well here is the newest chapter, though it doesnt have much action.
i dont own naruto.
"just like his dad, always with the flashy exit." Sarutobi thought with a reminiscent smile. But it soon turned to a frown when he realized he had to back to his paperwork. So with a sigh he shun shined back to his office and resumed his paper work.
Naruto landed in a tree and saw his clone, Sasuke and Sakura harvesting potatoes, he smirked, he always hated that job, but not more then Sasuke Sakura did, Sasuke because it was below an Uchiha to do such menial work, and Sakura because she hated getting dirty, but the both seemed to take it rather well this time, at least as well as you could expect when you tell three kids to harvest potatoes. After observing them for a few minutes, I jumped a few rooftops away, then shun shined to training ground 44.
When he arrived he immediately dropped his henge, and made a few hundred clones to start working on chakra control, and a couple hundred chakra clones to work on physical exercise. He then decided instead of physical exercise he would work on a new jutsu that was in the final stages of development.
So he went and found a place that was away from the noise of his clones training and did a few handsigns, "Wind style wind armor." he said quietly. Then wind started to spin around his arms and legs, then moved to his torso, and eventually covered his whole body. After he got it under control it was near invisible, at least compared to other armor jutsu, one could still tell it was there, and that was the main thing he was currently working on, to make it completely invisible.
But this armor did much more then just help absorb damage, it reduced his resistance to zero, made his tiajutsu slightly stronger, and made him more maneuverable. Before he had started working on making it invisible, it had greatly increased his tiajutsu, but in order to make it invisible he ad to reduce the power behind it, but he thought it was a fair trade off.
He then sat down in a lotus position and concentrated on his chakra, making into a fine, sharp edge, then circulating it around his body, first he tried slow, but it didn't improve much, so then he tried making it move fast, and when he looked at his hand, "Hmm, I never would of guessed making it move faster would have made it less visible." he thought it a little bit of shock.
He was about to continue but sensed a presence watching his from the thick foliage that surrounded the clearing he was in. he slowly scanned the bushes in front of him ,and quickly discovered that who or what ever it was, was behind him, he also felt that it just radiated power, not necessarily large chakra reserves, there was only about chuunin level reserves, but it just an sense of power around it.
He slowly stood up, and turned around, looking cautiously into the dense foliage, then he sensed movement, it was moving away from him, but not a retreating manner, but in more of a way that it wanted to lure him towards it. Naruto not being one to back down from a challenge, slowly made his way forward, staying alert for any other enemies that might be waiting to ambush him, but found none.
After getting through the incredibly dense underbrush, he came out into the forest, and saw who, or in this case what, had been watching him. About 20 yards in front of him was a tiger, but this was no ordinary tiger, no this tiger was six foot tall at the shoulder, and over ten feet long, he had dark red eyes, and a long scar running from his left shoulder across his chest at a diagonal. Although it didn't look fresh, it looked like it was made at least ten years ago, which means this tiger is not only big, strong, fast, and deadly, but its also probably had much battle experience.
Naruto took his eyes off the tiger for a few seconds and spotted another, smaller tiger about 100 yards away. But Naruto noticed that as soon as the other tiger saw the one in front of him, he turned around and walked ran away. Most likely indicating that the tiger in front of him was the leader of the pack. "Great, I would get into a fight with one of the more deadly things living in this forest, and the leader no less." Naruto thought to himself.
Naruto s watched as the tiger prepared to attack, but just as it was about to attack, hit looked like it saw a ghost, it wimpered a few times then turned around an ran away as fast as its legs would carry him. Naruto didn't know what could scare the liger off like that, but whatever it was, it was behind him from the direction the tiger looked.
Naruto did indeed sense something behind him, but it was small, in fact it felt like it was smaller then him, if only slightly. So he slowly turned around and was met face to face with, "Hey are you ok, that tiger almost ate you for lunch, good thing he's scared of me." said a grinning lady that stood in front of him.
She has light brown, pupil-less eyes. Her violet hair is done up in a short, somewhat spiky ponytail. She is wearing a tan overcoat, complete with a fitted mesh body suit that stretches from her neck down to her thighs. She wears a dark orange mini-skirt, as well as a forehead protector, a small pendant that looks like a snake fang on a thick cord rather than a chain to prevent it from being easily torn off in combat, a wrist watch, and shin guards. She also had a dark blue belt around her waist that connects to her skirt that has an appendage-like sash.
Naruto immediately recognized her as, "Anko, I forgot how much she was in these woods." "Yea, thanks for saving me." Naruto said thankfully, although he as sure he would have been fine. "Sure buddy no problem, though what are you doing in these woods? Only ninja are allowed in here." Anko said casually.
Naruto had to think of something quickly, he couldn't show her his ninja license, it showed he was still a genin. "Oh is it? I didn't know, sorry, ill be on my way." Naruto said as he went to leave. "Wait a minute, if your not a ninja, how did you get in here, all the gates have chakra locks on them?" she asked curiously.
"Uh, I climbed the fence." Naruto said rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.
"So you climbed a fence that went into an area that had locked gates, and danger signs posted everywhere, without any protection?" Anko asked.
"Umm, yea?" Naruto said as he nodded. Anko just sweat dropped.
"Ok then, well have a nice day." she said happily.
"I will, you to." Naruto said as he went back towards the fence, and climbed over it. The reason he didn't shun shin is because she would of detected the chakra surge, as for why he didn't jump over the fence, she was following him, "Probably to make sure I was telling the truth." Naruto thought logically.
Anko was hiding in a tree not to far away from the fence, she had followed him and had not seen him do anything that a normal civilian would do, he even jumped at a few noises. After watching him climb over the gate she decided to go to her favorite dango stand, "I guess he was telling the truth he wasn't a ninja. I wonder if he's single?" Anko thought as she ordered a large order of dango.
Naruto was actually thankful that she followed him, it gave him time to dispel all of his clones so she wouldn't find them. After turning his henge back on, he went into the town, "Hmm, where to now, I need to find a new training ground where I'm sure no one will find me, but I can talk to the old man about that. I could use something to eat though." he said and started to turn towards ichiraku's but then turned into another restaurant.
He walked up to the waiter to be seated, "How many?" he asked without looking up.
"Just one." Naruto said.
The waiter thought the voice sounded a little young, but it didn't really matter, so he turned around and grabbed a menu and turned back to Naruto, "This wa…" the man started, then noticed who it was, he then turned around put the menu down and said, in a nice way as there were other customers around, "I'm sorry, but we're full." he said, then went to check on the tables.
Naruto sighed as he walked out of the building, he forgot there was only a few restaurants that would let him eat there when he was younger. So he turned into an ally and henged into a man with brown hair, and looked to be about 21, he was wearing normal civilian clothes. He then went to walk into the restaurant again, but turned and decided to go somewhere else.
After walking around for a little while he came across another restaurant that sounded good, so he turned and went in. He saw that you seated yourself at this restaurant, so he went and found a table. Soon the waitress walked up, she had blond hair that was tied into a high ponytail and hung down to her mid back, she had beautiful green eyes, and was around 5-8. She was wearing the uniform for the restaurant, it consisted of a dark red skirt that stopped just above the knee, and a white button up shirt, with a red vest over it, the same color as the skirt.
She laid down a menu, "Do you now what you want to drink yet?" she asked in a kind voice.
"umm, water's fine." Naruto said with a smile.
"Ok, I'll be right back with it." said the waitress as she turned and walked away to get his drink. When she came back she set the water down on the table.
"Thank you." Naruto said kindly.
"Do you need know what you want, or do you need more time?" she asked.
"Yes I do, I would like the steamed fish, with a side of greens please." Naruto said as he handed her the menu.
She finished writing what he ordered down, "Ok, it will be a few minutes until it is ready." the girl said as she took the menu, then turned to go to the kitchen to give the cook the order.
"Hmm, I wonder I should do after I eat?" he asked himself. After a few minutes he still couldn't decide. Then his waitress walked up with a tray.
She sat down his plate, it looked delicious. "Can I get you anything else?" she asked with a smile.
Naruto thought about it for a second, "No thank you, I think this is it." he replied. The girl nodded then turned to go attend to the other tables.
After Naruto finished his meal, he asked for the bill. "Thanks you, it was delicious." he said as she handed him the bill.
"Thank you, ill pass it on the chef." she said.
Naruto looked at the bill, it was about 20 ryu, that was a good price considering the size of the meal, and how good it was, so he pulled out 20 and handed it to the waitress. After she left he put another five on the table for the excellent service, then proceeded out the door.
He then decided what he was going to do, and got a nefarious smirk. After a little while if going to various shops to get what would be needed he was ready. Using his ninja skills he snick into the restaurant that had kicked him out, and released about a dozen rats I the kitchen, he saw his target, the man that had kicked him out. He slowly snuck up on him, and dumped a very fine powder on him, "Itching powder, got to love it." he thought. After that, he also sprayed a small amount of something on his back, it was extremely concentrated female dog urine, and if he remembered, the Inuzuka's walked there dogs right past this restaurant.
Then henged into a civilian, he then waited for a moment, watching the waiter try to stop the itching. Then deciding he had enough, he pulled out a small rat from his pouch and set it on the ground, "Rat! Theres a rat!" he screamed, an pointed, everyone looked towards him and saw it, then they saw several others running about. It was soon mass chaos as everyone scrambled for the door. Including the waiter.
Naruto then shun shined to the roof of the building across from the restaurant, and watched, then right on cue, the Inuzuka's came by walking their dogs. When they got around 20 yards from the waiter, all of the male dogs took off after them, despite the orders of there owners to stop.
The man soon noticed the mass of dogs running towards him, and took off running. A few minute later screams could be heard across the village, 'No, stop, please stop!'
Naruto was on his back laughing his head off. "Wow, I didn't realize how much I missed pranking!" he said as he got his laughter under control.
After he was finally able to stop laughing, he decided to go talk to the old man about a more secure training ground.
Deciding it would be weird if the Hokage talked to a genin, in private, twice so soon to each other, e came up with another plan.
Sarutobi was doing his paper work, when he came across a piece of paper stuck to the back of another document, on it he saw was a request from Naruto for a secret training ground, it went through how he had been discovered by Anko in the forest of death, it also made the suggestion that he could just use the hokage training ground.
After reading it over, then thinking about it, Sarutobi decided it could hurt, so he replied yes, but the couldn't figure out how to get it back to Naruto, after trying to figure it for a few minute, I shrugged his shoulders and put it back on the back of the document he found it on, he figured if Naruto could get it onto an official document, he could get it off.
After another 30 minutes or so, he looked out the window and saw Naruto on a building Naruto gave him a thumbs up, the jumped back down to street level, and disappeared into the crowd. Sarutobi just assumed he somehow got his reply. He smiled at how resourceful Naruto could be. But the smile turned to a frown as his secretary brought in more paper work.
After getting the ok from the old man, Naruto headed towards the hokage's training grounds, he then made a 500 shadow clones, and 200 chakra clones, and had them get to work. He then started his own workout, and decided it was time to up his resistance seals another level, but he was at level 100, so he did a few handsigns and said, "Resistance seal level increase, master level two, sub level 1." then seals glowed on his body and he was now at the equivalent of level 101.
After training till dark he went back to his apartment. After taking a short shower, and having a meal, he laid down, and went into peaceful sleep.

also, if you have any other suggestions, fell free to tell me and i will ad them to the list.
also to inarealpickle, as i tried to explain, (although i clearly didnt do right) naruto henge isnt really a henge, i just said that because its easier to type the shape shift every time, although i did explain that in the earl chapter when i started saying henge instead of shape shift. and you are right, if someone with the sharingan or byakugan olooked at a henge they would see right through it. but naruto's isnt really a henge, its his own jutsu, and a byakugan would only see a slightly more chakra flow, but without a baseline to compare it with, they couldnt tell, and a sharingan, would not see anthing different other then mabey a small silm of chakra on his skin, but that could be explained as he was channling chakra to his skin. sorry for the confusion, but thats what i meant. and your right, his chakra signature didnt change, but with enough control, or even a jutsu he knows, he could alter it, ther ecould be lots of reasons that his chakra signature could be different. also for why he bought clothes for his henge...that was a brain fart.
narjiro, i havnt really decided how im going to do the wave arc yet, but i think im going to have all of team seven go, but mabey not.
deathmvp, i didnt want it to be, just one hit from naruto and he won either.
also there is a link on my profile to go to a forum so that you can discuss this fic and others that are in my community. i would love to see your ideas about how the story could go, techniques, or really anything there.
well this is the longest chapter i have written so far, even though not much happened in the way of the story line i hope you all enjoy it.
