What if Naruto had a hidden power that came to be when he fought Mizuki, a bloodline he never knew of? Then he would be known as the Kaze no Arashi, the Wind Storm!

Chapter 23:
The Training Begins: The Search for Tsunade and Naruto's New Technique!
"I, the Gallant Jiraiya, this epitome of manliness; I will not fall for any women's wicked, lusty looks! When you become someone like me, you'll only have to look at a woman for them to fall to their knees!" Jiraiya proclaimed to them only for Naruto to point a finger at his teacher and had an angry expression on his face.
"Oh yeah? That lady just winked at you and you raced after her like she was a dog in heat! And, now, you think by trying to act all cool and classy with enemy that they'll be intimidated, you perverted sennin!" Naruto yelled at his sensei, still pointing his finger.
"Hey! Can you stop calling me that in front of people!" Jiraiya yelled at his pupil.
"We should be paying attention to those two weirdos over there, not complaining about me calling you perverted hermit, you perverted hermit!" Naruto yelled as Jiraiya got angrier.
"Hey, you said it again! Quit calling me that!" Jiraiya yelled at Naruto as Kisame laughed softly and grinned at the two and Itachi just stared at Jiraiya.
"So, you're the great Jiraiya, one of the Three Legendary Sannin, eh? You like beautiful women, but we weren't thinking that something simple like that would successfully stall you anyway… It seems you canceled the genjutsu on the women as well…"
Jiraiya sat the women down as he began to speak. "In order to draw me away, you used the Sharingan to cast a genjutsu on the women. Not a manly way of doing things in my opinion."
Naruto was shocked. Why would they want to draw the pervert away…?
Jiraiya looked fiercely at Itachi and Kisame. "So, you are after Naruto after all…"
Naruto looked stunned, shocked and Sasuke, lying on the ground, was confused.
Itachi looked at Jiraiya calmly. "No wonder Kakashi knew about the Akatsuki… You were the one who told him about us… To abduct Naruto… is the orders given by the leader of our organization, Akatsuki…"
Naruto still stood shocked and speechless as the toad disappeared and Jiraiya glared at KItachi and Kisame. "You won't get Naruto…"
Itachi looked at Jiraiya, calm as always. "And why not?"
"Because you two will die by my hands… right here, right now!" Jiraiya was about to go into action when a voice came through.
"Don't do it." Jiraiya and Naruto looked to see Sasuke, up from the ground and speaking fiercely and darkly. "This guy is mine!" Even though Sasuke was speaking sharply, he was shaking from being beaten by Itachi earlier.
"I have no interest in you at all right now…" Itachi spoke, barely looking at his brother before kicking him into the wall of the hotel.
"Sasuke!" Naruto screamed out Sasuke's name seeing him slump near the wall. "You bastards!" Naruto started to charge at Itachi and Kisame.
"Naruto!" Sasuke yelled at Naruto. "It told you don't do it!"
Naruto stood still as Itachi looked at Sasuke's arm.
The seal is unraveling…
"This fight is mine!" Sasuke yelled as he started to rise up again and Itachi went up to him. "Come on!" Itachi punched and, then, kicked Sasuke in the gut, causing Sasuke to spit some of his crimson life onto the floor, feeling the same as before. He still felt like he had not grown at all since the night Itachi massacred his clan… killed them all except him.
Revenge, huh… Jiraiya thought as he saw Sasuke try to beat up Itachi who just put his hand around the boy's neck and shoved him into the wall. Blood still came out of Sasuke's mouth in balls like spit that made microscopic puddles on the hotel floor.
Kisame still had a smile on his face. "No mercy at all…"
Naruto growled at seeing Sasuke getting whooped by Itachi, angry that even if he tried to do anything, Kisame could take his chakra away. Sasuke kept wondering what had he been doing all this time as Itachi pulled him into Tsukuyomi, making him relive the day he lost everything. Sasuke screamed in pain as Kisame chastised his partner.
"Itachi, I advise you to not use your eyes that many times in a single day…"
Naruto glared fiercely and , then, rushed at them. "You assholes!"
Jiraiya quickly went through handsigns as Kisame went after Naruto. Everyone was shocked as the floors turned squishy and slimier. Sasuke was pulled into an opening in the now slimy wall as Jiraiya grinned.
"Welcome, Uchiha Itachi, Hoshigaki Kisame, to the belly of the beast!"
Itachi looked at Sasuke and whispered this into his ear. "You still don't hold enough… hate…"
"A technique that allows me to summon the esophagus of the giant toad, so have fun in the stomach of Iwagama, you wanted criminals!" Jiraiya spoke as Naruto relaxed, now knowing it was Jiraiya's jutsu at work and that he would be alright.
"Kisame, come." Itachi raced off as Kisame had trouble getting his Samehada from the sticky esophagus of the toad.
"Damn it, crap," Kisame said, pulling the sword out and rushing toward Itachi, following him.
Jiraiya fiercely grinned, his hands on the floor. "No one escapes without my awareness from here!"
Kisame was shocked. The walls of flesh are closing in!
Itachi closed his eyes as Kisame looked like they were done for.
Amaterasu!
Black flames tore through the wall of flesh as they retreated, causing Jiraiya to be shocked at how they escaped his technique.
"Was it necessary for you to retreat?" Kisame asked.
"There is no need to be hasty…," Itachi spoke as he breathed heavily. "Plus my body needs to be rested for a while. After all, not only did I use Tsukuyomi, but Amaterasu as well." Itachi's eyes were no longer Sharingan; they were black coal eyes.
Naruto looked at the flames, "Those are flames, but they are black…"
Uchiha Itachi… What did he do to produce these black flames? They were strong enough to scorch Iwagama's flesh and allow the two to escape.
Jiraiya pulled out a scroll, wrote some calligraphy on it that Naruto didn't recognize and did a series of handsigns. "Sealing Technique: Fire Seal!" The black flames went into the scroll and Jiraiya closed the scroll tightly, making sure it was sealed up. "Why don't you check up on your friend, Naruto?"
Naruto raced to Sasuke, who slipped from the wall and was eased down by Naruto as Jiraiya stomped his foot to stop the jutsu. Naruto looked into Sasuke's eyes, dream-like and almost lifeless. Naruto and Jiraiya were shocked when a kunai rushed past them and a shadow appeared behind them, rushing forward at them.
"Dynamic Entry!" Gai said as he kicked right into Jiraiya, who stared confused at him, "Gai?"
Then, Gai's foot met Jiraiya's face in a not so friendly way, making Jiraiya glare at Gai, who was shocked in horror at who he really kicked.
"Sorry about that… I was in a rush with using my headband as a mirror and I didn't have a clear picture… All I saw was two shadows, so I hit you by accident…" Gai laughed lightly as Jiraiya looked at him, calmer.
"Don't worry about that; Sasuke needs to go to the hospital. He seems to have a fractured rib. For some reason, a jutsu from Itachi's Sharingan got Sasuke to lose all his senses." Jiraiya said as Gai noticed Kakashi was in the same situation.
Naruto's palms got stabbed by his fingernails as his hands were fierce fists. "Why did that bastard to that to Sasuke?" Naruto was furious, the whole thing with Sasuke being beaten up coming to his mind. "I want that bastard to be mine! I'll kill that fucking asshole if it's the last thing I do!"
"If you're going to do that, we'll have to get to training, Naruto. That guy you speak of is on a whole other level compared to you." Jiraiya spoke as Naruto looked at him fiercely.
"Then, let's get to training then!"
Jiraiya looked at Naruto fiercely. "Calm down a moment!" He, then, smiled calmly at Naruto. "Then, we can get to training."
"Kakashi is in the same state as Sasuke." Gai said as this got Naruto's attention.
"Kakashi-sensei!"
"Then, we'll have to go after her like I planned to do."
Jiraiya's words got Gai's attention. "You mean…"
"She's one of the Sannin like me, the one that can cure these two of their illness. She wears the word 'Bet' on her back. She's Princess Tsunade!"

"Aiee, Tsunade-sama, why are you doing this?" Shizune asked, her short black hair darting across her forehead.
"With this," Tsunade said, pointing to the suitcase full of money, a triumphant grin on her face as her pigtails waved as she moved, "I'll take back all my losses!"
XXX
Gai held Sasuke on his back as he waved bye to Naruto and Jiraiya and raced off to Konohagakure after giving Naruto a green jumpsuit.
"Just throw that thing away," Jiraiya demanded as Naruto merely frowned.
"I don't want to wear it anyway…" Jiraiya smiled at Naruto's words as they want on their way to the next town. "It isn't orange…"
Jiraiya face faulted at what Naruto said, but he quickly rebounded and walked on with his student, ready to find Tsunade.
"Pervy Sage…" Jiraiya looked to see Naruto, looking down at his stomach, his hand there. "They want me for the Nine Tails, don't they?"
"How did you know that, Naruto?"
"I'm thinking a lot more since I've been training; I'm not the dead last anymore! I heard that shark guy talk about Nine Tails and that's when I put the pieces together when they spoke of taking me away. This Akatsuki is after me, right? But why do they want such a dangerous demon?"
Jiraiya looked at Naruto, "Honestly, I don't know, Naruto; all I believe they want to somehow harness the Kyuubi's power, its chakra for its own gain. It's your destiny to be chased by these guy, but you'll have me to protect-"
"Then, like I said earlier, let's get to training!" Naruto smiled at his sensei, who chuckled back. "So, let's find this Tsunade person and, then, I can train!" Naruto paused catching Jiraiya's attention fast. "By the way, who is this Tsunade?"
"She's one of the Sannin like me! I said that earlier!" Jiraiya said.
"How old is she?"
"My age!"
She's old then… "What's she like?"
"She's a gambler, and well known in many countries."
"She must be famous then."
"She is famous. In fact, she's known as the Legendary Sucker! Even though she is famous, she'll be hard to find. She uses this technique to change her appearance; she could be from ten to thirty years old look wise. She may love to gamble, but she has no skill or luck to win at it. She uses that technique to hide from people she's in debt to until she's paid them off."
"Then, how will we find her if she can hide her appearance?"
"Well, we'll just have to collect information as we got by foot on this trip, but for right now, this trip will be all about you."
"About me?"
"Yeah, about you, about powering you up. Time to train!"
Naruto grinned happily. "Yeah! Let's get to this training!"
"Alright," Jiraiya said as he looked at Naruto, seeing there was a town nearby, "we'll do the first part of your training here."
"What kind of training, Perverted Hermit!" Naruto asked, enthusiastically.
Jiraiya smiled, "Training on your Wind Element to give you a jutsu not even your father could complete, the Wind Style: Rasengan!"

"Where are we going, Lord Orochimaru?" Kabuto asked as they walked.
"We are heading to the one person that can heal my arms, my former teammate, Tsunade…" Orochimaru said. "I heard that she is near Tanzaku Town… I better get going before she disappears again..."
"Do you think she'll agree?"
Orochimaru chuckled, "She'll have to agree. I know all of her weaknesses after all."
They went off toward Tsunade, ready to heal Orochimaru's arms.

"I already how to control the wind nature in my chakra though, you know that, Perveted Hermit!" Naruto said to his sensei.
"Yes, but that's because of you kekkai genkai." Jiraiya spoke as he pulled a leaf from a tree and looked at Naruto. "In order for you to get stronger, I want you to strength your wind nature chakra without using your kekkai genkai. Put those seals that block your kekkai genkai on." Naruto did just that and Jiraiya handed him the leaf he held.
"What do you want me to do with this leaf?" Naruto asked as Jiraiya looked at him.
"Normally, I would have you do this by yourself, but you have to use a bunch of clones to train."
"Why clones?"
"Shadow Clones are special; when they disappear, you learn from whatever they remember. Good thing you have a lot of chakra, because I think only you would be able to use this unorthodox method. Use your clones to help cut the leaf with your wind chakra. You'll each have a leaf to cut."
"Alright," Naruto said, clones appearing around him and each grabbed a leaf, "let's get started!"
"Yeah!" the clones exclaimed, getting to the training.
Jiraiya chuckled at his enthusiasm, "I'm going into town to get information on Tsunade. You train here for a while."
Naruto had a microscope cut on his leaf while the other clones were starting. "Alright, Pervy Sage!"

Tsunade was at a slot machine, looking questionably at the screen. Shizune was celebrating as Ton-Ton squealed in happiness. Tsunade bit her lip as she decided to leave as this place was giving her the creeps.
In that slot machine's glass were three sevens…
XXX
Jiraiya hit one of the pub-looking joints after having no luck at the other places.
"Have you seen this woman around here?" Jiraiya asked a guy as it was a picture of Tsunade in her twenties or thirties.
"Ah, the Legendary Sucker," one of the men said. "She was off to Tanzaku Town."
Jiraiya smiled slightly. "Not too far from here…"
XXX
"Yeah!" Naruto cheered as all his clones disappeared and he fell down, breathing heavily as he stared at his leaf. It was cut half way through.
I'm getting the hang of this since I use my kekkai genkai and using my elemental chakra is the same thing for the most part.
Jiraiya appeared as Naruto grinned wide and showed Jiraiya his progress.
"Whoa, you already got that leaf halfway cut!" Jiraiya smiled and laughed when Naruto shook his head down and up rapidly.
He certainly is growing rapidly…
"Alright, I found information, so you'll have to cut that leaf while we walk until we reach the next town, Tanzaku Town."
"Okay!" Naruto grinned as they went on their way, ready to find Tsunade wherever she may be.

Onoki looked at Kisuke, "Are you sure you want to be the ambassador to the Konohagakure? I hear that Sunagakure had an alliance with Konohagakure as well because Orochimaru fooled them with killing the Kazekage." Kisuke looked seriously at the Tsuchikage. "Do you think you can deal with a Suna shinobi being an ambassador to Konoha as well?"
"I will deal with it. I don't hold a grudge against Sunagakure that much other than killing three shinobi of ours and injuring a few others. That's all; I'll be fine."
Onoki signed, "Alright, you'll be the ambassador for Konoha. I hear that Jiraiya went on the look for their new Hokage. He's headed for Tanzaku Town from what I hear. You should be able to make it there since you have a great head start."
"Alright, I'll head there." Kisuke went to the door, stopped, and turned his head a bit to look at Onoki. "See you later, Tsuchikage."
"See ya," Onoki said as Kisuke disappeared, ready to go to Jiraiya and Naruto.
