Chapter 13 - Training Begins
Next Day Morning (Raikage's Personal Training Ground)
Six figures could be seen standing on the Raikage's personal training ground. They were Darui, C, Yugito, B, A and finally Naruto. All of them has just now finished their morning workouts and gathered together for Naruto's test.
"Let's see, what you can do Naru-hime," said A.
"Ok, so who is going to test me?" asked Naruto.
"That would be me Naruto-sama," said Yugito.
Naruto let out a groan and said "I think, I told you to not to call me that Yugito-sama," said Naruto.
"And I can say the same for you too Naruto-sama," said Yugito while giving a small smirk.
"So if I stop calling you Yugito-sama, will you stop doing the same?" asked Naruto.
"I think, I can speak for all of us present here," said Darui after stepping forward a bit, before continuing "No matter what you say, We will call you Naruto-sama from now on." finished Darui and all the other present except A and B nodded in agreement.
"You too Darui-sama, now why are you calling me as Naruto-sama?" asked Naruto with a pout on her face.
"You told us to not to call you as such until you have earned our respect, which you did. Hence we are calling you as such," said Darui.
"But I..." Naruto started speaking, but A cut her off.
"I think you should drop it Naru-hime, since they can be stubborn sometimes, just like you," said A after giving a small smile.
Naruto pouted and said "Fine," after giving up.
Yugito resisted an urge to scream 'Kawai' and hug her to death.
"I don't see any problem in that, It is certainly way better than how people used to call you back in the Leaf Village," said Kurama.
'You know my reasons Kurama,' said Naruto.
"Trust me, their feelings is genuine. I can feel the sheer respect they have for you. So stop complaining and start your training already," said Kurama.
'Fine!' exclaimed Naruto.
"So how should we start?" asked Naruto.
"Yugito will test your Taijutsu, then Darui will test your Kenjutsu and we will check your Ninjutsu after that. By the way do you know your elemental affinity?" asked A.
Naruto shook her head in negative.
"Ok then, we can test your elemental affinities after that," stated A.
"Ok," said Naruto as she started stretching her body, preparing for her spar against Yugito.
A few minutes later Naruto stopped stretching and Yugito took that as a clue and asked "Are you ready?"
Naruto nodded as they both went into their respective stance.
Naruto has put his left hand in an open palm fashion, with slightly bent fingers in front of her chest. Her right hand was in a claw like position, few inches ahead of her right hip. She has putted her left leg forward in a crouch like position to provide her the burst of speed.
"Which style are you using?" asked Yugito curiously.
"This is The Dragon Fist style," answered Naruto. (A/N: I wasn't able to find much about this style. This stance is completely made by me. So, I am sorry if there is any mistake in that.)
"YOU KNOW THE DRAGON FIST," shouted Yugito after coming out of her stance, completely forgetting about the spar.
Yugito was not the only one, other occupants of the clearing also have the shocked expression on their faces.
"Ahh yeah, What is the big deal in it? Jiraiya-oji-san and Tsunade-baa-chan also reacted in the same way?" asked Naruto after coming out of her own stance.
"You mean, you don't even know, what this style can do?" asked Yugito.
"Of course I do, otherwise I wouldn't be using this style. But why are you all reacting in this way?" asked Naruto once again.
A shook his head and decided to explain "Naruto-chan, The Dragon Fist is perhaps one of the most powerful and sought out Taijutsu style known to the mankind. This style is also said to be very hard to master and many of us thought that it has been lost long before the foundation of the ninja villages. Come to think of it, How do you even know this style or do you even know what this style can really do?" asked A after a brief explanation.
"Dragon Fist style is said to be created after merging the strong points of the twelve styles based on different animals. As for how I know this style, I found a scroll of the Dragon Fist in the Senju library, well more like the abandoned part of the library. Don't know, why nobody tried to look into that area since I found many useful scrolls over there, though I put all of them in the right places before coming here," replied Naruto.
All of them sweat dropped after hearing Naruto's answer.
"Are you any good in that?" asked Yugito.
"I still have a long way to go to be called master of this style, but from what Jiraiya-oji-san told me; I am quite proficient in using it," replied Naruto.
Yugito nodded and went into her Taijutsu stance once again and Naruto followed suit.
After a few moments of silence, Naruto charged forward, trying to punch Yugito on the chest, but Yugito parried the blow before attempting to punch her face. Naruto used an open palm to block the punch and immediately slid her hand over Yugito's and grabbed her wrist and thrown her over her head. Yugito somersaulted in midair and landed in a crouch position and immediately rushed towards Naruto.
Soon they both were trading blow after blow. Yugito was bending her body in unnatural angles to dodge Naruto's blows and Naruto was using her above average flexibility as well as her reflexes, which were honed after years of her trying to run away from the mobs, to dodge or block Yugito's blows. After a few minutes, Naruto outstretched herself in an attempt to land a hit on her and Yugito took the advantage of that and slid under her guard and sent a palm thrust towards the Naruto's chest.
Naruto slid a few meters back, before coming to stop. She looked towards her opponent and thought 'Damn, she is tough, but how the hell is she bending her body on those angles?'
"That's Nibi's effect. Every jinchuuriki inherits some traits from their respective biijus and an unnatural flexible body is one of the Nibi's traits." said Kurama.
'How come I didn't get anything from you?' asked Naruto.
"We have just started bonding with each other. As of right now, you already got the boost in your already enhanced Uzumaki healing ability. In time you will be able to sense the negative emotions, and if you try hard enough, then positive emotions as well," replied Kurama.
Naruto nodded mentally and said "Shall we take it up a notch?"
Yugito smirked in response and rushed towards Naruto in slightly higher pace than before.
Naruto activated her one tomoe sharingan and channeled chakra in her feet and hands and rushed towards Yugito.
They both met each other in midway and attempted to punch each other once again, only for their opponent to block the blow with their other hand.
Yugito used her superior strength to push Narto backwards and used a low sweep kick to knock Naruto to the ground, but Naruto jumped over the kick and tried to kick Yugito's face. Yugito once again bent her body backward and the kick went over her head.
This continued for another twenty minutes, and both of them failed to land a solid blow on their opponents. But Yugito had more experience compared to Naruto and took the advantage of that once again and used a feint with her left hand. Naruto attempted a block, but soon found out that it was a feint due to her sharingan, but before she could have reacted, a kick connected with her stomach, making her spit out some of the saliva before she slid back few feet's before coming to stop.
"Ok, that's enough," said A.
Both Yugito and Naruto relaxed their body before they started moving towards each other and bowed their heads in respect.
"That was a good spar," said Yugito.
"Thank you, but I still have to cover a lot of ground to measure up to any of you," said Naruto.
"While that might be true, but you did very good Naru-hime, so don't sell yourself too short," said A and Naruto nodded in response, with happiness clearly written on her face due to A's praise.
"Your speed is quite good for your age as well as your Taijutsu and reflexes, but you lack in experience. I would say, you are about low to mid chunin in Taijutsu. Now, about your Kenjutsu. Do you have any specific Kenjutsu style?" asked A.
Naruto shook her head and said "No, I only know the basics in the art of Kenjutsu. I got the scrolls of single and double sword style from Mifune-sama and I was planning on learning from that in future."
"Ok, I think Darui can help you with that since he is the best Kenjutsu we have," said A.
"Thank you Darui-sama," said Naruto as she bowed to Darui.
"It will be my pleasure Naruto-sama. So shall we start our Kenjutsu spar?" asked Darui.
Naruto nodded and unsheathed one of her sword that she got from Mifune from her back and went into the basic stance of Kenjutsu.
'He is way ahead of anyone else that I know in the Kenjutsu. I can't afford to hold anything back against him,' thought Naruto as she activated her Sharingan and channeled her chakra in her limbs before dashing towards Darui and attempted a downward slash.
Darui blocked the blow with ease before pushing her backwards and attempted a diagonal swing, which Naruto parried away before circling on her left leg and attempted a low slash. Darui stepped back and attempted a vertical slash of his own, which Naruto blocked by putting the sword horizontally in front of her.
The battle continued for another ten minutes before Darui called it over.
"Your Kenjutsu is around mid genin level Naruto-sama. You also made some basic mistakes that a regular Kenjutsu user never does. For example, when you circled, you left your back wide open for a fraction of a second. It wasn't a big mistake, but any experience ninja can capitalize that mistake. Other than that, there are some minor issues that will go away after you took any particular style," finished Darui.
Naruto nodded in response and thanked Darui once again before turning towards A once again.
"Ok Naruto-chan, tell me everything that you know which is related to the chakra?" asked A.
"Well, as for the chakra control, I know leaf exercise, surface walking exercise, water walking exercise. As for Ninjutsu, I know Replacement Jutsu, Transformation Jutsu, Shadow Clone Jutsu, Clone Grate Explosion, Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu, Kunai Shadow Clone Jutsu, Hair Needle Senbon, Needle Jizo, Wild Lion's Mane Jutsu and Body Flicker Jutsu. I also know how to break Genjutsu, but I can only dispel low level Genjutsu right now and I have also started learning level three Fuinjutsu before coming here," finished Naruto only to sweat drop after seeing the their expressions.
All of the other occupants of the training ground have their eyes bugged out after hearing Naruto's skill set.
"Umm Naruto-chan, Are you certain that you have only unlocked your chakra only one month ago?" asked A after regaining his composure.
After seeing Naruto's nod in response, he asked "How are you able to learn all of that in just one month?"
"I have my ways; oh and before I forget, I learn all of that in two weeks, not in one month," said Naruto while giving a small smirk.
Now, almost all of them have their jaws touching the ground at the end of Naruto's proclamation.
"Are you serious?" asked C, only to get a nod from Naruto as a response.
A shook his head in resignation and said "I don't know how you do half of the things you do. Anyway, let's test your affinity."
"You do know that how that works, right?" asked A after he handed over a piece of paper to Naruto.
Naruto nodded in response and said "If it's Fire, then it will burn; if it's Wind, then it will get cut; if it's Lightning, then it will get crumpled; if it's Earth, then it will turn into dust and finally if it's Water, then it will get soggy."
"That's right, now channel some chakra into it," said A.
Naruto nodded and channeled some of her chakra into the chakra paper and the result was astonishing to say the least.
First, the paper got sliced into three equal pieces. First one burst into flames; the second one got soggy and the last one got crumbled away into dust.
"W..what does that means?" asked a wide eyed Naruto.
"I..I think that it was a faulty paper, let's try with another one," said A as he handed over another chakra paper, only to get the same result once again.
"I..incredible, I think you have four nature affinities Naruto-chan," said A after regaining his composure.
"Brat?" asked Kurama.
'What is it, Kurama?' asked Naruto, still in a bit of shocked state.
"Before I forget, you also got the famed Wood style as well," said Kurama after letting grumble, clearly showing his dislike of the Wood style.
That was too much for Naruto's mind to take and it did the only thing it could have done at this point to handle the shock, It went into shutdown mode. So here she is, standing right in front of everyone with eyes as wide as the dinner plates.
A noticed her change in expression from astonishment to shock and said "Naruto-chan! Are you alright?... Naruto-chan?" said A before he started waving his hand in front of her face, but alas it didn't work and Naruto remained unresponsive.
"It seems she is in some kind of shock boss," said C.
A nodded after turning towards C and asked "How can we wake her up?"
"You can try by kissing her fool ya fool," said B.
"Will it work?" asked A after turning towards B.
B shrugged his shoulders and said "Worth a try."
A looked down towards Naruto's face for a few moments before releasing a sigh and started leaning towards Naruto face and captured her lips with his.
Naruto, who was walking in her own dreamland, responded instinctively and started kissing him back and released a moan inside A's mouth.
Seeing that Naruto has woken up, A pulled back. By that time Naruto has also become aware of her surroundings and noticed everybody's amused expression and blushed in embarrassment.
'Is that is why you asked me to read all about Wood style from Senju Library as well?' asked Naruto.
"Pretty much," said Kurama.
'And why didn't you tell me this earlier?' asked Naruto.
"I thought you already figured it out when I told you you read about Wood Style," said Kurama in amusement.
'I thought that it was to give me some new jutsu ideas and to understand the chakra and nature.' said Naruto.
"Not my fault," replied Kurama in an amused tone.
'You are simply impossible sometimes,' said Naruto and shook her head in displeasure while ignoring the Kurama's chuckle.
"Are you alright Naruto-chan? You have kind of spaced out a few moments ago?" asked A in a concerned filled voice.
Naruto nodded in response and said "Yes, I am alright A-kun. It's just Kyuubi told me some shocking information, which was kind of hard to believe."
Everybody became curious about that so A decided to ask her "Oh, really. So what did Kyuubi told you anyway?"
"I also have a nature affinity of Wood style," said Naruto in an excitement filled voice.
After hearing her answer, everybody has the different reactions. Yugito and C both got fainted on the spot, Darui and B have their jaws touching the ground while staring at Naruto with widened eyes, and lastly A who at first frozen on his spot, quickly came out of it and walked up to Naruto and said "You never stop surprising me Naru-hime" and hugged her tightly while grinning ear to ear. Naruto smiled in response and hugged him back.
They both parted after a few moments and waited for the others to come out of their stupor state.
After a few minutes everybody regained their composure, thought they were still looking at Naruto with surprise and awe filled expressions. Yugito decided to ask something which was bugging her mind.
"Is she going to join the academy Raikage-sama?" asked Yugito.
A shook his head in negative and said "She is already quite ahead in her ninja training. The academy will only hamper her growth, but sadly I also can't promote her to genin because minimum graduation age has been increased to fourteen because of the peace time. Hmm for now she can train with us and then she can take the graduation test with people in her age group and then I can place her on a team which is already in circulation, this way neither of them will hold anyone back. What do you think?" A asked all the others.
They all agreed to this idea, since this one seems to be best suited at the moment.
"Let's head back since it's almost eight o'clock. So any of you are joining us for breakfast?" asked A.
"Sorry boss, but Darui and I already have some plans. May be some other time," said C.
"Well, I would like to join you if it's alright with you Raikage-sama, Naruto-sama," said Yugito.
"Yugito, How many times do we have to tell you that you are like a family member to us," said A.
"Let's go then, my clone has already prepared the breakfast," said Naruto.
She left a clone to prepare the breakfast before coming here, which has dispelled after it has finished preparing to give back the information to Naruto.
All of them nodded and went towards their respective ways.
Yotsuki Mansion (After Breakfast)
Back inside the mansion, Naruto was doing the dishes and Yugito helped her with that. They have just finished the breakfast a few minutes ago. A is getting ready to leave for the Raikage's tower while B has already left for his team meeting.
"So What are your plans for today Naruto-sama?" asked Yugito.
"Nothing special. First, I am going to some grocery shopping as well as some ninja tools and sealing supplies, then I am going to explore the library and if I have some time left after that then I will do some training, I guess. What abut you Yugito-sama?" replied Naruto.
"You are not going to stop calling me that, are you?" asked Yugito.
"Only if you are willing to do the same," said Naruto while giving the small smirk.
Yugito released a sigh and said "I think we are even then Naruto-sama and as to answer to your question, I think I am going to take a mission since I have nothing better to do."
Naruto nodded and put the last dish away and turned around after wiping her hands clean, only to find A standing right in front of her.
"Do you need something A-kun?" asked Naruto.
"I forgot to tell you that I have added your name in my bank account so you can access the money if you need, ok?" said A.
"Thanks A-kun" Naruto said.
"I am getting late. See you at lunchtime Naru-hime," said A as he picked her up to give a quick kiss on her lips before putting her down and leaving through the gate.
"I am also leaving Naruto-sama, See you tomorrow," said Yugito as she followed A.
Naruto closed the main door and went inside her room, only to emerge back after a few minutes and left the compound for shopping.
She came back around an hour later and put the groceries in their respective places before leaving the compound once again for training field.
After reaching the same training field which they used in the morning, she summoned fifty clones and said "Ok, you all remember the Fuinjutsu books we studied back in leaf, so start practicing the Fuinjutsu and try to master resistance and gravity seals first. I want to start training my body using those seals as soon as possible."
"Sure boss," all of the clones said in unison.
Naruto nodded and started walking towards the library.
Library
Naruto entered inside the library and went towards the receptionist desk and greeted Suki.
"Hello Suki-san, How are you?" asked Naruto.
Suki looked up from her work and smiled after seeing Naruto and said "Welcome back Naruto-sama. I am fine. What about you?"
"Same here Suki-san," replied Naruto.
"You are here to get those books from yesterday right?" asked Suki.
"You are right about that, Suki-san. I'll go and get the books," said Naruto, but just before she could start walking, Suki stopped her.
"There is no need of that Naruto-sama. I already have them right here," Suki said as she took out the books from under her table.
"I never got the chance to put them back yesterday and knowing that you will be coming, I kept them here. Just give me two minutes and I will issue them right away," said Suki as she started the process.
"Thank you Suki-san. That was very thoughtful of you," said Naruto.
"Don't mention it Naruto-sama. I am glad that I am able to help you in some way," said Suki as she handed over the books to Naruto.
Naruto took the books and left for the training field but not before thanking Suki once again.
Traing Ground
Naruto came back to the training ground and immediately created another fifty clones after putting the books on the ground and said "Ten of you start reading the books and the other forty, divide in the groups of ten. The first group will practice first exercise of wind manipulation, the second group will practice first exercise of fire manipulation, the third group will practice first exercise of water manipulation and the last group will practice first exercise of earth manipulation. Got it?" ordered Naruto.
"Yes boss," said all the newly created clones in one voice and started performing their assigned tasks.
Meanwhile, Naruto took out some weights and strapped them to her ankles, wrists and waist and started doing the physical workout.
'I can't wait for the resistance and gravity seals,' thought Naruto with glee and continued doing her physical exercises.
Night Time - Yotsuki Mansion (11:00 PM)
A entered inside the mansion late at night. He was catching up to his accursed paperwork, which has been piled up due to his absence.
When he entered inside the kitchen, he found Naruto asleep with her face buried in a book, resting on top of the table. From A's perceptive, It seems like she fell asleep while reading, so he went towards her and shook her while saying "Naruto-chan!"
"5 more minutes," mumbled Naruto in sleep.
A smiled and said "Wake up Naruto-chan."
Naruto let out a groan and slowly opened her eyes while rubbing them to get rid of the sleep after letting out a yarn.
'Cute,' thought A.
"Oh A-kun, sorry I didn't notice you. Please have a seat while I reheat the food for us," said Naruto as she rose up from her seat and started walking towards the oven.
Naruto's statement caught up to A after a few moments and said "Wait! You didn't eat your dinner?"
Naruto shook her head and said "No, I was waiting for you."
"But why? Didn't B tell you that I will be late?" asked A.
"He told me, but I wanted to wait for you... and no, I am not going to change my mind," finished Naruto.
A let out a sigh of resignation. He knew she can be stubborn at times and won't listen to anyone if she has set her mind, after all Tsunade has told him so before they departed.
A few minutes later, both of them sitting together while eating the dinner peacefully.
"So how was your day?" asked Naruto.
"Boring as usual. Going through the piled paperwork. What about you? You looked slightly out of breath during lunch and you are looking completely exhausted right now?" asked A.
"Trained for the whole day since I had nothing better to do," replied Naruto.
"What did you trained into?" asked A.
"Started with Fuinjutsu and physical conditioning using weights since I still need at least another couple of days to finish resistance seal and gravity seal. I also have stared in the first exercise of all of my nature affinities, hopefully I will be able to master them in a week. Chakra control training has been halted since I still need to find a waterfall for the next step, which is Waterfall climbing," said Naruto as she finished her dinner and picked up her and A's plates and put them in the sink before creating a shadow clone to wash them. After that she came back with two glasses of juice and set back in front of A.
"At least you can train with your heart's content. All I do is some pointless meetings and sign the paperwork for the whole day and tomorrow is going to worse since I had to send Mabui on a mission, which requires her specialization, and all my other options for the secretary can't even manage to organize the paperwork properly." finished A with a grumble as he started rolling her shoulders to release the muscle knots.
Naruto let out a giggle as she placed her glass back on the table and rose up from her seat to move behind A and started giving him a shoulder massage after applying chakra in her hands.
A let out a groan of approval after a few minutes and said "Your hands seems to have some kind of magic in them Naruto-chan. Where did you learn to give a massage like that?"
"This is one of the few things Tsunade-baa-chan taught me," replied Naruto.
"Oh, and what else did she teach you in?" asked A after letting out another groan.
"All in due time A-kun," replied Naruto in a playful voice.
"Fine. By the way, I got a notification from the bank that somebody has deposited little over seventeen and half million Ryo in my account and I got a feeling that you are behind it so are you going to tell me about it?" asked A.
He was working in his office, signing the paperwork, when suddenly her assistant came into his office with a piece of paper and told him that his personal account, which used to have around twenty eight million Ryo; suddenly have around forty six million Ryo. At first she was shocked, but after calming down, he thought about the person, who has deposited the amount and the only name he was able to come up was Naruto's, so he decided to ask her later.
"It was my money," said Naruto while putting the emphasis on 'my', before continuing "You remember the trip I told you about, in which I had my first kill?" asked Naruto and after seeing A's node, she continued, "Well Tsunade-baa-chan wanted to participate in a poker tournament organized by a local casino in Tanzaku Gai, so we stopped there for a day. While she was trying her luck at a slot machine, I found a coin on the floor and won a jackpot after I decided to try my luck. Baa-chan wanted to test my luck so we tried other games and one thing let to another and I ended up participating in the poker tournament instead of baa-chan. I gave her half the amount I won in poker tournament, which was ten million and I ended up with a total around eighteen million Ryo." finished Naruto.
"So you also have the luck of a devil," said A as he let out a chuckle before turning his head and looked in Naruto's eyes and said "When will you stop surprising me, Naru-hime?" with a bit of mirth in his voice.
Naruto gave a heart warming smile in return that melted his heart in a second.
"Are you feeling better now A-kun." asked Naruto.
"Yes, Thank you Naruo-chan," replied A.
Naruto moved from her spot behind A and set back in front of him once again and said "I was thinking about your secretary problem and I think I have a solution to your problem."
"Really, What is it?" asked A in curiosity.
"I can help you in organizing the paperwork," said Naruto.
A gave a small smile before saying "Thank you Naruto-chan, but you don't know how tiring that job really is and someone with no experience will have a hard time in organizing the paperwork."
"But I do have some experience in that A-kun. I used to organize the Baa-chan's paperwork whenever Shizune-nee-chan wasn't available. I assure you A-kun that I can easily handle the job," said Naruto with a yarn, clearly showing that she was quite tired and wanted to retire for the night.
"Are you sure that you will be able to handle it Naruto-chan? Mabui won't be back for another couple of days at least?" asked A for which he got a positive nod in response.
"And what about your training?" asked A.
"I will manage. You don't have to worry about it," replied Naruto.
A nodded and smiled in gratitude before he rose up from his chair and picked up Naruto in a bridal carry. Naruto let out an 'EEP' in surprise, which got silenced by A's lips.
"You know, if you keep this up, then I won't be able to help myself and I just might take you right here, right now." said A.
Naruto let out a giggle as she tried to fight back her blush and said "You do know that I won't stop you from doing that, don't you A-kun?" with a smile on her face.
"As much as I would like to make true to my statement, but we can't. At least not now, since we are both very tired at the moment and we do have the training session tomorrow, right?" asked A.
"As you say A-kun," replied Naruto as she let out another yarn while leaning towards A to make herself comfortable as she tried to fight back her sleep for at least another few moments.
"You seem to have tired yourself out Naruto-chan. Come on, I will put you in bed," said A before he started walking towards their room.
A tucked Naruto in their bed before he went towards the bathroom and emerged from it after a couple of minutes in his nightwear, only to find Naruto fast asleep. He smiled a bit after seeing that Naruto was giving a peaceful smile while asleep. He lay down beside her before kissing her forehead and said "Good night Naru-hime."
Naruto moved in her sleep and put her head on his shoulder before moving her head on his shoulder to find a comfortable spot before staying still after finding the said spot and mumbled a soft 'Good night A-kun', which brought a smile to A's face. A wrapped his hand around her and pulled her closer to him before placing a kiss on top of her head and closed his eyes for another night of a peaceful slumber.
