The Legacy of the Last Hokage

Chapter 1: Naruto's power

"Even Though We Didn't Say It Naruto…….You're Naïve Naruto" said Sasuke

"Even Though We Didn't Say It Sasuke……..We were Friends" said Naruto

"RASENGAN!!"

"CHIDORI !!"

"Sasuke!!" Shouted Naruto awakening from his dream.

Naruto sighed, as Jiraya snored away. The soft rustle of the river calmed him. He chucked a rock into the lake. It had only been two months, yet he was homesick. He missed his home. Where, the leaves rustled gently across the sky. His friends and allies would always be there. A fresh, bowl of ramen always waited for him. He stared at the night sky. The years would change, the seasons will fade, bad times will come, but the stars remain. At least that's what Jiraya said. His blue eyes glimmered in the starlight.

"I wonder if the Hokages ever looked at the night sky?" said Naruto

Naruto continued looking onto the sky. It felt like an eternity but something pressed him to look on.

"Naruto" whispered the wind

Naruto straightened his posture and turned pale." Wh-Who are You?"

"My power you shall wield!" said the entity "I am your predecessor"

"What?" said Naruto

"Put your hand out to the wind My Chakra will be yours, "whispered the wind

Naruto put his hand out to the wind. He felt afraid. Something was familiar about his presence, he felt drawn to him or…whatever it was.

"Naruto Uzumaki, the seventh champion of the village hidden in the leaves" said the entity, in unison with different voices in unison "The Weight of the village lies in your hands"

"Naruto I give you my strength, but my wisdom you must learn on your own" said the wind as it faded away.

Naruto's eyes dilated and shut themselves. He fainted on the spot.

"Naruto, Naruto, Naruto, Naruto" said Jiraya "wake up, we don't have all day"

Naruto felt tired and strangely his body was exhausted. He yawned, and surprisingly didn't say anything. His eyes wandered, to his hands, to the floor, to Jiraya and then the ground. His eyes retained their focus and peered at his stomach. It growled.

"I'm hungry" said Naruto rubbing his eyes

"Yah, we'll stop and make some breakfast" said Jiraya making a fire and he boiled some water. "While we wait let's resume your training"

"Just Tell Me What to DO!!" said Naruto excitedly

"Defeat me, if you can" said Jiraya

Naruto used shadow clone jutsu and produced 1000 clones. They all charged at Jiraya.

Jiraya used a few hand signs, and said "Ninja Art: Nino Gizo (Lions mane Jutsu)

His hair covered his body and extended to all of the clones. It dispelled all of them. Naruto then desperately tried forming a rasengan. He didn't have time to summon a clone. Naruto discovered it was a complete rasengan. He ran at Jiraya, who was still in his cocoon of spikes. Jiraya was shocked; usually Naruto needs a clone to make a rasengan. Therefore, he wasn't expected or prepared to counter act high level ninjutsu. Therefore, Naruto's clone usually gave it away. Jiraya formed his own rasengan just in time.

'Usually I out think the kid, using simple ninjutsu that disposes of his assault but, now it's a matter of strength now' thought Jiraya

The two Rasengans collided with each other. Jiraya noticed that his Rasengan had only one more layers of charka then Naruto's. They both were pushed away from each other. Naruto tumbled to the ground and faltered. He got up again this time with more determination. He formed the Rasengan with in his hand instantly. Jiraya noted that the wind around the rasengan formed its shape. Naruto ran at Jiraya, steadily and then found an incredible burst of speed. A faint trace of yellow hair and lightning was all Jiraya saw.

'Leaping Thunder God Jutsu' thought Jiraya as Naruto's Rasengan hit his stomach. 'The Technique not even the sharingan can trace'

Jiraya spun around, and around faster and faster. He then created a crater in the side of a mountain. Jiraya was amazed by the power in the rasengan it nearly, matched his. He coughed up some blood.

"Pervy Sage are you, alright? "Said Naruto alarmed

"I'm fine Naruto, just a bruise" said Jiraya 'Yah, Right'

"Pervy Sage….."Said Naruto

"Yes, what's the matter" said Jiraya

"I- I- I don't feel tired at all" said Naruto awkwardly" I usually collapse when I use this much chakra, but I don't even feel tired"

'This is Strange….. It is true Naruto usually needs his red chakra , to summon a thousand clones, perform the rasengan twice and the thunder god jutsu takes enormous amounts of chakra.' Inquired Jiraya' it's like some Powerful Shinobi has added on to his power…….not just any Shinobi either………..I wonder'

"Pervy Sage?" said Naruto getting worried

Jiraya looked at him serious, and then stared at him.

"Naruto, I want you to cut those rocks by picturing sharp blades" said Jiraya

Naruto stared at Jiraya, to find a hint of a Joke. Then he failed and tried to cut the rocks. Naruto stared at the rocks and almost instantly. The rocks were cut to pieces.

Jiraya nodded and smiled.

"Naruto you have the wind keke gen kai "said Jiraya "it must have activated overnight"

"So ….. Does this affect my training" said Naruto

"Yes, it does your training will be cut handsomely due to your new sum of chakra." Said Jiraya "I was going to increase your stamina and usage of the rasengan but now that's taken care of I'll help you master different Justus and Techniques that suit you"

"But, you mean for three years I was only going to learn those two things" said Naruto.

"Yes, give or take one or two tricks" said Jiraya "Oh and guess what your going back to the village a year and a half early"

I could barely contain myself; my friends were only 10 months away. He then remembered the chunin exams would start again. Later that day Jiraya treated Naruto to Ramen. They later checked into a hotel and Naruto collapsed on the bed. He then dreamed of Sakura, Lee, Sasuke, becoming Hokage, but strangely he kept thinking about that pretty waterfall girl. His dreams drifted to the skies, as his destiny unravels.
