A/N: Before you begin. I would like to say this.
That when this story came to my head and I posted it to you to decided what story I do next. The bit in this chapter was one of my main ideas from the very beginning. And I've done my best to make this part a good one.
Remember, I'm no pro story writer. But I do my good god damned best. So enjoy and always tell me what you think.
Though I write off the bat. People's thoughts and idea's may spark something. Like what happened to old man hokage a couple chapters back.
Chapter 8
As soon as the fight began. Goku put Naruto on the defensive.
Ever since Naruto had trained Goku knew that just training wouldn't help him. This was what this trip was about. To teach Naruto to fight.
Either fighting monks or himself. Or even the random bandit or nuke ninja. The fact was Naruto was to gain experience from the fights. It's how the blond worked and how Goku knew he would work best.
Naruto was a reminder of people of his past. And Naruto was connected to his past. Naruto would learn through fighting. Like his student before.
So when Naruto attacked and Goku blocked. Naruto would match that block with as much strength as he could. And learn how to use it other time on his instincts.
This was the other reason that Goku was doing this 7 day none stop fighting.
Goku knew that Naruto's instincts were connected far deeper than Naruto even knows. And Goku was going to put his Naruto's instinct to breaking point that only Naruto would be able to draw on his power and control it.
This was the lock and Goku was the key to unlock Naruto's hidden power.
But it may come at a cost.
And if it fails... Naruto will be entering konoha.
In an urn.
Naruto dropped down swinging his blade and Goku blocked as both blades bent under the force. Goku pushed up and Naruto's blade flew up and out his hand. Naruto twisted and swung with a right fist.
Goku's hand released his blade and dodged Naruto's punch. With a lean left hook. Naruto impacted the rock face.
Naruto growled as he tensed his body.
He began to calculate something over the time since Naruto learned how to pull on his chi at instant.
Though Goku still hadn't got so far as to teach him to summon the power out like he'd down a few times. Naruto had seen enough and he knew away to draw on the power.
From the second Naruto had done a kamehameha. Naruto had drawn his chi out. Naruto just had to remember the feel and draw on it out his body than his hands.
Naruto grunted and Goku watched as Naruto shattered the rocks around his body in an aura of white energy.
Naruto landed and rushed forward as Goku got ready. And smile formed on the old man's face as he moved to defensive and Naruto attacked with rapid punches and kicks.
Though Naruto may have seemed weak. He was far from it.
Naruto was strong. But he didn't know how strong.
He'd not taken time to fully see what he could do. All he did know was that he could jump very high and move very quickly.
But he never looked deeper. That he could punch and shatter a rock without the need for his earth fist.
This fight was what Goku wanted. To draw on Naruto's power like he remembered that time with Uub. How the small child learned to fight and continued to match Goku every step.
True... Naruto's no Uub... But Naruto was someone who Goku could see that could match Uub's learning experience. And Naruto was the only one Goku knew could step up for what will come in future.
It all depended on this week. Nothing more.
Night began to fall and Naruto and Goku were nothing but thuds and sparks as fists and swords connected in the dark.
As day two came, Naruto was still going strong. His stamina was a show of his training.
Goku wasn't even fazed... After all, he was a saiyan who's through more periods of time than anyone. So he's got to have learned something.
Naruto jumped back and stamped into the ground.
All yesterday. Naruto had put on a full on attack with nothing but swords and fists. Now was so element.
Goku jumped back as spikes of rock shot out the ground. Goku twisted in the air and drew his sword back. "Take this!" Goku yelled as the blade glowed. "Hargh!" Goku roared as he swung. Naruto watched as a wave of fire rushed the blond. Melting the rock and forcing Naruto to jumped incredibly high.
Naruto gulped as the heat could be felt from his height. He blinked as he sensed an attack from behind. Naruto twisted and blocked Goku's downward slice and with the force sent the blond, crashing into the ground.
Goku landed and waited for the blond to return. The ground light up as Naruto rushed from the ground and swung at Goku. Goku dodged the right fist, which was coated in rock. This ducked the sweep kick with the same effect as the fist.
The second the blond landed Goku lashed out and Naruto blocked and shattered the rock on his arm. And in an instant the pair was a blur of punches and kicks. The pair pushed back across the open space. Which was littered with cuts and craters. The pair rushed forward with a battle cry.
A shock wave echoed out over the rocky area. The cliffs chipping and the river shaking.
The area Naruto and Goku stood with fist to fist. Left the pair standing in a 4 by 4 meter round creator.
The pair remained eye contact as Naruto and Goku battled. But it lasted only a moment before the vanished and was now moving at speed.
Goku having the far greater speed advantage over the blond. But Naruto wasn't about to lost this endurance task.
If one was the watch. All they would here are the thundering sounds of the pair connecting along the cliff side.
Goku appeared and ducked Naruto's attack from behind before Goku spun and kicked Naruto out off the cliff.
Naruto rotated and landed on the rock face and looked up to the old man. And in an instant connected with the old man's knee having not seen the attack before he could finish his own.
Naruto stumbled back, gasping for air like a fish out of water. It felt like something broke. But he couldn't really tell. Seeing as even thought blood was seeping out the side of his mouth. That had been from the first morning.
Naruto glared and crouched. Goku jumped to the side as Naruto attacked with his earth shuriken. And ten dodged Naruto's right punch. Goku brought his knee up and Naruto put his left hand to it.
With a push the blond flipped over and landed some distance back.
Naruto panted. Not that he was using more of his chakra. His stamina was wavering. But he had no choice. Naruto stomped the ground and the area Naruto impacted shot his blade into the air.
The blond gripped hold and gathered his chi and released a burst behind him. Propelling him at the old man.
Goku smirked as his arm glowed and he blocked the blade with his arm. Goku then took that moment with Naruto's mind stopping at the fact this awed the blond to no end. Put his hand up to Naruto's chest and launched the boy back with chi. Naruto skidded and flipped to his feet.
The blond vanished and began anew.
The night appeared once more with the strong winds brushing the cliff tops.
Naruto wondered if this would get any harder. With the fact he had to now sense Goku's movement. Keep his feet gripped to the ground. And focus on his attack.
His stamina may not hold out now till tomorrow at this rate!
Dawn came and Naruto was ready to collapse.
His body was heavy, and he was tired more than anything.
7 days was too much. He couldn't even last 3... But, he wasn't about to give up. He still energy to fight and as long as he could stand and grip his blade...
Goku saw the blond was almost out of steam. Goku knew it was now or never. With a full day coming. Naruto's challenge is now!
Goku vanished from the blond's sight and senses. There wasn't even any warning as Goku backhanded Naruto right off the cliff and into the cliff the other side.
Naruto yelled as his body fell. He glanced to the rushing water and with a mighty pull with his chakra. Dragged a wall of rock out. He gripped on tight and slid down. The rock giving way to his last bit.
Naruto swung helplessly as he glanced to the raging river only hundreds of yards below. He looked up to see Goku's shadowed figure.
"Oji-san..." Naruto grunted as his hand slid. The chakra slowly lowering. "Oji-san help!!!"
Naruto's eyes widen as Goku faded from the cliff face. And his chakra gave out. Naruto could only think to himself as he fell.
'Why... Why didn't you do anything? You could fly... Why not save me?'
Images of Naruto and Goku spending time together appeared.
'Was it just a trick...? Just to get close?'
An image of him in Goku's cabin for the first time.
'So that I'd die and no one would look for me? Is that it?' Naruto growled as his eyes glowed like a raging blue river.
'You think I'll just let you do that!' The water below began to swirl as wind whipped up.
'I'll... I'll...' Naruto felt something snap. Like he had just broken through a plate of glass and plummet into its darkness.
Wind swirled up like a tornado and saved the blond. And then began to rocket into the sky.
Goku watched as a tornado appeared before him. Only then to see water be dragged up into the tornado. He watched as Naruto rose up the spiral and in an instant stopped the wind and water. His arms out as he glared at the old man.
Goku smirked. "So you got some fight huh?" Naruto swung his arms back. "Then show me!" Naruto rocketed forward.
Goku jumped back as Naruto destroyed the ground. Only then to block as the blond moved like the wind and kick out at Goku's side.
Goku winced. He knew just how powerful Naruto's power was. And he had it right with his plan.
Naruto had unlocked all three stages at once. And was using it both aware and unaware of it. Naruto was thrown back and Goku looked at the three fine cuts in his arm. Goku looked up.
Goku could see as Naruto got into stance. Wind swirled round his body like armour. And now completely under the blonds control. Goku knew that if he battled with the now anger fuelled blond. Goku will be feeling worst than he's even been in a long time.
Naruto lashed out and in a burst. Goku vanished from Naruto's vision and appeared behind the blond.
Naruto turned and blocked the strike to his neck.
But it wasn't with his body. Goku could see a fine rushing wind whirl between Goku's hand and Naruto's arm.
Naruto's glowing blue eyes met Goku's calm black. "Teme..." Naruto growled before swinging a leg out.
Goku ducked the wind slicing kick and spun onto his hands with a double kick to the blond's chest.
Wind formed between the pair and Naruto was thrown back. Naruto pressed against the wall with a light touch as it was chipped away by the wind. Goku got into stance.
'This will be hard. I need to get under Naruto's defence and knock him out... At this rate he'll lose control of what he's now gained control of... He's not trained in wind chakra...' Goku watched Naruto push his hand forward. Goku's eyes widen and he jumped. At that second the area Goku stood in was now cut away by the wind. Goku drew his hand back and his hand glowed.
Out of the ground Goku's blade shot up and into his palm. Goku gripped tight as the blade glowed with fire. 'I've got no choice... The stunt was too effective.' "Hargh!" Goku yelled as he sent a wave of fire at the blond.
Naruto looked at the fire and stopped the ground. Instantly the ground cut open and a large wall of rock shot up. Naruto then put his hand up and fired the large wall at the attack.
The two connected and molten rock shot out from the explosion. Goku tensed as Naruto rushed forward. Jumping from molten rock to another and appear out the smoke with his fist back. Goku blocked with his blade and using the blunt side knocked his hand up before kicking Naruto backwards. Goku then vanished in the air and punched Naruto in the gut with great force before turning and kicking Naruto down into the ground.
Naruto was engulfed in smoke from the explosion. Goku sighed as he sensed Naruto's energy lower back to safe level before he dropped down. As he landed the smoke cleared showing Naruto. Out cold in a rubble of rock. The last traces of wind fading away.
Goku smiled. And began to set up camp.
Naruto sighed as he rolled in his bed. Goku sat beside the fire of the capsule corp hut he had set up. No normal tent and fire would survive this wind. Naruto opened his eyes and Goku spoke.
"Feeling better?" Naruto sat up quickly, facing the old man.
"Why..."
"Didn't I save you at the cliff?" Naruto nods. He was finding everything confusing right now.
"To unlock you power."
"My... power?" Naruto asked. Goku stood and walked over to Naruto's bed.
"Your power is very unique. I know of only one other person with the level you used today."
Naruto's thoughts went back to the fight.
"You remember right?" Naruto nods. "And how it felt?" Naruto looked at Goku.
"Just what was it I used...? And how did I control that anyway?" Goku sighed sitting straight.
"How... I can tell you is something that you've always known. And why, I can't tell you."
"Oh come on Oji-san!" Naruto yelled. "You keep saying something new to me that is connected to this big secret. What is it? Why can't you tell me?" Goku smirked.
"Everything comes with time. You are not ready yet to know the truth. I told you when. 6 months after you become a ninja. Which means you have to wait another year and a half almost." Naruto growled.
"That's stupid..." Goku sighed. "Then tell me..." Goku looks at the blond.
"What is my power?" Goku sat back.
"You remember the 5 monks?" Naruto nods. "Your power comes from a line that is connected to the wind monk."
"It is?" Goku nods.
"Your power is a chakra bloodline. Like Hashirama's wood style. Yours is pure wind style. But it's not simple ninjutsu."
"I guessed that... I used the air around me." Goku nods.
"Yes. Your chakra flows through the wind and you can control it to your whim. There are 3 levels to unlock. But, you've unlocked all three."
"So how do I control it?" Goku stood up and walked to the door.
"For now... You can't even control the basics. If I hadn't tried to stop you. The wind would have killed you. It's a control that takes fine work to master. So for now... You won't use the power you've gained." Naruto opened his mouth.
"Until... You've trained at the wind temple. The temple leader will help you. He is the only one who can help you master your limit." Naruto shut up.
"So what now?" Naruto asked. Goku coughed.
"Well... You did what I wanted. The incentive was that I would teach you a taijutsu skill. But the thing is I was going to teach you it when you became a shinobi anyway. So no worries there. But, starting tomorrow. We will focus on chi. I'm going to make sure by the end of the week you can fly. That's what I hope for. And from there, we'll see." Naruto grinned.
"Got yah! Night!" Naruto said going to sleep. Goku chuckled.
"Night Naruto..." Goku said going to his room. The wind outside howling like a hurricane.
The sun rose the next morning and as it lit up the area. Naruto and Goku stood on the open area. Naruto and Goku were in battle stance.
"Remember what you felt yesterday... Focus and attack me with everything you've got!" Naruto nods as he tensed.
Slowly the ground round Naruto began to swirl with dirt as Naruto's chi flared to life. And in a boom Naruto was burning bright with chi.
Goku smiled. "Good..." Goku said as his chi flared.
Naruto dashed forward with great speed and jumped with a kick. Goku blocked and a loud boom echoed as Goku turned backwards and swung a wide right back kick to the blond.
Naruto blocked and was knocked away. The blond flipped. Goku smiled. Time to teach Naruto as they attacked. Goku waved Naruto to attack him. Naruto rushed forward.
"To fly..." Goku said as he blocked. "You need to focus your chi outward... Then push out from below you and do a constant release." Goku said as Naruto jumped a kick. "Once you've got this it works the same for going in different directions. And to stop in and stay in the air..." Goku blocked Naruto's multiple strikes and jumped upward and stopped.
"Just release your chi at all angles... Like you ward powering up. But in a constant flow." Naruto growled and flipped back along the ground before jumping on a high rock and jumping up.
Naruto swung a right kick and Goku blocked before both rapidly attack each other. Both connected with a great force and Naruto was knocked away.
"If that's true how to the fly. I think I've figure out this..." Naruto said cupping his hands back. "Kamehameha!" Naruto yelled as he drew his hands forward. He was blown back at the beam fired.
Goku stood still in the air watched as the beam curved away as Naruto fell. Goku smirked at Naruto.
"Not bad... But if you can't control your fire while you move... You won't hit anyone with such a good attack." Naruto skidded back and growled.
His eyes widen as Goku drew his hands back.
"This... Is how you do it!" Goku yelled as he fired a beam at Naruto.
Naruto gulped and on instinct put his hands up. The beam connected as Naruto channelled his chi. Naruto blinked as he realised he caught the beam.
'If that's true... Then.' Naruto growled as he fired a beam out of his palms and forced the attack back.
Goku smirked as Naruto tried to fight a struggle he was bound to lose. But in order not to do harm to the blond Goku stopped his attack and let the beam come his way. With a mighty swing with his right arm. Goku deflected the attack into the sky. He then watched Naruto's chi flare and on a whim boost jumped at Goku. Goku smirked as he blocked the strike.
"That's it... But you can't win by jumping!" Goku yelled kicking out. Naruto flipped over and spun the air.
"I know that!" Naruto yelled as his chi flared and Naruto flipped backwards as Goku kicked out again. He then jetted to the ground and landed with a flip. He turned and smirked.
"But I'm super learner... It'll take time to master each of these skills." Goku calmed and waved his hand at Naruto.
"Then let's keep this training going then." Naruto smirked as he flared his chi.
"With pleasure! Agh!" Naruto then rushed forward.
Day passed and night fell. The fourth day rolled by before the 5 day settled.
By now Naruto and Goku had moved to another cliff side. Having finally done so much damage that the cliff gave way and dammed the river.
Now they had moved to a lower, wider region. Tall rocky out crops with enough to race around and hide for cover.
Naruto was hiding behind a rocky pillar as he glanced out to the 4 Goku's who glided about. Having used a move which split him into three more people. But Naruto also noted they were weaker by the fact he'd picked up the ability very quickly to sense chi.
Naruto sighed as he sat with his back to the rock. 'As long as I keep my chi low... He can't sense me... But.' Naruto glanced about him. 'He put me in a terrain of my advantage. So if I time everything correctly... Aww whom I kidding. I'll just take my chances... I'm not slow player like Shikamaru.' Naruto smirked.
'I work on the fly... That's my specialty.' Naruto drew a scroll from his pouch. 'Sensei was right...' Naruto mused as he rolled the scroll out. 'Sealing is useful.' "Kai."
One of the Goku's saw smoke and dashed at Naruto's spot. He glanced to find nothing there but the scroll.
Over to the far right or the three Goku's 5 earth disks flew out round the boulders and at the Goku's.
One of the Goku's deflected and rushed the spot to find it empty. 'He's moved again... I see what he's doing.' Goku mused with a smirk.
Naruto glanced to the last two Goku's. 'I can't tell the really one... But I'll just have to attack once their all in place. Now... For the third.' Naruto tensed as the third Goku rushed his spot. 'Shit.'
The Goku glanced round and found no one. Naruto took deep breaths as he slowly climbed the rock side without a sound. 'Ok... Here I go!' Naruto formed a seal. 'Kai!'
Instantly, by the three Goku's tags glowed and were hit by flash bangs.
The final Goku turned to his copies and sees a kunai fly at him. He blocked the kunai and a tag glowed and he was hit by the final flash bang.
Naruto turned to the lower Goku. 'One...' Naruto jumped and went for a drop kick.
The Goku glanced about before vanishing and Naruto crumpled onto the floor.
"Ouch..." Naruto muttered with swirled eyes. Three chuckles and Naruto looked up to see Goku. Goku laughed.
"Not bad tactics... Too bad you didn't suppress your chi well when you ran off."
"You mean..." Naruto muttered. Goku smiled.
"I could tell were you were from the second you unsealed that sword... By the way. How where you going to use that? I mean you just tried to drop kick me."
"I can't really kill you old man. But it was just in case I needed something." Goku smiled.
"Well let's call it a day and move on to teaching you some more control on chi." Naruto nods as he stood.
"Ok!"
That night the pair were sitting by the fire. Goku was smiling at fun days training. Naruto was in deep thought.
He had been in thought every night since he unlocked his limit. His thoughts were on Son Goku. He had thought he knew the man. But he seemed to be far more unique than anything he could think would make sense.
"Something wrong?" Naruto looked to Goku to see him looking at him. Naruto nods.
"Yeah... Oji-san." Naruto spoke. Goku nods. "Who are you?" Goku blinked at Naruto. Goku glanced to the fire with a smile.
He said nothing for a few minutes as Naruto waited.
"Naruto." Goku spoke, getting Naruto's attention.
"Yeah?" Goku poked the fire a bit. "Tell me... What's your opinion on me?" Naruto looked at the fire as he tried to find the best answer for that.
"Well... I think you're someone who's travelled and trained in a lot of areas in life. And gained great knowledge and strength. The fourth hokage met you on an off chance and he somehow gained the right to be trained by you. And now you're passing it on to me... Which has made me wonder." Goku blinked.
"Did you train my father too? Or was the fourth my father." Goku smirked.
"You seemed to have had a bit of thought on that."
"Yeah... You said you promised a friend. But you've never mentioned anyone beside the fourth hokage. So... Am I right?" Goku sighed.
"Naruto..." Goku stopped at that. He was having a moment to find the right words. "So many people's knowledge... Yes. You are the son of the fourth. But!" Goku said, stopping Naruto's mouth. "There is more to it than that. And that has to wait." Naruto sighed.
"Why wasn't I told? Why didn't you tell me?" Goku raised an eyebrow.
"I think you already know why..." Naruto sighed with a nod.
With someone known as the 4th hokage. The one man who wiped out an entire force of iwa ninja in the great war. They would want to take revenge on that me. Even kill his family.
"Yeah..." Goku coughed and Naruto looked back at Goku.
"Now that we've passed that. Tell me, how old do you think I am?" Naruto blinked. He grinned.
"Well..." Naruto started. "Considering the fact you have grey hair. But hardly have any wrinkles like the 3rd hokage. I would say you must be about 60, maybe 70 years old." Goku chuckled.
"Good guess by my looks. But that's not my age." Goku said with a grin.
"My full age... Is 725 years old."
If it wasn't for the wind. You would have Naruto's jaw snap.
"Se.... seven hundred and twenty five? No way!" Naruto yelled. Goku nods. "But how? How can you be that old?" Naruto asked.
"That... Will have to wait."
"What, why?"
"It's the end of the chapter."
"Oh."
XXXXXXX
And yes I wanted to end it like that. That's how I wanted this chapter to go.
Now.... Over the weeks up to this I've been going over the team ideas. Weighing them out. While people have given good idea's... I began to realise I couldn't mess with all the teams.
Inoshikachou... I couldn't really change them for the fact that they work well together. But it's also for the fact the friend ship with shikamaru and chouji. Without the pair on the same team. Chouji hasn't got that friend to back him up. So with Ino's insults and the sensei's comments on his weight. Who's there to at least give him friendly support.
So Shikamaru is out.
I already said that the ones who couldn't be teamed up with Naruto were sasuke, neji and shino. Because they are the best of their squads.
I also had to toss about some ideas for teammates here and there and plot my story lines ahead of my original setting.
But after kicking some but in the imagination department. I've come up with my team.
So these are the teams.
Ino, Shikamaru and Chouji. Under asuma
Kiba, Shino... And Mina. (For now) Under kurenai
Mina is a oc that I will be asking for background from Mattmathews who does the naruhina doujin. Though she isn't the sort for recon like kiba and shino. She might have something useful once I've checked with Matt on her full background.
Next is Sasuke and Sakura... With an unknown member. Under kakashi.
I decided these two should stay as cannon... But I need a final member.
I could go with Sai. But this sai isn't root. Seeing as he doesn't seem to have been taken into root until he was older. But that is unsure. My last attempt with this sort of was well... crappy.
Or I'll go with an oc. If people want I don't mind one. But please note that if you do give one. He's not to be too strong. This kids got to be low in the class to be in this team. So he's a Naruto replacement.
I will take the best ideal oc for the team.
Now. We have Ten-ten and Neji. And unknown under an unknown.
Same as before. They do well together. And like before. I'll need two oc's for this.
So remember. This one is a low class like lee.
But, I haven't decided yet, if I should go with neji in the exam's... Or he passes a year before the rookies go for it.
It's going to take time to decide. So be careful. The ninja may only have slight mentions.
And a jonin is useful. This one doesn't need much background. Just looks and name. He won't do much from else really. He's one of them minor's that will be their then gone. Unless he's an important character in Naruto.
And finally. After much thought and weighing out how to do it.
We have, Naruto, Lee and Hinata under Gai.
Yes I know their all close range. But we must remember.
Naruto is more than close range. He's long range! Kamehameha! He's sort of the ten-ten to the team.
Lee will fall under Gai's training. But not right away. After all, you know how it works.
And Hinata is like the neji. But her confidence will grow in this.
So in away, I've made a cannon and non-cannon team.
Well that's it for now. Enjoy and give me your views. Bye!
