A/N: Before I begin this story. I would like to let some people know one or two things.

Marc: I would like to point out to you and to all my readers. That there is a deep twist to this story on so many level's I don't think anyone will see it coming. I don't know if you'll get it before that secret is finally out. But we can only guess. And a side note... Don't hope on me sticking to character. I suck at that for the most part and seemed to be lucky on that test chapter. And finally. I like Jiraiya so he won't be in trouble.

Because as I said. There is something big in this story I have planned. And everything that happens from when Naruto becomes a ninja. Will lead to the main story to come. I hope.

Chapter 2

In the day's that past, Goku monitored Naruto's progress to see if he could meet Minato's pace.

But what Goku found was that Naruto advanced faster than the 4th. Where it took Minato longer for Minato to get used to a route, task, or challenge that required time to train up to reach. Naruto took days less.

So as the first month came up, Naruto was now doing his route with a better ease than before. So Goku pushed Naruto's route longer and added a new task. Zigzagging round trees.

But it seemed Naruto would get through this in time less than Goku thought Naruto would. So Goku has decided something better for Naruto.

And now, we moved to our young blond in training. Out in the forest on his task for Goku.

"Hm..." Naruto rubbed his hand against the tree as he walked along. 'No... Not ready yet...' Naruto glanced about.

Naruto had improved so much under Goku's watch. That he began to teach Naruto basic information for him to use as a ninja.

Such as finding the right kind of fire wood. This went from checking a tree's age by telling Naruto to find three tree's ready to be cut out of ten trees. And if he got 3 out of 6 right. It was ramen that night.

But this left Naruto to go with days without ramen. But the training did its work. So Naruto could find the right tree to cut without trouble. And so Goku gave Naruto this challenge for the day.

To find a ready tree. Cut it down and saw off a good chunk. Drag it back and chop it into small blocks. And then stack them all up before midday.

If Naruto completed this on time. Goku was going to take Naruto fishing. Show him how to make a rod, catch fish with it, make a spear and catch fish with it and also catch fish with one's own hands. Naruto found the last one to be the most fun.

The sound of a feet and Naruto planted himself against the wall of a tree. Ninja passed over the top and Naruto sighed.

Another thing Goku began to teach Naruto. Was to hide ones presence. Seeing as Naruto wasn't technically aloud in the land of fire outside the village till he was older. So Naruto with his training from running after a prank and Goku's teachings. Naruto's learned to evade some of the more skilled ninja to hide in the forest and continue training. Naruto had always wondered why no one ever found Goku's place... But Goku simply said it's out of sight of routes ninja run through.

"There... All done." Naruto said rubbing his hands together. He smiled at the wood all stacked up in a neat pile for the winter.

It was predicted that it was either this winter or the next that would be heavy wood snow. Goku was making preparations for whatever comes.

"Let's see..." Naruto popped his head through the door and checked the clock. "5 minutes too... Just in time."

"I better clean this place up a bit." Naruto said as he grabbed a brush and swept the lose wood away.

This was how Goku found the blond when he arrived. "Done all ready?" Goku asked as he walked up. Naruto looked up with a grin.

"Yeah! Go take a look! I've got everything done on time." Goku looked at the stack and nodded.

"Ok, let's go."

"Yatta!" Naruto cheered.

"The keep is not to scare the fish when the bait lands." Goku said as he flung the bait out on the line. A soft splash rung out. "You're go." Naruto nods and sends his lone out.

Sadly it was a loud flop. Goku shook his head as Naruto hung his in shame. Goku se the rod's down.

"While they try to catch something I'll show you on how to make your spear. Now remember." Goku said as he held the too long poles of wood. "You don't throw these. You have to stab the fish."

Naruto nods. During the month when it came to catching food. Naruto had been with Goku to catching animals in the forest. Goku teaching Naruto a bit about traps. And air projectiles. Like using a bow and arrow.

It made Naruto a bit ill. But it was quickly ridded as Goku explained that this was how people had to survive. And he would most likely see death in all kinds of forms.

Goku then showed Naruto how to skin the animal and use the parts of an animal. Like using the waste to keep predators from going too far towards the hut. Even if Goku was strong enough to handle a scuffle. It was better to keep an animal like a bear or pack of wolfs from coming to close and making a mass of the place. As long as they had food to distract them elsewhere. They wouldn't bother Goku.

Then came to cooking the meat and storing food for later. All of which Naruto took to memory as it would because as Goku said, it would help when he's out in the mild of nowhere and the team needed to eat to keep their strength up.

With the final part of what was skinned. Goku showed Naruto ways to use the skin for simple forms from carriers to decoration.

"Now Naruto... It's all about being still and keeping a cool nerve." Both Naruto and Goku had been standing in the cold water for 5 minutes now. Not moving and Naruto was beginning to be annoyed. But didn't speak up. You had to stay quiet as best one could.

'So... cold.' Naruto saw a fish. With a splash the fish scattered and Goku sighed. Naruto pulled the pole out, with no fish.

"Another thing about fishing this way. It about timing. And being able to kill something as quiet as possible." Naruto hung his head in shame.

"Now..." Goku said as Naruto sat on the bank. Goku stood in the water as Naruto dried off. "This is the hardest to master. You have to grab a fish with your hands. But with the water in front of you as a barrier. You have to keep you hand closer to the water.

"Why not keep you hand under?"

"Because the water slows down body movement. It's about fast movement. And since this is part of your body. You can judge better. Even if the water still gives the distance illusion of a close to surface fish."

Naruto nods as Goku hand his arm back and waited. Naruto glanced over to the rods and blinked as both began to bend. "Hey the rods!" Naruto said running over. Goku glanced up and sighed.

"Pull on the line and hold on till I get there Naruto!" Goku called out making his way to the bank.

Naruto pulled on Goku's, as it was the closest. But as soon as Naruto had a hold on the fish the line snapped. Naruto was about to yell when Goku dived over his head and into the water. The blond boy could only blink.

"Ah!" Goku called half a minute later a bit downstream. "Crafty devil!" Goku said holding the fish up. Naruto cheered at the fact they'll be eating a big fish to night.

"Itadakimasu!" Goku and Naruto called out as they sat by the fire along the river. Naruto enjoyed every night he was out in the forest. So peaceful, and quiet. Yet great to enjoy from the clear night sky on most nights. And what he enjoyed beside the moon glowing off the river was the shooting stars. He never saw any at night since the village's light dimmed the night sky.

"Every time I come out here. I enjoy every night in the forest. You must see all sorts of things. Like comets over maybe even close passing planets." Naruto said looking at Goku.

"True... You see all sorts. But I enjoy it because I can live in peace."

"Why do you want to? I know you said you have the odd person like me or you have the animals. But why don't you go into the village? I'm sure you could make friends there." Goku sighed.

"It would be nice. But I've lived long enough. My closest friends have passed on, and I'm only waiting to join them."

"Oh..." Naruto muttered. Goku smiled lightly.

"You'll understand one day."

"But not just yet... I know." Naruto muttered. Goku sighed with a smile.

The morning came and Naruto was out in the stream trying to catch breakfast. As he made his way a bit more out Goku called to him.

"Naruto, take care, not all the area is safe, the rocks can be sharp, and there are ditches you could drop into... Speaking of which, can you even swim...?" Naruto froze for a second.

'Can I?' Naruto scratched his head. Goku sighed shaking his head.

"That's no then. Come back here and I'll teach you how to swim." Naruto nods and makes his way back. Only to trip.

"You ok?" Goku called out. Naruto bobbed out the water. He glanced to his foot.

"No... I think I found one of them sharp rocks you mentioned." Goku waved his hand.

"Stay there. I'll come get you."

With Naruto now taken out of the water and put somewhere so Goku could check the wound. "That's a large cut. And with the river water that's going to infect it."

"That's bad... Right?" Goku nods.

"I'm not much for a medic. But I do have something to stop the cut from becoming infected more." 'With the nine tails inside him... I'm sure Naruto will be fine.' "And we'll give you time to rest up with a special cream for the wound. And see how you do." Naruto nods.

"Ok..." Naruto lay down as Goku reached into his bag and with a puff of smoke a small container appeared. He opened the door and took out a cotton bud and dabbed Naruto's wound with an ointment. Naruto winced.

"Just relax." Goku spoke as he cleaned off the foot. 'Clean cut and no rocks got stuck. That's fine. Now...' Goku opened a small container and pulled a leaf out. He rubbed the yellow cream into the leaf and held it to Naruto's foot. "Now this may sting." Goku said putting the leaf on. Naruto yelled out as the cream took to the wound like a burn. Goku sighed with a smile. "But it's got to be done."

"Agh! What you put in that... Fire?!" Naruto asked as he tried to grip his foot. But Goku held his hands off.

"Let's it work. The pain will fade."

The morning for school came and as Naruto was about to make his way off Goku called out.

"Oi Naruto!"

"Yeah sensei?" Naruto said running over. "I forget something?" Goku shook his head.

"No... But before you go... Put these one." Goku said passing Naruto a white shirt, two orange wrist bands. And blue boots with a red and yellow strip running down the side. Naruto blinked as his arms shook as he held them.

"Their heavy."

"Weighted actually. Naruto, because of how you're improving. I've decided to give you weighted clothing instead of increasing your running distance and tasks with them."

Naruto let them drop. "How heavy are they. I couldn't hold them any more."

"About... 20 kilo's."

"Eh?! 20!"

"Yeah, when I was 11 I carried them under my sensei's training. And when you've mastered everything I'm teaching you. You may remove them."

"What will I be able to do once I remove it?" Naruto said. Goku crouched and jumped up like a rocket. Naruto's jaw fell in awe as Goku seemed to float in the air before dropping.

"That."

"Amazing! Ok! I'll wear them." Naruto said putting the clothing on. Naruto waved as he struggled his way off to school.

'Good luck Naruto. Those clothes are made by Kaio-sama himself.'

The week's passed again into late November. And we find Naruto running through the snow.

Turned out that predictions had been right, and the 5 year cycle of winter had come. Even when the sun was out, it was still cold. The snow has been to see out till the end into the New Year.

For Naruto it was only more difficult. But luckily Goku was being helpful. With new orange clothing for the winter. But still carried the weights in them. Naruto was pleased he was able to stay warm from training in this weather. But Goku had pointed out to Naruto that the blond must keep his feet dry. The boots weren't good for snow. And his feet will get wet and cold.

Naruto took Goku's word to heart and made sure his boots dried off in class while he studied.

Speaking of which. Goku had told Naruto he would have to study more. When Naruto moaned at the fact of this Goku stated.

"That when learning martial arts. No person in this element becomes a master just by strength. You need to train the mind too."

He also made another quote from his sensei to Naruto in this time.

"Move well, study well, play well, eat well, rest well. That is the style of the turtle masters way. You shall follow the same principle."

And so Naruto did. He moved with running, studied with his lessons and what Goku taught him. Played in games that required either running or tactics... Most of time with Shikamaru Nara who Naruto was beginning to enjoy playing in shougi with. And also... Took time to do what Shikamaru did for resting, watching the clouds go by.

This made Goku impressed with the young blond. The blonds was getting better under the weight of the clothing as well as improving in his running.

Naruto's run under 20 kilos of weight moved from running a kilometre, then 2 skipping. Then zigzagging through a forest pathway to running up the side of a cliff pathway. And then he would return.

Sadly for Goku, there were no deserts in the land of fire. Or even dinosaurs or large sharks. So some of Goku's training ideas could not be achieved for Naruto.

But right now, let's go back to our blond in training. He was currently entering the small area Goku had. The area was amazingly absent of snow. It was like the snow was forced away or something.

"Ah Naruto." Naruto turned to Goku who entered from the forest. Goku was clad in a similar orange and black winter suit as Naruto. With black pants and boots. Along with black top with orange sleeves. A symbol for Go on his back.

This one of the big reason Naruto liked Goku. They both liked orange in their clothing.

"With this winter weather. It has given me an idea."

"Idea?" Naruto muttered. Goku nods and motions Naruto to follow.

Both walked back through the forest till they reached the river... Naruto's jaw fell in awe.

It was an endless sheet of ice.

"Woah!" Naruto yelled running out. Goku didn't say anything. But only sweat dropped as Naruto slipped and banged his head on the ice. "Ouch..." Naruto cried out. Goku picked him up by the collar. Goku sighed as he put Naruto back on his feet.

"Steady... But this why we're here. I checked the ice and it's good and thick. So falling through is highly unlikely. Now this weekend I'll have a training course set up for you."

"Huh?" Naruto blinked. Goku smiled.

"You see... You won't always have ground beneath you to fight on. You will be on water, sand or ice. And you need to learn how to control your footing in scenarios like this. I had trouble one time on ice. But I got lucky in my fight." Naruto blinked.

"So from now till the ice is thinned too much. We'll be going over fight trials." Naruto cheered.

"Finally! I get to learn taijutsu." Goku chuckled.

"No." Naruto faltered.

"But you just said!"

"I said trails. The tasks you'll be doing won't mean hand to hand combat. But it will be something close. But you'll have to wait till the weekend." Naruto hung his head.

"Great..." Goku sighed with a smile.

'You're doing well Naruto. You're improving rapidly. But we're not there yet and by summer next year. We'll begin.' Goku helped Naruto off the ice.

The days passed and Naruto spent those days to train on what he knows. The morning came and Naruto stood on the ice looking down. Goku stood off to the side.

"Ready... Go!" Naruto sprinted forward and landed flat on his face. Goku sweat dropped.

'The first task is to master using chakra to hold you on the ice. Let's see if you can figure it out.'

Naruto grunted before putting his hands to the ice and flipping back onto his feet. With a slip and a slid Naruto ran forward to his first task or the course.

Which he of course didn't know about. So the second he makes up the slop he could only blink and yelp as he fell into the cold rushing water.

Goku stood a ways down tapping his foot. His arm shot into the water beside him and pulled out and blue and frozen cold Naruto.

XXXXX

"Achoo!" Naruto said shivering. "Teme..." Naruto growled with a scowl. Goku glanced over with a slight smile.

"I never said it was going to be easy. This is supposed to help you every task you meet. The ice is the first target you must pass."

Naruto grumbled as the two sat by the fire. Naruto glanced back out to the frozen river. The snow made it look so weird. Like he was in another land. Goku glanced to Naruto. He then glances back to the fire.

'I'm going to push you Naruto. You need to learn. You have talents you need to tap into. But...' Goku glanced to the starry sky. He coughed. Naruto glanced over.

"Use chakra." Naruto blinked as Goku said that looking at the fire. Naruto scratched his head before looking at the river.

'Is he... giving me a tip?'

Day came and Naruto was amazed he was as good as new. Goku stood at the side.

"Ready?" Naruto closed his eyes.

'Use chakra... What does he mean?' Naruto moved his foot a bit. 'Maybe... On the ice?'

"Set..." Goku spoke again. Naruto formed a half seal.

'That's it Naruto...' Goku smiled as Naruto focused his chakra.

"Go!" Naruto pushed forward and slid on the first step.

'Not enough grip...' Naruto's right foot gripped tight and Naruto smirked as he got his footing. Goku watched Naruto get his feet moving.

'That's good... He's gathered that he needs enough to stick.'

Naruto ran up the slop and jumped the large open gap. Naruto would of grinned if he wasn't face to face with two swinging poles.

That next thing Naruto saw was stars. And a sudden deep freeze.

Goku sighed.

'This is going to be a long winter.'

But even dough it saw hard. Naruto succeeded slowly.

With learning to stick to the ice with chakra. Then learning to move his body through the air in order to roll between the poles. Then it got harder.

He had to land and control his chakra and control of footing as he skidded past multiple pillars of ice and poles of water.

He would then skid between two pillars, jump a puddle, slid on his back under a pillar and then flip over the next. Which was also set so he would need to be fast enough to flip the distance past the open gap into the water.

Yes Naruto got past it all. And in just a month. With only days to Christmas. And of course Naruto prize for getting to the end.

A dip into the water for finishing.

Yes... Goku was indeed a good person to be around and for advice.

But when it came to training. He was a royal teme to Naruto.

But Naruto couldn't complain. He could tell his body was moving really well. Even with all the weight on his body.

It was a sunny day and Naruto was sat on top the fourth hokage's head.

"How did you ever survive his training...?" Naruto asked. "But then again... His training must have helped you to hokage?" Naruto asked again. Naruto looked down as villagers and shinobi were in high spirits with the 25 fifth only a week from now. Naruto rubbed his chin.

"Got any idea what Goku would like? Sigh... Why do I bother to ask question's I know I won't get answers for? Guess it helps me think."

"I wonder what Goku will get me?" Naruto sighed again. "Most likely more training tasks that will put me in the deep freeze. I swear he enjoyed every dip I got. Man that was a hard month." Naruto rolled his shoulders.

'Man... It's like I can't feel the weight now. All this training has made me forget I wear this nearly 24/7. I wonder what I'll be like when this is finally off. And when I'll get to take it off? Hehe... No ninja alive will match me in speed if I hope correctly.' Naruto grinned.

'The old man isn't too bad... But I guess anything will make him happy. He lives on his own in the middle of a forest. He could do with anything. Like...' Naruto rubbed his chin with a smile. 'I know...'

It was eve when Naruto was blitzing the snow. On his back was a large package. He smirked as he found the snow no problem with his training. The chakra control he's gained from the river is useful to get through the snow.

One of the thing's Naruto gained out of it was what Goku called to Naruto. Chakra thrust. It's controlled by bursting chakra from points of the body like the feet so Naruto could jet round the pillars. Naruto took this into getting through snow by bursting at the base of his feet.

Naruto broke through the trees to the clear area that Goku lived in. Naruto kept hoping one day for snow to settle... But still nothing.

"Oji-san!" Naruto called out. Goku didn't reply.

"Oji-san?" Naruto glanced inside the hut.

"Oji-san?" Nothing round back.

"Geez... He must be off doing something. Let's see."

"He's got wood..."

"Foods stacked up. So he's not hunting."

"Nothing's out of place..." Naruto frowned. 'Guess I'll just have to wait.'

And wait he did. It was late afternoon when Goku returned. Naruto was asleep in the hut when Goku entered. Goku smiled at the blond.

"Hey... Up Naruto you lazy bones." Naruto grunted as he rolled on his side from the tap.

"Wasn't rest well... One of your rules?"

"Sleeping doesn't count as rest... Even on my floor. Now up." Naruto sighed and stood. He walked to the wall and grabbed his package.

"Here..." Naruto said in his tired state. Goku blinked.

"For me?" Naruto nods.

"I thought you may like something for Christmas. So... I got you this."

"Thanks..." Goku said setting it beside the small tree he had in there. "I'll open it on the day. And seeing as where exchanging gifts..." Naruto blinked as two packages were put before him.

"What... The..." Naruto muttered stunned. This was the first time he got gifts from people beside the 3rd. "For me?" Naruto asked surprised. Goku nods.

"You can open it if you wish." Naruto looked at it. But shook his head.

"No... I'll wait till the day. It's only fair." Goku smiled.

"Ok... So... You heading back?"

"I best... I've wasted my entire day waiting. I'll see you sometime soon oji-san." Goku smiled as Naruto made his way to the door.

"Later Naruto. Come by if you want. I won't mind a visit." Naruto nods.

"I'll try come." Naruto then shut the door. Goku smiled.

"Well see."

The days passed and Naruto took time to do something he's not done for a while.

Prank.

Yes... An old sport for Naruto now. He did this for two reasons.

One, was because when ninja chased him. It helped him improve his body and stamina.

And two... Heh. It's always funny to see their face when a group of male shinobi have been dyed blue ion the hot springs.

But the 25th came and Naruto awoke that morning.

Normally... These days left him sad with the fact he was alone and no one on these days.

But this time, he had a reason to be happy. And he now grinned as he looked at the orange packages. Naruto hit the rapping like a tornado.

The box lid hit the floor and Naruto blinked. There was a set of clothing folded up. A paper on the top. Naruto read the note.

'These will replace the old clothing. It's a bit more up to date. And I have new weighted clothing for you. Take and look and read this once you've put it on.' Naruto picked up the clothing. Naruto decided to read as he put his clothing on.

'Knowing you.... You ignored me and continued. Anyway... I had this outfit made like the last one. It's light weight and can endure low level ninjutsu.' Naruto's right arm slipped out the black sleeve.

'I based the design off modern ninja to martial arts. This way you can perform both without trouble.' A dark blue rest slipped over the top. A kanji for 'go' stitched into the back. This labelled Naruto one of Goku's students.

'I would recommend not using this outfit till after the winter. Unless you want a cold.' Black baggy jeans slid up Naruto's legs with an orange belt clipping on the front. A spiral in red as the clip.

'This will be the base outfit for the next year till you get close to the end of your ninja training. Hope you enjoy.' Naruto's wrists flicked forward as he felt the new black wrist bands. Black boots with an orange strip up the middle. Naruto gripped the black sash tightening the blue vest up. Naruto looked at the mirror and grinned.

The sleeves of the black shirt covered up to his elbows and the vest hung down not just below the waist. The outfit was fitted out with pockets for places to stick ninja tools. Naruto grinned. Since this was a base outfit. Naruto could give Goku tip's on what he could do with next time and what he liked. He pulled up the paper.

'The final piece to this outfit is the new seal I had made. Only I can set the weight level and I have made it so when you push chakra into the seal on the belt. The outfit will return to the weight of 20 kilos. Give it a try.'

Naruto put his hand to the seal and it glowed. Naruto watched the glow fade before hoping a bit. Seemed to work.

Because if it didn't. Naruto would have gone through the roof. He hadn't done that no... But watching Goku jump...'

Naruto smiled as he looked at the kanji on the back. It may have less orange. But he liked it non-the less.

He then sat down and went through the other package. Naruto blinked as he looked at the weapon placed inside. Naruto picked up the paper.

'As you grow you'll need new skills as both shinobi and martial artists. This kodachi will be your weapon for the time being. There are scrolls listed with the training you will follow when you have free time. I will also like to recommend using the sash on the vest for the buke-zukuri style. This is the best placed style to keep the kodachi. And remember to have the blade facing up.'

Naruto gripped the black sheath and black hilt. A soft click echoed as Naruto unsheathed the blade. Naruto stared in amazement at the fine reflective steel. Like waves it was that seemed to rush on the blade. The hilt was in a rectangular style. With gold studs running down the blade. Naruto smiled as he sheathed the blade.

Naruto rested the sheath and looked at the mirror. He nodded.

"This is the best Christmas ever."

XXXXXXXX

Hm... Not bad I say, and sorry for the time it took for chapter 2. I've been playing tales of vesperia. And it's so cool! It's giving me some ideas for new fics and future ideas.

Anyway I'm thankful you all waited and didn't ask where the next chapter was. So I may as well get this little bit over with.

Now soon n the future Naruto's going to look really powerful. But I'm sure your saying right now. 'He's training with son Goku, Of course he's going to be super powerful than normal.' But there's more to this and I'm going to have a few thing's pop up.

Like blood lines. A unique one I hope. And I hope to have handicaps in this for Naruto. But I hope it doesn't turn out bad.

Anyway I may as well leave with an ending song. I though this one would be good and I hope to get more people to look at this if they don't even know about it. This is for teamfourstar. Haha!
