I Do Not Own Naruto

Naruto The Crimson Chain Wielder

Naruto is still in bed in his new apartment, it is around 7 in the morning. Unfortunately for him, the sun is beginning to shine into his eyes and he starts to wake up. "Aww man, I'm still tired, go away stupid sun." Finally realizing that complaining won't make the sun disapear into some black hole, he gets up, still noticing the seals slowing him down quite a bit.

'Alright, can't be complaining about getting up, if I do what will I do about training.' He then takes his morning shower, savoring the feeling of finally being clean for his first morning of living on his own. The first time he has actually been even relatively clean in his life, actually. He was never really able to use the baths or showers in the building of the orphanage. Shaking off the depressing thoughts and the rest of the water in his hair he leaves the shower to get dressed, he also grabs his katana and wakizashi and heads to the kitchen for a healthy breakfast.

When he gets there he gets out some ingredients and some pots and pans when he suddenly comes to a complete stop and stares at the assembled items. 'I have no idea what I'm doing,' He thinks to himself while sweat dropping as he doesn't really know how to make a generic breakfast, having only lived on food he had caught or trapped. He then suddenly passes out, and finds himself in the sewers of his own mind. Traveling the halls dark and haunting halls like he has been there for his entire life he stops in front of a very familiar cage.

"Hello, Naruto-kun," A heavenly voice calls out to him in a soothing tone, with a hint of... something else. "I may be able to help you, but first you have to help me. Its only a minor thing so don't flip out or anything." Our favorite prisoner says calmly.

"Hey Kyuubi-chan, good morning to you too." He replies teasingly. "What is this deal, and what would you like in return?"

"O, how silly of me... good morning Naruto-kun... would you like a good morning kiss as well?" The clever vixen in human form replies making him blush. 'Score one for the Queen of Bijus.' she thinks triumphantly.

"Wha-" He starts only to be blocked out by her melodious laughter.

"Haha, you should know better than to try and out tease a vixen Naruto-kuuuun" She replies while almost going to the floor from laughing so hard. "Anyway, getting back on track here, all I want is out of this dingy and dirty water. Not released, 'yet at least' I just want you to change your mind scape into something suitable for a beautiful vixen like me to roam around in.

"I think I can do that, but how would you help me in the real world?" Sounding a little irritated for being made blush.

"Well after you change the mind scape to my liking we can set up a mental communication. I can then teach you things from talking inside your head to you. Whenever you want to reply just think it and allow me to hear it and I will. If you don't want me to know what your thinking I will not have access to that certain thought, you have to want me to hear it for me to be able too. I can also keep you from my own personal thoughts as well, so it works both ways. I will also want your other senses as well, and like your thoughts, you can block me from seeing certain things too. She explains.

Naruto shutters at the way she said things, having an idea of what she is talking about. He will make sure to remember that for whenever he finds himself in some horrifyingly awkward situation that is a one in a million chance of happening but those types of things just so happen to him quite often. "I think we have a deal." He says putting that note into his brain as a reminder.

"Great, rip a small piece of the seal off and then just think of a meadow and include a lake big enough for my fox form to fit into and still be touching the bottom of my feet. Also add a forest in the distance with trees tall enough to be half my size. A nice beach would also be nice for when I want to lay in the warm sand. Just picture those things and will it to happen and it should." She says while mentally crossing off a checklist to see if she missed anything.

"I'll get right on it, Kyuubi-chan." He says. "By the way, whats your real name?" He asks, wondering if Kyuubi was some kind of title, while still concentrating on the changes that should be made.

"K-Kyoshi" She replies with a small stutter of surprise, while blushing slightly, she has never given her real name to anyone. The only person she would really care about getting to know enough to tell them would be Naruto.

"Well Kyoshi-chan, lets see what we can do about this sewage infested dump." Not seeing the increasingly red face of his foxy prisoner. After a short time the water at their feet beings to drain and soon grass seems to start growing. The entire room feeling is gone when sunshine starts to appear also. Kyoshi already loves the feeling of being free of her cage. The grass feels great against her bare feet, and she can also see the lake she requested filling in the background. Just beyond the lake is a plentiful forest filled with lush trees and bushes all around. Looking closely she can see some wild foxes in the forest as well. All in all, she couldn't have received a better place to be.

"This is absolutely perfect Naruto-kun, I love it!" she exclaims and glomps him, it almost looks like she is trying to squeeze the life out of him. Him turning blue could be one of the signs of that. Realizing what she is doing she lets go and helps him up to get the blood flowing again. "Sorry, I was happy and I didn't mean to crush you or anything." She says quickly trying to hide her blush of embarrassment.

"That's ok, I get it. Anyway I have to go make a normal breakfast and I need your help, if you could please." He asked happily seeing that she is really happy.

"Of course, just think about leaving this place and you will, and remember to think of what you want to say to me and I will hear it."

"Right, goodbye for now Kyoshi-chan."

"Goodbye Naruto-kun, feel free to visit anytime." She said already missing him a bit as she had been all alone for quite some time and she likes to interact and talk to others.

Naruto then opens his eyes, and sees the ceiling. 'You know Kyoshi-chan, next time you want to drag me into my mind try to warn me first.' He thinks as his first test.

'Haha, aww but that's no fun at all Naruto-kun.' She thinks back teasingly while smiling a mischievous and foxy smile.

'Wow, it works. That's cool,' he thinks back with a bit of awe in his tone.

'Are you doubting my skills Naruto-kun... I would hate to think that you are.' She responds in her sweetest voice freezing him in his tracks as his instincts are screaming at him.

'Wh-wh-what, no I would never doubt your skills. How could I, your the Queen of the Bijus and the strongest of them all, heh heh.' He finishes with his nervous laugh hoping that his answer was good enough to the Queen.

Good, Now lets get started.'

Soon after, Naruto is heading to the Hokage Tower, with a very slow walk, as he is still trying to get used to the gravity seals that were applied to him. Eventually he makes it there and finds a more neutral secretary at the same desk he passes a lot to enter the sandaime's office. She is young, about the same age as the other woman and she is also fairly good looking as well. "Excuse me miss, I think that jiji is expecting me, can I go in now?" He asks politely, trying to find out how this person might feel about him.

She looks at him for a couple seconds to see if she recognizes him, and she does but she simply smiles and nods at him. She normally would have been a little more rude after her Aunt had died in the kyuubi attack. That was before though, before a friend of hers told her what she and the mob did and how Naruto reacted to it and she has decided to let it go and move on.

"Thank you" is all he says along with his trademark smile on his face that actually makes the poor woman's heart stop. She thinks he is really cute with that smile, but at the same time feels guilty at how he was treated so badly. She also smiles at how strong a boy he is for keeping his sanity and she begins to respect him a lot.

"Why, hello there Naruto-kun, I'm surprised to see you here this early its only like 8:45 am. I guess you were really serious about your training. That's always a good thing." He says approvingly. "Now, before we begin, there are some things you should know. I will not baby you in your training at all, actually I'm going to make it harder on you. The academy starts in about one year and I want you to have a strong grasp on your bloodline when you get there." He says, dead serious to the young 7 year old.

Naruto could only gulp and nod dumbly.

"On top of that I have found you a couple of different instructors for the different aspects of being a ninja. Don't worry though, they will not glare at you and they will treat you fairly. I have also told them not to go easy on you though, but I'm sure you can handle it. You will meet them at a later time, most likely tomorrow. Now let me grab some scrolls from my filing cabinet and we can go.

As they leave the office, Naruto can hardly control his excitement. He is much more jittery than normal even while struggling to move properly while the old man next to him smiles at his enthusiasm. The old man's grin grows when he thinks about all the torture Naruto will be going through in the next year before the academy starts. As soon as they reach the training ground they were moving towards he begins to explain some things to the young blond.

"Alright Naruto, these scrolls contain some katas for taijutsu and another contains some kenjutsu. I want you to have them. There are some other scrolls for the basic academy ninjutsu that you will need to know to graduate. I also have prepared a scroll of a couple different chakra control exercises and some basic fuinjutsu. The control exercises will make it easier for you to use ninjutsu and genjutsu. Fuinjutsu, although rare around here, is extremely useful and you can do almost anything with it. It is also very effective, and I have a hunch you will be a natural at it." He says while avoiding telling him that he is part of the Uzumaki clan before he thinks he is ready, not knowing that Naruto already knows everything.

'Naruto, fuinjutsu will help you a lot in the future just like he said. But what he isn't telling you is that your clan, the Uzumaki clan, were the best fuinjutsu users to ever live.' Kyoshi thought to him without Sarutobi being able to tell.

Naruto doesn't outwardly show that he is surprised but he does get excited at learning the things his clan excelled at. "Awesome Jiji, thanks a lot for the help. I will master all of this stuff easily before I enter the academy and I will pass at the top of my class!" He shouts determinedly.

"Now Naruto-kun, I actually think it would be best if you held back a bit in school. I'm not saying be the worst student in the class, maybe be in the middle. Deception is a ninja's best weapon. And mastering whats in those scrolls isn't the only thing you need to do you know. You have to keep your body healthy and strong. You will do grueling physical exercise everyday and keep increasing your gravity seals like I showed you each time you get used to them.

"Don't worry so much, I will work out physically and also master those jutsu and katas as well, no problem old man. I will also advance it that fuinjutsu stuff because it sounds so cool." Naruto replies confidently.

'That's good that he is interested in fuinjutsu, its in his blood after all.' He thinks with a knowing smile which turns into a sadistic smirk, "alright then tough guy, do 25 push ups, sits ups, crunches, jumping jacks, and then run 3 laps around this training field with only a 1 minute brake in between each of them." He says with a dead serious look in his eyes. "I also have some other things you will need to know but I will tell you them when you are ready to hear them."

"What!? Do you want me to die old man, and why can't you tell me now?" He asks as he lets his complaints known.

"A ninja doesn't complain Naruto-kun, I will also find you a teacher to teach you how to act more appropriately, and I don't think you are ready for what I have in mind to tell you yet. Now go on, or I won't take you out for ramen at all this month." He threatens while Naruto begins to sweat comically.

"What, me complaining. I was just saying how much fun I'm gonna have pushing myself to the limit." He says immediately forgetting his complaints when his ramen was threatened.

Time Skip 1 year

It has been a full year since the day the Hokage got him the scrolls and started him off with his own physical workout plan. Along with his new and improved diet he has been working himself to exhaustion everyday. He is now eight years old and a lot heavier than he was just one year ago and not because he is fat. In fact he is almost all muscle, he is a lot taller now standing around four feet six inches weighing about 90 pounds. He has a lot more muscle on him, but he is in no way bulky, he has a fairly flat and hard stomach not a full formed six pack. If you really look you can see the faint outline of it but he will need to grow into it more. His arms are now bigger and harder than they were before. They are really good size for his age and size. Other than that he still has the same spiky blond hair that barely reaches to his shoulders. His eyes are probably whats changes the most, not the color though, just the emotions that you can pick up from them. He is definitely good looking in any girl's or woman's eyes.

He has mastered the tree walking exercise and all the ninjutsu he was given. All except the bunshin jutsu, having too much chakra for such a low chakra draining technique could do that to you. Instead he was given the kage bunshin jutsu. A solid clone technique that is better than the original technique anyway. His taijutsu is also very good for a kid who hasn't even entered the academy yet, having his gravity seal at level 10 helps with that. Surprisingly enough his kenjutsu is his best skill so far, just barely above his fuinjutsu. He master the basics of seals and has done a lot of calligraphy to make his hand much more steady. Having good teachers can do that for you though, add to the fact that he practically sucks up information like a sponge.

He has only one genjutsu under his belt and that is to cover his scars, he also applied a seal that will hold the genjutsu up for him. It took a lot of work and it holds a lot of his chakra back but having huge reserves takes away that issue.

His teachers were Anko Mitarashi for taijutsu, Yuugao Uzuki for kenjutsu, and Kurenai Yuuhi for genjutsu. His teacher on how to stay calm and act like a real ninja was none other than Tsume Inuzuka all banded together to help him improve his aim with throwing weapons along with anatomy to know where to hit with senbon needles to do the most damage and paralyze people. They also taught him more about herbs and poisons, although just the basics and gave him the books to learn on his own.

He was also taught more advanced trap making skills, as he was already a natural. His already good stealth had also improved with the proper training. He also knows basics of how to dispel genjutsu and how to find if he is in one but his amount of chakra is just too much to learn much of actually making any, other than the most chakra draining ones.

Anko, Kurenai, and Yuugao were all great friends and always talk to one another about everything. They have all started to respect and admire the younger blond boy for his mental strength and his amazing determination. Anko was the one who truly admired him the most and the others would often tease her about being in love with the boy getting a nice pink blush from her.

Tsume was his teacher because she knows how to be forceful and can get her point across easily. She had also really respected the young boy as well as she was friends with his parents and she had thought of introducing her kids to him and maybe get him into her family with Hana. She can sense the alpha in him and him being kind and respectful towards women helped out a lot too, so she thought he would be perfect for Hana.

The two had actually met and Hana definitely saw all the good in Naruto and had become quite taken with the slightly younger boy. She had also met Anko and the others and she was a bit competitive with Anko as her clan is quite possessive with the ones they like and she knew that Anko liked him too. But Anko wasn't going to lose what she really liked either.

Other than learning all of those skills he also worked with his chains. They were upgraded by Kyoshi on the day of his beating to a crimson color. They were made stronger than any other Uzumaki's chains that ever existed, even stronger than his mothers. He has trained them to move in any direction at any time and he can make them go through his feet into the ground.

He has also been having some thoughts about his extremely attractive teacher Anko. Anko has dark purple hair that his help up behind her head making a pineapple like shape. She wears a brown trench coat over a fishnet shirt that leaves little to the imagination. He has tried to get her to wear something more to cover up her C cup breasts because he didn't want anyone else looking at here. Of course though, she would just tease him relentlessly, usually leaving him with a bloody nose and a cherry red face. She also wears a burnt orange short skirt that are a little too short, but he has to admit he likes it. What he really likes though is her personality, it being somewhat similar to his own.

Kurenai, is also a stunning woman with a brunette hair color that goes to the middle of her back. She has beautiful crimson eyes that also remind him of his chains and Kyoshi's eyes and hair. With all the crimson, it has quickly become his favorite color. She is calm and collected and hates perverts. Which is why he tries not stare to much at women. She wears a red dress that is pretty tight and squeezes her B cup breasts. She also has some white tape on her legs and arms. He sees her as more of a sister figure like his other seneis except for Tsume who is like a bossy mother to him, not that he would ever admit that.

Yuugao, is a bit different than the other two. She has a similar hair color to Anko, but she keeps hers down. She is a bit quiet but is also loyal to a fault. She wears standard ANBU gear being and wears the neko mask.

Tsume, is a feral looking woman that has relatively short and spiky brown hair. On her cheeks are the traditional red marks, similar to all the Inuzukas. She is a bit rough around the edges but Naruto doesn't care, he still sees her like a mother to him and he can see the concern she has for him even if she acts all tough.

Kyoshi was also around and helped cover anything of the little things that Tsume may have missed. Naruto also found himself getting these weird feelings towards her and Anko, as well as Ayame. He would have to talk to the old man about it later, but right now he is headed to his first day at the ninja academy.

Naruto has also developed a strong bond with the Sandaime's grandson Konohamaru when they were introduced as he was hoping to make a good friend. Konohamaru always enjoys his time with Naruto and has called him his brother many times which makes Naruto very happy as he has always wondered what it would be like to have a family.
