A/N: I just noticed something... I didn't know anything about the geography of the ninja world... What a fool I am.
Chapter 7
Goku stood quietly in the middle of a small open river bed. Reed's surrounded the area in a circle. Goku had his eyes closed and had a staff rested on his shoulder.
It had been a week since they left water. And having tracked a great distance. They were now in the boarding areas of fire and river country.
Naruto kept on asking why Goku insisted they go to wind from water. When it would be quicker to go to lightening. Then work down to wind.
Goku stated that of the next three elements. Wind was the important one. It would help in his task to work on both fire and lightening once they were finished.
It had now been a total of over three weeks now since Naruto left Konoha. Leaving 5 weeks left before he returned for his next year.
Goku said that this will enhance his skills beyond what they were. But Naruto so far had been beaten by every foe he faced.
When Goku was questioned as to why. The simple answer was.
While Naruto has the knowledge and the skills of techniques. He has yet to focus that into practice.
Meaning, he knows how to use moves but can't use them to his best without practice.
So this is what they were doing. Naruto was fighting Goku. And was going to try everything he could.
Goku remained still as the wind rustled the reeds. They shook as something moved. Goku remained quiet and eyes closed.
Instantly the reeds bent as disks flew out. Goku's right hand rose and he deflected all three of the water disks.
Then at Goku's left the reeds speared open as Naruto rushed forward. He jumped and swung out with a right kick. Goku blocked as Naruto then rotated with a left swing. Goku deflected as Naruto twisted and double kicked with Goku countered and attacked with a left kick which was fast enough for Naruto to turn and catch with his right arm and flip into the rush.
Naruto crouched low as Goku stood straight. 'Ok... Let's try this on for size. I've been working on moulding my earth.'
Time went by slowly as Naruto slowly crept through the reed. Naruto dipped some shuriken made of rock into the water and formed a disk. Naruto drew them back.
'I haven't had much practice with this move. But it's worth trying out new things.'
Goku turned as 6 water disks shot out. Goku's eyes opened as he drew on his staff. Goku swung in rapid motion and knocked all the disks in his range.
Naruto rushed in low as his blade glided the water. Goku hopped as Naruto swung and Naruto twisted and looked up at Goku. Naruto crouched, ready to strike Goku on the drop.
Goku smirked as he flicked the pole in his hand and using his middle right finger. Launched the pole at Naruto. The blond jumped up and used the pole as a lever to jump at Goku and swing.
Goku's right glowed and he blocked the sword with his two middle fingers.
Naruto growled as the sword curled. Naruto then drew back and swung round and up. Goku blocked and in a speed Naruto didn't expect. Goku knocked the blade from his grasp with a flick. Goku then spun in Naruto's awed shock and back handed the blond into the water.
Naruto thudded onto the floor as the water wasn't any more than ankle deep and they had just fallen 4 meter's.
Naruto looked up as Goku landed and the old man gripped his blade before pointing it at Naruto.
"Extend... Nyoibo." The pole shot forward and Naruto quickly flipped sideways. His hand gripping the blade in the water.
Naruto smirked at an idea and rushed Goku. He swung down and Goku blocked with his arm to Naruto's amazement. Goku then kicked Naruto backward and the blond flipped.
'If I do this right... I should be able to focus out like Nami could!' Naruto landed both feet on the water and it pulsed out.
Instantly the water rippled around Goku at four sides and four water jets shot out. Naruto rushed forward as he landed. Ready to strike the moment Goku was defenceless.
Goku smirked as he drew his arms in. 'Not good enough!' Goku threw his arms out and a sphere of chi burst to life. Naruto landed against it like he hit a wall and was thrown back. Naruto panted as he landed on his back. Goku sighed with a smile.
"Not bad. But you're still not done yet, are you?" Goku asked as Naruto pushed himself up.
"Dream on... I'm just getting started." Goku smiled as he got into a simple stance.
"Then come on then... Show me what else you've got." Naruto stabbed the blade in the ground and got into stance. Naruto then jumped forward.
The fire flicked as Naruto sat by it, cleaning his blade. "Feeling ok Oji-san?"
Goku, who sat by the fire to Naruto's right. Goku glanced over and Naruto had to keep his face still at the black eye.
No... Naruto didn't beat Goku. He got a lucky right hook to the old man. Sadly it was strong enough to bruise.
Goku smiled. "Yeah... I've taken worse."
"Hey Oji-san..." Goku glanced over.
"Err yeah?"
"You know when we were walking through the land of fire. We passed a monk on the way to his temple."
"Yeah?"
"Well... You said monks can't leave... Till they reach the age of 50."
"True... But there's more than temple." Naruto blinked.
"Really?" Goku nods.
"I have a bit of a long story. You up for listening?" Naruto sighed as he sheathed his blade.
"I guess." Naruto sat near the fire as Goku poked it.
"It goes back nearly 500 hundred years ago..." Goku said as he looked to the night sky.

Back then... There wasn't chakra. But it didn't take long. A man who carried the legendary bloodline.
Rinnegan, the transmigration eye. Held by the rikudou sennin. The six realms sage.
He brought the power of chakra and its element's into the world...
But he didn't do it alone. Alongside him were 5 students.
Huchi... The user of fire, and known as the fire temple god.
O-kuni-nushi... The user of earth, and known as the earth temple god.
Raijin... The user of lightening, and known as the lightening temple god.
Fujin... The user of wind.
And Suijin... The user of water.
These five people were the purists of their elements. Each controlling the power's to a point no one could.
While the sage travelled the world and taught ninjutsu and genjutsu to the world. His student's. All formed the temples you know. And taught people who came to enlighten one's self and learned the elder's arts.
The land was at peace... But then peace never lasts forever.
Some who came to the temple... Wanted to use the powers they learned. And by using ninjutsu and the monks arts. Ninjas were born. And brought the world into war once again.
Slowly monks left to form clans and stood to fight these people. And over time the land was lost to war. For those who wanted to control.
Among them... This one man was truly unique.
Of the senju clan. The man who became the first hokage. Hashirama the man who could use mokuton.
"How come?" Naruto asked.
Hashirama's parents came from both a water temple and earth temple. Their chakra was pure in their elements and when Hashirama was born. He learned from both his mother and father.
The control in which he was given in this was born to the first few elemental bloodlines. This is how the wood release was made.
"So... Chakra bloodlines came from the temples?"
Now all the time. But this is how mokuton was born. It was also this pure chakra that gave him control of the bijuu.
"Bijuu?"
Tailed beasts. Made by demonic chakra.
There's 9 in total.
Ichibi, the one tailed raccon dog.
Nibi, the two tailed cat.
Sanbi, the three tailed turtle.
Yonbi, the four tailed ape.
Gobi, the five tailed whale-horse.
Rokubi, the six tailed gastropod.
"Err..."
Slug...
"Oh."
Shichibi, the seven tailed rhino beetle.
Hachibi, the eight tailed Ox-cephalopod.
And finally...
"The kyuubi, the nine tailed fox."
Yes... Most of these beasts were under the control of the first hokage. He then gave them out to different counties. As an act of kindness.
"For an old guy... You seemed to know a lot."
True... I have seen a lot. But back to what I was saying.
But he wasn't the only one to control the beast. Uchiha Madara, the leader of the Uchiha clan.
"Really?"
Yeah... Back then during the wars, the Uchiha and Senju clans were the two strongest clans. Both waging wars when one was hired. It was how it worked.
But soon after, Senju asked peace. Uchiha wouldn't have it. And Madara left.
"So what happened then?"
Madara came back, and attacked with the Kyuubi. Hashirama stopped him and killed Madara.
"Woah..."
I believe that is why he asked Tobirama.
"Could he use wood too?"
Tobirama was a water purist. Being able to form water out of air. And master water jutsu to a level other's couldn't. He put the Uchiha in charge of police force.
"How do you know so much?"
I tried the force, so he mentioned things to me.
"Lucky."
Nah not really... But Minato normally seeks advice on what I thought.
"Oh right..."
Now.... Onto what I was originally talking about. Back to the temple monks.
"Oh yeah."
Now... When the monk's formed the temples. It was O-kuni-nushi and suijin that formed and made the temples.
The earth temple in the mountains.
The water temple in an underground water pocket.
The fire temple in a volcano pit.
The lightening temple on an open platform surrounded by high cliffs that flows lightening through them.
And the wind temple. In a winding canyon where the winds can be so strong they could destroy houses.
The temples work like this. The easiest... but strongest elements to master are water and earth.
"How come?"
Earth and water are the life of this planet. They make the world for what it is.
The next one to come is air. This is known as the base art.
"Base art?"
It means that using air helps master the other elements.
"Then... Why did we go to those temples first? Why not wind?"
Simple. The factor of learning wind was to be after you learned basic elemental control. Learning minor and easier arts help for when focusing on the higher levels.
"So fire and lightening are the highest?"
They require the use of wind control. Without wind you can't form fire and lightening is what gives the element of lightening. With temperature, pressure, friction you can make lightening.
Wind is also what helps Tenchi and Koori form techniques outside the water to use flying techniques.
So while water and earth and body of the earth. The wind is the life of everything.
So when you think about like this.
Water and earth are beginner arts.
Wind is moderate arts.
Fire and Lightening are advanced arts. Being the hardest to learn.
"So what element am I? Cause Koori-obaa-san said I would find out later."
Your paper split in two right?
"Yeah..."
Your element is the next along. Moderate. Wind is where we will be staying the longest.
"So I'm going to master my element? How long will it take?"
Mastering wind takes 10 years. But that's the ninja style of training. If you focus hard on the wind temples way of life. Wind style will take a lot less time.
"How much by?"
The temple guardian. Master his element. In 5 weeks. And if you placed him against a ninja. Rumours state that he would win no matter what jutsu is played. He is the only person I know who openly trains wind chakra ninja. He even helped the fourth.
"Ok! That's it! I'm so getting this guy's training!"
Hehe... Well best rest now. We have a day's full of walking ahead.
"Night..."
XXXXXXX
The morning came and Naruto stood in front of Goku. Who was looking at Naruto.
"Let's see then?" Goku asked as Naruto took a breath.
He cupped his hands in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, his chi appeared. Then vanished and then returned. Naruto grinned.
"I've mastered the first step."
"That's good."
"So what's step two?"
"Brining the chi out around you. Using it to enhance the body... Watch." Goku said.
Naruto stepped back as Goku slowly raised his arms. In an instant, Goku was alight with white energy. The sudden force had thrown Naruto back. When he sat up he was awed by the sight.
"That's so cool!" Naruto yelled. Goku smirked as he jumped in the air and Naruto watched as Goku released rapid kicks and punches.
What awed Naruto more was Goku vanishing in the air and appearing in other places. Goku appeared behind Naruto.
"And that's step two." Naruto turned to Goku.
"What's step three?"
"That, you'll have to wait and see."
"Awww..."
"Come on... I'll explain on the way about brining your chi out." Goku said walking. Naruto quickly followed.
Slowly the day rolled by and Naruto was tired in the desert sun.
They had passed a small town on the way through the desert for travellers but spent a few minutes on drinks before going on.
Naruto was hoping it wouldn't get hotter.
And as if the god's heard him... It got hotter.
"Oji-san..." Naruto groaned. "I'm tired... Where's the temple?" Goku glanced to Naruto.
"The temple is still a walks away. It's best to keep moving and not stop in the sun. It's why we're wearing this. It's more than just a disguise."
"But it's so hot... I want out of the sun."
"Naruto... You'll be out in the sun a lot at the temple. If we travelled at night. You would be complaining about the cold." Goku said as they walked.
"I'm a kid... I'm supposed to complain!" Naruto yelled. Naruto sighed and drew his blade. He stared at the blade as he swung it along the sand. Trying different grips and attack styles. Goku had called out to not over do it. Over working in the sun would make him sick.
The day rolled by and Naruto began to wonder if he should get a bigger blade?
He had seen anbu carrying katana on their back and Naruto wondered what he would be like with one. He hoped Goku gave him one for his next birthday, or Christmas gift.
"There... We're almost there." Naruto moved to Goku's side as he sheathed his blade. In the distance was a small rock face.
It hook half an hour for the small rock face to become a huge one. As the pair entered the shaded pathways of the tall vast cliff sides. Naruto looked on in interest.
"Woah..."
"Best keep an eye out Naruto. Just because we're nearing a temple. Doesn't mean this place is safe. Bandits live out here. And unless you're careful. They'll take everything from you."
As if predicting the future. The rock face exploded and Naruto watched as they're path was blocked.
"My... Aren't you a smart old man?" Naruto looked up at the top of the cliff to see a man in what Naruto would guess as typical bandit gear. Around the sides Naruto could see more men in similar clothing.
"Hand over everything and you may just leave alive."
"And if we don't?" Goku asked.
"Then we'll kill you and take you're things anyway. Doesn't really matter how we do it. We just want your things."
"It's not polite to threaten your elders. And people who are stronger than you..." Goku said calmly. The leader chuckled.
"Funny... Kill them." He stated.
"Oji-san..." Naruto muttered as the bandits held up bow and arrows.
"Don't move... Just watch." Goku muttered back. Naruto remained calm. If anything happened he knew Goku would save them.
Naruto flinched slightly as all the bow strings were released together.
As they got in close the wind began to rush passed the pair and it knocked the arrows out the sky.
"What? No way it's not time... Unless..." The leader called as the rocks began to rise as a vortex of wind began to tear away at the rocks. Slowly 5 figures became clear as Naruto blinked while Goku smiled.
"Damn... These guys..." The leader called in annoyance. "Pull back this is no fight we can match." With that, the leader took off up the side of the cliff.
As the wind calmed Naruto watched the figures step into the light.
All three wore monk's clothing like all normal temples. The colours were light grey with blue curled symbols formed along the sides of their legs. They wore black sashes with two flaps on both legs at the front.
The centre wore a black shirt with no sleeves and had two long grey wrist bands.
The two at his sides wore half versions on the right. With long sleeves down their right arm.
And two final one at the back wore long sashes over their left. Naruto blinked at the weapons on the twos backs.
"Woah..." Naruto muttered as Goku walked forward. The middle of the team did as well.
Both faced each other in the deep valley.
The bold haired man smirked and lashed out with a jumped right kick. Goku ducked and flipped backwards with a wide kick. The old man flipped backwards and sideways on before landing.
The man rushed forward and skidded as Goku was still going through his flip. Goku hopped off his hands and with a flip he swung out with the back of his right leg.
The old man blocked it and slid sideways to the wall on his left. An explosion whipped up from the force and as Naruto blinked wind whipped up and shot forward at Goku.
Goku brought his arms up and an energy force dispelled the attack. The wind cleared the area and both faced each other.
"It's good to see you... Old man." The monk spoke with a smile. Goku and the man relaxed.
"Good to see you too... Unido-san. You have improved."
The monk bowed. "I had hoped I had... Facing a master such as yourself. Please... Follow me." Unido spoke as he turned and walked past the men. They turned and followed.
As Goku walked Naruto could only blink.
'What... the... hell?'
XXXXX
All around on an open courtyard. Naruto watched monk's fighting. They were battling not just on the ground. The air and off different angles.
"I see the temple has increased in it training? When did fighting in the air come into play?" Goku spoke as Naruto looked up.
"I see you still remember our arts. But to be honest... You're the key to our fighting Goku. Since our last spar of course."
Goku chuckled.
"Good to see my teachings are being trained into normal arts..." Goku said as he watched with a smile at the monks.
"Oji-san... What's he talking about?" Goku glanced to Naruto.
"I'll explain soon." Goku said as they walked into a large temple. Unido gave a small nod and the monks walked off as the three walked on. They entered a large room and Goku stopped. Naruto stood by Goku as Unido stood facing the wall.
"So what brings you here?" He turned to Goku. Then glanced at Naruto. He then glanced to Goku. He was about to speak but Goku stopped him.
"Before you speak Unido..." Goku said as he lowered his hand. "Naruto-kun is here for training. He has wind following in his chakra. And I would like to speak with you alone..." Goku glanced to Naruto. "Please go find something to do for now... I shall be out soon." Naruto glanced to Goku. He nods and leaves.
As the door closed, Unido spoke.
"He looks like a clone. There is no way a son can look that close to his father. But... I guess you want to tell me something. Is it about Naruto?" Goku nods.
"I won't go into detail yet. But I'm just going to ask if you have free time for the next 2 weeks? To help train Naruto in his wind arts?"
"Sadly... I do not. I will be busy for a week. The kazekage is coming with his youngest son. And eldest daughter. She is coming for training. Like she does every year. And I have also said I would help the young jinchurriki, Garra. With using air to power his sand." Goku nods.
"Though I'm not one to judge people. Be careful of Garra... It is not your time yet and I don't want to future to change before I need it." Unido smiled.
"Do not worry Son Goku. I am far stronger than what a simple one tail could use against me." Goku nods. He turned to leave.
"I will return in one week. In that time I will do what I need to do for Naruto..." Goku stopped and glanced back. "When I return. I think this training may take up the rest of his holiday... So..." Goku said with a sigh. He turned away and left.
'I guess I'll have to try squeezing it in during the winter holidays then... I guess it's like they say... You can't truly predict the future...'

"Why we leaving?" Naruto asked as he and Goku walked down the path to the high mountains.
"Look down below..." Naruto looked down to the temple and saw a cart. "That carriage is carrying the kazekage. He is visiting with his son and daughter for training. We will return in a week for your training. But for now... I will train you so you can prepare for the task at hand." Naruto blinked.
"Really? The temples going to be that much harder?" Goku smiled.
"It's going to be. But when I've finished... It will make the training at the temple, that much more worth it." Naruto grinned.
"Then what we waiting for?! Let's get going!" Naruto yelled. Goku chuckled.
'Smile all you want Naruto...' Goku's expression became dark. 'For this next training lesson will decide if what I saw for you will be true... Or will my training be for nothing.' Goku mussed as he walked up the side of the cliff.
XXXXXX
The wind howled as Naruto stood atop the large cliff side. Down below, a raging river rushed. Naruto looked down in awe.
"Oji-san... This place is dangerous..." Naruto said turning to Goku. Goku was tucking their bags to the rocks with rope. Goku then turned to Naruto.
"No time to talk Naruto. This is what we'll be doing for the next week." Goku stabbed a blade into the ground. Naruto blinked as he looked at the blade.
The blade was a long katana. It had a black hilt with a stud pattern stitched in. It was patterned out with two stars.
A chain connected to base of the hilt had a small orb on it. About eyeball sized. The hilt guard was silver with four points.
But what amazed Naruto was the blade was a bright golden red. Goku rested on his blade as it dug into the ground.
"For the next 7 days. We will fight non-stop. By the end I will hope to push you to your limits and push you beyond your current level."
Naruto could only blink. As Goku smiled.
"If you can survive these 7 days. And show me everything you're made of. I will teach you the most advanced technique when you graduate as genin. The art of Kaio-ken... And..." Goku said as he brought his sword up.
"I will give you one of these." Goku gripped the blade tight.
"What's so good about that katana?" Goku smiled.
"This blade is special... I made it myself. It's one of seven. Each with their own ability. This sword is known as the fourth star... And what I will give you." Goku said as he pointed his blade at Naruto.
"It's the blade known as the first star... But that's if you survive." Naruto grinned as he drew his blade. He aimed at Goku as the wind howled.
"I see... Well then Oji-san... I will complete this task... I'll survive and push beyond my level. I show you what I'm made of that you will be proud... Let's begin!" Naruto said as he rested his blade down. Naruto rushed Goku as Goku did the same.
'Naruto... This training will put you at deaths door...' Goku mussed as both drew their blades back.
'I hope you're ready... Because if not... I won't be able to save you in time.' Both swung at each other.
And the fight began.
XXXXXXXXX
And there we have Naruto wind training chapter.
I plan hope you all enjoyed my little story. And they indeed all the correct demons. All from .
Now to point out if many still haven't realised this. This is based after dbz. There is no gt in Goku's past. So I can do as I wish from that point.
The katana's are just as you think. But I'll explain more in later chapters.
For now... Enjoy the fact that you got your chapter.
Also people have offered Idea's for Naruto's future team.
Remember. Give a good reason how they work together.
Like say Naruto under gai's teaching. Naruto is taijutsu based. What better than a taijutsu expert?
Or Naruto being under asuma because of his chakra nature.
It's like my friend said. Team's need balance. So before you send team ideas. Think of how they would work together to cover the other weakness... (If Naruto has any that is...)
I like it you gave me something to think about with the teams.
But if I can't fully reach a conclusion before I can make my change. I guess I'll just go by instinct. Seems to get me far enough.
Remember. Your idea's and thoughts are useful to me. Keep's me on my toes and also helps me think ahead.
Like one reviewer who wanted to know about what was going on in konoha.
Later!
