero-Sannin!" siad Naruto happily.
"Must you call me that?" Jiraiya said slapping his head.
"Well if you weren't such a pervent I wouldn't say it," Naruto said Crossing his arms.
"Lets just get this over with," he said Shaking his head as the two walked over to a clearing near a stream.
"Is that Girls I hear?" asked Naruto after hearing giggling through the many bushes.
"While were training I'll be gathering some data," smiled Jiraiya, "But before that, I'll show you what to do," Jiraiya preformed some seals, bit his thumb, and pressed his hands against the ground, "Kyuichose No Jutsu!" and there was a puff of smoke. When the smoke cleared a small orange toad with a blue jacket appeared.
"I'll play with you if you give me a snack," the toad said.
"Your only here for demonstration Gamakichi," Jiraiya said, "Best be running along."
"I never get a snack anymore," Gamakichi said poofing away.
"That was it?" Naruto replied unimpressed,
"That was only a weak summoning Naruto," Jiraiya said, "Don't think that the legendary toad hermit would teach you a stupid technique. Now sign this with you blood."
"Fine," Naruto said, signing his name with his own blood under the eagle columb.
"Now try it," Jiraiya said.
"Kyuichose No Jutsu!" yelled Naruto slamming the ground with his hand. A puff of smoke appeared and a baby eagle appeared.
"Naruto!" yelled Jiraiya, "This is the best you got!"
"Shut up Ero-Sannin!" Naruto retorted, "Its my first try, cut me some slack."
"Fine, you stay here and practice, I'm going to do some data collection," Jiraiya smiled his perverted smile and ran over to the bushes. After the day had passed Naruto had improved a little.
"Ero-Sannin, how long is this move going to take?" Naruto whined.
"Shut up twerp," Jiraiya replied, "It took me about a year to master that one. But by the time the exams come around you should be able to improve greatly."
"Forget that, I'll have this move mastered by then. Just you wait Ero-Sannin," Grinned Naruto.
"Whatever," Jiraiya said walking away, only able to think, Oh dear god, this kids exactly like the fourth. How the hell did I get stuck with this guy. Oh well, by the end he should learn how to use the Kyuubi Chakra, which is the real purpose of teaching him this move.
"So do we meet here tomorrow than?" asked Naruto.
"Yep, good night," and Jiraiya walked away.
It had been to months since the training began, and NAruto hadn't been able to access the Kyuubi Chakra. Jiraiya had been getting frustrated with it. He wanted Naruto to learn to use this Chakra, it was only a matter of time before some one would come after him for it. During his travels he had seen two people like Naruto already attacked by people afraid of their demons. Soon powerful ninja's would be after him, and without the Kyuubi Chakra NAruto would be done for.
However, that day on his way back from training NAruto and Data gathering, someone unexpected approached him, "who are you?"
"M-my names Hyuuga H-Hinata," she stuttered.
"So you're the one who's been watching NAruto train the last week?" He asked Smiling.
"Y-you knew?" She said becoming Nervous.
"Of course, your quite good at hiding though," he laughed, "Even I barely noticed your pressence. Must of had a lot of practice."
Hinata just turned beat read and began to say, "I-I was wondering if you c-could teach me the Kyuichose No Jutsu."
"So thats what you want, sorry. But I don't have time to teach it to two people and gather data," he said.
"You mean peeping?" Hinata said angrily, but quickly reverted to normal, "Sorry Jiraiya."
"Its ok," he smiled, "I can at least show you the seals and let you sign a contract. However your on your own after that."
"Arigoto Jiraiya-Sama," she said. She had already read the summonings and quickly picked one that she liked, tigers. She left after signing the contract. She was still only allowed to practice for one hour a day because of her injuries from Neji, however she devoted every hour to the Kyuichose No Jutsu, so that next time she was with Naruto she may be able to get his attention.
Jiraiya was still faced with an important decision however, he needed to find a way to get NAruto to use the Kyuubi Chakra. From various talkes with Naruto it only seems to come out in situations of high emotional tensions. He decieded tomorrow he would take Naruto to do anything he wanted, and then he would force the Kyuubi Chakra out, in hopes of getting Naruto's body used to using it.
"Hey NAruto," Jiraiya said meeting Jiraiya in front of his apartment.
"Why did you come here to see me Ero-Sannin?" asked Naruto, since Jiraiya had never come to his home before.
"Stop calling me that!" yelled Jiraiya, "Especially since I'm treating you to Ramen today."
"Yahoo!" yelled Naruto as they walked to Icharuka Ramen.
"Hey Jiraiya," Smiled Ayame as the two came in, "It's been a while since I've seen you."
"And don't even think about hitting on my waitress," said the boss with an evil look in his eyes.
"Don't worry, I've already learned my lesson," said Jiraiya with his head down.
"What happened?" asked Naruto.
"I slipped some super powerful exlacks into his ramen," laughed the Boss. Naruto just started laughing.
"Shut up or I won't get your Ramen," said Jiraiya in a low voice.
"Okay Okay," said Naruto with a Grin on his face. He managed to go through four bowls of pork Ramen, three of Shrimp, and five Miso.
The two walked out and Jiraiya said, "So is there anything else at all you would like to do?"
"Like what?" asked NAruto confused.
"Anything at all you've ever wanted to do that you haven't done yet," he said smiling.
"Not really, why?" asked Naruto.
"No reason, lets just go train," Jiraiya said as they went to a canyon just outside the village. The walls of the canyon were sharp and wet. Naruto only stared down into the canyon and asked, "What are we doing here Ero-Sannin?"
"You, Naruto, are going to fight for life," and Jiraiya decked him in the back and sent him plummeting into the canyon. Naruto put his hands on the side and tried latching onto the spikes with his chakra, but they were to slippery to grap, "The only way he'll survive is to tap into the Kyuubi Chakra, please find out how Naruto."
As Naruto plummeted he just kept thinking to himself, I've got to get this Kyuubi Chakra to work or I'm done. I've got to do it. And suddenly everything went dark and Naruto found himself in a hallway.
NAruto walked down the hallway feeling a familiar energy. He entered into a large chamber with a huge golden gate, "This is that weird Chakra I felt a while ago. IS this the Kyuubi's cage?"
"Come closer kit," came a voice from the cage. Suddenly Naruto could see the face of Kyuubi. The Fox's eyes had an evil glare and it bore its teeth with rage.
"What do you want you stupid fox," said NAruto as he walked closer. When he got right next to the cage he barely managed to jump back as a large nail tried to swipe him.
"IF it wasn't for this cage I would eat you," the Fox growled.
"Listen up Fox," yelled NAruto, "You'd better lend me some of your Chakra."
"Why should I brat?" it sneered.
"Cause if you don't were both scrapped, think of your Chakra as rent" Naruto yelled back.
"So you'd blackmail a demon?" the Kyuubi sneered, "Fine, take it," and energies began to flow into Naruto as he snapped back to the real world.
"Kyuichose No Jutsu!" he cried preforming the summoning technique. There was a huge puff of smoke beneath Naruto and a powerful flapping could be heard echoeing through the canyon.
"Its been a while since I've seen a little light," came the voice of a large eagle with a pair of sunglasses.
"Yes! I finally did it!" yelled NAruto jumping up and down on the Eagles head.
"Stop with the Jumping kid, your giving me a head ache," the eagle said.
"Sorry," Naruto replied Sitting down scratching his head with his fox grin, "But I mangaged to summons something this big."
"Thanks kid," the Eagle said, "But I don't think you'll make a good enough master for me."
"What the hell?" Screamed Naruto, "I summoned you, so that makes me the master."
"Ha!" he said, "Alright, hang on for a while. If I like what I see, we'll talk."
So that must be Rizza the Sky lord, Didn't expect Naruto to summons something that strong, Jiraiya thougt, Guess its time for me to take off then. I have no more business here. And then Jiraiya took off without saying a word.
Rizza proceeded to take off at enourmous speeds through the air, "Can you keep up?" he said Mockingly.
"Shut up you stupid bird," Said Naruto mustering all of his energy just to hang on, "I'm going to become Hokage one day and there's nothing you can do to stop me!"
"I like you," said Rizza, still flying full speed, "But do you really think you can hold on until dawn?"
"Dawn! Its only afternoon right now!" Yelled Naruto, "Ah forget it, I'll stay on as long as it takes."
"Lets have a little fun then, shall we?" siad Rizza as he did a few barrel rolls and summersaults. This went of for hours until the sun finally set and the Eagle landed.
"Told you I'd hang on," Naruto smiled as he passed out.
"This is a cool kid," the Bird said smoothly, "First time anyone's ever managed to stay on who's summoned me. Guess I'll drop him off at a hospital now."
Naruto awoke lying in a hospital bed., "Hey, your finally up?" asked Shikamaru who was sitting in a chair.
"Where am I?" yelled Naruto darting his glances across the room.
"As soon as your awake your already causing trouble, how troublesome." Shikamaru said Shaking his head, "I brought some fruit for you."
"How long Have I been out?" asked NAruto starting to eat an apple.
"About a week now, finals start in about three weeks," Shikamaru replied Yawning.
"So, we have that long?" groaned Naruto, "Seems like a good time to rest."
"I thought you would insist on training?" said Shikamaru.
"Yeah, but with my new technique there is no way any one here can beat me," Naruto smiled.
"Cocky as ever, oh well. I'll see ya later Naruto," Shikamaru said leaving.
"See ya Shika," Naruto said. Not much happened those three weeks. Naruto did some light training and mostly stuck to himself. Everyone else pretty much did the same, waiting to surprise everyone during the final exams.
Agian sorry about the delay in this chapter. Next up is the start of the Chuunin Exams, Naruto Vs. Osaka. May not be a very good Chapter, but meh, It'll get really good soon. Please R&R.
