Review shout outs :
lightningblade49: glad you liked that, I was getting worried I was doing it too much but I stand corrected.
JaCk-o'-LaNtErN 91: thanks man for the review, yah don't worry I wont be sticking to canon too much besides the overall plot but ill be adding tons of changes and ill try to make things interesting or try to add sidestories and such. I just had to get past the introduction chapters.
grimangel163: thanks man im glad u guys r liking it
redlox2: thanks man I love being appreciated hehe, yah just so u know Naruto cant beat kakashi…yet but he can still take some bells and with Danzo and the academy changes it wont really affect the plot.
ArashiKage Naruto: yah im probably gonna need a beta or make sure I triple check everything cus a lot of times I might replace a word like "here" with "hear" and then my spellcheck wont pick it up and with the paragraphs I was skeptical about em when I first made the chapter so now I just revised it and yes the beginning part about Naruto being trained by Danzo, sent to oto, and then found by Jiraiya is all Kenchi618's idea I got his permission and he said I can do this story as long as I make sure its good so I'll be hoping for some of your help on that. Other than those things it'll be all original from here.

Thanks you guys for all of the reviews and I'm glad you're liking it. I'll be changing plenty of things up, it may seem to follow canon a lot but I'll be trying to add my own original plot every now and then that'll last a chapter or two. If you guys got any ideas for that pm me and I'll see what I can do. I would also like to be given ideas for names for a couple of my collaboration jutsu that I made this chapter. Well enough of me rambling here's the newest of Naruto: soldier of root.

"This is as far as I can take you Tazuna, good luck" the rower said in a hushed voice.
"Thanks for taking me so far you won't regret it, that bridge will be finished in no time at all." The old bridge-builder said with a smile.
"Ok everyone form up again, be on high alert, it'll be hard to see anything in this mist, and this would be the perfect time for an ambush." Kakashi said while getting to his position.
"Hai sensei" said the trio while going to their spots.
After about ten minutes of walking, Naruto sensed something over to their left and quickly threw a kunai over into the bushes. When he went to examine his work all he saw was an extremely frightened white bunny.
"Naruto you baka! You almost killed this poor innocent rabbit!" Sakura screeched.
"Two things Sakura, one shut up, once again you have given away our position, second, this isn't the right season for this rabbits fur to be white, which means it's been raised indoors, for substitution purposes perhaps, you should really be more deductive, use that brain of yours behind your huge forehead for once before you speak." Naruto said in a chiding tone.
Sakura was about to lash out when he mentioned her big forehead when she was tackled down by Naruto while hearing Kakashi yelling for them to get down and then watching a humongous blade sail over their heads before lodging itself into a tree. A large man appeared on top of the blade with bandages on his face and a scratched mist hitai-ate.
"Well well well, Zabuza Momochi, known as the Kirigakure no Kijin, A-ranked criminal, didn't expect see someone like you here." Stated Kakashi before pulling up his headband revealing his sharingan eye.
"The great Sharingan no Kakashi knows my name, I'm honored, and I get to see the sharingan for myself, let me kill the old man and I'll leave you and your bunch of brats alone." Said the sword wielding ninja.
"Naruto give him our answer, Sasuke, Sakura stay back to guard Tazuna" kakashi said while preparing for the fight.
Naruto just nodded before finishing his hand signs "Raiton: Gian!" A large amount of lightning was sent towards Zabuza making him leap out of the way but was surprised to see it following him.
Naruto made six seal-less shadow clones and sent them in pairs of two to surround Zabuza who was still dodging the original's technique.
Two finished their seals and called out "Fuuton: great whirlwind/Suiton: water tornado" then called out at the same time "Typhoon water vortex."
Two others waited a few seconds to make sure their technique wouldn't cancel out the other one and then sent in their jutsu "Fuuton: Daitoppa/Katon: Gokakyu bringing out a powered up fireball.
The last two finished the hand signs before calling out their technique "Raiton: Lightning dragon/Suiton: water dragon bullet!" before a large dragon arose from the water before being combined with the lightning dragon that came from the air.
Zabuza knew that unless he could create a collaboration jutsu in order to cancel out each of those other ones there would be no real point of using ninjutsu. He tried using a kawarimi to switch himself only to say hi to the giant fireball scorching the place. He used one more kawarimi before he was struck from behind from the raiton enhanced water dragon.
He was then slammed into a tree by it and was still twitching from the jutsu after everything cleared. "Hey Zabuza! Are you dead yet!" Naruto called out cheerfully.
All he got was a growl/groan in unbearable agonizing pain from Zabuza, "Ooook let me know when you are!"
"Oh and you, Hunter-nin, come on out!" Naruto shouted out looking into a bunch of trees.
A Hunter-nin cautiously came out before speaking "I thank you for taking down Zabuza for me, I have been tracking him down for quite some time."
"Well go ahead and do your business I don't care about his bounty I guess you get the honor of finishing him off although I did all the work." Naruto said.
The hunter-nin threw a senbon that pierced the back of Zabuza's neck before jumping down to take the body, hoisting one arm over his shoulder.
"Well aren't you going to cut off his head or actually kill him, I understand the senbon to the neck so he won't move as you kill him but aren't you supposed to cut off the head on the spot and then incinerate the body?" Naruto questioned while preparing himself for another fight and making hand signals to the others for them to be on guard.
"I don't feel it necessary to show such things to mere genin, I'm doing it out of respect for your innocence." The hunter-nin replied.
"Please these guys have seen me kill twice in a few seconds, we can take it, or are you unwilling to kill him for some other purpose?" the blonde asked.
The hunter-nin judged his options of escape out of his situation before building up chakra for a shunshin but stopped when he felt a two pairs of hands grab his ankles and a blade across his throat, and watched Kakashi make a strange jutsu that sounded like birds chirping.
"I asked you a question hunter-nin, if you even are one. Must we spill your blood?" Naruto questioned while the clone pressed his blade harder into the fake hunter-nins neck and the clones grabbing his ankles channeled lightning chakra into their palms much to kakashi's interest while Haku started having trouble concentrating while being shocked. He then decided to go with a long shot it may end up with his throat slit but it was worth a shot.
He quickly expelled wind chakra from all around him scattering the clones lightning chakra and blowing the clone back although his blade managed to still cut across his throat, nothing dangerous it would just leave a scar for a while.
Just as Kakashi was about to reach him having felt him building up his chakra for that wind move the hunter-nin had managed to jump back to have time to shunshin out of the way.
"Wellll that was fail, we need to work on our capturing methods a little bit maybe some genjutsu would be nice or something, oh well let's keep moving Zabuza won't be battle ready for about a week and we need to get these two whipped into shape to help fight this time." The jinchuuriki said while sheathing his blade and dispelling the clones.
Kakashi nodded while covering his sharingan eye once more, "Alright guys let's move out, I want us at Tazuna's home before sunset."
"Roger that sensei" was the trio's reply once more.
The next morning after they had arrived and met Tazuna's daughter, Tsunami, Kakashi had woken Sasuke and Sakura and headed out to where he guessed Naruto was already training having gotten up already.
As the three arrived they saw Naruto facing off with a clone along the side of the tree at a perfect ninety degree angle, it was as if they were both on normal ground with the ease that they had when moving.
"Hey Naruto thanks for the demonstration of what I'll be teaching these two, I see you already got it covered to a pretty amazing level, so I think I'll be teaching you something different." Kakashi said once Naruto finished.
Sasuke just glared at Naruto for knowing things that he didn't, but then reasoned that since a clan less loser like him knew it, that it was beneath him. "Hn if Uzumaki here knows it, I, an Uchiha, shouldn't waste my time with such a pathetic technique, I demand you to teach me something better."
Kakashi and Naruto just looked at each other and sweat dropped, before Naruto spoke "What makes you think that you being an Uchiha makes you so special, shouldn't it be a bad thing that you're the only one of your clan left, I mean it must have been a pretty weak clan to have every single member but you killed in one night by a teenager."
Sasuke fumed and was about to charge when Naruto in a blur of speed was behind him with a kunai at his neck, "Ya know, I'm pretty sick of your attitude, all the civilians and a bunch of those civilian born shinobi may think that your hot stuff because of your name but you know what? Your name means absolutely nothing on a mission when people are willing to kill you, and it means even less to me, I don't give respect for your family, hell I don't even respect a single member of your family except Itachi who did us all a favor by killing those arrogant pricks who think they are all above us because they've had a leg up above most normal people."
Naruto silenced Sakura with a glare right when he assumed that she would try to interject and then continued "If you think that you can order me or Kakashi around like you just you tried to do you've got another thing coming, you need a major lesson in respect, and I'll be most delighted to teach. Now go concentrate chakra to your feet and climb up the tree and use a kunai to mark your progress, skedaddle.
Naruto promptly kicked him forward while tossing him the kunai, then he and Kakashi shunshined a distance away to practice.
"Well nice speech, and I probably would've done something similar if it was my style." Kakashi said while giving a thumbs up.
'More like too lazy' Naruto thought to himself.
Kakashi continued "Well I believe that you have a sufficient concept of teamwork, well more than Sasuke ever will, so I'll be teaching you a very special technique of mine, it's my only original jutsu that I created myself. It's called the ch…"
"Chidori" Naruto said simply.
"What how did you know?" kakashi asked his single visible eye raised.
"Well you're like a legend in root, and chidori is like your signature move and then there's your even more beastly move the raikiri. It wasn't that hard to figure out really." The root member replied.
"Well then I see you already have the basics of lightning manipulation down so this should be simple then, the hand signs are ox, rabbit, monkey, and…" Kakashi then went in depth of the concepts of the jutsu and then went to the drawbacks.
"There are two drawbacks to this technique, one is the large amount of chakra that is needed to perform it but that isn't really a problem for someone with your reserves, the second is the most vexing problem and that is the tunnel vision given with the technique. Because you are moving so fast its hard to see all the details such as an enemy counterattacking, that's why it's a perfect combination with the sharingan. So we'll see if we can find some way to work around it." Kakashi finished while in a thinking pose.
"Well it's a good thing I have the sharingan already then" Naruto replied while showing two sharingan eyes with three tomoes in each.
XxX
Ha! Cliffhanger, I wasn't originally planning on leaving it there but its too good to resist, when I first got the idea for Naruto using the chidori I forgot about the whole tunnel vision thing until I had already come up with tons of good ideas that I didn't want to go to waste so I just decided to give Naruto the sharingan don't worry all shall be explained in the next chapter. I will definitely be updating that one asap maybe tonight if I have enough time to get it all in. So everyone read and review please.
