CHAPTER THREE

(I'm not going to go into the details of Naruto's training)

It has been a couple months since Naruto left with Emori to go and train, so far they had covered basic chakra moulding, tree and water walking. Naruto had also started talking to Kurma and he and taught Naruto basic sensing, seeing as it was easy for him with kurma sealed in him, and strategy. Emori had now started to teach Naruto harder jutsu such as Small genjutsu and Shadow clones also taijutsu ready for kenjutsu.

"Hey old man where are we gonna stay? So far we've just stopped for a week or two then moved on" Naruto questioned. "We not stoping anywhere for to long a good shinobi knows how to adapt to the situation" Emori said. The old man was full of proverbs. Right now Naruto and Emori were traveling past the hidden cloud.

*six years later*

"You've come far in this time kid. You were just a brat when I met you now your much stronger than you'd be if you'd stayed in that village". "Old man I've had a lot of fun, but isn't it time we go back to the village? So why are we headed to Suna?". " We still have time and Suna has much better swords, for today I am buying you a sword ". Naruto grinned at Emori, "Arigato old man". "I'm not old kid". "And I'm not a kid". They laughed at each other.

When they got to Suna they saw some old friends Gaara, Kankaro and Temeri, they hadn't seen them since Naruto was 7 1/2. "Hey guys long time no see!" Naruto waved at his friends but knew he didn't have time today for a reunion. Emori nodded at him. They started walking to the local weapon shop to buy Naruto a sword.

When they got there Emori talked to the owner as Naruto looked at the different swords ,before now he had practised with a wooden sword. There were a lot of different swords tall ones shorter ones serrated swords ect ect. Naruto started to worry as he couldn't find any swords that caught his eye until he got to the very back was and katana with a red and white handle and a black sheath. Naruto picked up the sword with curiosity in his eye, as he un-sheathed the newly sharpened blade he knew that that sword was made for him.

"Emori this is the one". "Ok". He turned to the shop owner. "Are you sure that thats the one thats right for him?" Inquired the shop owner. "He called me by my name thats the one"

*10 minutes later*

"Thank you old man" Naruto said walking down the main street in Suna with his new sword. "It's ok my young friend now we must go home otherwise I won't have enough money and you won't be able to do the genin exam". They waved to Temeri and her brothers again then left the village

*three days later at the gates to kohana*

"It's nice to be home!" Naruto declared as he walked through the gates. "Stop who are you people?" Shouted one of the guards. "Naruto and Emori Uzumaki returning" stated Emori bluntly. "Alright go on a head".

"So kid where do you want to go first? Ramen? Hokage? Home? Where?". "Umm I'm not sure, i mean I could kill of some ramen but the Hokage is really nice and I haven't seen him in over six years but home...". "What about Hokage, ramen then home?" . "Yeah!" . So they walked in the direction of the Hokage tower. Emori noticed that the look the villagers are giving Naruto are different from when they left. They almost looked intreagred as to who they are, but some still glared some recognised Naruto, but I mean who couldn't with those wiskers of his.

When they finally got to the tower Naruto was grinning like well a happy Naruto. "Hey Jiji how you been?!" Naruto nearly shouted running into the Hokages office. "Hey kid what did we say about knocking after I knocked some manners into you". "Sorry old man".

"Hello Naruto, Emori, it's has been a while sorry do you mind sitting down and waiting for a bit while I talk to my jounin?" "Thats fine Hokage, we will wait outside, come on kid".

After they walked out the Hokage started to brief his jounin "Okay so you all know that if Naruto passes the gennin exam there will be an odd number of people, so one team will have to be a four and I'm guessing Emori wouldn't mind a job so he will be helping the team with four people until we know what he's capable of, is everyone okay with that?". "Hai sir" kakashi, kurini and azuma said in unison. "What team will Naruto be put in sir?" Asked Kakashi. "I'm not sure once I decided I shall inform the team leader. You are all dismissed".

Naruto wondered into the Hokage's office after the jounin came out "Hello, again..." Naruto grinned. "So Hokage whats the plans for Naruto" said Emori. "Straight to buisness I see Emori, well first we are going to send him to the academy for the gennin exam, then if he passes we will put him in a squad and if you want you canhelp that squad if you need a job for now" he replied. "So... Down to the academy it is then, when?" Naruto asked. "After lunch Iruka sensei's room". Naruto bowed and walked out the room he needed some ramen, Emori bowed and followed him out.
