Naruto arrived at training ground ten early. He didn't want to be late to meet his new sensei, and get off on the wrong footing. Naruto walked to the middle of the clearing and looked around. It was a smaller training ground with one large post with several projections coming out of it. Naruto walked up to the post leaned against it waiting for his sensei. A whistling sound caught his attention as he ducked in the nic'of time to miss being a pin cushion from a hand full of Senbon.

"What the hell?" Naruto yelled as he turned towards the woods to see Iruka looking back with a smirk.

"Nice dodging," Iruka said as he walked closer. "Since your bloodline is so different we decided that you will have different Senseis till then end of your training period."

"Ok," Naruto said as he grabbed the handful of metallic needles out of the post and waved them threateningly towards Iruka. "WHY DID YOU TRY TO KILL ME?"

"You were fine," Iruka said waving him off with a slight grin. "You heard it coming from a mile away. Besides I thought you would have teleported out of the way."

"YOU..."Naruto started, but Iruka cut him off.

"I have devised a starting style of fighting that will do you well," Iruka said with a smirk. "Now it is new and no one has the ability to do this fighting with out suffering severe Chakra depletion, but you are a special case."

"Cause of my 'Bamfing' ability," Naruto said with a smirk causing Iruka to raise an eyebrow?

"'Bamfing?'" Iruka asked but shook his head and tossed him what looked like a black and orange pair of gloves. "I had these made for you so try them on and lets see if they can work into this style."

"Wow," Naruto yelled as he pulled on the gloves. The gloves were all black but had orange flames engulfing the glove starting from the fingerless holes. The knuckles had a studded metal plate with deadly looking orange metal spikes, about half an inch in length. Naruto's eyes lit up when he finally had them on. "Thank you Iruka-nii-san,"

"Glad you like them," Iruka said as he rubbed Naruto's hair. "Now this is the style. I think you will like this."

Outside in the surrounding trees stood a gallery of Kohona's Shonobi. The Hokage stood in the middle next to the Huyga Clan head. Hiashi stood with his standard unreadable expression on his face as he watched the Blonde kid nod his head in understanding of what Iruka was teaching him. Hokage smirked as he saw the Clan head activate his Blood line to watch as Naruto Teleported in front of the training post. His eyes widen a bit in shock.

"He completely disappeared," He said in a shocked tone. "It's impossible. Even when one uses the Shunshin we can still track him but..."

"Amazing," Asuma said as he watched Naruto pop in and out around the post striking every time. "With this he can really lay a beat down on people. Coming from all angles with out a way to track."

"Who knew Iruka-kun could come up with such a cool style," Said the Snake mistress as she licked her lips. "Just makes me want him more!"

"Down Anko," Kurenai said as she slapped the back of her head. "You know you will never get him if you keep attacking him like he's your prey or something."

"The chase is half the fun, plus maybe you should try it," Anko said with a sly smirk. Then added, as if an after thought, "Right Asuma-Kun?"

"He seems to finally got his footing down," Kakashi said as he turned the page in his book not even looking up, Asuma choking in the background as Kurenai rubbed his back. Everyone sweat dropped wondering how he could even be watching.

"MOST YOUTHFUL," Gai yelled as he gave a blinding smile. "He seems to be progressing well. Needs extreme Training in hand to hand combat if he wants to keep up with this style."

"Right again Gai," Said the older Sarutobi said as he puffed on his pipe with a grin. "He may need a week or two with you alone to get his strength up. His punches lack power, and that can be an easy fix."

"I WILL BE HONORED TO HELP HIM BRIGHTEN HIS FLAMES OF YOUTH!" Gai yelled as he gave his 'Nice Guy Pose'.

"I feel sorry for the kid," Kakashi said with another turn of his page, causing others to nodded in agreement. "His main problem is his strength and taijutsu."

"He seems to have hit a new speed," Shikaku said as he they watched Naruto phase in and out but something was different. He was leaving behind an exact copy of himself that wisped away into smoke after a second. This effect was further confusing the bystanders as they couldn't see the real Naruto who was still pounding the post with renewed vigor. Then there was an audible snap and the post went flying. Naruto stood drenched in sweat and panting heavely.

"That was great!" Iruka yelled as slapped a hand on his shoulder causing the blond to stumble forward a bit. "You really are improving."

"Did you see what happened when I 'Bamfed' quickly," Naruto said as he sat down next to the shattered post his eyes changing back to their electric blue. "I left like a smokey copy of me."

"That will further come into handy with this style Naruto," He said with a smirk. "You can feint your attacks and cause further confusion among your enemies."

"I can see how that can be helpful," Naruto said as the gears started to turn in his head. "We may need another post Iruka-nii-san."

"Too right you are," Iruka said as he looked at the remains of the shattered post. "Since you ruined that post. Now on to phase two, strength training."

"Right," Naruto said as he slid his took off his orange jacket and reviled an tattered black undershirt with an orange swirl in the middle. "What do we have to do?"

"First we need to increase your weight," Iruka said as he reached out and took Naruto's gloved hands. His hands glowed in blue for a moment then a seal became visible and the number moved from three to fifteen. Iruka let go and Naruto's hands fell to his side and his face looked slightly strained.

"You now have fifteen extra pounds on each hand," Iruka said as he watched Naruto move his hands sluggishly. His entire arms moved slowly for that reason. "You have the speed but you're lacking in power and to be honest...Style."

"Style?" Naruto looked at him confused. "You mean Taijutsu?"

"No I mean Flare," Iruka said with a smirk. "With your technique, you will need to reinvent Taijutsu. Make your own style that fits your fighting techniques. That means you need some sort of style, flare, or confidence."

"I'm not lacking in any of those!" Naruto yelled as he started to go through different Kata's that he learned at the academy. His arms moving slowly due to the extra weight.

"Sure, if you think having the style and thinking a rock," Iruka said. "Look at the Hokages. They each had a certain style that set them apart. Your style is abality close to the Yondaime Hokage. He had it, now you need to find a way to make yours. Remember that and you will come up with something world changing. Now I want you come at me with everything you got."

"You sure?" Naruto asked with a re-lit fire in his eyes. The speech awoke something that might turn out painful for Iruka, but this was a necessary step for Naruto to reach his true potential.

"Scared?" Iruka asked with a cocky smirk as he heard Naruto, as he put it so much, 'Bamf' behind him. Iruka spun and slapped away Naruto's fist, but was surprised when his hand passed through the punch with a wisp trail following Iruka's block. Iruka, thinking quick, mule kicked backwards and connected with Naruto who stumbled back.

"How is it when the post hits back?" Iruka asked Naruto smirked and rubbed his chest then dissolved into smoke and they started again.

"His style keeps changing," Asuma said as Gai nodded with agreement. They had been watching the spar for about an hour now. "He seems to be honestly trying to find his own Taijutsu, Huh?"

"His style is more blunt than finesse," Kakashi said as he actually looked up.

"Blunt as in a tact-hammer," Anko said as she watched Iruka and Naruto stop for a second. Iruka and Naruto laughed as Iruka removed his vest and long sleeve tee shirt. He was wearing tight fishnet shirt now and smirked down at Naruto who was bouncing on his feet ready for round two. Anko went to jump after Iruka, but was knocked down effectively by Kurenai.

"This is true," The Hokage said as he continued to puff away. "He needs to take Iruka's advice and find a common balance. If he doesn't then he will just be a street thug brawler."

"Hokage-sama," Guy said as he looked over at him. "I mean this with no ill-intent towards your acute observation. But that is the true beauty of Naruto's fighting. It's so interchangeable that he will never have a rhythm. That is the true key to being an ultimate Taijutsu fighter. He can't be timed, for he has no pattern in his fighting. Iruka is practically guessing where the next attack is coming from, because Naruto isn't using any of the standardized Taijutsu stances. This is his true brilliance and with fine tuning he will become unstoppable."

"You bring up a good point," The old Sarutobi said as he took his pipe out of his mouth. Then an evil grin spread across his face. "What if he was given a small weapon?"

After receiving several death glares and loud outburst at the idea, the Hokage admitted defeat and the weapon idea was put on the back burner as they continued to watch Iruka and Naruto spar. They were at it for almost three hours straight when they stood facing each other, drenched in sweat and panting heavily. Naruto's eyes were fading back to blue and he looked about ready to pass out while Iruka looked none the fairer. He was bleeding from several scratches and one bad punch that landed on his shoulder. Iruka stood out of his defensive stance and nodded to Naruto who fell backwards and passed out. Iruka sighed as he fell back and landed on his back as well. He heard the sound of the Hokage and his gallery approach him. Looked back to see the Hokage smirking at the tired Chunnin.

"He took you for a few rounds huh?" Kakashi asked as he put his book away and smiled. Iruka smirked back waiting for the usual bantering. "You must be getting rusty there. All that paper grading must be taking it's toll."

"Kakashi he was defensive the entire time," Gai said missing the joke completely. "He did exceptionally well."

"Thank you Gai-san," Iruka said with a chuckle. "But I still feel like I was hit by a bus. He was wearing weights and still managed to land a couple of solid hits. I couldn't keep track of him."

"That's because he completely disappears and reappears in a moments notice," The Hyuga said as he looked at the sleeping boy. "Even with my bloodline it would be difficult to fight against. It is truly a great asset to Kohona."

"Iruka-kun are you hurt?" Anko said as she walked seductively up to him. Iruka groaned as he tried to get up but was pinned down by Anko.

"Anko-chan," The Hokage said as he puffed on his pipe with a smirk. "Please control yourself."

"Thank you Hokage-sama," Iruka said with truly thankful eyes as Anko nodded to the old man but sat down next to Iruka and started to heal his minor wounds. Iruka nodded his thanks to Anko who slightly blushed.

"At least let us get Naruto out of here," The Hokage joked as he picked up the smaller boy. "Now you can enjoy."

With that the remaining Jonin shunshined away leaving them along. Anko turned a predatory grin to Iruka who was already sprinting away.

"I just love the chase," She said to her self, as she got up slowly and brushed off some dirt from her skirt. Then with a sing songy voice she yelled out. "IRUKA-KUN! WHERE ARE YOU?"

Naruto groaned again as he tried to lift the chopsticks to his mouth. It has been two months since he started his private training. He was currently in Ichiraku's getting his fill of ramen before heading home to get prepared for his first day back to the academy. He would be going back on the day of his finally exam. It was do or die this time and he had to pass.

Over the last two months Naruto was put through some of the hardest and most miserable training that he ever experienced or thought was possible. He started his first week with Iruka who taught him his style and flare. He became active when thinking on the run and changed up his stance with every swing. He became so efficient that he never fought the same way twice. Iruka started to fight back towards the end of the week which bowed bad for the young blond who took a good beating after the first day. But at the end of the week he was able to not only block, but return at the same time. His 'Bamfing' was becoming second nature as he was now using it at will for even the petty things. He kept true to his word and made sure that no one found out, but the ANBU are still looking for the one who dyed all the ANBU Robes bright orange. Hokage was a little upset but let it slide. Naruto's pranks didn't end there. He became rather a nuance with out limits. He stole all the towels out of the girls bathhouse. That was Kakashi-nii-san's idea, but it was enjoyable to see. Naruto smirked at remembering the stampede of partly naked women chasing some guy with long with hair as he cursed every Kami in existence. Naruto then trained with Asuma who taught him to better hone his sporadic strategy, well helped him come up with a way to do that. He was truly good at feints and Naruto picked up on a bunch of new tactics using his 'Wisp Clones', he dubbed it himself, as great decoys and set ups for more devastating attacks.

He then started to practice against the crazy snake lady who was extremely upset that she wasn't getting enough time with her Iruka-kun. The true meaning behind that was he slowly became a human pin cushion as he used his new powers to becoming better at dodging and evading. He found out that he can take one other person with him on his port as he was constantly saving Iruka-nii-san from the stalking snake lady. It took a large pool on his Chakra, but he was becoming efficient at getting them out of sticky situations. Such as the one he is currently being paid for now. Iruka looked down at his empty wallet and sighed. Naruto would have chuckled but it hurt too much. For the last part of training he had to deal with the strangest man he ever met. But that further solidified that every strong Ninja had some sort of weird mannerism that set them apart from others. Wearing bright green spandex and his strange hair cut was minute to the speeches he gave about the 'FLAMES OF YOUTH'. Besides that, he was a brilliant man who was teaching Naruto everything he could want to learn. Over the last two months he grew close to his crazy family of sensei's, and couldn't be happier. Well he was still in a lot of pain from his last spar with Gai. He couldn't believe he couldn't even land a finger on the green clad man.

Naruto's gloves now were up to almost seventy-five pounds each. He was moving slower as he was still sore but he was getting used to the new weight. Through his training he ruined everyone of his orange jumpsuits so he had to kind of get a new get-up. He currently was wearing orange sandles with blue tapped ankles. He then had orange track pants that were held up with a blue robe belt that was tied off to the side. Tucked into his pants was a bright white shirt with an orange swirl in the middle and over that was an orange jacket, turned vest reveling his toned and muscular arms after the sleeves were ripped off. The tattered jacket looked styled that way and everyone seemed to think it fit him well. He still had his goggles around his forehead that was pushing his long blond hair skyward.

He groaned again as he dropped the chopsticks. He seemed to have broken another bone in his hand, it was one of the cost of his training that he became use to. It was a daily thing, train till you can't move then go and find something to eat, then go to Anko-chan in the dango shop and see if she can set any of the broken bones received by the sensei's that day. She would gladly do it as long as he wouldn't play escape rope for Iruka-kun every time she was stalking him.

"You ready for tomorrow Naruto?" Iruka asked as he slurped down some of his noodles.

"Yeah I can't wait," Naruto yelled happily as he fist pumped. "I can get that headband and then I can finally stop hiding... 'It'."

"You will be getting another Sensei after tomorrow," Iruka said as he looked over at his favorite student. "You better give him or her everything you got. They wont be as lenient as me."

"I wish I could just join Gai-san's team," Naruto said as with a slight frown. "Then I could really learn a bunch from him."

"You just want to actually land a hit on him during your spars," Iruka said with a smirk and Naruto to frown.

"It's no fair!" Naruto said. "He can just move so fast that even with 'It' I'm still too slow to even graze him. It's just so frustrating."

"I'm sure he will be up to spar you when ever you guys are both free," Iruka said as he rubbed the blond's spiky hair. Naruto's frown slowly lifted and he was smiling again as his big brother made him feel better. "Then you can surprise him with newer techniques."

"Yeah," Naruto said as his eyes bore the Flames of Youth. Before he could start to spout the nonsense Iruka slapped the back of his head.

"He was with you for a month and almost completely corrupted you," Iruka said as he groaned into his hands. "Please try to keep that talk between you two."

"Your flames just keep on dwindling," Naruto said under his breath as he rubbed the back of his head. "Who do you think I will get?"

"Can't say till tomorrow," Iruka said with a smirk as he got up and started out of the ramen shop. "See you tomorrow and try not to be too late. I still can't believe out of everything to learn from Kakashi-san you picked up his tardiness and reading habit."

"I enjoy these books," Naruto said as he pulled out a small orange book from his vest. He tried to open it but his broken hands was making him wince so he placed it in his vest again and patted it, as he giggled perversely. "It's got a good plot and..."

"Yeah yeah," Iruka said with a smirk. "You're lucky all Kurenai-san broke was your fingers today, huh?"

"She called me a Pervert," Naruto said with a mock sad face. "When really I'm just a hopeless romantic...Hehehe."

"IRUKA-KUN!" screamed a voice down the street. Iruka paled as he looked over to his one escape route. Naruto smirked as Iruka ran over to him begging him to get him out of there. Naruto turned back to the front as the flap to the ramen shop opened and in walked a grinning Anko. "Found you..."

"NOW NARUTO!" Iruka begged as he stood behind Naruto and had a death grip on his jacket. "PLEASE DON'T LET HER..."

"Naru-kun," Anko said softly. "You are in between me and my prey..."

"I have a proposition to make," Naruto said still grimacing under the nickname his favorite sister gave him. Anko's eyebrow arched as Naruto raised his broken hands. "Can you undo what Kurenai-sensei did?"

"And what do I get out of it?" Anko said as she walked forward already healing her little brother's hands. Naruto sighed happily as the pain subsided and he looked up at Anko who's eyes changed from concerned back to predator mode.

"Well," Naruto said as he flexed his fingers and smiled happily up and Anko. "I will let you have your chase tonight."

"Nar..."Iruka tried to get out but was cut off as Anko lunged at him and grabbed him by his vest and started to drag him outside. "NARUTO HOW COULD YOU? YOU KNOW WHAT YOU FAIL TOMORROW!"

"Oh," Naruto looked up with a raised eyebrow from his book. "Did you say something?"
