A/n: I do not own anything except my OC.

Well, I got a few good reviews, and a bunch of new people are watching this story.

I'd like to say, thank you all who are watching this story.

Now on with the show:

Chapter 3: Natural Order

Kina yipped, "What are you doing here?!"

The upside-down cat looked back down, or up, at Kina. The cat jumped up, or was it down, from the ceiling and landed on the bed in front of Kina. The two animals stared at each other for a while before the cat spoke up in it's eerily deep voice.

"Hello, fox-chan. It's been, what, 3 centuries since we last met? I daresay, you haven't changed much."

"Yea, I like to keep my a long distance between me and your kind." Kina snarled.

Naruto sat on the ground, 'Is he just like Kina-chan? Is he a Bijuu?'

The cat looked back at him, "No, I'm not a Bijuu, Naurto-san. I do not have any yokou or chakra."

Surprise spread like wildfire on Naruto's face. "And to answer you're new question, yes, I can read your mind. It's like an open book to me really."

'And I can even send thoughts to your mind.' the cat somehow smiled. It creeped Naruto out to no end.

While he was creeped out, Kina barked up. "Now, can you tell me WHY you are here? Last time I heard, your bloodline was banished from the elemental countries."

"What's yokou exactly?" Naruto asked, after a thought.

Kina sighed, but didn't look away from the cat. "Yokou is what we bijuu are made of."

"Okay, that doesn't answer much." Naruto said.

"If you'll be quiet, I'll tell you!" Kina barked. Naruto tensed up, but stayed quiet. "We bijuu are really just a bunch of compressed energy and spirits. We don't have real bodies." The cat looked straight at Naruto, watching his reaction to this information. "And because of that, we can sometimes become unstable. I was lucky to never really become that till after the Uchiha tried that thing on me."

"So, why do you look and act like a fox? Hell, why do all the nine tailed nijuu look like a certain animal?"

"We just do. Every spirit on this planet has an affinity for certain things. My spirit just seem to have an affinity for foxes, fire, and lightning."

Naruto started pondering, but was interrupted by the cat making a cough noise.

"I would love to sit all night, and listen to you ramble, but I have a message for you from Yami-sama." it said. He lifted his paw up slightly, and a small scroll just appeared out of nowhere. Like it was meant to be there.

Naruto walked over to the cat, and picked up the scroll, he unfurled it, and Kina jumped on his shoulder.

To Kina-san,

As you may have found out, I have sent Nilrem to look after Naruto, and his training. Kina, I know it was dangerous bringing him here, and I am sorry for not asking you about it before hand. You know how hard it is to find one of his bloodline, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity.

Naruto, you are most likely reading this as well. Heed any and all advice from Nilrem, as he is a powerful ally. Just don't piss him off, and you'll get along nicely. Nilrem is centuries older then Kina, and is very wise... if cunning as well. Please be careful when making ANY promises with him.

I hope you and Kina are getting along nicely.

With Hope,

Yami Shigami.

Several thoughts were flying through Naruto's head. He looked up. "I take it, your name is Nilrem, correct?"

The cat nodded and said, "Yes, my name is Nilrem Gin."

"What do both Kina and Yami mean by 'bloodline?' Do you have something like a kekkei genkai?"

Nilrem just sighed, "As I said before, I don't have any chakra or yokou. What I do have is a lot of chi, or seishin, which is part of what makes up your chakra. I have more chi in my body then the amount of 3 Kinas combined in yokou. If you want to know how much chakra that is in comparison, it would take 6 kages to make up one fully powered nine-tailed Kina. Do you understand?"

Naruto looked dumbfounded. "So, what do you do with all that chi? Surely you can't use it in that form."

"I can use it in a chi form, but not the way you expect. My spiritual control is second only to 10 other people in the world. One of them being my room mate. Unfortunately, our bloodline can't use it normally, we need an activation trigger, which Kina knows about." he said as he looked at Kina, who looked surprised. "Yes, I know about the attempt that Shukaku did to try and replicate our process." Nilrem narrowed his eyes, and the room grew cold.

Naruto couldn't breathe. Don't get him wrong, he's felt killing intent(ki) before, but this makes jounin ki look like puppy cuddling. His body felt hollow, like there wasn't anything in his body. If he even moved an inch, he felt like he would crumble and fall apart. He was just another clay statue. The worst part was is that this wasn't even pointed at HIM. Kina was the center of attention for this ki.

"Don't ever let me catch you trying it either. You saw what happened to him, he grew crazy, and the LAST thing I need to do is take care of MORE of you crazy bijuu." The room grew warm again, and Nilrem looked at the blond. "So, gaki, I want to see how cunning you are tomorrow morning. 6 o'clock sharp, training ground 13. Don't be late." With that, he disappeared. Not in a poof of smoke, not in a blur. Just gone. Like he wasn't even meant to BE there.

Kina sighed, "we might as well get ready for bed. If I know him, he's going to run you ragged tomorrow morning."

Naruto numbly nodded, and got ready for bed.

BEEP BEEP BEE- SMASH! (If Naruto destroyed every alarm clock every day ever since he turned 6 years old, he will have destroyed 2254 alarm clocks by now.)

Naruto got up slowly, as it was 6 o'clock in the morning. He was never much of a morning person, and almost all the time-

BAM!

-he would run into a wall.

Kina, being a bijuu, was used to mornings, and would watch the morning show of Naruto trying to get morning stuff done. Everyonce in a while, the fox would set up traps in the 3 room apartment for Naruto to trip on. Kina had also learned that Naruto would never remembered what happened, so it was pretty much free reign on the fox-boy's butt.

This time, she set up a classic trap of hers.

Naruto walked toward the bathroom, when his foot tripped a wire. The wire then sprung a spring, and a pillow flew at the blond's face; effectively making the blond stumble backwards into another trap where he bumped into the wall, where a water bucket, full of cold water, was precariously placed above him.

"YYYEEEOOOOUCH!" The blond yelled, now fully awake. The water bucket fell on his head.

Needless to say, Kina was laughing so hard she was rolling all over the floor. And, as always, Naruto never figured out how a bucket of ice cold water landed on his head.

30 minutes of cursing later, Naruto and Kina head out the door.

At training ground 13, Naruto and Kina arrived with 5 minutes to spare before 6 o'clock. Naruto sat under a tree, and Kina laid down in his lap. Naruto petted Kina, while pondering what had happened last night.

"So, what is he?" Naruto finally asked.

"If by 'he' you mean Nilrem, if he hasn't told you yet, then I wont either. Nilrem was never really proud of becoming what he is now."

Kina looked down at the ground for a moment, then up at him. "Naruto, I don't know if I should tell you this, but I might as well. There are things out in the world that are far more powerful then me. Nilrem is of one of these great clans. I say clan, because there isn't another way to say it, but it's not really a clan. I guess you could call it more of a bunch of families, all originating from two sick minded people."

"Huh?"

Nilrem appeared at that moment. "My specific bloodline is the Silver Time line, if I translated it into your language."

"What do you mean, 'translated into your language'?" For as long as Naruto can remember, there has only been one language in the elemental countries.

Kina spoke up, "As I said before, the world doesn't revolve around the elemental countries. There are other dimensions, which SOME of your summons come from, and the other side of the world, which is unknown to this one. It isn't surprising that there would be different languages that people would speak and write in."

Nilrem, having enough talk for now said, "Alright lad. It's time to see if you can pull your own weight. I want you to through everything you've got at me."

"You know he wont hit you." Kina said.

"Which is why I'm telling him to throw everything at me." Nilrem said.

Naruto got up, and pressed his fingers into the cross sign. "KAGE BUSHIN NO JUTSU!"

Several Naruto's popped from puff of smoked, surrounding the lone cat. "But I didn't say I wouldn't fight back." the cat smirked.

A Naruto clone charged at the cat, while the rest watch to learn just what they were up against. Nilrem lifted one of his paws, and a single claw popped out. Nilrem then did a side flip, and tore a huge gash into the charging clone's stomach. The movement was so fast, that Naruto could barely see it.

Nilrem landed gracefully, as the clone popped out of existence. "Is that all you've got?" he asked.

"Not even close." Naruto said.

"Gaki," Kina said, "It might be a smart idea to deactivate the gravity seal."

Naruto nodded, and performed three hand signs. He felt a lot lighter, and felt more confident. A bunch of Naruto's then charged the cat. One performed a sliding kick, while 2 others were coming from the air to kick downwards. Two more were punching from opposite sides. Nilrem simply blinked, and then several wisps of what looked like a haze flew from the cat, and collided into all the Naruto clone's simultaneously. All of them popped out of exhistence. "Well, the boy knows how to plan his attacks, that's for sure." Naruto got pissed, and he made himself, and several clones go into fox form. With the gravity seal released, and in fox form, Naruto has never been caught.

'Please, be careful Naruto.' Kina thought to herself, worried.

All the silver foxes started running in circles around the cat. "My, my. I didn't know that the boy could become a full fox. Though it's a bit small."

6 foxes charged the cat, all zigzagging at high speeds around the cat, hoping to avoid the earlier attack. When they were 3 feet from Nilrem. The cat raised his paw, and it looked like he placed it against a solid wall. A silver fox had hit the newly formed wall around the cat, and crash landed into a nearby tree. When the other foxes saw that, they backed up. "Smart fox. Using your clones to go in first, and figure out what's going on."

The ground behind the cat suddenly broke, and a fox popped out of the ground. The fox's jaws were wide open, hoping to take the cat by biting into the neck.

Nilrem didn't even move, but the fox was stopped in midair. Nilrem turned around and looked into the fox's eyes. "You almost had me, you sly fox." a happy tune playing in the ears. The fox was gently put down on the ground. "Cunning, just like a fox should be. Thinking on his feet, and using the resources nearby to his advantage."

All the other foxes vanished except the one in front of Nilrem. The fox then turned into Naruto again. "Argh, I almost had you."

A chuckle could be heard from the cat, "You pass. You're obviously bright enough to learn a few techniques from me."

Kina came out from under the tree, "What could you possibly teach him?" she asked. "You don't know any chakra techniques, just your line's blood powered abilities."

"Ah, but one or more of my abilities can be changed into a chakra based one." the cat said with a know-it-all tone.

Naruto looked at the sun, "While it was great being beaten by a cat, I need to ge-"

"Go ahead, boy, I'll meet you after your training with Kurenai." Nilrem said.

Kina jumped on Naruto's shoulder, and they both went to training ground 8.

Nilrem chuckled, "Yes, that boy just might fulfill your prophecies, Kami-sama." Then he simply disappeared from sight.

XXXXXXXXXXX

"Hey, Kina," Naruto said as he jumped from tree to tree to get to training ground 8.

"Yes?"

"Why are you always so tense when we are near Nilrem?"

Kina sighed, "Is it really that noticeable?"

"Kinda."

"Well, to tell you the truth, there are things out there that scare even us bijuu."

"Huh?"

Kina hopped off of Naruto's shoulder, and began to tree jump along side him. "I'm saying, there are things so much more powerful then us bijuu, that we can't comprehend it."

"You can make tsunamis with a flick of your tail, what makes Nilrem so scary?"

"Yes, you are right. But then, you are wrong."

"Again, huh?"

"Take all the power of what I used in my tail to create said tsunami, and then focus into a point so small that even a needle point is bigger than it. That's what Nilrem can do with his power."

"So, what? He can focus his power, big deal."

Kina thought for a moment. "Okay, let's put this in a different perspective. Have you ever had a shot?"

Naruto shivered, "Yea."

"How much force was used to puncture your skin?"

"Not much."

"If you took a kunai, and placed the edge, not the tip, against your skin, would it go as deep as the needle?"

Naruto shook his head, "No, I don't think so." he got a comprehending look on his face. "So, with a smaller point of contact, the blade easily cuts into the skin, right?"

"Yea." Naruto nodded.

"Now think about what I said earlier. Nilrem's power being able to focus large amounts of power into a single point." Naruto's eyes widened.

"You're saying he can puncture any defense?" Naruto asked.

"Pretty much. The wall surrounding Konoha can be easily destroyed by Nilrem." Kina said. "Come on, we can talk about this later, we've only got 10 minutes to get to the training ground."

Hinata showed up early today. She couldn't wait to train with a certain blond. It was currently 6:55, but she showed up at 6:30. She had been watching the sun rise from under a tree.

"Hello, Hinata-san." Shino said as he walked into the clearing.

"Hello, S-Shino-san. How a-are things?"

"I am doing well, Hinata-san. Has Naruto-san showed up yet?"

"No," she looked kind of sad.

"Ah, don't worry. He's nothing like a certain silver haired cyclops."

XXXXXXXXXXX

A man holding an orange porno book was walking down the street. He stopped for a second, looked around. "Huh... for some reason, I think I want to kill a few bugs today."

XXXXXXXXXXX

"Y-you're right." Hinata said.

"I think it would be logical to do a few warm-ups before sensei arrives." Hinata nodded in agreement. She got up, and patted herself of dust and grass. They went out into the middle of the clearing.

Hinata did a few leg and arm stratches, while Shino did a few body ones.

After a few minutes of exercises, Naruto came running through the woods and into the clearing. "I'm not late, am I?" He asked, Kina on his shoulder.

"Not at all, Naruto-san." Shino said. "You should warm-up, too. We just got finished."

"Nah, I already did them." Naruto walked over to a nearby tree, and sat down to wait for their sensei. He didn't have to wait long, because Kurenai came in a few seconds after he sat down.

"Hello, team 8. Today we're having a little training exercise. You three are to land a hit on me from each of you."

"So, if I got this right, just one hit from each of us?"

"Yeap, but it's got to be simultaneously, even Kina has to land a hit on me."

"SAY WHAT!?" Naruto yelled.

"You have until noon to get me. Good luck." she made a small wave, and then jumped into the forest.

"Obviously," Shino started, "That this is a teamwork exercise, to see if we can work together."

"So, how do we go about this."

"I-I have a-a p-plan." Hinata started.

"Really?!" Naruto got close to her, "Come on tell us."

Hinata was starting to turn red.

"Naruto-san. I think you are making Hinata uncomfortable."

Naruto notice her shiver. "Oh, sorry about that, Hinata-chan."

"It's okay, Naruto-kun."

"So, what is this plan, Hinata-san?"

"Well..."

XXXXXXXXXXX

Kurenai was deep in the forest. Keeping her senses sharpened for the impending attack. 'I wonder what they're going to try. I made it seem like an exercise, so they might not take this seriously.'

She was jumping from tree to tree, when a kunai struck the tree in front of her. 'Shit!' Three more kunai came in her direction. She jumped backward to dodge the incomings. As soon as she landed, she saw even more kunai coming from the front. She jumped to her left, and the kunai passed harmlessly.

She pumped chakra into her feet, and sprang forward to get some distance. As soon as she took off, a net, fixated with kunai at the corners came flying at her. She twirled in the air to change her movement. She flew above the net, and landed on a tree.

"It's going to take more then kunai and nets to get me." she said aloud. She saw a hint of silver flash in front of her, as more kunai and shuriken headed toward her. This time from several angles. She jumped backward, as it was her only way out.

She as she landed on another tree, she felt several finger tips hit her back. She suddenly couldn't move, and fell forward. Several bugs caught her fall, and dropped her on the ground when she was close enough. Once she landed, all four of them landed a hit on Kurenai.

Naruto smiled, "We win, sensei."

Hinata was busy opened Kurenai's tenketsu. Once all of them were open, Kurenai stood up.

"Congratulations. You all pass the test."

"Huh?" Naruto said. "What test, we thought this was an exercise."

"Well, all jounins are required to give their team a test, to see if they are truly worthy of becoming ninja."

"But, we already passed the genin test."

"That test was only to weed out the ones that couldn't become a ninja, this one was to see if you could survive being one."

"Okay. So we passed?"

Kurenai smiled, "With flying colors. It's barely 11 o'clock, too. You three obviously can work as a team." She brushed herself off. "Meet us back here tomorrow at 7 am sharp for your first D rank mission. Other then that, you three are dismissed for the day." With that she disappeared in a bunch of leaves.

Naruto turned to his newly appointed teammates. "I've gotta go do something today, see you both tmorrow." He smiled and then ran back to the training ground he and Nilrem used earlier.

TBC...

Sorry it was so late guys, I promise it's not going to be this late again. I know I had a few mistakes with this one as well, and I even had to redo this chapter 3 times. So please forgive me if something doesn't add up.

Flamers will be destroyed.
