Sakura lain on the ground all sprawled and panting. Naruto had started her Taijutsu training in his families style seeing as it fit her better then the Konoha Senpu.
"Come on Sakura I know you have more stamina then that.", the clone of her master encouraged her.
"Please... sensei... let me... take a short... break...", she panted weakly.
"Ok *sigh* you can rest for 10 minutes. I want to talk to our spectator anyway.", he sighed making her follow his look and saw a young Kitsune kid watching them from the distance.
"You can come over here. We won't hurt you.", Naruto called with a gentle smile not showing his fangs as he crouched down to be on eye level with the child.
The kid looked unsure but slowly walked over to the two visitors. When he finally reached them he mustered them closely. Now Sakura could also look at the kid closely from her position. He was a kid about 6-7 years with blond hair sun kissed blond hair and two tails waving behind him a bit hesitant. He wore a simple dark orange kimono with no shoes, showing of his clawed feet.
"What can we help you with little one?", the vampire asked in a soft voice that Sakura would think a child caretaker would have.
"I... I wanted to...", the Kitsune stuttered before he seemed to collect himself.
"I wanted to ask if you really were... a va... vam... vamp...", he began confident but it faded at the end.
"You want to know if I'm a vampire?", Naruto formed the question for him making him nod in silence
"Yes I'm a vampire but don't worry I'm not like my ancestors or the Shinigami wouldn't have turned me into one.", he assured the kid while showing a small fanged grin.
The kid only grinned and ran away towards the village. Sakura looked after him with a confused look before she heard her sensei chuckle.
"Nice kid. Bet his friends challenged him to ask me that.", he chuckled.
"But why did he seem to be so afraid?", Sakura questioned confused.
"Well you see there were more of my kind till sometime ago. They were mindless beasts and lets just say that they destroyed more then one village in their blood rage.", the teen sighed not liking to think of his former peoples mistakes.
"What happened to them? If they were just partially as strong as you then what could have killed them?", the girl asked not seeing her sensei's obvious pain to the question.
"I killed them all.", he sighed and sat down beside her.
"What?", she sat up and looked at him confused.
"Why would you do that?", she continued.
"They were monsters Sakura. They needed to be stopped or they would have returned to their former glory and overrun humanity. Since Motoko isn't allowed to interfere in the human realm to much she couldn't do it herself. That's why she searched for someone with a pure soul, someone she could entrust with these enormous powers and then she found me. So I picked up my duty and destroyed the remains of my kind before they got strong again.", the vampire explained with a steeled look in his eyes.
"How did their numbers reduce so much if they were so powerful?", the pink haired girl asked confused.
"The people of Uzu were Ninja but they were mainly vampire hunters. But because of a betrayal inside the leaf they were left to die and so it was destroyed in the last Ninja war.", he sighed not liking why his former people died.
"What do you mean betrayal?", she asked confused how her home village could leave a allied village to fend for themselves.
"There was a conspiracy inside the council during that time. You may have learned about Danzô Shimura in the academy. He betrayed the leaf and left Uzu to perish by stopping the request for help reach the Hokage.", the vampire sighed and stood up.
"Wasn't he a member of the Sandaime Hokage's team?", Sakura was confused.
"Yes he was and a power hungry fool at that.", the man growled and she knew to drop the topic.
"So how far did you two get while I was gone?", another Naruto walked up to the two.
The clone simply puffed away and the original looked through his memories. Sakura looked at her sensei in awe. He looked a bit different from before. His hairstyle had changed into something that looked more like Ino's style. His spiky red hair hung before his right eye while the rest was tied into a low ponytail. He head silver ornaments webbed into his hair. Some silver fox fangs along with equally silver feathers and carved silver pins. In between them were polished rubies, yellow jade, aquamarine, red corals and tiger eyes weaved into the wisps of hair. (AN: Think Jack Sparrow just with silver and gems) His eyes held a strong but gentle glow giving his shadowed right eye a more mysterious feeling. He also wore a different attire. Gone was his black leather clothes and they were replaced withe a simple black hakama and sandals. The Fox Fangs were still bound to his back. His aura gave a sense of actual peace not the usually cold calculative calmness.
"So you started your Taijutsu training in my families style and medical knowledge. That's good to know. So how do you feel of continuing your training?", he asked calm.
"Uhm... not really sensei... I thought that maybe I could concentrate more on medical training today. My muscles are killing me.", she asked finding it a bit more easy to be around him now.
"Okay do that. While you learn from the scrolls I will look around if I can find some herbs for my poisons. I'm running pretty low on them right now.", he explained calm before he turned to leave.
"I'll be back in two hours. You have your provisions if you get hungry. We will be staying at Lisa-chan's place tonight.", he explained before he vanished in a Shunshin.
Sakura only looked at the place where her sensei just stood before she shook her head dispelled her own clone only to clutch her head in pain. She still wasn't used to the sudden influx of informations from the technique and when she used it to learn it was even worse. After the pain finally dulled she stumbled to the tree where her clone had sat and picked up the scroll again to test her knowledge on the just learned stuff. She was smart that went without a question but she worked hard for what she knew. Sakura was a born theorist but she had problems to use the learned in practice.

Naruto walked around the border of the village and looked at the plants growing there. He had unsealed a basket from a seal on his lower left arm, under his left arm. Carefully he plucked out a plant here and there and put it in his basket. After a hour or so he finally had filled his basket to the top. He then unsealed a mortar and pestle along with some of his own herbs and small bottles filled with liquids. They were round and 5in in diameter like a ball with a flat side to place them down. Along with the bottles he unsealed a black leather belt with metal test tubes put into the belt. The tubes were about 1in thick and 5in long. The final was a gas cooker along with a few pots. The vampire placed everything before himself and sorted the herbs and began to pound them into a dark green paste. He began to add a herb here and there along with some of the liquids from the bottles and the paste turned blood red. Then he filled the paste into a pot and put it on the cooker. Carefully he began to stir the paste with a Senbon needle till it began to liquefy. Before it completely liquefied he added a shot of a clear liquid and stirred it before he pulled a tube from th belt and opened it. With a calm calm hand he poured the liquid into the tube and leaned it against the mortar to cool down.
"Crying Fire complete.", he muttered as he sniffed the poison.
"You are quite skilled aren't you Naruto-kun?", a female voice asked behind him.
"Well yes Kaleila-san. I learned from the best poison maker in the elemental nations. He was a great man and a great medic after his days of bloodshed. He taught me everything he knew before he died of old age.", the teen sighed making the woman look at him sadly.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...", she began to only for her to interrupt her.
"Don't worry about it. He had a long great life. Now he's resting in peace.", the Jonin explained calm giving her a soft smile.
Kaleila only nodded not wanting to press the matter before she remembered something.
"I heard you will be staying at Lisa-chan's house tonight is that right?", she asked with a smile.
"Yes. She offered me and my student her place for the night.", he nodded and began to clean his tools and put the now closed tube back in the belt.
"Well then I will be seeing you later.", she grinned and walked off without awaiting his answer.

"So that's what you meant earlier.", the Jonin grinned as he looked at the woman before him.
Naruto had carried a exhausted Sakura to Lisa's house and was greeted by the smiling face of Kaleila.
"You know my kaa-san, Naruto-kun?", Lisa asked confused.
"We talked after you were finished with me.", he teased the young fox girl only to make her blush like mad.
Kaleila saw where he was going with this and picked up on it.
"Hey no fair Lisa-chan. I wanted to claim him.", she wined making her daughter blush even more.
"If you really want to we could have a threesome.", the vampire continued only for the poor Kitsune girl to faint and fall to the ground with a massive blush.
That was enough to make the mother and the Jonin to laugh. The vibrations of his body made Sakura stir on his back, remembering him that he was still carrying her.
"Say could you tell me where I can put my student please? She exhausted herself mentally and needs rest.", he asked calm.
"Of course. Follow me.", the woman guided him to a room where he put the pink haired girl on a bed but not before picking up her daughter and placing her in the other bed.
She immediately snuggled into the comfy feeling of the mattress and the two left. In the living room both sat down and shared a laugh.
"Lisa-chan's face was priceless.", Naruto laughed.
"You're right there.", Kaleila laughed.
"So how do you like the ornaments?", she changed the topic.
"They are really beautiful.", he smiled and let his fingers glide through the ornaments.
"This new hairstyle also gives you a more mysterious feeling.", she giggled and pushed a wisps of hair behind her ear.
"Thank you. I thought it was time for a change.", he smiled and looked at the ceiling.
"So... can you tell me a bit more about yourself?", the woman asked with a slight stutter.
"What's there to know? The day I was born Kurami-nee was sealed into me. My parents died and the village wanted my death every minute of my life. Then the Uchiha took me in till my godfather came around and took me away for training. During that I killed the last remaining vampires in the elemental nations. I returned to the Leaf and then I came to find your people.", he shrugged casually.
Kaleila looked at him in disbelief.
'How can he act so casually about people wanting to end his life all the time?', she thought shocked.
"How can you be so calm about it?", she asked in a silent scream.
"I have long since given up on Konoha learning from their mistakes but they are indoctrination resistant.", he shrugged calm not looking at her.
"Come on we should go to bed. Tomorrow is a long day.", he sighed and leaned back.
"Is that an offer?", Kaleila teased making him grin.
"Sorry but I already have someone I love and my cousin is also after my ass.", he grinned at her gobsmacked expression.
"I know that Lisa-chan has a crush on me and despite me not liking it I'm still a Konoha nin and a heir to two clans. That means that the CRA will be applied on me.", he explained with a tired sigh.
"The what?", the woman asked confused.
"The Clan Restoration Act. It means that I have to marry multiple women to ensure my clans survival. But maybe I can bypass it by leaving the village and finally become the Uzukage. Though I will miss my friends in Konoha.", he stated serious.
Kaleila knew that it would be best to listen to his advice and get some rest because she wouldn't get anymore answers tonight. She excused herself and Naruto laid down on the couch immediately drifted off.
