Author's Note: I just want to thank everyone who has read this, and those who have reviewed, I've received almost 1,500 hits, I know you people could at least leave reviews saying it sucked if you think so, I've had someone ask me why Naruto and Kyuubi relationship like mother/son right now, and all I'll say is that it will change later on as Naruto...matures, yeah lets say that. I've also had someone ask who my OC is, and all I will say is that she is Narutos' age.
Pretty much all I've got to say, besides thank you for reading my story :) I'll probably start putting up my other new story as well soon. Also, Ick this chapter came out shorter then I wanted, next chapter should be longer.
Fifteen minutes later and the three walked into the Hokage's office and were standing before the Hokage.
"Hokage-sama, these three passed my test with flying colors, we're here to take our first Mission, and to up Naruto's punishment, he says he doesn't even feel the weight anymore" Kakashi stated while bowing.
Sarutobi glanced over at Naruto, whose shirt was open and his stomach was covered in dried blood, "Naruto what happened to you? You're covered in blood" he asked
Naruto rubbed the back of his head "Little bit of a mishap during the test, two Kunai to the stomach when I caught Kakashi off guard, hah"
Sarutobi glared at Kakashi "You stabbed a genin during their exam?"
Kakashi put his hand up defensively "It was an accident, I didn't expect him to be mixed in with the clones!"
Sarutobi nodded "very well, there are a few D-ranks here today you can take them. And..." He snapped his fingers and two Anbu appeared bowing to him "Yes Hokage-sama?"
"Get the weights, I want you too double Naruto's weight"
Both Anbu bowed and disappeared, only to reappear a moment later with a set of weights, which they looked to be struggling to carry. "Hokage-sama don't you think this is a bit extreme? He's just a boy, and we can barely lift these weights"
"He will take the punishment for what he's done" Both Anbu nodded and went over to Naruto and took off his old set of weights, and put on the new ones. It had the same reaction as last time of making it hard for him to walk, or raise his arms.
"Thanks Hokage-sama, I was hoping I'd get a new set soon, those other one's were like feathers, feels good to have some weight on me" Naruto said
Sarutobi grinned "I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun doing D-ranks with those weights on Naruto, and from now on I want you to come to the office whenever your weights feel light, I don't want you to have any time of relaxation until your first C-rank, which will be in about a month"
Naruto bowed "Of course Hokage-sama"
The team took their missions and headed out to do a few for the day, and by the end of the day the genin's had decided that D-rank missions suck.
"Ne, Kakashi-sensei how many D-ranks do we have to do before we're allowed to take a C-rank?" Naruto asked
"Normally about 50-100 D-ranks, if you do 2-3 a day it takes about a month or so" Kakashi replied
Naruto grinned "Good, starting tomorrow we are going to blow through about 15-20 D-ranks...or I am at least"
Kakashi looked intrigued "And how do you plan to do that Naruto?"
Naruto grinned his evil grin "Trade secrets Kakashi, I'll see you all later I have training to do"
Naruto went off to his training ground to set up a few hundred clones to work on Chakra control, it was to late to send any to the library so he just went to sleep with the command to dispel slowly over the night.
The next morning team 7 was before the Hokage again, but this time Naruto spoke up "Hokage-sama, how many D-rank missions do you have in total to hand out right now?"
Sarutobi cocked his head slightly "We have about 50 D-ranks right now, why?"
Naruto got an evil glint in his eye "Good, can I get about 15 or 20 of them? I guarantee that we will complete them by the end of the day"
Sarutobi frowned "That's impossible Naruto, the most D-ranks that were ever done in one day by a team was 10"
Naruto's grin grew "Really? In that case give us 30 missions, I know it's do able"
Sarutobi shrugged "Just so you know the team that did it had the fourth Hokage on it"
"Good, just gimme the missions they'll be done before sun down"
Sarutobi sighed, He knew it was impossible "Fine, here you go" he handed over a whole bunch of scrolls to Naruto. And the team then left the tower, once outside the team turned to Naruto
Kakashi spoke up, "Ok what's up Naruto what are you doing asking for so many missions, it's impossible"
Naruto grinned "Wrong Kakashi, I could have done all 50 missions if I wanted to, now lets begin!" Naruto did the hand seals for Kage Bunshin and 120 clones poofed around him, then all the clones split into 4 man groups, with 3 of them henged into Kakashi, Sakura, and Sasuke. Naruto handed out a scroll to each of the 30 teams and dismissed them.
"And thats that, 30 teams of us doing 30 missions at once, they should be done in just a few hours" he laughed.
Kakashi frowned "Naruto, the point of D-rank missions is not to just get them done, it's to promote the teamwork between members and to show that life isn't all fun and games"
Naruto shrugged "It's not like they will actually teach us teamwork, what is there to do? Oh Sakura you wanna grab that weed over there? Kakashi I don't think life is all fun and games, but I'm training right now just by doing these D-ranks, and plus with the time the clones save us then we can go and train and progress further and faster!"
Kakashi frowned, this wasn't how he wanted it to go, but Naruto had a good point "Fine, while your clones do the D-ranks for us we will train, meet me at Training ground 7 in 20 minutes"
"Kay, see ya there Kakashi" Naruto yelled over his shoulder as he walked away, he needed to go get used to his weights and quick before training.
He went to his private training field and created 5 Bunshins to gang up on him. What better way to get used to the weights then get beat until you can block them?
20 minutes later Naruto was already used to his new weights enough to move his legs and arms enough to move normally, albeit slowly. He took off towards Training ground 7, and he got there 5 minutes late, and was surprised to see Kakashi and the other two there already.
"Naruto, you're five minutes late" Kakashi stated in a monotone
Naruto shrugged "Sorry, was training to get used to my new weight, so...what are we going to be doing Kakashi?"
Kakashi walked over towards the trees of the training ground "I'm going to help you with your chakra control, by climbing trees"
Both Sakura and Sasuke simultaneously said "Nani?" while Naruto just looked put off.
"That's your big way to train us Kakashi? That is soo boring" Naruto drawled
Kakashi's eye narrowed at Naruto "Maybe you should let me demonstrate first Naruto" Kakashi then walked up to a tree and walked right up the side until he was hanging upside down from a branch, "This is what I meant Naruto"
Naruto sighed and walked up to the tree next to Kakashi and jogged up the side and jumped over on the same branch as Kakashi and hung upside down in front of him, "I know what you meant Kakashi, it's boring, I've been doing this for years now"
Kakashi's eye widened at Naruto's statement that he'd been doing chakra control exercises for years now "Naruto, what other chakra control exercises have you done, if any?"
Naruto shrugged and started counting off fingers "Tree climbing, water walking, Kunai balancing, Senbon balancing, and an extra special variety that very few people can do that I thought of myself"
Kakashi's eye widened further as he counted off his fingers, some Jounin couldn't even do Senbon balancing, and he's only 12! "Naruto, tell me how long have you been practicing chakra control?"
Naruto sighed "If you count the time I've gained from my Kinjutsu, about 9 years, I just wish I knew more ways to train my chakra control, I've thought of trying waterfall running, but there's no waterfalls in Konoha"
Kakashi's eye once again narrowed, how many secrets did this mystery child keep? "Naruto how do you have 9 years of training, you're 12, what is this Kinjutsu?"
Naruto grinned evilly "There's no fun in telling you, but you've seen it before I can tell you that"
'A Kinjutsu that I've seen before, does he mean ever or that I've seen him use? Hell he's only used the Kage Bunshin...That's it!' "Ahh, I see what you did, that is incredibly intelligent to do Naruto, with a good training regimen using that technique you could easily become incredibly powerful"
Naruto nodded "Yes, and I am fully exploiting it, I will become the most powerful person on earth, I have no doubt" Naruto then dropped from the tree back down to his teammates, who were amazed at how Kakashi walked up the tree, but were down right floored when Naruto followed him right up the tree.
Sakura stammered out the question both she and Sasuke were thinking "H-how did you guys do that?"
Naruto smiled warmly at her "Chakra, we used our chakra to stick to the trees"
"Hey Kakashi, I'll help Sakura get it, you help Sasuke, how's that?" Naruto called back to Kakashi, who just nodded and dropped down to Sasuke.
"Good, Sakura come with me" Naruto beckoned, which she did she followed him over away from Kakashi and Sasuke out to the edge of the training ground where Naruto stood next to a tree.
"Okay Sakura, come over here and put one foot on the tree" Sakura walked up to the tree and put one foot on the tree. "Like this?"
Naruto nodded "Yes, good. Now channel your chakra to that foot until you feel your foot 'stick' to the tree"
Sakura did so, her foot glowed a dull blue "I think I got it Naruto, it feels like it's glued there!"
Naruto walked around behind her and held her under her arms, "N-Naruto, what are you doing?"
"Trust me, lift your other foot off the ground and put it on the tree, and try to get it to stick"
Sakura lifted her other foot off the ground and put it on the tree and started to channel chakra to it, and like on Naruto's first time she lost her hold and fell to the ground, but Naruto was there and caught her. "T-thanks Naruto-kun" The affectionate suffix didn't go unnoticed by Naruto 'Is this the same girl that I put in the hospital last week?' "It's alright Sakura, the same thing happened to me the first time, but I didn't have someone to catch me, hah. Try it again, and don't worry I'll catch you again if you fall"
So, Naruto helped Sakura learn to climb trees, she had naturally good chakra control so she got it pretty fast. Sasuke...didn't, by the end of the day he had only made it about half way up a tree, about as far as Naruto did on his first day trying. Sakura had gotten all the way to the tip-tops of the trees.
In the Naruto's group's of clones came back to the team and dropped off the mission scrolls so they could bring them to the Hokage tower, and rub it in Sarutobi's face of course.
Team 7 walked into the office with the mission scrolls, Naruto walked up to Sarutobi's desk and dumped the scrolls on his desk, "Thirty completed D-rank missions Hokage-sama, and you said it couldn't be done, we could have done all fifty that you had, but I wanted to leave some for the other genin squads"
Sarutobi was speechless "This is truly phenomenal Naruto, how did you do it? You beat the fourth Hokages' genin squad three fold"
Naruto chuckled "Afraid I can't tell you how I, I mean we did it. A good Shinobi never reveals his secrets"
Sarutobi was put off, "Fine, this is a huge number of missions Naruto, it would take most genin teams upwards of two and a half weeks to do this many missions, you and your team have a huge pay check coming to you"
Naruto grinned "Great, I could always use some extra money, So tomorrow we do it again?"
Sarutobi shook his head "No, from now on I'm not letting your team do more then 3 missions a day, I want you to have time working together with your teammates"
Naruto frowned, "But! Then it will take us another 8 days at least!"
Sarutobi nodded "Exactly, normally it would take genin teams over a month to do it, time to get to know each other and to learn to work together, this will give you some more time to do those things, plus I want you to get the full extent of your punishment still"
Naruto was...unhappy "Don't you think our time could be better spent training together as a team, doing team exercises and such? Weeding gardens does not promote any kind of teamwork Hokage-sama!"
Sarutobi was done with this conversation, he got up from his desk and shouted "Do not raise your voice to me! I am the Hokage of this village, my word is law, you will learn to respect that!"
Naruto hung his head, bangs shading his eyes "Yes, Hokage-sama"
Sarutobi collected himself and sat back down, "Good, I will see you and your team tomorrow"
Naruto nodded and left the office leaving his team behind him, he needed to go work off some stress, and that's exactly what he went and did, he worked out at his training ground until he passed out in the clearing.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
And that's how the week went, with the team doing their limit of 3 missions per day, then Naruto would go off and Train into the night before heading home to sleep. Today was the last day, they had handed in their final D-rank mission and tomorrow Sarutobi was giving Team 7 their first C-rank mission, and with that Naruto's weights would be removed, which were now up to a staggering weight of 1,600 pounds total, that leaves us here, in Naruto's Mind.
Naruto stood before the giant gates of Kyuubi's 'prison' if it could be called that anymore, once Kyuubi told him the look of his mind was up to him and him alone he made some significant changes, his side of the Mind scape was now a rather lavish study with a homey fireplace on one end of the room, on the bookshelves throughout the large room were thousands of books, all of which were Naruto's memories on past things, one specific Cabinet was wrapped in chains and locked down, Naruto's locked away memories. Instead of a wall on the far side of the room was Kyuubi's giant cage door, on the other side of the door was an endless plain of grass with the occasional tree dotting the landscape, Kyuubi lay on the other side of the cage while Naruto was in a recliner in the Study.
"Kyuu-chan, I was wondering about the weights the Hokage's given me as 'punishment' why is it that the weights never get too heavy for me? And I get used to them in almost no time at all, even the 1,600 pound set doesn't bother me anymore, why?"
"I think I am the reason behind this Kit, the healing effects my chakra grants you is not limited in what it can heal, so the constant strain and wear put on your muscles by having the weights on is almost instantly fixed and reinforced, you training with weights gives you incredible results at an inhuman pace, it's quite fascinating actually"
"Cool, It's a shame that the weights come off tomorrow, and the only equipment shop that lets me in doesn't make or sell weights"
Kyuubi nodded "Yes, but I think I have a way to get around this little problem with the weights, I remembered an old seal I saw many years back, it was a weight seal, it effects the mass of anything it is put on, and the weight can be increased in levels by adding chakra to the seals"
Naruto grinned "That's fantastic, can it be put onto a person?"
Kyuubi nodded "Yes, but we're not going to do it, the way the seal works it takes about 20 seconds of focusing your chakra to change it one level, so with the weight you would have it set you would die in combat before you got the weight low enough to make a difference"
Naruto sighed "Then what was the point of getting my hopes up Kyuu-chan? Do you like to see me upset?"
Kyuubi frowned "No. What we can do is put the seals on your clothing, so you can take off the clothes to instantly drop all the weight, We put one on your jacket, and on a pair of bracers for your ankles and wrists, that way in a tough fight you just toss off the weights, and viola! Instant speed"
Naruto broke out into a grin "That's pure genius Kyuu-chan!, can we set it up now so when I take off the weights tomorrow I can put it right back on?"
Kyuubi nodded "Yes, we can, but first we have to leave the mind scape, and you have to get the required equipment"
Naruto grinned and pumped his fist in an excited fashion "Great! I already have the bracers we can use in closet at home, they have quick release latches, they will work great!, and I have an ink well and brush on my dresser, lets get started!" Naruto faded from the mind scape with his grin still plastered to his face, he opened his eyes and jumped off his bed, where he had lay down for the meeting.
"Ok, get the bracers, take off your jacket and get the ink and brush, this will take a while"
Naruto did as instructed and got all the needed items, he was ready and sitting on the floor within a few minutes, "Ok Kyuu-chan, ready to go!"
Naruto, with the help of Kyuubi then put the new seals on the items, the seals were intricate and very beautiful looking when finished, but the way Kyuubi explained it to him they functioned in a very simple fashion, they just compressed the mass of the object for every level, increasing the object in density, and increasing it's weight. Kyuubi also had him make a sealing scroll to put the jacket and weights in until tomorrow, since he couldn't wear the 1600 pound Hokage weights, and his own weights, in the end it took him about 60 minutes to bring all the gear up in the levels, he then sealed them away and went to sleep, they had a big day ahead of them.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
The next morning Naruto got up and completed his morning routine, he put on his spare jacket since his newly weighted one was in his new scroll, which he had in one of the pouches of his belt, he took off and went to the Hokage tower as planned. He got there in about 20 minutes with his weights, the rest of the team was already there waiting in the Hokage's office.
Sarutobi nodded to Naruto "Good morning Naruto, are you ready to have your weights removed, and to take your first C-rank mission today?"
Naruto bowed deeply "Hai, I am Hokage-sama"
Sarutobi nodded again, and snapped his fingers and four Anbu appeared one either side of him "Please remove Naruto's set of weights, his punishment is over" The four Anbu walked over to Naruto and removed the weights, and sluggishly left with them.
Once the Anbu left Naruto took out a scroll from his belt and unrolled it on the floor, he also took off his jacket, which made Sakura blush slightly at the sight of his upper body.
Sarutobi for one was confused. "Naruto, would you mind telling me what your doing?" He asked
Naruto grinned "Since you removed my weights, I'm putting on the set I created last night" He stated, while swiping some of his blood over the scroll, revealing an identical jacket to the one he was wearing, and also 2 pairs of bracers, one for the ankles and one for the wrists. He then put on the new jacket, rolled up his pant legs and put on those bracers. When he finished with those bracers he went on to his wrist bracers, while he was strapping on them he accidentally dropped on and it smashed onto the floor with a very heavy 'thud' that shook the room slighly, Naruto grinned sheepishly and put it on, then stood back up after sealing his regular jacket away and putting the scroll away.
Everyone was wide eyed at the fact that the little bracers shook the floor they stood on. Sarutobi regained his composer first "Naruto, how much does your new weights weigh exactly?"
Naruto chuckled "Just about 1,900 Pounds Hokage-sama", he then broke out into a grin at the renewed gaping expressions of everyone present.
"V-very well Naruto, lets get to the matters at hand now that everyone is here and ready, Tazuna!, you may come in now!" Sarutobi called out to Tazuna, who came in through the doors a moment later.
"Tch. These brats are supposed to protect me? The blond one looks like a moron"
Naruto flinched at the insult "I'm sorry to inform you that your observations are inaccurate, this team is more then capable of doing whatever needed to do. If by some chance we aren't, Kakashi here is a Jounin."
Sarutobi nodded "Naruto is correct Tazuna, they are more then capable, your mission is to escort Tazuna back to his home in wave country and protect him from bandits and thieves while he finishes a bridge he's building"
Kakashi nodded "Hai, Hokage-sama. Everyone go home and pack for 3 weeks, meet me at the gates in 30 minutes"
