Chapter 2

Konoha

Namikaze Clan Compound

2:36 pm

It has been six and a half years since that faithful night when the fourth Hokage sealed the Kyuubi into his new born daughter Narumi. Naruto and Narumi are both 6 1/2 years old.

Narumi looks just like her mother did as a child, having long red hair that reaches her mid back, pale white skin that she got from her father and she has a round face like her mother. She usually wears a mesh under-shirt, with a spandex workout suit over it, an orange female shinobi outfit and finally the standard issue ninja sandals. (1)

Naruto has changed from what he first looked like as an infant, to the point some people had wondered if he was even Minato's son. His once spiky golden blond with crimson streaked hair had changed to pitch black with dark crimson, almost blood colored, highlights and instead of being spiky like his father's it laid down more(2). He had a good tan from being outside training or just walking in the forests around Konoha. He like his sister wears a mesh under-shirt, a black gi top and bottom that was made to be worn out with red lining, a gi belt that was black on red and standard issue ninja sandals.(3)

At the Uzumaki/Namikaze house there is a training area, in the backyard; Narumi is training to bring out her chakra for the first time. "Tou-san I did it!" Narumi happily shouted as she jumped up and down. "I did it, I did it!" she repeated again.

"That's great dear." Minato says. Minato was a 35 some year old male with spiky pale golden blond hair, light white skin tone and a muscular build. His outfit has not changed much in the last six years. He wears the Jonin flak jacket, a sleeveless navy blue turtle neck with black arm warmers held on by bands, he has on ninja pants with a hip pouch for kunai and he has his ankles bandaged with shinobi sandals on.

Narumi smiles even wider than before and asked in an excited voice, "What is the next step Tou-san?"

He can only chuckle as his daughter acts like the little kid she is. "The next step would be to see how long you can use your chakra and then how much chakra control training you need to do."

A pout slowly grow on her face as she asks, "Aww come on Tou-san can't you teach me a strong fighting style or maybe a fire jutsu?"

Kushina who had been inside during this heard what was said and walked outside. As she joined in on the conversation she gained a confused look when she heard this, "Dear you know you can't do those yet, you're too young." she said in a placating manner to calm her overactive daughter down before she could start complaining, "Even with your bloodline activated, which has allowed you to start training your body, you are still too young and wouldn't be able to take the strain of the training you're asking for." Kushina said in a motherly but firm tone.

Kushina was a goddess in human form. She had a slender, but feminine build, fair skin, violet-blue eyes, bright red hair that reached her ankles, with strands that framed both sides of her face and a yellow clip that parts her hair to the left. She had large D bordering on DD cup breast; she has a thin waist and hips just the right size, along with a perfect ass. She usually wears a high-collared, sleeveless loose-fitting dress with a green apron over it, a black band on her left wrist and standard shinobi sandals. She had what appeared to have stopped aging and look 28 thanks to her bloodline, and though it could not be helped it had caused some minor fights between her and Minato because while she looked young he kept looked older each year.

Minato hears the threat and laughs nervously, "I was just about to say the same thing to her." He says while lying through his teeth.

"Hmmm . . . that's what I thought you were going to say." She then switches back to a happy mode and asks if anyone has seen Naruto. She frowns when both look at her and shake their heads no.

Path to Rebirth

(5 mins earlier)

Naruto was watching his family interact with each other. He had hidden himself in a clearing in the woods in such a way that while he could see everything that was happening in the training area, his family could not see him. Naruto had asked on many occasions if his Kaa-san or Tou-san would train him with Narumi. He thought it was fair but he didn't understand why Minato always said that they had to train his sister because she was special while he wasn't ready. His mother though said he didn't need to worry because when they reach the right age she would start training him along with Narumi when she felt they were both ready.

It was this lack of caring for his son in the most basic of areas for a ninja that started to split the family apart with Minato and Narumi on one side and Naruto on the other with Kushina in the middle having to play peace keeper. This is what really forced Naruto to only care for his mother.

It wasn't till a few months ago that Hiruzen started training him, without his parents' knowledge. Naruto and Hiruzen-sensei had agreed to keep everything under wraps. Even now he was training with a kage level chakra control exercise, something that Hiruzen call the enlightenment jutsu to understand his chakra on a level that only a few shinobi of the strongest caliber had been able accomplish. Even though few knew about the training exercise, fewer knew that one had to be well in tuned with their chakra to be able to accomplish this feat. It was for that reason that Hiruzen had made him do nothing but chakra exercises for three months, his training really picked up when he learned the kage bushin no jutsu and was able to make up to five clones from the start. From what Sarutobi said he was getting closer and would master the enlightenment exercise soon.

He stopped his exercise when he heard his mother ask Narumi and Minato his whereabouts. He couldn't help but sigh as he had to deal with his mostly annoying family again, "I'm here Kaa-san what do you need?" he asked with a smile on his face, but it was hard to tell if he was truly happy with the calm but cold childlike voice of his. This was one of the only things that upset Kushina about her son was the fact that she couldn't tell if her child was happy.

"Oh there you are. You keep popping up when I least expect it." Kushina said as she put a hand to her chest, taking a calming breath after she yelped in surprise at the fact that he was able to sneak up behind her. It didn't help that Narumi jump and screamed at his sudden appearance.

"Where did you come from Nii-chan, don't scare me like that." Narumi said in a loud voice.

Naruto took a quick glance at her but then ignored her as he looked up at Kushina again and politely asked, "What do you need Kaa-san?"

While she was sad that her children did not get along, she knew ultimately it was her and Minato's faults, so she replied, "Hiruzen is expecting you this evening for your regular talks. You need to hurry up or you'll be late Sochi."

Naruto's eyes widen, "I must have been too focused with the meditation." He looked at her thankfully, "Thank you." he said in a grateful voice because he truly had forgotten what time it was. "I need to be going. See you later."

Path to Rebirth

As Naruto was roof hopping to the Sarutobi compound he couldn't help but think about what had happened to lead him to being trained by the ninja called the Professor that knew more than any other single shinobi, a man that was called the God of Shinobi a title only given to one other man because he was so powerful.

(Flashback 3 months)

Naruto had finally gotten tired of being ignored by his father for training, so he decided to train himself. It started out with him taking scrolls and books out of the family library but even with him being a genius by anyone's standards he was still a six year old boy and without someone to train him he could hardly understand much less do any of the complicated Jutsu that he was reading. So he started going to the shinobi and civilian libraries so he could work his way up. He knew that it didn't have much in the selection of choice in these libraries because they were meant for clan-less shinobi that needed help.

It was during the two months it took him to reach a 5 level journeymen status in Fūinjutsu that he learned to love Genjutsu. It was here that he fully understood that besides basic strength building excises and Fūinjutsu training Genjutsu was the only other skill he could learn without hurting himself in the long run. He learned fast and in his opinion it was the strongest chakra based skill besides Fūinjutsu for a real shinobi. Currently inside the village only the Uchiha and the Kurama clans were naturally good at genjutsu, with the Kurama clan giving birth to a member every few generations that had the ability to make other inflect pain onto themselves through genjutsu thanks to the demon Ido.

There was one person that excelled at genjutsu that was not from a clan and her name was Kurenai Yuhi. She was a master at 'set' genjutsu and an expert in 'freeform'. Some say that she was a genius at genjutsu not seen in a long time.

For the next month he had taken a passion for sealing and illusions equally, contributing it to his mother's side of the family on both accounts. While he knew that Fūinjutsu could do just about anything he needed somebody to learn from to progress to a better understanding of the art to continue on his own, he wanted his mother to teach him but she said she would start teaching him once he was eight. It was the same with genjutsu without someone to teach him he couldn't learn the complexity that genjutsu had without taking an even longer time to master it himself, but he did know one thing genjutsu took control so he did exercises while learning what he could form the shinobi library.

But even with the strength of these arts he need diversify. That's where his current dilemma came from. While his parents had many scrolls most were still on a level where he would need a teacher to further his training. Any of their personal jutsu that he might be able to learn on his own were safely locked up in vaults, secured by some of the strongest seals made outside of the Uzumaki clan, so no one could get to them.

One day Naruto came up with an idea, "The only other place I could get high ranked jutsu to control though dangerous would be the Hokage' library in the tower." Naruto thought contemplating sneaking into one of the highest security buildings in Konoha. After a few hours of thinking about what to do he gained the resolve that a six year old shouldn't have.

Path to Rebirth

That night

1:26 am

As night fell Naruto made his way into the heart of Konoha to the tower and used his barely trained sensor abilities to see where the guards were. He found that the only ones on the outside of the building were the ones at the front door and at the back entrance. They were only chunin level shinobi at the most.

He knew using any chakra would get him caught so he quietly scaled up the side of a neighboring building by using Kunai and jamming them into wall to use as hand holds. When he was sure that there was no other shinobi patrolling the area he took a running start before adding the barest amount of chakra to his legs and jumped over the wall that protect the tower from outside treats.

As he was falling he tucked himself into a ball so that as he hit the ground with as little force or noise as possible so as not to alert the guards. He rested for a few seconds to catch his breath and thought, "Ok first step done. Now I need to get into the tower. It would be bad to go in through the top just in case they have more ninja stationed there, I could try the scaling the building till I get to a walkway, then go from there. Yes, that is the best option."

His mind made up he found one of the few pipes on the outside of the building and started climbing. When he reached the end of the pipe he was a few feet below a landing. Naruto easily jumped the last five feet where he grabbed hold of the rail and pulled himself up over the edge. Once he was safely on the landing he went to the door and found it locked with a standard issue chamber that was easy to pick if you had at least some skill. Once he picked the lock, he ran down the empty halls of the tower wondering if the village was really this arrogant to leave the seat of power in Konoha unprotected.

As he arrived on the floor of the library he heard people coming down the hall and raised voices. Thinking quickly he jumped on the wall attaching himself to the ceiling where he suppressed his chakra to his lowest level. As he hid in the shadows provided by the ceiling, he watched as two people came around the corner. One was Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other an ANBU, "I'm telling you I heard something down here Sarutobi-sama."

Hiruzen was silent for what felt like forever to Naruto, and then finally he said, "Leave it alone. Can't you feel that no one is even here?" Hiruzen was an old man in his 60's with dark tan skin, white gray hair, and liver spots on his face. He wore the Hokage cloak, but underneath he was wearing full body armor like he was all the time. When asked why he did he would always say, "Better to be ready for anything than nothing."

"Yes sir. I will report back to guarding your office." the ANBU said in an emotionless voice that had the tinniest hints of shame that he brought the older male when he didn't need to.

When both solider and old commander left, Naruto waited for a few more minutes before falling down from the ceiling and started making his way to the Hokage's Library.

There it was the Fūin no Sho (Scroll of Seals). Naruto had heard about it from passing when his parents talked about jutsu that were too dangerous they were put in it. Because of this the scroll had jutsu the Hokages past and present had forbidden, either for the casters safety or for personal reasons it had to be protected.

He knew that he wouldn't have much time to look at the scroll without the risk of being caught so he brought a scroll to copy jutsu into. As he opened it, the first jutsu happened to be kage bunshin no jutsu. As he read the description he saw the jutsu for what it was really worth and copied it down. While going through the scroll the only other jutsu that he found interesting were Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei, which allowed one to bring back the dead. The others while strong in their own right were jutsu that only the Hokage that made them could really perform. Before he could write any more than the kage bunshin no jutsu down, he felt a hand on his shoulder and jumped into the air a good four feet.

2:09 am

Hiruzen was watching the whole event play out. He was really impressed that Minato's boy could get this far without being caught, as he tried to steal classified secrets that were meant to be guarded by the Hokage themselves which is why he was in charge of the jutsu library till he wanted to retire. "Well it's about time I put a stop to this and find out why the hell he even tried doing something so stupid." He thought.

He walked out of the shadows that he had been hiding in and walked silently behind Naruto. As he put his hand on the boys shoulder he said out loud, "So you mind telling me what you're doing?" And just like that Naruto was the perfect impression of a solid stone statue before he jumped.

Seeing this Hiruzen couldn't help but laugh. "Come with me to my office so we can discuss what has happened here tonight over some tea." Naruto could do nothing but nod his head and accept any punishment that was given to him, knowing there was no way out of this for him.

Path to Rebirth

Hiruzen's personal office

2:14 am

As Naruto and Hiruzen sat down and drank their tea each was thinking about the best thing to say next. The old monkey decided to start, "So tell me why you were doing something that would give me the right to kill you or anyone else in the same position?"

Naruto was quiet for a long time thinking about what to say till he decided to tell the truth, "For the last three months I have been training myself because my parents won't train me. Well more like my Tou-san wouldn't train me my Kaa-san hasn't started training either me or Narumi, because she says we're too young for her king of jutsu"

Naruto paused and thought before continuing, "I knew I wouldn't get any further without a teacher so I came here tonight to find some new jutsu to study and learn because I'm teaching myself."

Hiruzen had a thoughtful look on his face as he remembered the promise he made to train the boy if his parents didn't, "It wouldn't be a bad idea to train him. He was able to get in here undetected means he has at least Jonin level in stealth and evasion, and from the way he's talking he sounds like he at least knows the basics of all the basic three shinobi arts. I need to find out his skill level soon. He has a lot of potential, he may even be the next Kami no Shinobi." He smiled at the thought of passing on his legacy.

Hiruzen looked to Naruto for a few seconds before he asked, "You said that you wouldn't have stolen from the Hokages library if you had a teacher to teach you. Am I right?"

With a bewildered look on his face at the random question, Naruto could only nod his head unsure where this was leading.

"Well how about I teach you?" and as he said this poor Naruto was in an even bigger case of shock.

"I would be honored to have you as a teacher." said Naruto, showing true happiness for the first time in many months to a person besides his mother. "But why would you want to train me. I thought I would be in trouble or at the very least not get a teacher till I was in the academy?"

"Well if you think you should be punished, I will train you twice as hard, till you could beat my students at the same time in their prime." said Hiruzen in a faux serious voice that didn't work that well with the kind hearted smile on his face.

Naruto couldn't have hoped for a better outcome than to be trained by one of if not the strongest ninja in at least three different generations. He couldn't repeat himself, "I would be honored to be trained by you."

"Naruto I need to know what level you are with your training at this time. So I know where to go from here." Hiruzen asked.

"Hmm well I have been doing some basic physical exercises to get my strength up for when I start my taijutsu training. I think I'm at a genin level of genjutsu maybe higher just because I have only tested it on civilians. I haven't tried ninjutsu because I don't know my element yet. The only other area I have any knowledge is fūinjutsu and from the seals I have been able to do I'm at a level 5 journeyman." Naruto finished explaining his skills to his new sensei.

"Hmm his fūinjutsu is extraordinary for his age even for an Uzumaki's growth when it comes to seals. And with the Uzumaki bloodline unlocked he would be able to train without any lasting damage, not to mention that he says he is at least as good as a genin in genjutsu. Probably doesn't know that to be even that good a genjutsu at this age is would mean his brain was already highly developed, he might be good at different type of mind arts like the Yamanaka clan." Hiruzen thought on Naruto's skills for a little while before asking the boy a question.

"Would you do anything I told you to do to become strong no matter how challenging the task may be?" the old man asks to see how strong the boys "will of fire" was so to speak.

"Yes I have the will to take on anything you throw at me." Naruto said with conviction in his voice.

Hiruzen looked at Naruto before saying, "Naruto I need to make something clear to you that I had to find out the hard way in life. The "will of fire" doesn't mean protect this village and your friends and you will be strong, it doesn't even mean work as a team to be strong. It is the will power people have to do what they dream of."

When he saw how hesitant Naruto was on the concept he decided on a more direct approach with telling him, "What most people want to forget is that past all the kind eyes, the kind words, and the kind act that the Senju did, the Senju clan who were once called the kindest clan in all the nations were still shinobi. They still killed others for what they thought was right. The will of fire in its truest meaning is to have to a will strong enough to do anything you must for what you think of as right."

Naruto sat there thinking about what his new sensei said, "I can understand that. When I heard my parents or other adults say things like only the good and noble are strong, I couldn't help but think about the "bad guys" like Madara Uchiha who abandoned his clan. He was said to be evil yet he was nearly as strong as Hashirama, both of which could destroy entire villages with a few well-placed jutsu."

"Good you understand it then, Naruto you must know I tell you this not to hurt your trust in the village but because you need to understand how the world is run, by the people with power and usually they are the ones with the strongest wills. Simply put Naruto if you want to make a world that better than this one you will have to fight for it, and you can't let morality stop you." Hiruzen said.

It was at this moment that Naruto knew he could not be an idealist like his father or the other Hokages had been, believing that people were ultimately good. But as he thought about the people in the village he knew deep down that people were bad and rotten inside, there were some exceptions like always but too few to even matter.

"Good then starting tomorrow we will start your training. Come to my clan compound at 10:30 am. From now on I don't want you sneaking around the tower to get scrolls you have my permission to use the library here to better yourself." Naruto gained a look as if he was allowed to play forever in his personal toy store.

Then Naruto looked confused about something before asking, "Hiruzen-sensei if the Hokage is supposed to keep track of the library then why are YOU doing it?"

Hiruzen was actually surprised that he was perceptive enough to pick up on that, "Well Naruto-chan once you become Hokage you hold that position until the day you die. So when I gave the hat over to your father he took all the work from me, but when the Kyuubi attacked there was simply too much to do for him so I came back and we split the work load to give him some room to do what needed to be done. After a while it just kind of stayed this way and I'm working till I want to stop. It just so happens that some of the things I'm tasked with are village internal security and keeping watch over the library and the archives." As he answered he saw Naruto nodding head in understanding.

"Now why don't you give me what you copied down from the scroll so I can see what you can use?" Hiruzen asked his hand out stretched.

Naruto gave him the scroll but said, "I only had time to copy the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu and look through the rest."

"Hmm well the kage bunshin is perfect for you as it was made by the Uzumaki Clan. What else interested you Naruto-chan?" He asked

"Well the Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei did. Imagine being able to bringing back pass shinobi and having them teach you things they knew." Naruto said.

"Naruto you do know the conditions for that jutsu right?" Hiruzen asked worried that they might have another Orochimaru in the making.

"I do but I think it's really useful and if I couldn't use it safely I still think I could make the jutsu better for others to use. Even if I couldn't do that I could always make other jutsu and seals from it using the knowledge in its design." said Naruto.

"Make it better how?" Hiruzen asks truly curious now by this proclamation.

"I mean like taking away the human sacrifice part." clarified Naruto.

"Hmm ok but if anything goes wrong remember to let me know and I will be able to help you." Hiruzen said.

"Ok sensei, what will we be doing first?" ask Naruto.

"Ok the main thing I will train you in for the time being will be chakra growth and control, because we need to make sure you can do the jutsu I teach you in the future. I will also train you physically and psychologically as well as the basics that all true shinobi should know. After we have gotten your chakra in both control and size to a level which I find acceptable we will start teaching you Genjutsu and Ninjutsu mainly with other things, while we train you in some Taijutsu and wait till your older to start training you seriously in it." Hiruzen finished listing. "Now about telling your parents don't, this training will be secret. We can say you're coming to me to learn about history and calligraphy, which you will be learning from me by the way."

"Yes sir. I will be ready tomorrow to start training." Naruto said happily.

"Good now go home and get some sleep." Hiruzen ordered.

Path to Rebirth

Hiruzen did not disappoint Naruto when it came to his training. He was a slave driver but he got done what needed to be done.

The first thing he had asked Naruto was what control exercise he had trained in, for his part he was confused and replied, "What do you mean? I have been doing a meditation where I feel where my chakra paths are so I can learn to control the way my chakra moves."

"Uh . . . Naruto that is an exercise that Jonin usually use because their chakra stores are too large to control with basic control training. But the up side to it is that the chakra that you learn to control this way will be under control a lot longer than other methods as long as there is no serious jump in chakra. But you want be doing that one for now I want you to use your chakra to climb this tree with your feet."

During that week he did nothing but tree walking and physical exercises not because it took him that long but because Hiruzen want him to know all the ways he could use this skill.

About a week into training Naruto asked if there was a way to suppress or disrupt his chakra so that he could train his control to a whole new level. The old monkey had the perfect seal for both; it was a variant on the seal called Gogyō Fūin; it was made to disrupt chakra like how the Gogyō Fūin did with Jinchūriki demon chakra. It had the added benefit to suppress chakra which was why it was implemented in Konoha prison; it was taught to him by Mito while she had been alive though she never named it.

With it Naruto could place it on himself to disrupt his control so that while he trained it would be like training from scratch but the benefit was when released his control and supply would skyrocket. He could keep placing it on himself over and over again to gain both larger chakra stores but a perfect chakra control the likes of which only someone on Tsunade's level would be able to understand.

But his training really progressed when Hiruzen said that he had enough chakra to use the shadow clones. And as so as he learned the technique his training went by fast. The next exercise Hiruzen made him do was the water waking skill. The second week Naruto did nothing but water walking and drills during this time also. Half way through the week Hiruzen started teaching Naruto the academy jutsu and their uses in battle, that many ninja in the last two generations had turned away from thinking them useless.

As time went on Hiruzen went on to teach him other control exercises like the leaf balancing that taught how to split ones focus and how to use different amounts of chakra in different areas of the body, he was also taught the upgraded version kunai balancing, this gave you an edge in battle if you used it the right way. Another one was chakra balancing where the user learns to keep themselves balance with the charka in one's body; Hiruzen had Naruto train in this till it was subconscious that he was even doing it any more. One of the last exercises he was taught was point control, it was like kunai balancing but more precise in that it taught someone that instead of using chakra to cover the entire foot to walk on walls one only had to use chakra from one point to get the job done at lower the cost.

After the two months of constant training with clones Hiruzen had finally given him his last control exercise. He warned Naruto that it could be dangerous. He called it the enlightenment control and said it would give him an understanding and control to his chakra that few had.

(end flashback)

Naruto arrived at the training ground where Hiruzen was waiting. Hiruzen looked up and said, "Naruto I want you to get into the meditative position and do your best to complete the enlightenment chakra control exercise today."

Naruto nodded to his teacher and sat on the ground; he then crossed his legs and put a hand on each knee. He took deep calming breaths at first then slow shallow breaths as the world around him faded away and he concentrated totally on himself, when this happened he arrived in his mindscape he was confused, he decided to ask sensei later as he continued. Then finally even he was gone the only thing left was his chakra.

Once he was finally in the right stage of mind he first called forth his chakra; he then spread it out over his entire being keeping it from escaping his body. Once this step was complete he made his chakra go through his entire body, in every cell in himself. For a brief moment Naruto saw everything that his body could do and everything he was capable of. In that one instant Naruto had become one with himself, but the strain on his young mind was too much to handle so he passed out.

Hiruzen saw the whole thing and couldn't help but be proud that his student completed what so few had ever done or would ever do. "I'll let him rest today. Once he wakes up we need to see if anything is wrong with him."

Done

Okay now to explain a few things

1 was Kushina's outfit as a kid.

2 was Naruto's hair style can be found on my homepage.

3 just think the Ame orphans training cloths but red instead of green.

I want to say this now the meditation tech Naruto performed was the closest thing to what the Buddha realign calls enlightenment. I decided to take out the bloodline activation jutsu because he doesn't need it in the story.

Ok as you all know review, add to watch and fav.
