Thank you for your reviews everyone, I honestly did not think I would even get one after only posting one chapter that too a day after I published.
Responses: to Reviews:
FoxHero007: I just put up NaruHarem, just like that, it can be changeable, and I just didn't have a better idea for a pairing at the time.
Pencyke: Thanks for that comment, I wanted it to be right after he found Jiraya cause before that is all cannon, anyway if you disagree with me just review again and let me know, I was planning on adding one later on though, but thank you anyway for the compliment I guess.
WolfCoyote: I don't really understand what you mean by "White Steak" do you mean in his hair or something? Darker Colors yes definitely yes, if anything he will be getting rid of that orange eyesore at least.
shebysamgirl: My Favorite review, no offense to the others who reviewed because it was my first review three hours after I posted so awesome! Anyway the title doesn't seem to be good to me so, I'm open to suggestions!
If you don't like a chapter, say so cause if I get enough reviews saying that they didn't like it I will most likely change it.
Disclaimer: Naruto does not belong to me yet.
Now on to the chapter:
CHAPTER TWO: NOT SO AMAZING TRAINING
"So you're saying you guys will train me for the chunin exams?!" Naruto asked excitedly. "Yes Naruto, we will be training you in our scared ground within the Raitoningu Mountain itself, the Cave of Sparks, this cave is special, due to the powerful jutsu casted by our ancestors, time inside it passes far slower than outside of it, one day outside is ten days within the cave" said Shurui. "So cool!" Naruto exclaimed, "What will I be learning there, cool jutsu, or your clan's fighting kata or or…" "Naruto! Do not get so excited you will have a total of 300 days inside the cavern, the first 100 of which will be spent improving you mind and body, you may have passed our exam, but it was by a small margin." Said Hikari. "Hikari, I want to learn jutsu or I won't be able to beat Sasuke and Neji-teme! Naruto exclaimed. "See Naruto, this is what I am talking about you are not mature enough to learn our clans techniques or any jutsu, your reflexes are dull and your mind not so calm, in a battle you must keep your mind free from all distractions and not be provoked easily" said Hikari, "I promise though at the end of your training you will be able to go head to head with me at least.
"Enough! Who do you think you are brat demanding we reveal our secrets to you, we are generously offering you to become our summoner, that itself is an enormous prestige and yet you demand more." boomed Nōtarin. "Nōtarin, he is only a child and children may be as he is, after our training we give he will become the ideal summoner." Bishojo intoned, "Hikari, his training will begin at dawn." Rōjin said." As you wish Rōjin-sama." Hikari replied.
"Come Naruto, we will begin your training." Hikari called. "Yosh, let's get started! "Yelled Naruto.
IN THE CAVERN OF SPARKS…
"Woah, Hikari, it's so big, it's bigger than the field in the Konoha Stadium!" Naruto exclaimed. "It is only a portion of the cavern Naruto, it is far larger than this, come Naruto let us head to the Inner Sanctum." Hikari responded as he walked deeper into the cavern. "Now let's get started" said Hikari as he pulled two pairs of training weights from a rack in the Inner sanctum. "Naruto, put these on and run twenty laps around the ground, the ideal time is five minutes, the total distance will be 5km so you will need to cover one kilometre in a minute." Hikari, that's so fast though, I'm not even sure if Kakashi-sensei can run that fast, and I have to do it while wearing weights!" Naruto exclaimed. "If you want to continue with the training you will run Naruto, by the end of the week I want you to be able to run at that speed, we will increase your speed from there." Hikari replied.
Naruto began to run as fast as he could, he began to pick up speed and unconsciously fuelling himself using his chakra to enhance his legs. Hikari nodded as Naruto finished the first 10 laps in 5 minutes, he knew that Naruto was fuelling his limbs with chakra as the weights were weighing him down.
"What's the time Hikari?" Naruto panted as he finished his final lap, "Naruto, you finished in 12 minutes, more than double the ideal time, we have one week to bring up your speed." replied Hikari. "So what next Hikari?" Naruto asked. "You will have to improve your reflexes, follow me to another chamber." Hikari said. As soon as they came to another chamber filled with swinging logs suspended by ropes, "Now Naruto, go through the swinging logs without getting hit." Hikari commanded. "Easy Peasy" Naruto said as he ran towards the course and began to go through it only to get hit by the second swinging log. "Easy Peasy is it Naruto", Hikari chuckled. Naruto went back to the swinging logs grumbling about stupid sadistic wolves. Naruto repeated the course, this time with a little bit more success, making it to the fifth log out of the twenty rather than the second one. Hikari struggled to restrain his laughter at seeing a disgruntled Naruto stand up after being knocked down only to be knocked down again by the same log. "Hikari, do I have to keep getting hit like this?" asked Naruto. "Yes you do Naruto, getting hit encourages you to not get hit again, and it build character." Hikari responded with a straight face. Naruto turned around and took a step forward only to get knocked down yet again, this time Hikari was unable to restrain his laughter and began to laugh uncontrollably. This routine continued for some time until Naruto finally completed the course without getting hit. "Naruto, you have finally finished the course, starting from tomorrow you will go through the course twice a day until you can get through it flawlessly after which you will start to go through it blindfolded. Naruto stared at Hikari is disbelief before shaking his head and asking "So what's next?", Hikari thought for a while before saying, "Well Naruto, that will be enough for today tomorrow I will start you on something new. Now you may go to sleep or continue training, it is your wish, I'm gonna go to sleep." Said Hikari.
Naruto nodded and was about to go to sleep on the pad Hikari laid out on the floor before saying "Actually Hikari I wanna go through the course a couple more times before I sleep". Hikari nodded before going to sleep. Naruto went to the course before taking a deep breath and going through the course, the first few times he was knocked down, but he soon began to get the hang of the exercise getting through the course untouched most of the time. After an hour of practicing Naruto decided it was enough and went to sleep with a smile on his face.
THE NEXT DAY…
"Naruto wake up" coaxed Hikari, "What the hell Hikari, waking me up so early" said Naruto before going back to sleep. Hikari sighed before smirking, Hikari pushed Naruto gently as possible under the swinging logs course before sitting on his hind legs, waiting for Naruto to wake up. Naruto yawned before waking up and rubbing his and turning his head only to see a log swinging at his head at high speeds and getting knocked aside. Hikari let out a chuckle which turned into a full blown laugh. Naruto got up with a tick mark on his head before grabbing a rock from the cavern floor and chucking it at Hikari. Hikari easily dodged it before saying "Chill kid it was all in good fun!" Naruto glared at Hikari and sat down, "What are we doing today Hikari-TEME?" Naruto asked with a smirk. "Don't call me teme Naruto, remember I'm the one training you" Hikari chuckled.
"To answer your question as an addition to running and going through the log course you will also be doing chakra control exercises in preparation for you to learn jutsu." Said Hikari before handing Naruto a leaf, "I want you to cut that with your chakra, and before you start or say anything you will also be learning the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu from this scroll to speed up your training." said Hikari as he tossed a scroll to Naruto. "Ummm Hikari, I already know the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" Naruto said before forming ten Kage Bunshin. Hikari laughed, "That's not the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, you would not have nearly enough chakra to make five of them much less ten!" Hikari said before padding up to one of the Bunshin and touching it only for his paw to hit a solid mass. Hikari's jaw dropped, "Holy Shit this kid…can already do the Kage Bunshin!" he thought. "But how does this speed up my training?" asked Naruto confusedly. "Wait, you don't know the advantages of the Kage Bunshin?" Hikari asked. "Besides them being solid, no I don't" Naruto said impatiently. "The Kage Bunshin's memories transfer to you once it is dispelled." Naruto stared at Hikari before saying, "So I can speed up my training by a thousand!" said Naruto as he created a thousand clones. At seeing the amount of chakra Naruto had, Hikari promptly fainted.
"HIKARI, HIKARI!", "who in the world is calling my name" Hikari thought before sitting up and seeing the thousand Narutos and fainting again.
Hikari woke up from his shock induced slumber seeing a thousand Narutos sitting around pushing their chakra through the leaves, Hikari shook his head as he felt unconsciousness about to take hold of him again. "Alright, now Naruto let me tell you how to cut that leaf with your chakra." Said Hikari. "Finally you are awake again Hikari" said Naruto. Hikari nodded in confirmation before saying, "Naruto, I want you to imagine your chakra as two sharp blades grinding together to form an ultra-sharp one and push it into the leaf. The thousand Narutos tried it and one of the Narutos made a tiny cut on his leaf before shouting in triumph, Hikari walked up to that clone and dispelled it, "Oi Hikari, what the hell…" said Naruto before realizing what his clone had done and mimicking the results in his own leaf. This continued for an hour before Naruto was able to cut the leaf fully, though extremely slowly with his chakra.
"Ok now that you have done that, you're gonna go through the routine now" said Hikari. The Narutos collectively groaned before dispelling all at once causing Naruto to get a headache. Naruto groaned and fell on his back from the sudden influx of memories. Hikari went up to Naruto, "Naruto you should get used to it, it happens every time you spawn that many clones and dispel them all at once, next time dispel then in groups of ten at 30 second intervals. Naruto nodded before beginning to run around the cavern, this time Naruto finished his twenty laps in seven minutes. 'Good Job! That is a five minute decrease from last time, I guess all that obstacle course running paid off huh." Hikari said. "Now I want you to take off your weight and run this time." Said Hikari. Naruto nodded and took off his weights and began to run only to fall to the ground due to the lack of weight on his legs. Needless to say Hikari began to laugh his ass off.
"You feel like that because you were not used to the lack of weight on your legs even if it was only for a day. "Naruto got up and started running again, this time without falling, he finished his laps in 4 minutes. "Alright Hikari, now I don't have to do laps anymore right?" exclaimed Naruto. Hikari couldn't resist to be able to burst Naruto's bubble, "Nope, you're gonna have to get below five minutes with weights." Said Hikari. Naruto looked at Hikari, "You think that's really funny don't ya Hikari." Asked Naruto with a deadpan.
"Whatever, now let's see how you are doing in the course" said Hikari with a smirk. Naruto quickly flew through the course untouched. "To think he could accomplish that within a day, that is truly amazing." Hikari thought. "In your hairy face Hikari, I did it in a day!" shouted Naruto in triumph. "Ya ya, now we can start you on doing to course blindfolded so you can go through the course based on your other senses besides sight as well." Hikari said. "Well I'm pumped so I'm ready for anything!" said Naruto.
Hoped you liked the new chapter, from now on, every 50 reviews gets an omake! Again if you don't like the chapter let me know cause I may be willing to change a few points from it. The chapters is around 2k words around double the size of the previous one. The polls for the pairings will be conducted in a little bit. The name of the cavern( Cave of Sparks )is horrible so I'm open to suggestions on that. The title isn't to good in my opinion so I'm open to suggestions on that as well if there is an exemplary one I'll change the title to the one suggested. THe Next Chapter will most likely be about how things are going in Konoha. Review everyone! After the Next chapter is posted a ppoll will be held for the pairing cause I'm gonna need to start the development a little.
