Naruto groaned as the sun streamed in through his window. He rolled over to try and shield his eyes from the sun but knew he had to get up. He walked sluggishly into the kitchen to find Kyuubi. Naruto let out a sigh of relief when he saw that she was in fact clothed, she wore her usual baggy pants, tube top and cloak. As much as Naruto had been hoping for her to be dressed modestly he couldn't help but feel he was missing out on something.
"Morning" Kyuubi said as she looked through the cupboards. "I though I told you to buy something other than ramen."
"I would of but you spent all of my money on that bed" Naruto said defensively.
Kyuubi shrugged. "Fair enough but the next time you go shopping could get some real food please."
Naruto walked over and got himself a cup of instant ramen. "I don't want you to think I'm being rude or something but are you planning on getting a job and helping to pay the bills and stuff."
Kyuubi laughed. "Yeah I'll do that, after all everyone in town is jumping at the prospect of hiring a girl with a tail because no one thinks that's weird or anything."
"Maybe you could try a career as a ninja" Naruto suggested.
This made Kyuubi laugh even harder. "I don't think my pride could take that. First I get beaten by a human, then I have to give my crown to a human and then after all that I start working for them. Nah I don't think I'll be doing that."
Naruto groaned. "Look I can barely afford to keep myself fed let alone you. Get a bloody job and help me keep a roof over our heads."
Kyuubi glared at him. "It's nearly nine you should get a move on" she said slightly aggravated about being ordered around. She decided to skip breakfast and closed the cupboards. "I need to talk to that no good pervert you call a sensei" she said as she walked out the door. Naruto quickly had his breakfast and headed towards the Hokage's private training ground.

Jariya sat leaning against a tree waiting For Naruto arrive. He had had a talk with Kyuubi only minutes ago about how to aid Naruto with his training. Kyuubi had some really brutal ways of training but she had facts to back up why. The only way to truly awaken any kekkei genkai is to put the owner in a life and death situation. That was the only way to do it and that is what he would have to do with Naruto.
Flashback
"Kyuubi what are you doing here, I was expecting to see Gaki" Jariya grumbled.
Kyuubi gave a hollow smile. It was evident Jariya didn't like Kyuubi, after all it was because of her that Minato was dead. "I'm here to tell you how to train Naruto because you have no idea how." She took a bag from her belt and through it on the ground next Jariya. Jariya opened it and took out a bunch of senbon needles. "Those are poisoned tipped senbon. The poison is designed to cause great pain but do no major damage. Tie him up and start throwing these at him, he'll have to use the gyakusetsu in order to stop them coming. Trust me after he feels the pain of just one of these needles he'll be more than willing to the gyakusetsu in order to make it stop."
"How are you so sure he'll even be able to awaken it uh" Jariya said angry about her methods.
"Last night I used a jutsu to enter his dreams. He didn't even realize I was there but I was able to guide him through his subconscious and watched as he acquired the power he should rightfully have. He's now at the next stage, the archway to The All Seeing Eye and after that is the Origin, although I'll make damn sure he never gets to that stage. As long as you do your job everything will be okay."
"I don't know what you're up to" Jariya said as Kyuubi walked away "but I'll find out and stop you."
Kyuubi laughed "You worry too much Jariya-sannin, not all demons are bad." She looked back at the sannin "not all demons are bad, but I am" she said soft enough so Jariya couldn't hear.
End Flashback
Naruto walked out into the clearing to see Jariya deep in thought. Naruto walked up to him smiling. "Hey, are we ready to start" he asked.
Jariya gave a weak smile "I guess so." He made a few hand seals and slammed his hand against the ground. Two huge toads appeared and grabbed Naruto, they quickly pulled him over to a tree and tied him to it with ninja wire. Jariya dismissed the toads and pulled a bundle of senbon needles out from his pocket. He sighed as he watched Naruto struggle to get out of the wire. "Here's how things are going to go" announced Jariya. "These senbon are coated with a poison that hurts like ever loving shit. I am going to through these at you and you are going to use your kekkei genkai to stop them from hitting you."
"Wait" Naruto shouted. "How am I supposed to use my kekkei genkai to stop the needles when you haven't even told me what my kekkei genkai can do?"
"The less you know the better. All you really need to do is concentrate on stopping the senbon as they come at you. I want you focus on the senbon and stop them dead in time. Got it?" Jariya didn't wait for Naruto to answer. He threw the first senbon of many to more to come. It connected with its target piercing into the soft tissue of Naruto's thigh. At first the needle didn't really hurt that much and then the poison struck. Naruto let out an ear shattering scream at the pain. Jariya through another and didn't stop throwing.

Tsunade glared at that faces in the conference room. Since she had told the elders they had systematically spread the word to every clan head and anybody else with any political power.
"This meeting has been called to discuss the current situation of Namikaze Naruto" Danzo announced Danzo to the room full of council members, clan heads and Tsunade.
"Okay let's get a few things straight" Tsunade boomed angrily. "Firstly its Uzumaki Naruto not Namikaze, just because you guys found out who is farther was doesn't mean you can call him by the Namikaze name. Secondly, I don't know which member of the council told you all about the changes Naruto has gone through but I can assure you that you don't need to know. There is no reason for this meeting, there is no reason for you people to know about what is going on and there is most certainly no danger to the village or its population."
"I beg to differ" said Aburame Shibi in his usual stoic voice. "We are allowing a demon to live amongst us and you are saying we don't need to know. We have Kyuubi walking around with only Uzumaki Naruto watching him who is in fact a demon as well. We should be locking the two of the up and throwing away the key."
"Being a demon is no crime" said Tsunade calmly. "We could lock up Kyuubi for her previous crimes of attacking the village but even then Naruto is innocent and he wouldn't take kindly to Kyuubi being locked up. We must remember that we are dealing with an emotionally unstable twelve year old as well as the most powerful bijuu" she reasoned. "We have to be delicate about how we approach the situation."
"I think he should succeed Tsunade-sama and become the Rokudaime Hokage" said a loud voice. Everyone stopped their bickering and turned to see Haruna Miya. Haruna Miya was the newest member to the council, she didn't represent a clan but rather represented everyone else in Konoha who was not part of clan. Although only new to the whole meeting thing she new her rights and could always win an argument especially when it was with her twelve year old daughter Haruna Sakura.
"Uzumaki Naruto is no longer a little kid. If we play our cards right we can turn Konoha into a very powerful village" she said not taking any notice of the stunned faces. "He's wanted to be Hokage since he found out what it meant. We give him the title of Rokudaime and we get the Nine Tailed Demon fox protecting the village and Naruto gets his dream. Everybody wins."
The entire room was divided, some liked the idea, others were not sure and some hated it with everything they had, what surprised everyone was that Danzo was for it.
Danzo stood up and everyone became silent. "We give it a month. Depending on how Naruto's skills improve with his kekkei genkai. We will meet again and discuss the issue in exactly a month." With that Danzo got up and walked out. The others took Danzo's lead and left, all except for Tsunade. She sat deep in thought about the events that had just transpired. "Why would Danzo of all people want Naruto to be named Rokudaime" she thought to herself. Something wasn't right and she was going to find out what.

Naruto hung limply from the tree panting. It had now been three full days since his training had begun. The only rest he had had from his torment was when Jariya ran out of needles and had to remove them from Naruto's body. On several occasions Jariya was forced to summon a toad to thrown the needles so he could have a sleep.
The most significant thing to change was the way Naruto was held. The ninja wire that had once bound him to the tree had been replaced with a pair of wrist irons attached to a branch and left him suspended about a foot off the ground. Underneath him was a large seal that had been burnt into the ground. The irons were there to hold him directly in the middle of the seal and the seal was there to stop him from using his demon charka to attack his sensei.
Although he'd been training for three days the most Naruto had accomplished was slowing down the needles as they cut through the air on their course towards him. That's why it was so significant when Naruto accomplished his goal. It was around lunch time on the forth day when he finally stopped the senbon. It came as a shock for both Jariya and Naruto. It defied all laws of physics but it still happened. The needle froze in mid air refusing to move. It stayed suspended about a meter off the ground and didn't move in the slightest even in the moderately strong wind. Jariya walked over and plucked the needle out of its position eyeing it carefully.
"Alright" Jariya said clapping his hands together. "You've done it but I'm going to need you to do it a few more times."

Sasuke and Sakura sat quietly as the focused on controlling their chakra better. Sasuke was having some trouble while Sakura seemed to be having no problems at all. "Hey Sasuke-kun" Sakura asked. "Don't you think it's strange that Naruto-kun hasn't showed up for training in three days?"
"I guess so" Sasuke answered not really paying attention. "Kakashi-Sensei doesn't seem to think much of it so I don't know why we should be worried."
"I bet he's doing something really cool like doing some kind of really special training or something."
Sasuke froze at the thought of Naruto getting special training and himself missing out made his anger rise. "We need to find out, I mean if something is wrong we might be able to help. Come on, Kakashi-sensei isn't even watching us let's go.

So that was chapter eight, a little short but next chapter should be long and maybe I'll throw a cliff hanger in at the end to make it interesting. Now I got two things to say. First off is last chapter I said I was writing a new fic. Well I'm still writing it but I've run into a few problems. I've got a few ideas for fics but I'm only going to run with one of them, so until I decide which one to run with I won't be starting my new fic.
Now the second thing is simple. If any of you where wondering where I got the word gyakusetsu from here's your answer. I didn't just pull from my ass like some of you may think. I pulled it from an online translator. The word gyakusetsu is Japanese for paradox. So there it is.
Next chapter will be up soon (I know I say this every chapter but I'm telling you I do seriously try).
